Paris, May %. The apparently
complete disappearance of the Rus
sian far eastern fleets leads to the be-
lief either that battle is imminent
or that Admiral Rojestvensky has sue
ceeded in establishing a naval base.
On the other hand it is pointed out
here that the position of the fleet May
16 in latitude 1880 and longitude
111.30 indicated that it might have
been decided to follow course north
of Luzon into the Pacific instead of
going through the straits of Formosa,
where Admiral Togo is believed to be
awaiting Admiral Rojestvensky. 1t is
maintained that the Japanese diff
culties have been increased by their
inability to determine whether the
Russians are proceeding unitedly or
have divided their feet into two
squadrons. Some experts maintain
that the fleet has been divided for the
purpose of permitting one division
TO reach Vladivostok while the 9th
err occupies the attention of Admiral
Togo. Naval circles here are dis
posed to criticise the Japanese tao
tics in failing to harass Rojestven-
sky's transports during the lengthy
period of taking on supplies. The re-
