WAR STATUS LAST WEEK.
No Military or Naval Operations in
Far East.

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by so
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure.
The week closed with an expression
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipOtentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari-
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur-
ed by the calling of the conference.
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
of her cause, and with the intimation
that peace would be agreeable to her,
the first essential step toward getting
it has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor-
tant preliminaries has been that of
President Roosevelt. 1T is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening of negotiations that might
bring to a close the bloody conflict
now more than a year old. He has
done it with dignity and felicitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the adj
mirable manner in which he has la
bored for peace.
