Washington, d. c.. May 31-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is about to resume the
efforts which he has made from time
to time since the battle of Liao-Y Yang
TO hasten the end of hOstilities between
Russia and Japan. Although strictest
omcial reticence is maintained, it is
known that the President will do all
within his power TO effect a mutual un-
derstanding between the belligerents
which will serve as a basis for peace
negotiations. Although American in
nucnce will be cast for peace there will
be no extension OF good offices until
they are known to be acceptable to
Russia.
The conference between the Presi-
dent and NJ. Kogoro Takahira, Japan
esa Minister. at the White House last
night put the President closely IN
touch with the Japanese position
which has been announced in general
terms by NJ. Takahira, who said: "Af-
ter this great victory the responsibility
for continuing the war rests alone with
Russia"
Although the Secretary Of War is in
charge Of affairs OF state in the alb
sence Of Mr. Hay, it is apparent thai
the President himself viii handle tbs
delicate diplomacy involved in his ef-
fort to bring about peace, which the
Russian Ambassador declares is now
