The theories Of the Russian monarchy

Peace will come, but japan has won
recognition on too solid a basis for that
virile little people to throw away
their advantage.
The Mikado's representatives are
the shrewdest diplomats that the worn
out backnumbers that represent the
monarchies ever encountered.
THEY MAKE NO MISTAKES AND
MAKE NO BREAKS. THEY DO
NOTHING .UNwIsE OR FOOLISH
They do not even waste time bowling
to public applause.
japan is entitled to Saghalien island,
which is continuation of their own
long strip Of sea promontory, and should
belong to them.
Japan will hold the railroad from
Harbin to Port Arthur, but will not in
sist on holding VIadivostok, as being
too far from their mainland.
Their brilliant achievment in tax
ing Port Arthur, the strongest fortifea-
tion in Asia, gives them control Of
China and Korea.
The peace is sure to be established at
any price because the monarchial and
financial interest desire the Russian
empire TO stand.
