Not a Pronounced Victory For Russia
or Great Britain.
Paris. Feb. 24-The international
commission appointed to inquire into
the North Sea Incident practically
concluded its work by finally agreeing
to the report which will be publicly
announced at the closing session to
be held tomorrow Concerning the
general nature Of the report the fol-
lowing statement was made In a most
authoritative quarter TO the Associated
Press.
when the text of the decision be-
comes known II will be far more &C
ceptable to the British press and pub
lie than they have been led to believe.
The semi-official summaries appearing
while more or less accurate, tend toe
strongly to show Russian success. but
as a matter OF act the admirals have
sought a middle ground, and the de-
cision is not pronounced victory for
either side II is Of such character as
to preserve Russia's self-respect and
at the same time give the British pub
lie much ground for satisfaction. If
anything the decision is rather more
favorable t. Great Britain than to
Russia"
On the other hand the Hayas agency
confirms its semi-ofiicial statement 1t
says:
The conclusions as a whole are
quite favorable 10 Russia. recognizing
that Admiral Rojestvensky could le-
ultimately consider himself in danger
and act as he did. However. the re-
port contains reservations calculated
to satisfy British susceptibilities the
most important being that the COM
mission esteems that the Russian fire
lasted too long. and also that Rojest-
yensky should have speedily notified
the British maritime authorities OF the
deplorable incident
Upon the question of the presence
of torpedo boats. the commission frees
all navies from the imputatiOn.

fair will be favorable TO Russia will
be received with much quiet exultation

jestvensky. Naval officers always have
maintained that there was another
side to the question as 1t was present

believed Rojestvensky was amply JUS
titled in taking all precautions for the
safety Of his feet especially in view
Of warnings, the seriousness Of which
apparently was not realized elsewhere,

Of impartial experts would take the
same view. Hence the report Is ac-
tepted without surprise, though It has
