PERTINENT POINTS

With the Russian view Of the indemnity pro-
posals, If it were correct. we should have 10
sFmpathlze. Mr.. Nitte expressed it plainly
when he said, we quoted yesterday that
Russia would not pay Japan for injuring her
That. however. with all respect cannot he re-
garded a correct view of the matter Japsn
does not ask pay for iniurng Russia She does
ask indemnity for a war into which she was
forced In seif-defenee and for self-preservation
She asks reimbursement for expenses incurred
in compelling Russia TO fulfil her promises Rus
sia is not asked to pay for injuries done TO her.
self. She is asked 10 pay the penalty of her
own broken faith
With the japanese demand for the surrender
OF the interned Russian ships it is not easy to
agree, unless on the theory that they are to be
reckoned as part of the indemnity. We cannot
see that Japan has any title TO them by con-
quest She did not capture them. She tried to
90 So but failed. They escaped her and found
refuge in neutral ports. She has no more
ground for demanding their surrender than she
has for demanding the surrender of the Rus
sian armies in the field which she has not vet
succeeded in capturing. Her insistence upon
that demand would not meet with the approval
OF the world. Moreover, it would seem to be
foolish to imperil peacemaking on that ground,
seeing OF how little consequence after ALL those
interned ships are.
The japanese demand for Limitation of Rus
sian naval power in Asian waters also does
not seem particularly well advised. Its en-
forcement would be peculiarly humiliating and
offensive TO Russia, and it really would be OF
little, IL any, practical good TO Japan. 1t would
not prevent Russia from building all the ships
she pleased at home, or from sending them
around TO those waters whenever she saw fit 10
make war upon Japan. The entire practical bllity
of thus sending them thlther in good condition
was amply demonstrated by Rojestvensky, and
IL is probable that had the management of the
Russian feet been equal 10 that of the japanese
that expedition would have been successful Ii
would be most unfortunate IL the japanese
should imperil the making of peace by insist
ence upon such demand as that

The temptations to steal are more alluring now

lamentable fact that many of those who land

That the burglar is feared far more than he
used to be is shown by the great increase in the
burglary insurance business in this country
Fifteen years ago companies organized to insure
against theft invariably went to the wall. Now
there are more than dozen corporations en-
gagged in covering burglary risks, and all ap-
pear more or less prosperous. In the last year
they took in more than 81 100000 in premiums,
thanks to our laxity in maintaining law and

INSECURITY AGAINST rHEFT.

The increasing number of burglaries in this
city serves TO call attention not so much to the
prowess of the robber as TO the insecurity OF the
home of the average citizen. As pointed out
elsewhere in The Tribune this morning many
districts of this city are so easily worked bv
thieves that conservative burglar insurance
companies will not cover any risks within them
One of the largest corporations engaged in this
line OF business, for example will not insure
anything east of the Bowery.
Nor is there danger alone in the kind of neigh
borhood in which one lives. Even in the most
exclusive streets where society is select. build
ings massive and watchmen many, the home
may be as insecure as in the tenement districts
The tenants of the most fashionable hotels are
regarded by actuaries as almost prohbitiye
risks, and IL able at all to insure their property
they are compelled 10 pay the highest rates
The reason is-they may any day be made the
victims of rogues disguised as servants or fell
low guests.
And should the owner of treasures lock them
up In a safe of chrome steel lie cannot escane
