AT BERLIN EARLY TERMINATION
OF WAR rs PREDICTED.
Feeling of Uncertainty at st. Peters
burg Delays the Execution OF
Military Plans.

BERLIN. April 5.-Peace at an early date
is regarded as probable by the German en-
bassy at st. Petersburg, the Associated
Press is informed. and in consequence of
dispatches received from there by the gov
ernment during the last three days this
opinion circulates in official circles for the
first time since the war began
The Russian emperor. ii is true. has not
yet decided for peace, but the grand dukes
and all, or practically all. the members of
the court who have access to the emperor
are for peace. His maj ajesty is described in
the gossip that goes about here as standing
alone irresolutely.
The considerations that still delay his de-
cisions are personal ones. he feeling that
ais reign is a failure If Russia does not win
the war, and that his prestige as a sover-
eign will be lost at home and in foreign
countries. but he cannot yet bring himself
to speak the word that will set the peace
negotiations in motion. Much good will and
sympathy are felt for the Russian emperor
in higher official life here, but il is rega arded
as certainty here that he must yield to
his family and ministers. and that the
month will not end without peace
In the meantime, the prospect of peace
and tbs incertitude of the emperor weakens
the military administration and delays the
execution of plans for fresh armies and the

THE FIELD, April 4, via Fusan, April s.
The Japanese army has been making a
fruitless search for information as to the
fate of Count Scheptzizky, a captain in the
Austrian army, and the military attache of
that government with the Russian army in
Manchuria. Count ScheptZiZky has been
missing since the battle at Mukden. He is
rot among the prisoners or wounded in
japanese hands. 1t is possible. however, he
may have escaped into Chinese territory. If
killed, he has probably been buried as a
Russian, among the dead of that army.
