When peace Is made IN y the Far
East 1t will be concluded by direct
negotiations between Japan and B Rus
s,a. Therewill sbe3no congress .of the
powers to discuss or dictate terms
as was the case at the close o. Japans
war5with China The only use for
Fan termedIarS Will be to forward to
Japan The intimation 81 Russia that
3shesls feady5to$ quit fighting and seek Seek
peace. But Il the neutral power that
performs this Office for the Car
should attempt TO indicate The terms
upon which hostlllties should cease.
Japan would refuse the oyertures.
She proposes + to deal directly With
Russia In peace as she has Iii war;;
and she intendsSto Keep for herself
the fruits of3yictory. 4 Il lasiEt; II;
In this position Japan will Sbey; SUP.
ported by her ally Great Britain.
England, 4 IS said has ALREADY !, in il, al, ali
informal way, made IT Known that she
will take no part In any international
conference such as has: been suggest.
;ed In some quarters should be held
at the conclusion OF the war ID con
slider the peace terms. This stand,
which IS distinctly inthe Interests
Of Japan, Will prevent the calling ~ 81
such a conference because 4 { maliss
its failure certain from the start Z w ".
Generally It is believed here; l:ltr now
that peace viii not come 1ntil after
the pending big battle8in Manch1rla
has fought Should the Gar de:
eide, eithersin the nearsfutiire orSafter
the coming land battle that the time
has come forspeace, some ottlcials here
look for intervention on the part 3of
the German Kaiser. II the Kaiser
should send to Russia a strongly word.
e! note to the effect that the Interests
Of Russia herself, and OF humanity,
demanded that hostllltles should
cease, Sand that nothing could be- gain.
ed by further fighting, ,3the Car could
save his face BY publishing the fact
to the world, and announcing that sun:
der such pressure heiSwns compelled

Another possibility which Sls enter.
tained ainS some quarters, us that Rus.
sia may not sue for peace at all. Let.
Ting her armies fall back into sibee..
ffia. she could maintain indefinitely
an altitude OF belllgerency without
actual Ehostilittes! Japan, lit; is belleys..
ed, will mot pursue her beyond the
confines Of sManch IN this way,
Russia might avoid the payment Off
large indemnity to Japan. ,s5.sSsl
Count Casslni, the Russian ambas.
sador, In his talk with the President
yesterday, lent color to this view Of
possible Russian policy. by pointing
out that Russia could lose nothing
either5b BY waiting or BY ontinuing the
war on land. On the sea, he said,
Russia had nothing to lose, while no
part Of the territory Of the Russian
Empire had been lost nor Its from:
tier endangered. II.
