he will be able to inform them that
Japan will welcome peace on reasonable
terms, and will promptly name her con,
ditions, provided she receives Trustworthy
assurances that they will be seriously

This the Emperor has learned from
friendly chancellories in Europe, as wei
as the general terms acceptable to Japan
These, it is said, include the retention
by Japan of Port Arthur, a japanese

nifty.
A high official states that Russia has
recalled her second Pacific squadron.
An attache of Russian embassy i'll
Europe is quoted as expressing the be
lief that kuropatkin's recent defeat will
force Russia to ask for peace.
Briefly, these were the reports cur
rent in the diplomatic corps Monday, and
as result OF this important informa-
ton official Washington believes that
Russia and Japan are on the verge OF
peace. If it be true that the second Pa
ctic squadron has been recalled, even
the most optimistic of Russia's friends
admit that this is 4 strong indication
that Oyama'S mighty blow has made for
peace.
Count CaSSina, the Russian ambassa-
dor, is the notable exception in the group
of foreign cnvoys here.

THE cOUNTERSlCN.

The guarded Camps of Nod are spread
With snowy tents in stretching line.
"Halt! Who goes there?" the challenge
rings,
advance and give the countersign!"
And would he pass the sentry's cry.
The friend must answer, Lullaby"
When sinks the sun beneath the west,
The Camps of Nod to fill begin;
All through the night, by twos and threes,
Small, rosy soldiers stragge in,
And each one gives, with blinking eye,
The countersgn of Lullaby"
All, when inexorable years
Are heaped on us like drifted snow,
Within the popped Camps of Nod
We weary grownups fain would go;
But can't remember-vain to try
The countersign is ''Lullaby."
