tentiares shall meet at Washington 1t
will be during the first ten days of Au-

A Stumbling Block.
The question of precedence evidently is
the main stumbling block to Il prompt
settlement of the number of personal ne
gotiators. Both sides seem DESTROYS to
make the other take the initial move.
Russia seems To consider that it was
Japan's duty TO name her plenpotenti-
aries before Russia announces hers.
While the exact number of the nleni-
potentiarcS has not been officially ar
lilly agreed on three. The actual an
nouncement of the names of the penipo-
tcutiaries is expected within n few days.
All Is Favorable.
The official statement of the situation
is: ".\ll is going on favOrahly.'
The question of a possible armistce,
as stated last week, remains in abey-
ance for the moment, Japan it is under
stood, declining even to take the matter
up until the differences involved in the
Washington meeting are definitely set
tied
The rainy season may force a suspen-
sion Of military operations before diplo-
macy can act.
