Greatest Contries in World.


Greatest Contries in World.
New York, Sept. 8-"America and
Russia are almost like the far-famed
siamese twins" said Sergius Witte,
the Russian peace envoy in an inter-
view published today by the Herald.
The two great countries of the
world he continued, are Russia and
the United States. They are the two
great countries of the world, because
they both produce men and material.
This is the secret of any nations sue
cess.
Asked if he thought Russfa's COM
mercial condition had been bettered or
injured by the war, Mr.. Witte said:
Russia is better now than she ever
was. After the war she will get on her
feet again and when she gets on her
feet it will be firm and strong posi-
ton that she takes We have the men,
the money ana the people. We have
the greatest undeveloped country that
exists, Our climate ranges from the
tropics to the arctic.

Russia" said the envoy, in discuss

try in America. America is so far

working toward calming popular ex-

opinion is expressed tonight that the

General Sakumo, who assumed the
charge of the capital today under the
authority of the emergency ordinance.

impression owing to the conciliatory
tone in which it is expressed, and its
note of firmness in declaring that the

Many belive that the issuance of the
summons for the special session OF

among the public. The report that
trouble has spread at Chiba, forty
miles distant from Toxic, has been
partly confirmed.
1t seems certain that the police sta
