UP TO ROOSEVELT
To Bring About Peace If Peace Is
 Possible

! Washington. June 6.-Pending the decision of the ear regarding war or peace in the far east the president and the European ambassadors with whom he is daily conferring. have agreed that silence regarding their activities is necessary and word to this effect has 1 been passed along lest Russia take of fense and go contrary to what the neu- tral powers believe to be for her own advantage.
 Count Cassini. the Russian ambassa- dor. remains without advices from St. Petersburg that throw any light on the probable policy of the czar. The ambassador has not yet received an acknowledgment of his long cablegram of last week regarding his conference with the president. The cablegram was sent not for the purpose of trans mItting any message to the czar. but. acting on his own initiative. the am bassador made a faithful report Of what was described at the time as "an informal and general conversation"
 No formal tender of mediation was made nor was any reported. The ambassador however, felt that his government should be informed of the views in favor of peace and he there fore incorporated them Tn his cable gram. It is expected that later on the Russian embassy will be informed whether the result Of the battle of the Sea Of Japan has affected the deter1ni- nation Of the St. Petersburg govern ment to continue the war. Any infor- nation on this subject VIII be promptly placed before the president.
 Peace talk was temporarily SUD- planted in diplomatic circles today by comment nf DelCasse and developments in the Mo roccan situation. It Is believed here that the effect of the retirement of the distinguished diplomat will be to in- crease the opportunity of the president and the ambassadors at Washington in their efforts toward peace negotiations
 Commenting on this tonight a Euro pean diplomat said: While M Del Casse was at the head of the French foreign office his intimacy with Lord Lansdowne gave to London and Paris a splendid opportunity for concerted action that would induce Russia and Japan to talk peace. The retirement or M. DelCasse must necessarily have an effect upon the Anglo French en- tente as we'll as the Franco Russian alliance. Not only was M. DelCasse largely responsible for the former, but |
 
 friend Russia possessed in France. The radical party, which is now in power. | is not as friendly to Russia as was M. | DeICasse. Without DelCasse's assis- tance Lord Landowne can hardly hope | to accomplish much toward peace. | This latest development only increases he opportunity of the president, with he assistance already assured him rom Berlin, to lead the neutral powers In assisting peace negotiations by con- 'erted moral suasion rather than by any act savoring of intervention or nediation."
 Sir Mortimer Durand, the British was at the White House oday. where he left his card for the president. The ambassador will have long talk with the president in the lext day or two.
