President Roosevelt today the announce
nent was made that on Thursday next
Baron Rosen, the new Russian ambas
sador to the United States, would visit
Sagamore Hill to present his credentials
fms Is an unusual departure from
diplomatic usage. The custom is for a
new ambassador to await the return of
the President to Washington and pre-
sent his credentials
The peace situation is regarded as too
delicate, however. for Baron Rosen TO
lose any time, and as he viii also act as
peace pleniporentiary, it is his desire TO
De on the ground early, SO TO speak, and
obtain the views of the President on all
