Offices of the United states and
France, the question Of peace had as
sumed practical shape
WASHINGTON Diligent inquiry

airy negotiations for peace between
Russia and Japan, but inasmuch as

head of one Of the diplomatic estab-

eminent on the subject for several
days and had heard nothing to con

pected matters to reach that stage as
yet.
LONDON-A telegram from north
ern European capital received in Lon
don this afternoon says:
81 have Just learned on reliable au-
thority that Russia has asked Del
casse to act as intermediary and open
peace negotiations with Japan.
"Delcasse has sgnitied his willing
ness, but considers that Lansdowne's
cooperation is essential to success"

mence it will be between Russia and
Japan direct and not through any in

comment to the Associated Press last

a northern European capital stating
that M. Delcasse, the French foreign
minister. had been asked to act rs an
intermediary to open peace negotia-

WANT NEGOTIATIONS DIRECT.
Washington Opposed to an lnterna
tiona Conference.

WASHINGTON-Neither Russia or
Japan have asked President Rcose-
welt to assist them in ending the war.
So far as the Washington government
is aware, Emperor Nicholas has not
weakened in his announced decision,
"to prosecute the war to the bitter
end"
The genuine wish OF this govern
ment for peace in the far east is not
based upon selfish interests. American
inanciers have not overloaded them
selves with bonds of either of the belli-
gerent nations. Washington believes
that it is to the advantage of both
belligerents that the far eastern war
come to a speedy end, and anything
that this government can do to bring
that about will be done gladly. From
the outset of the war the president
has taken the position, as has been
repeatedly announced by Secretary
Hay, that he will do anything in his
power to assist Russia and Japan to
peace basis which his services shall
be acceptable to the belligerents. But
1t is authoritatively stated that no Off
cial of the Washington government is
ambitious to pose as the mediator be
tween the car and mikado.
It is the feeling here that Russia
and Japan should negotiate directly
and avoid an international conference
This opinion also prevails in Berlin.

GOOD NEWS FOR PosTMAsTERs.

Postmaster General Cortelyou

crate toward all presidential post
masters in the state. This new policy
is likely to create a great deal of
dissatisfaction among the Nebraska

A CLASH OF ARMS
ANOTHER DUEL BETWEEN THE
ARMIES LOOKED FOR.
THE CONFLICT NEAR AT HAND
Russians Are Fortfying sipinghai and
the Japanese Are Gathering in Force
to Attack. - Washington Appears
Hopeful of Peace Negotiations.

ST. PETERSBURG duel
between the opposing armies in Nam
churia may be on the program for the
coming week. The Russians, according
to the Associated Press Hardin cor
respondent, are now strongly foltify-
ing their positions at Sipinghai against
which Japanese are reported to be
gathering in force. The story OF the
Russian retirement from Sipinghat to-
.ChaoumiaodM was incorrect, due TO a
telegraphic error in the confusion OK
similar Chinese names Chaoumiaodzi
with Shuamuyaotsz, south of Siping-
hal, whence the Russian advance force
retired to the fortified line at Siplng"
hal. The Japanese followed to some
extent, but a border of twenty miles
of debatable ground still remains be-
tween the two armies, over which the
Japanese probably will not advance
until they are ready to attack.
Equally important news is that
column of Japanese is moving against
Kirin, perhaps with the intention of
turning the position eastward ana
striking at the Vladivostok line of
communication with the double pur-
pose of isolating the fortress and sep
$arating General Linevitch's army

thority that Count Lamsdorff the
Russian minister of foreign affairs,
has within a week admitted that he
had general way outlined to NJ. Del
casse the general terms along which
Russia might consent to consider
peace.
Advices from Europe tell of the fear
prevalent there in certain quarters
that the activities of Lamsdorff anG

| ternational conference, to be held in
some neutral European capital, such
as Stockholm, where peace negotia-

! blocked by the refusal of Japan to-
give any indication as to the peace
terms she would accept until positive
ly assured in the name of the car him
self that Russia is prepared to nego-
tiate in good faith for peace. Not only
does Japan insist upon this assur-
ance, but she prefers to negotiate di-
rectly with St. Petersburg.
With the United States, Germany
and Japan opposed to an internation-
al conference to end the war, the be-
lief is strong in Washington that sue
cessfu peace negotiations will date
from the day st. Petersburg communi-

SINCE WAR BEGAN.
Russians Have Lost Half Million Men
Thus Ear.

Thus Far.
ST. PETERSBURG-Stung by the
Wholesale criticism lately heaped up.
on the war Office for its unprepared.
ness and incopacity in providing the
Mauchurian army with men, guns and
what has been done since the open
ing of hostilitics giving the exact fig
ures. From these it. appears that up
TO March ~, the war office had dis
patched 13,0S7 officers, 7Gl,467 men,
14G,4OS horses, 1921 guns and 316,32l
tons of munitions and supplies to the
front declaring the transportation
strained the Siberian railroad to its
utmost capacity.
The army organ admits that the
army in the far east, when the war
opened was hardly worth the name
(no figures being given, but 1t is
known that the troops did not exceed
10000 mem defending this on the
ground that Emperor Nicholas desired
to avoid war and therefore refrained
from sending renforcements which
surely with have provoked it.
The criticism OF the war Offices
failure to adequately supply Port Ar
thur is met by the statement that 1t
was provsioned for a garrison OF
twelve battalions, the decision to put
thirty battalions there being taken so
late that the original calculations
could not be remedied.
While affirming that the quick-fr-
ing guns and field guns of the Rus
SLAMS are superior to those Of the Jap.
anese, the war Office explains that the
misfortune in the insufTiciency of the
mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting a new pattern.
1t is denied that the war office was
deceived in regard to the available
strength OF the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves,
but the army organ frankly admits
that the talents of the officers and the
wonderful spirit of the soldiers were
miscalculated
The publication of this article has
created a sensation among military
men and in public circles many of the
| former are censuring the general STAFF
| for disclosing valuable military Sc
crets and the latter finding from the
! figures a practical admission that the
war has cost almost 100000 men in
killed, wounded, prisoners and sick,
as the whole effective force in the far
east is now believed not to exceed
100000 men
General Linevitch continues the re-
tirement of the bulk of his army
northward
The general staff now declares II
is certain that Field Marshal Oyama
has been compelled to relinquish the
idea of pursuit in force for the pres
ent. The Japanese forces on the Rus
sian TANKS are too light to constitute
a serious danger and a lull in heavy
fighting for several weeks If not
months is predicted by some of the
correspondents.
