RMETIcE TO TAKE EFFECT
WHEN TREATY IS SIGNED
Delay In cession Of HostilItIes Due to
Refusal Of Japan to Consent to
an Earlier Time.

Portsmouth.-An armistice has
been signed, to take effect after the
signature of the treaty. The delay in
the cessation of hostilities was due to
the refusal of Japan to consent to an
earlier time.
The effect of the armistice conclud-
ed Friday is that it becomes operative
only upon the signature Of the treaty
by the plenipotentiaries, and con-
tinues until the final exchange of rat
ification of the emperors of the two
countries. It is for this reason that
the plenipotentiaries, who will them.
selves convey to their respective cap
tals the momentous documents
which, to become binding. must re-
ceive the signatures of their respec-
tive emperors, are anxious to leave at
the earliest possible date, foregoing
the innumerable invitations which
have been showered upon them.

Berlin.-The spread of cholera,
from two localities on the river
Weichsel five days ago, to thirty-four
cases in twelve localities extending
from the Baltic to the river Wharf.-The
$50 miles south, and its appearance in
Hamburg, has given an unpleasant
thrill to the people of Germany, for it
may mean long and steady fight, as
in 1928, to prevent the disease from
getting beyond control n these
years 1t is estimated that 100000 per.
sons died in Russia from cholera The
Russian government is keenly, aware
of the possibilities of the danger,
which, SO far, is not regarded as Civ.
Ing ground for any apprehension. A
committee of the cabinet, consisting
of DR.. Studt, minister of medical at.
fairs; Herr Won Sudde, minister OF
state and minister of public works;
Herr Moller, minister of commerce
and industry, and Won Bethmann-Hol-

POSSIBILITY OF A HITCH.
Misunderstanding Over Question o
Naturalization of Sakhalin.

misunderstanding Over Question Of
Naturalization of Sakhalin.
Portsmouth, N H.-The only posi-,
BILE hitch on the horizon of the peace
conference, according to reports cur
rent here, which, however, are not Of
ficially confirmed, arises out of an evil
dent Misunderstanding over the ques-
ton of the naturalization of the island
of Sakhalin. According to the jap
anese, the understanding reached on
Tuesday contemplates mutual obli-
cation on the part of the two coun-
tries not to fortify their respective
possessions on the island. At st,
Petersburg, however, there seems to
nave been an assumption that the
agreement involved freedom of action
upon the part of Russia in this re,
spect in the north of Sakhalin, with
an obligation on the part of Japan
not to fortify or use for strategic pur-
poses the portion owned by her before
1876, which is to be retroceded in the
present treaty.
It is believed on both sides, how
ever, that the hitch, if it. really exists
as reported, will shortly be straight
ened out, and it Is believed one of
the subjects of Fridays conference
related to this point.
