The Japanese Side Stated.

"Tho we desire peace, ,-he said, 1--WE
are prepared to continue the war. A
patched-up compromise, with ill-deter-
mined terms of peace we cannot consent
continued preparation against a war of
revenge. which Russians here, even re-
sponsible Russians, so freely give ut
terance to, we must provide against.
An armed peace of that kind would tax
our resources during the years to come
following this war, when our energies
must be directed to the development OF
our own industries and the expansinn
Of our peaceful commerce.
"Our government, in drafting the
terms of peace, brushed aside the pro-
posals which the Japanese people them
selves considered essential. We re-
duced our terms to the smallest possi-
BILE, the most reasonable and the most
obvious. Our government would fall
if these terms, except in nonessential
matters Of detail were abated.
will never be accepted by the Russian
people. At The, same time he protests
that Russia is not defeated, that the
war has been only a colonial war on the
confines of the empire, and that the.
bulk Of the people are ignorant Of the
war.
cit is not so with the japanese peo-
pie: They must be considered and
their wishes needed. They have a
voice ard a right to be heard. The
Russian people have no voice in R1.s-
STA. They are not consulted. They
are kept in ignorance both of the real
object and the real issue of the war.
Their wishes, their hopes and their as
pira lions count for nothing with the
Russian government. We have no fear
of the future if the war is to continue
and we will fight on without fear. but
if there is to be peace it must be
peace that, in the eyes of the Japanese
people, is peace with honor
Such is the view held I believe, by
the leaders of Japanese thought and the
will it be cherished in Japan.

Russia's Worst Yet to Come.

The peace conference has been sum-
moned at that stage in the war when
the military dispositions are favorable
to Japan. Can anyone who has fol-
lowed the continuance Of the war and
the ceaseless series Of defeats sustained
by Russia, doubt that if the war con-
tinuese she will lose Hardin, see her
forces driven from Kirin province, the
railway cut at Ninguta fortress and
Vladivostok isolated9 Can anyone sup
pose that the peace terms then will be
as reasonable and moderate as those
now demanded? 49,.

case, SO let us hear the other side. I

Frank Barley and s. A. Finger.
They found the smoke 80 dense that
it WAS almost out of the question to
find their way around. Had 1T gone

have been fire as the wood was be-
coming charred. That it was started
by some one who knows something
of electricity there is no mistake.
Even had the switch been left on it
could not start, the motor being of a
make that requires several strong
pulls on the belt to start. This was
stated and proved both by Mr.. Moor
