Has Three Conferences on
War in Far East.
Japanese Minister Cannot Tell
What Demands viii Be.
Europe Regards Pres. Roosevelt as the Best
Medium 10 Secure Peace.

Washington, June J.-Pcacc in the
Far East was the subject of another
conference at the White House, to-
night, between the President and Mr..
Takahira, the Japanese minister. 1t
was the third conference of the day
which the President has had on the
subject, NJ. Jusserand, the French am
bassador and Mr.. O'Beirnc, the British
charge dc'affaircs, having been callers
at the White House, this morning.
MIR. Takahira called at the White
House shortly after o'clock, tonight.
Thus far, he has not been able to tell
the President except in the most gen
raj and unofficial way, what Japan is
likely to demand Of Russia when tn
latter can be brought to discuss peace.
Even the minister himself had no idea
what Japan's indemnify may amount
TO. The President was unable to give
Mr.. Takahira any intimatjon of how
Russia has viewed the humiliation of
her fleet, and until Count Cassini's re-
port of his visit to the White House
has been replied to from St. Petersburg
no further progress toward peace can
be made in that direction.
III Is realized by inc Wa SHllStOn gov
crnmcnt that the MiIsao mas fOrmG-
?blc war party in JaDan to cope with
and this is one of the reasons why it
is difficult for Toxic to give Washing
ton definite information about what
terms would be in The light of Admiral
TOSO's latest victory.
Regarding the general situation, it
can be announced that Eul ope regards
the President as the most valuable
medium for the preliminary commune
cations between St. Petersburg and
Toxic and Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador. and Mr.. Takahira are
both convinced of the Presidents sin
ccrity and fricndlincss to both belii-
gtrcnts in his conference regarding the
ending of the war.
Whatever may be the result of the
important conference. ,hc President
had with Count CasSini the exchanges
between Washington and the European
capitals are gradually bringing about
a thorough understanding among the
neutral powers which will enable them
to present Il united front when pcac1
negotiations do begin.

PEACE is FAR OFF.
London Diplomats Believe That Czar
Will Continue the War.

London. June 5.-Accounts of Prcsi-
dent Rooscvclt's interview with Mr..
| Takahira. the japanese minister a:
| WaShjnCtOn Count CaSSiTi Baron
Spcck Won Stcrnbcrg and other am
baSsadors, which are alleged to hav"
been along the line of efforts to bring
mediation, are receiving much attcn-
| ton here, but in diplomatic circles It is
not believed that they will result in Sc
| curing peace. The belief is firm in all
quarters that Russia will continue the
war.
At the Russian embassy it is de-
cIarcd that the war will be continued,
and at the Japanese embassy it is said
there is no expectation of 9 peace offer
while the foreign office states that 1t
! does not know of any movement to-
wards peace.
AS far as can be asccrtaincd. the
| british government has made no at
tGmpt to bring ABOUT Intervention.
| though it is undoubtedly acquainted
with the terms Japan will accept and
| is in a position to take up negotiations
with France Russias ally, Immediate
". it is understood that such a move
mcnt will not meet with Il rebuff.
Among the many advocates of peace
| in this country. probably the most ac-
tive is Sir Thomas Barclay, vino was
largely instrumental in bringing about
the Anglo-F'rench entente. Sir Thorn
as. who led a powerful effort for me-
diation between the combatantS few
months ago. said to The Associated
Press, today:
Three months ago the japanese
would have agreed 20 these peace
teams:
"F'irst-The evacuation of Marchuria
by the Russians and its return to the
control of China, under Japanese SUI
pelvision.
"Secord-A japanese protectorate in
COrea.
"Third-The surrender of the lease
of Port Arthur, and also the surrender
Of the Manchurian railway to internal
| tional control and the dismantlng of
the Notifications of VladivOstok.
"Since the naval battle. however l
believe Japan has increased her de-
mand to include territorial indemnity,
comprising Vladivostok and probably
the island Of Sakhalin. Russia will
never pay money indemnity, nor will
she sue for peace until she becomes
bankrupt. So long as she possesses
funds she will spend them on arma-
ments."
