THE PEACE
CONFERENCE
Selection Of the Capital Of the United
States as the Place for the Com.
ing Meeting.
AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Representatives Of Japan and Russia
Not LikeIy.%o Assemble Until
August.

Washington, June 15.-America's
capital has been selected as the seat
of negotiations between plenipoten-
tiaries of Russia and Japan for a
treaty of peace. The choice of Wash
ington as the location of the peace
conference marks another forward
step in the negotiations toward ulti-
mate peace, instituted by President
Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the Sc
lection of Washington was made by
Secretary Loeb at the White house
at 1923 p. m. today. 1t was in type
written form, and read as follows:
When the two governments were
unable to agree upon either Che Foo
or Paris, the president suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting, and
the president has accordingly formal
~ notified both governments that
Washington will be selected"
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterward by semi-Official
announcement that after meeting and
organizing, the plenipotentiarles OF
the two governments, if it should be
found uncomfortably hot in Washing
ton, may adjourn the meeting to some
summer resort in the north and there
continue their sittings until such time
as the weather in Washington shall
be more comfortable
Now that some of the details of the
negotiations which have been pend
ing for more than two weeks are
known, the selection of Washington
is regarded as the only solution of the
problem presented to the belllseren'
governments. After the acceptance
by Russia and Japan OF President
Roosevelt's proposition, that they con
sent to consider the question OF peace
Russia indicated Paris as the most
desirable place for the meeting to ne
gotiate a treaty, and Japan indicated
Che Foo. There the subject rested FOL
4S hours. Finally Japan declined tt
consider Paris for obvious reasons
and Russia objected to the holding
Of the conference in any oriental city
Washington then was suggested as
place at which the belligerents cOul(
meet on common ground, undisturbet
by either political or personal inf1u
ences. AS means Of facilitating The
negotiations the president suggested
that the conference be held at The
Hague, the seat of the internationa
arbitration tribunal, and the location
of the first general arbitration con
ference called at the instance of En-
peror Nicholas of Russia. He indicat
ed that for both practical and sent
mental reasons The Hague would b'
