completed by the end of the week.
Japs Yield the Whole Thing.
This happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which a week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the intercession of President Roose-
welt, was sudden and dramatic. For
the sake of pence Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor, ut the last
moment yielded everything still in is
sue. Russia refused to bulge from
the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had
given to President Roosevelt through
Ambassador Meyer. No indemnity un-
der any guise, but an agreement to
divide Sakhalin and reimburse Japan
for the maintenance of the Russian
prisoners We're his last words. They
had been repeatedly reiterated in de
Whites instructions. and in the form
of written reply to the Japanese

WHY THE JAP WAS so EASY
Statement Giving His Reasons 70,
Waving n War Indemnity,


The following statement of the Jap
anese argument which governed their
decision to waive the question of in
demnity can be accepted as authorita-
tive: Japan realized fully she was
making a sacrifice for peace, but she
was looking to the future. 1t was not
Il question of whether the war could be
successfully continued, but of whether
peace was not now more advantageous
to Japan. japan had already gained
all she fought for. 1t was only the
'spoils Of war that remained, and
having achieved the real objects of the
war she could afford to fOrsgo the
spoils rather than to be placed in the
position of fighting for money.
while Japan believed she was en-
titled to the spoils she felt that her po-
sitiOn was SO strong. her successes so
complete, that she could yield without
detracting from the force Of her vic
tory"
