Once Again Advocated by
Emperor Of Russia.
Has Probably Invited Powers
To Meet at The Hague.
Idea Has Warm Support Of Pres. Roosevelt.
Great Secrecy Maintained.

st. Petersburg Sept. 1S.-Emperor
Nicholas, today, again appears before
The world as q promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo Japan
CSC war over and even before the peace
treaty has been ratified. than His
Majesty is sending invitations to a sec
und peace conference at The Hague.
THAT the Emperor has done so. was
learned. today. from Il source which
leaves no shadow of doubt as to it's
authenticity.
IT is officially announced that the
Russian government proposes to ad-
,'rcss the foreign powers with Il view
to The holding of a second peace con-
i"rrnrn at The Hague" but is known
that negotiations preceding this an
nounc, mcnt that Che government pro
posed to address the powers We're en-
tered into especially with the United
STATE and were conducted with tn"
greatest secrecy. there being not the
slightest iiklinG that Russia contcln-
plated anything Of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here, ana that Russia
should plan Il second conference despite
the steps already taken by President
mont. II is clear that the step could
not be taken by Russia without first
reaching Il complete understanding
with President Roosevelt. The fact that
President EOoS,Yelt IS reported as be
ing entirely i'll sympathy with the
proposal and that he said to believe
that the to the initiator Of the first
Hague conference should belong tn"
honor of couVOkiug the second. ana
readily and even gladly acCeded I" the
Russian proposal. is clc:tr PROOF thit
the conference has already been called
and that President Roosevelt fcilil-
pushed his part in il to the Emperor.
There is strong reason to believe that
thr news even of the intention of the
Russian government would not he
uiven ont. unless invitation had already
been sent to the powers and, possibly
that their answers had been received.
IN this CinnectiOn, an Interesting qucS-
zion trises as 10 how the invitation WAS
communicated to Japan in view of the
Lack Of diplomatic relations, but the
,uvifatinn may be delaycI until such
relations; have been resumed or il may
have been forwarded through the
United States. ....
