trOus defeats on land and sea which

positive steps toward offering assist
ance to the belIigerents in coming to
an understanding.
Soon after the President returned
from New York this evening Secretary
Taft called at the White House, and
was in conference with him for several
hours. The President and the secre-
tary discussed the outlook for peace.
1t is realized that the crushing char
acter of the Russian defeat gives to
the President an opportunity, with en-
tire propriety to offer his services 10
the st. Petersburg government in es-
tablishing communication with Toxic,
but until it can be learned that such
an offer would probably be successful,
this government is not inclined to act.
