that Iowa ceased to be young and frs

THE PROBABILITIES OF PEACE.

The cars attitude toward peace
and President Roosevelt's friendly at
tempt at mediation offer ground for
definite hope that the war is nearing
an end. Newspapers are announcing
that peace Is likely to be declared with
in the week and indications point to
early negotiations between the en-
battled nations.
Still 1t is we'll not to jump to OPP
timistic conclusions. The end of the
war depends largely on the character
OF Japanese demands Russia will not
be able to settle for song. She must
pay and pay well or there will be no
peacs. Japanese statesmen are not
likely to forego the advantages gained
at such terrible cost and the peace
terms will include not only a large
cash indemnity, but the REIMBURSEMENT
Of Russia's pretensions on the east
coast Of Asia.
Count Okuma, a leading Japanese
statesman, holds that a repetition Of
the present war, with its vast expendi-
ture of blood and money, must be pre-
vented by depriving Russia of her
strategical position in the far east. In
other words, she must be virtually ex-
cluded from the Pacific. Port Arthur,
vladivostok and the Island of SAX
balm, must be taken from her. 80 that
