Alleged Views of President Roose-
Welt

A cablegram from Paris last night says:
The Petit Parisen will tomorrow print an
interview had by NJ. Legardere. its CORE

Mr. Roosevelt Is represented to have said
that the Russo-Japanese war was useless
and unhappy one. 1t arose from q misun-
Outstanding for which a solution could
easily have been found.
The Japanese gained considerable advan-
tlge in the struggle obtaining all they
wanted except an indemnity. while they had

patriotism and self-sacrifce, "characterfs-
tics" he added. which may we'll surprise
western nations. who have lost some OF
the virtues OF our ancestors
According to the correspondent, Mr.
Roosevelt foresaw the japanese marching
freely along the path of civilization and ex-
panslon. and becoming dangerous CONNER
tal rivals of Great Britain. Germany and
the United States, developing a new al
though bloodless war. in which the Euro
pean and American nations will be pitted
against Japan.
The correspondent says Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
mitted that he advised the Japanese TO
forego their demand for an indemnity say
Ing: If you were at Moscow an indemnity
would be matter of course, but you are
not Surprising you conquer Siberia? 1t
Will cost you three or four hundred thou
sand men and millions OF dollars and be-
after all. a white elephant. You would far
better yield in the matter OF indemnity"
The correspondent asserts that Mr.. Roose-
Welt added that his persuasion may have oc-
casioned the Japanese to abandon their
claim. but the diplomatic victory was

II Japan had realized more quickly that
Russia would never pay.
He knew II. and repeated It many times
to the Japanese plenipotentiaries, but they
were obdurate, hoping that Wftte would
weaken. In conclusion. the President said:
For Russia we must wait. She Is passing

are in her favor"
