HARD WORK
OF PEACE
ENJOYS

Portsmouth. y H., Aug. l5.--That max
ing peace is a strenuous life is illustrated
by the daily program OF work OF the
peace envoys and their suites. Eight ses-
sions OF the conference have been held
since the arrival OF the missions at Ports
mouth one week ago and all but one OF
these has been long as 10 hours. outside
the sessions everyone connected with the
work has continuous and taxing occu-
patton with but few hours for rest and
practically none for recreation.
The ENJOYS have breakfast before 8
o'clock; they are i'm the navy yard before
10, and with the exception OF a brief space
for luncheon served in the conference
building, they stay in session until late
in the evening. After this a hurried din
ner is served at the hotel and the work OF
the evening and night begins
Last night for example Mr. Witte and
Baron Rosen there was an outside duty
and one OF almost as much Importance as
peace between Russia and Japan-namely,
the consideration OF the question OF the
amelioration OF the condition OF the Jews
In Russia with a delegaton OF eminent
American Hebrews. During this time the
Japanese enlSSarleS were buSily engaged
in their quarters in bringing their records
10 date, in the preparation OF cablegrams
and In getting ready for the next confer
ence.
An idea OF the volume OF cables which
are daily sent 10 Europe and the far east
may be had from the statement that Sun
day one cable company handled SO 600
worth OF business including dispatches
from both the Russian and Jaanese peace
makers from it's headquarters here About
one-third OF this business was cash, while
the rest is kept on account
Both sides are very keen in the matter
OF their facilities for communication The
heavy tax on the local telephone wires
made II impossible for then 10 get quick
service between the hotel AL their con-
ference rooms In the navy yard and com
plant was made, with the result that Sec
retary Peirce took the matter up and has
just completed the installation OF the di-
rect telephone systems between these two
points. one for the Russians and one for
the japanese.
The exclusive use OF the navy yard. so
far as civilians are concerned. is still
possessed absolutely by the members OF
the peace mission. Yesterday. in addi-
tion 10 the regular guard OF marines
which from the first were placed over the
naval stores building. detail OF secret
service men were added These sur
rounded the building and kept constant
watch throughout the session.
