What Did the Work?

Was it superior marks ksmanship and pro-
ficiency In handling guns that did the
work? Was it swarm Of torpedo boats:
Was 1t submarine mines or boats? What
were the facts? To these questions are
added others of whether the Japanese will
reveal the facts themselves or whether
they will lei the world continue its guess
ing match. The Japanese policy Of se-
crecy has been so pronounced as to at
tract attention. and the sailors and SOL
diers of that country are not telling any
thing as to their means or methods of
warfare They are willing that the remain
der of the world shall get mysterious
iGeas as to the real facts, believing that
the impression will be excellent in its
future effect.
But the other parts of the world es-
pecially the United States. nave no
thought OF going On in a blind way with
out knowing all that is new to know and
keeping up with the procession. The Pres

not attempting 10 guess at what hap

Ia that a pow erfu navy was wiped off

EMPIRE HAS RESOURCES TO
CONTINUE WAR FOR YEARS
Mr.. Takahira States That If Russia
Desires Peace 1t VIII Be an Easy
Matter to Get Japan's
Terms.

Washington. May Sl.-while the Pres
ident has discussed informally the sub
ject Of peace negotiations with members
of his cabinet and with some representa-
tves of foreign governments at this capl-
tai and in the near future probably will
take up the matter with Others 1t can
be said authoritativeiy that no definite
steps looking toward peace yet haye been
taken by this government. That such
steps may be taken is regarded as quite
likely, but whatever action may be taken
will depend on information not yet in
hand.
That concerted effort on the part OF
the several important powers including the
United states to bring about cessation
of hostilities in the far east may be made
very soon is reasonably certain. Tne
result of such am effort is quite another
matter. 1t is regarded as too soon yet
after the great naval battle for Russia
to determine upon a definite course of
action. At least until the st. Petersburg
government shall have indicated what its
desires may be the probabilities are re-
garded as favorable only to an informal
discussion of peace.
Speaks Very Discouragingly.
Count Cassin the Russian ambassador,
expects to see the President some time
tomorrow for a general talk, but he de-
MED tonight that he would carry any
message from his government and spoke
discouragingly Of the prospects of peace.
Had the Dattle in the Korean straits
been fairly even" he said. peace at this
time might be looked for. But why should
Russia seek peace now il she cannot
obtain reasonable terms? We have a large
army in the field which IL constantly being
increased. Russia Is not threatened with
"a Japanese invasion. Her resources have
not been at all exhausted by the war.
Without navy she is naturally handi-
capped, but that only means that IL viii
take us the longer TO defeat the Japanese
on land. The idea that Russia will be
forced to seek peace at this time or sur.
render 20 Japan is ridiculous With the
resources. at her command Russia can
continue the war for years. | do not say
that this Will be the final decision of the
government, but my firm personal opin-
ion Is that in this moment Russia can
not think Of suggesting peace to her ad-
versary"
