AN INTERVIEW
ABOUT PEACE
SECRETARY OF JAPANESE EN-.
BAssY AT LONDON SAYS
RUSSIA WILL GIVE IN.

LONDON, August 17.-Chozo Koike,
secretary of the Japanese embassy to
Great Britain, to-day gave the follow
ing interview to the correspondent of
the Publishers Press on the subject
of the peace negotiations which are
now in progress at Portsmouth:
There is difference of opinion
among the members Of our embassy in
regard to the outcome of the peace
negotiations" said Mr.. Koike. "Sev.
eral members of the staff believe that
the negotiations will fall through, but
l consider that successful conclus.
ion is very probable. Russia is de.
cisively beaten and must make peace
for it is impossible for her to continue
the war successfully. Japan will not
recede from her demands in regard
to Saghalien and for an indemnity. !
believe that when Russia realizes this
she will accept the inevitable.
