IS WARLIKE
Russian Sentiment Changes as
Time of Peace Conference
Draws Near.
JAPs READY FOR ARMIsrICE
ENJOYS Expect Fighting to End When
Sessions Are Begun at Ports
mouth

st. Petersburg, July 29.-The tone of
the Russian press grows more warlike
as the peace conference draws nigh
and the government on all sides is urg-
ed to resist humiliating demands even
at the cost Of continuing the war. The
Russ which has now the largest liberal
following, finds the Japanese delegates
far from moderate and sees little
chance of the conference ending sue
cessfully, if Mr. Sato has correctly
stated the position, but it appears to
believe that Baron Komura's spokes-
man is acting on his own responsible
ity, or scents a possible blum to have
the way for the acceptance of the ac-
tual and more moderate terms by Jap
an.
Ready for ArmIstice.
New York. July 29.-Inquiry was
made of Mr.. Sato, Baron Komura' S
spokesman, as TO the attitude of the
Japanese on the question of an armis-
tice. and he replied: Japan is per-
fectly willing to agree to an armistice
after the credentials of both commits
sions have been examined and verified.
Is First Duty.
The admission of credentials must
necessarily be the first duty of the
peace delegates, to ascertain that all
are qualified to act in the capacity to
which they are represented. In the
negotiations for peace that ended the
Chinese war, l remember there was
much delay because the credentials of
one of the Chinese plenipotentiaries
did not bear the emperor's seal grant
ing him plenary powers.
Declares for Armistice.
However, | think an armistice will
be agreed upon after the commission
ers enter formally upon their work. 1t
has been the custom in all peace ne
gotiations to cease hostilities during
the convention of the peace plenipo-
tentiares."
