GREAT BRITAIN WILL TAKE NO
STEP TO EASE THINGS FOR
RUSSIA.
SERIOUS OBSTACLE TO PEACE
BELIEVED THAT RUSSIA WILL
OPPOSE THE cESSIoN OF
SAkHALIN.

Washington, Aug. Japan comes
to the Washington conference assured
that whatever her peace terms they
will have the sympathetic approval OF
Great Britain. Several suggestions
from Washington to London that the
cause of peace would be served by an
explanation to Japan from her ally
favoring moderation in her demands
upon Russia have not availed to
change the British government in its
apparently unalterable determination
to stand by Japan, however severe she
makes her conditions of peace. Nor
has the British government seen its
Washington in the efforts which this
government is making to obtain an
armistice. Advices reaching here
show that London is
Opposed to an Armistice
until Japan has been satisfied that
Russia's plenipotentiaries are pre-
pared to do more than discuss means
of ending the war. If Russia is ready
to conclude peace and has so en-pow-
cred her plenipotentiaries, Great
Britain. it is believed, might favor an
armistice, but even in such event it is
said she would not be willing to Offer
Japan advice on the subject.
AS understood in Washington, Lord
Lansdowne's position is that as the
loyal ally of Japan, Great Britain can
afford to take no step, nor assume any
attitude that would in the remOtest
degree rebound to the advantage of
Japan's enemy When Japan asks her
ally for advice, the London govern
ment, it is said, is prepared immedi-
ately to give it, but this advice will be
based on Japan's interest as primary
consideration.
Great Britain Wants Peace.
Nor is this attitude upon the part of
the London government misinter-
preted in London as indicating that it's
officials do not share in the wish OF
the neutral powers for peace. 1t has
been made plain that the activity of
the president has the full sympathy of
the British people, although their
first thought, it is declared, must be in
the interest of their ally. At the same
time the London government in it's eX-
changes with the American embassy
in London has not hesitated to express
the hope that Japan's terms will not
be unreasonable, viewed in the light
of the results of the war.
Believing, as official Washington
does, that Japan will not insist upon
the dismantlement of Vladivostok
should Russia
Fail to Agree
to it in return for the naturalization OF
Port Arthur, the cesSiOn of Sakhalin,
which it is understood will be among
the essential conditions. will, the Of
ficials here believe, prove the most
serious obstacle to peace in the Far
East.
Keen interest is felt here in the ne
gotiations, which, it is understood,
are making substantial Roadway, be-
tween Japan and England looking to
the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese al.
lance. The scope of the alliance. it
is known. will considerably exceed the
present union, though to what extent
neither Europe nor Washington has
been able to learn.

alton III the department rs it relates
10 the Investigations now in progress.
All rumors of the intention of Secre-
tary Wilson to resign from the cab-
net may be put aside as merely con-
jec.ural. The secretary has no pres
! ent intention of leaving the cabinet,
and the president knows of no reason
why he should resign.
The president, it may be said, re-
poses implicit confidence in Secretary
Wilson and is thoroughly satisfied that
he will
Solve the Difficulties
now presented to the entire satisfac-
ton of the chief executive and of the
country. 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Wilson would have come to Oys-
ter Bay before this had it not been for
the unsettled condition in his depart
ment which rendered it practically i'm
possible for him to leave Washington.
He is pressing every phase of the in
vestigations now in progress and will
develop every fact which the country
ought to know. That the president is
confident that the secretary will purge
the department of every scandal that
may attach to it is evidenced by the
fact that he is not interfering with
the matters before it. All matters
brought to his attention have been
turned over to Secretary Wilson with
instructions to inquire into them. This
the secretary has done and his work
has the
Approval Of the President.
1t is the determination of both the
president and Secretary Wilson to
clear the department of agriculture of
every form of grafters To this end the
likelihood is that every bureau of the

whether any such condition exists as
was developed in the bureau of Stats
tics. Quietly but effectively Secretary
Wilson has been working to this end
for many months. Many employees of
the department have been dropped
from the rolls. practically without the
knowledge of the general public. Some
have been dismissed outright, V lille
others have been permitted to resign.
Assurance is given that no stone will
be left unturned to eliminate e.ery
faint of scandal in the department of
agriculture.

the health authorities for every per-

it is calculated that a tremendous

ing the general health of the city at
heart, took advantage of the seccation

cleaned up their places as was never
done before. An army of men, women
and children worked relentlessly from
morning till night. and in a day or
two New Orleans will be perfectly
sanitated, and, it is believed, rid of
the fever.
There were no dscouraging disclos-
