NEWSPAPERS
CHANGE OVER
Russian Organs Are Now IN
Favor Of Accepting Peace
Proposals.
A SMALL INDEMNITY
The War Should Be Continued Rather
Than That the Country Paya
Large Sum.

St Petersburg, June S.-There Is
significant change in the tone on the
part of some of the Russian newspa'
pers. like the Novre Vremya, which
have never heretofore even admitted
possibility of a conclusion OF hosuli-
ties until Russia had recovered her
military prestige by victory. Today
the papers discuss calmly the advisa-
bility of ending the war If Japans
terms are reasonable. The payment or
big indemnity they declare to be too
humiliating. The NOVoe Nremya says
bhntly that if Japan asks too much
it will pay Russia to prolong the con-
fest Indefinitely, while the Russ argues
that if the representatives of the Rus
sian people are called together Japan
will see herself confronted by the
whole nation and she will readily
agree to reasonable terms. Even the
revolutionists among the Russians are
not traitors" They are fighting the
present rotten bureaucracy and not
the mother country. They would not
tolerate disgraceful peace. unlver-
sal regret is expressed in official cir
cles at the retirement of M. DelCasse'
until recently French minister OF for
eign affairs. He is regarded as
true friend of Russia, personal friend
of Foreign Minister Count Lamsdorn
and sincere and unequivocal support
er of the dual alliance. The NoVoe
Vremya says, 1--WE know how TO ap-
preciate true friends. we have so rev
of them" The Russ and the Slovo
consider NJ. DelCasse to be the victim
in trying to play the impossible role OF
the connecting link between two IL
walls, Russia and Great Britain. The
Slovo says IN. DelCasse's policy was
ever directed towards the isolation OF
Germany, but he forgot that an alli-
ance with Great Britain would ruin
any political system aimed against
Germany. The British alliance mas
not helped France in Morocco but IL
imbroiled her with Germany. M. Del
Casse pays the penalty by retiring, as
complications can be easier avoided
with him out of the cabinet and his
retirement will not affect the dual al
lance"
