THE MANCHURIAN SITUATION.

The opinion appears to prevail that important
military operations are in progress in Man
churia, perhaps involving another general bat
tie of vast magnitude and destructiveness. Moth
ing has yet occurred of course, to prevent such
a battle, the question Of armistice being de-
ferred until the actual meeting Of Japanese and
Russian plenipotentiaries. Pending such meet
ing and agreement upon an armistce, neither of
the belIigerent armies be expected to re-
linquish advantages already gained or to neg
lect an opportunity of further advantage. If
Marshal Oyama has, therefore, encircled the
Russian army and prepared to strike another
crushing blow, he may be expected to proceed
with his plans just as though there had been
no talk of peace.
Despite the secrecy with which the Japanese
envelop their operations, especially just in ad-
vance of an important action. it has become
pretty well known that their present plans con-
template a more extensive and probably more
decisive movement than any before. In addi-
ton to the three large armies which have
marched up from the Regents Sword by way
of Liao-Yang and Moukden, a fourth army has
now reached the front 1t has come up from
the east coast of Corea, probably from Gensan,
by way Of the Tumen Valley. Thus the jap
anese lines have been extended from the Mon
goIian frontier clear across to the seaccast
south of Vladivostok The successful advance
of such an army would envelop Kirin from the
east as well as from the south and west, and
would cut probably at Ninguta or Shang-Shih,
the railroad between Harbin and Vladivostok
and isolate the latter city. Such blow, COM
pletely delivered, would be more disastrous to
Russia than Liao-Yang and Moukden combined
The possible effect of another great battle
the peace negotiations may be pretty confidently
forecast If the Russians should win there
would scarcely be abandonment or even delay
of the negotiations, but there would probably
be a stronger insistence by Russia upon favor
able terms In the more probable event of
Japanese victory, the necessity Of prompt peace
making would be all the more evident to Rus
sia, and there would be less disposition, or at
any rate less ability TO stand out for easy
terms That the result of the battle would
mean the abandonment of negotiations and the
indefinite continuance of the war is beyond the
bounds of reasonable expectation.

toast his majesty expressed the pleasure 1t gave
him TO pass few happy hours with the mem

of Hamburg, to the sport of sailing and to the
members of the society and their guests, some
of whom had competed in the ocean race This
ocean race. said the Emperor, again proved the

CONCERTS A LAST RESORT.

Current talk about concerts and conferences
of the powers Is doubtless well meant, but we
have reason to think it is Jud1cious. On the
contrary it is on the face Of 1t undesirable, and
to be vindicated only through demonstration OF
its necessity as a last resort
When two nations have a falling out the hrst
and most desirable thing is an adjustment OIL
their differences without any Intervention from
outside Failing that, the next thing Is for some
one neutral power to use its good offices 1or
bringing them together TO settle affairs by dl-
rect negotiations between themselves That is
what America is now so successfully doing for
Russia and Japan. If the procedure should fall,
the next plan would be for neutral power to
act as arbitrator between them. Not until
that too, has been found impracticable is, In
the fourth place, concert or conference OF
the powers to be invoked
This last resort does not always prove salts
factory When taken, as 1t sometimes is, out
of its due order it is likely to prove unsatisfac-
tory, at least as compared with direct action by
single power. Austria-Hungary's single
handed acton in Bosnia and Herzegovina
has been almost infinitely better than that of
the concert Of the powers elsewhere in the
Balkan, In Armenia and in Crete In Egypt
Great Britain alone did far better than any
dual or manifold combination of powers would
probably have done. The United States wisely
declined in 1898 to admit any conference of
powers between itself and Spain. Russia and
Japan are acting wisely in deciding to seek
peace through direct negotiations, without any
concerted counsel or control
There may, of course be times when a con-
ference and concert must be sought. But all
other reputable methods of settlement should be
tried first.

That spontaneous generation" story which
'sThe London Chronicle prints. and which mas

taken with large grain of salt A variety OF
tests made in the last few years lead to the
belief that radum exerts a destructive influence
on animal tissue and life, and when 1t has any
effect at all on vegetation that effect is perni-
cious. Among the most significant experiments
on record are those Of M. Danysz, veteran
bacteriologist who is connected with the Pas-
teur Institute in Paris. He found that though
the action of radium microbes was not al
ways fatal it invariably checked their further
development. II less experienced investigator
at Cambridge University has apparently OBJ
tained different result. it is to be feared that
there is something wrong with his method. His
conclusions should be distrusted until confirmed
by an expert of undoubted standing.
