Attracts Widespread Attention and
Press Comment.

FFCSS NOtUfuCUls
Paris, July 20.-The interview of the
Associated Press with NJ. Witte on
Monday has attracted widespread at
tention and comment. The entire
French press gives 1t marked promi-
nence. The Gaulois, the Journal and
Temps set forth it's importance in dis
closing Russias attitude on the eve
of the peace conference. The Temps
says:
m. Whites appointment has been
everywhere heralded as victory for
the peace party and as showing that
Russia is so anxious to terminate the
war that the peace terms are certain
to be most onerous. Japanese also
welcomed M. Whites appointment as
evidence that Russia is anxious for
peace"
The Temps adds that these impress
sions afforded M. Witte an opportunity
to clear up his position, showing that
while always favorable to peace he is
conscious of the danger of prolonged
war if japan insists upon onerous con-
ditions.

Godzyadani, Manchuria, July 20.-h
conversation with a correspondent Of
the Associated Press regarding the
present military situation General
Battjanoff, commander of the Third
Mauchurian army, adopted most Op-
timistic tone. He declared the Japa-

account of the strengthening of tho
Russian positions and because they
have not fully recovered from their
losses at the battle Of Mukden. He
concluded.
Never during the whole war has
the Russian army been so strong IN
every respect as at present. The Japa-
