II Japan Demands Too Much II
Mould he Better TO Pro-
long War Indefinitely.

81 Petersburg. June s.--Thers is q
significant change In tone on the part
OF some Russian newspapers. like the
NOvoe vremya. which never hereto
fore has even admitted the possibility
Of conclusion Of hostilities until Rus
STA has recovered her military prestige
by a Victory. Thursday the papers
discuss calmly the advisability OF end
Ing the war II Japan's terms are rea-
sonablc. The payment OF a big In
demnity. they declare. would be too
humiliating.
The Novoe Vremya says bluntly that
II Japan asks too much n will pay
Russia TO prolong the contest indefi-
nitely. while the Russ argues that n
representatives Of the Russian people
are called together Japan will see her
self confronted by the whole nation
and she will readily agree 10 reasona-
BILE terms. Even RevolutiOnists," the
Russ adds. ''are not traitors They are
fighting at present the rotten bureau
craey and not the mother country.
They vii not tolerate a dIsgraeeful
peace"
Universal regret Is expressed In offi-
cial circles az the retirement Of Del
Case. until recently French minister
Of foreign affairs. He Il regarded as
the true friend Of Russo. personal
friend Of Foreign Minister Count
Lamsdorf and a sincere and unequiv-
ocnl supporter of the dual alliance.
The Novoe Vremya says: we know
how 10 appreciate true friends We
have 20 few OF them" The Russ and
Slovo consider M. DelCasse 10 be the
victim Of trying 20 play the impossible
role OF the connecting link between two
rivals Russia and Great Britain.
The Slovo says: M. DelCasse's pol
Icy was ever directed toward the iso-
lati0n % Germany. but he forgot an
alliance with Great Britain would
ruin any political system aimed against
Germany. The British alliance has not
helped France IN Morocco. but II has
probably embrolled her with Germany.
81. DelCasse pays the penalty by re-
firing as complications can be easier
avoided with him out % the cabinet.
and his retirement would not affect
