M. WlTTE. In the interview published

serts that the tide OF Russian reversee

that In the negotiations at Portsmouth

the future We are at loss to con-
ceive what proofs Of turning OF the

fesses himself able to discern. Not q

ported on the part OF the army under

Does Russia Mean Business?

At the time Of the interview between
NICHOLAS III. and WILLIAM II. on the
latter's yacht, We suggested that the
purport of the advice rendered by tho
German Emperor would be quickly dis
closed by the acts or words Of the Car
or his representatives. We also ex-
pressed the opinion that II the counsel
given was tinctured by the personal
interests of the counsellor It would
aim to persuade Russia to insist upon
remaining a Pacific Power, and thus
divert her from seeking access to the
Persian Gulf. Since his return from
the interview, the Car has taken oc-
casion to indicate the kind of peace that
he will sign, and M. W1TTE, who had
ample opportunity Of learning the latest
revised intentions Of his vacillating
master, has informed by wireless teleg-
raphy a London newspaper that he
goes to Portsmouth with no sanguine
expectations OF success in his mission.
According to despatch from st.
Petersburg which we printed on July

LEGATION Of the reply made by the Car
to q petition just received from the
clergy OF district in the Orenburg
Government. To the prayer that dis
honorable terms Of peace might not be
accepted, the sovereien's response was:
THE Russian people may rely upon
me. Never will conclude shameful
peace or one unworthy Of great Russia.
The following questions at once arise:
What kind Of terms would be shame
full under the circumstances? What
would be unworthy" Of q country whose
military and naval greatness" II tested
by the events of the last eighteen months,
is by no means awe inspiring?
Would it be possible for the acceptance
OF any terms that Japan Is likely to
propose, to discredit Russia moro than
she lie already discredited by the conduct
for which the Gar himself, his kinsmen
and his Ministers were responsible, and
which provoked the present contest2
A frank recognition Of accomplished
facts and a meek submission to tho con-
sequences Of folly would disgrace Rus
sia and her sovereign less than they arc
already disgraced by the duplicity and
perhdy which evaded a written promise
to evacuate Manchuria; by the greed
which encouraged palace favorites to
ravage the timber forests Of Corea;
or by TIE arrogance and insolence with
which the respectful protests OF Japan
were repealed. The talk about shame
strikes one as belated on the lips. OF
NICHOLAS II. He should have thought
about the honor Of his people and his
dynasty before he drove the Japanese

The pledge to make no peace unworthy

but proves on inspection to be as hollow

it the pretended greatness Of Rus

Does Not This Look Very Much Like
Bigotry?


II would be remarkable. II there can
be anything remarkable In the mani
festations OF human inconsistency, that
jews who are crying out against social
determinations against their race by
Christians are now finding fault with
certain Jews because they accepted
invitations to q recent wedding Of q
Jewess to . Christian.
Tho He6rev STANDARD, under the head
ing Tho Climax-Apostasy,' prints q
letter from an East Side Jew who refers
bitterly to the fact that, according
to press dispatches, DR.. BLAusTEIN,
superintendent Of tho Educational ALL
anoe, Jewish institution, and the Rev.
L. B. NICHOLSON, in charge Of anti
missionary schools. were present at
the wedding Another correspondent
calls on Jews. "for the future welfare
OF our race, mot to forget the names
Of the prominent men OF the Ghetto
who attended this most unusual func-
tion." That is, he would have Jews put
a stigma on them.
Another ground Of bitter complaint
by correspondents Of that paper IL that
Jewish children are included in parties
taken by humane Christians to get q
few weeks OF country air In seaside
and mountain homes. Moreover, Mr..
ALBERT LUCAS, secretary Of the Union
of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, at
tscks with some violence the Settle
nents' on the East Side and in Brooklyn
because they are Of Christian foundation.
For example, he quotes from the report
Of young women's settlement In
Brooklyn this paragraph as a fragrant
example Of AN appeal to the anti-Jewish
sentiment so rampant among illiberal
Christians
one Jewish mother said. when the children

investigate because their boys have void Of the
club. Mothers have come saytns. She told me
such tales about this house I had Is como to sec
for myself"
What Is there so hagitious in that?
We infer from the letter Of Mr.. LUCAS that
it - merely that this club has for it's
announced aim TO make larger, truer
life possible for our people and to have
every club and class carried on in the
love Of CHRIST
In this country OF religious freedom
shall anybody Do debarred from incul-
eating the precepts Of religion and from
practising its charity?
In the Ghetto there is much poverty,
and the opportunity there for the relief
OF suffering and for sending ray Of
sunshins into the lives Of children cooped
up in dingy tenements would seem to be
large enough for good men and women,
both Jewish and Christian.
There seems to be room for Christian
efforts Of the sort due to Jewish neglect.
A Jew writes to the HebYev STANDARD
that he has long -agitated for the estab-
lishment Of Jewish settlements az a
counter influence to the Christian mis-
sions, but with little or no result. "Over
