ARRANGE FOR
AN ARM|ST|CE
Russia's Only Hope of Res
pite is Placed in
Roosevelt
TRIUMPH FOR The PRESIDENT
Delay in Action May Mean Terrific
Battle in East-Little Objection BY
Either Side to August | as Date
for Beginning Negotiations.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-The only
hope for an armistice pending the
meeting of the peace pienipotentia-
res seems to rest with President
Roosevelt and even that is considered
slender. SO far as known the presi-
dent has not taken a positive step
in this direction. The impression
here continues strong that Japan on
ly with great reluctance could be in
duced to forego the advantages of
her strategic position which, despite
the tone of the official advantages
from the front, is regarded as being
altogether favorable to Field Marshal
Oyama. and agree to suspension OF
hOstiltes for at least six weeks dur
ing which thousands of reinforce
ments would reach General Linevitch
and Vladivostok would be strength
| ened with munitions and supplies to
| withstand a siege. Indeed, it is sug-
gested that Japan planned to post
pone the meeting long enough to give
Oyama a chance to administer to the
Russians a fresh defeat on land in
order to rob the war party in Russia
of their last card and facilitate ac-
quiescence to her terms. Consider
ing the situation, therefore, President
Roosevet's triumph will be all the
greater if he could now succeed in
browning his work by an agreement
which would at least prevent another
bloody battle pending the show Of
hands at Washington.
At the British embassy the AssO-
ciated Press was Informed that Great
Britain had not offered Japan any
advice on the subject
Brgadier General Barry and his
colleagues in view of the prospects
of general engagement are hasten
ing their round of official visits in
order to get to the front SO that they
may see some of the fighting. They
have already called on several of the
ministers. Tomorrow the American
officers will be received in audience
by the emperor at st. Petersburg.
Russia finds no objection to August
I, as suggested by Japan, for the
date of the meeting of the rlenipo-
tentiaries. and instructions will be
sent to Ambassador Cassini to ac-
cept it.
