peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japa-

his majesty issues invitations 20
second peace conference at The
Hague.
That the emperor has done so was
learned from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as 20 it's authenticity.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise hore. and that Rus
sia should plan seconi conference.
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt was also heard
with amazement II is clear that the
step could not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete un-
derstanding with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt is
reported as being entirely I'm sympa-
thy with the proposal. and that he Is
said 20 believe that 90 the lnitiator OF
tho first Hague conference should be
long the honor OF convoking the sec
ond. and readily and even gladly ac-
ceded to the Russian proposal. Is clear
proof that the conference has already
been called. and that President Roose-
welt relinqulshed his part in it to the
emperor.
II was impossible 20 learn the pro-
posed date OF the second conference

regarding IT, but II probably will not
