of hostilities until the treaty of peace
has been signed.
The Russian plenipotentiaries ac-
companied by their secretaries called
on Baron Komura and Mr.. Takahira
shortly after noon today and were in
conference with them for half an hour.
Japan having indicated last night
through Baron komura her willing
ness for an armistice. Mr. White sup
posed today that he would find them
ready to sign. Baron Komura explain
ed that while his government was
ready to consent to n armistice, his in
structions were that this should not
take effect until after the signing of
the treaty.
The discussion lasted for half al
hour, the Russian position being that
Japan'S contention was without prece-
dent, and that if the armistice was not
to take effect until the signing of the
treaty, it was practically unnecessary.
However, the Japnese were insiStent,
and an agreement was accordingly en-
tered into providing for an armistice
which will take effect the moment the
treaty is signed.
Mr.. Sato in explanation of Japan's
insistence that the armistice shll not
go into effect until the treaty is signed,
said:
''It is necessary that not only the
commanders in the field, but all the
commuters of ships shall be notified
and this necessarily requires d little
time Japan did not desire to have the
armistice go into effect until the COM
manders on sea nd land had been
notified. thus ensuring the mainter-
ance of the agreement
1t is pointed out in Japnese circles
that an armistice has practically bee ;
in effect since the conference began,
and it is declared that there is no
ground for anxiety for a clash before
the signatures of the treaty.
