THE FRENCH VIEW.
Demands Somewhat Hard-Thought
They Will Be Modified.

Paris, Aug. 11.-Thc japanese peace
conditions, exclusively communicated
by The Associated Press from Ports
mouth, produce = rather depressed
feeling i'll official quarters, the terms
being considered somewhat hard. IT
is, however, the prevailing view that
Japan'3 last word has not been spoken.
1t is pointed out that she has hitherto
displayed a fcrvent desire for the ccs-
sltion of this disastrous war and will
doubtless consent tC relax some of the
conditions laid down and thus pave the
way for Ri:ssia's acceptance Of them.
1t is not thought that the demand
for the reimbursement Of the war cX-
prrses will cause difficulties unless tht.
claims prove excessive and tie fact
that an "ihdcmnity" is not mentioned
Is regarded as Il good sign.
The points: on which a conflict Of
views is likely to al Use are considered
To b" the cession of siasil:tlin the cliir1
of fishing rights il the Siberian lit
toial. the giving W of til" intcrn"I
ships ana the Irritation Of tie Russian
naval forces iii the Far East. All these
affect Russian national s"lf-rcspcct
but it is thought that mutual conccs-
sionS will render eventual the arrange
ment of an easy settlement, especially
should the Russians accept the claim
for payment of the war expenses.
Should the difficulties become acute,

RuSSlA'S REPLY TO JAPANESE

asked what, according to Japanese
IDEAS. are considered most moderate
terms. A strong party i'm Japan favored
claiming not only Sakhalin, the Lao
Iuhg peninsula, a protectorate over
Corea and the evacuation of Manchu-
ria, but also the cession to Japan of the
territory around the mouth of the
Amur."
The question of the credentials has
been amicably adjusted upon the as
'surance of the japanese that the pow
efs granted Baron Komura were in the
regular form always employed by Jap
an. Nj. White will not pursue the matter
further. 1t is believed that his object
in presenting his note on the subject
was that it might so into the record of
the conference to show that the wide
iy published intimationS from Japanese
sources before the conference that the
powers granted him would not be full
and ample were ont only foundations
less, but that his powers were in fact
greater than those bestowed upon Ba-
ron kOmura.
One of the biggest features of the day
at the Wentworth hotel was the publi-
cation of the Japanese terms by The
Associated Press. Efforts were made to
discredit their authority but neither
the JAPANESE nor Russians would dis
cusn the subject and before nightfall,
all those interested became convinced
of their accuracy.
Both Mr.. Sato and Mr.. Korostovitz,
the Spokesman Of the respective sides,
declined 10 say anything officially about
the terms. which by mutual agreement
were to be kept secret but Mr.. Koro-
stovitz. in the name of M. White, did
not hesitate to confirm the accuracy Of
The Associated Press statement, this
afternoon, that the Russian reply was
completed and would be delivered, to-
morrow morning.
He even went to the extent of saying
that it would be an agreement on some
points, conditional agreement on some
and rejection of some of the terms.
He also took occasion to confirm the
statement that NJ. White had received
no instructions from the st. Petersburg
government in the nature of the reply
to be given. as his powers were ample.

THE GERMAN VIEW.
Demands Arc Extreme, But Discussion
Will Reach an agreement.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-the foreign office
without giving judgment on the Cquita-
blencSa of the japanese terms. as ex-
clusiNcly obtained and summarized by
The Associated Press believes that ne
Sotintions will continue until an agree
nlent is reached. The foreign Office. liz
convinced that the desire of both poW-
ers for peace is strong enough to lead
to mutual surrcnders.
The prevailing view in diplomatic cir
clcY is that the conditions are extreme;
that Russia cannot be expected to ac-
ccpt them. but that they are not an
impossible first demand and that ncgo-
t!ntiOns may begin on the basis of these
decl: r;ltiuHa, to be ultimately con-
cIudcd ON something quite different.
The publication Of the peace conditions
produced 10 apDrcciablc effect on the
Bocrsc. unless it WIS IN indisposition
10 trade in Russian securities until
something further is known.
Several Berlin newspapers have spc-
clal correspondents at Portsmouth. but
us appears from this evenings issues
their kilograms have been revised and
adjusted to the peace terms as cablcd
by The Associated Pres to its distrib-
utng European agencies.
Tho military view appears to DC that
japan to safeguard her future ana to
secure the legitimate results Of hcr
victories could no. ask less than she
has done. At the same time. il will be
exceedingly difficult for the Russian
F.mfcror's military advisers to assent
to the conditions. The military body. al
ways strong in Russia, will, it is ex-
pcctcd, make energetic protests. but
the answer Of the German military
critics is that the Russian military Of
iicials have through their failure lost
the right to protest.
