Russia has a fixed purpose and aim
either to fight or to conclude peace. It
seems to me that the ultimate result
is left to whatever the future may
pre-arranged plan. Should Russia be
determined to hold NIadivostok 1t
would be to her adVantage to conclude
peace before she loses it. But she knows
no desire for peace and her policy is
devoid of any definite plan so there can
be no occasion for a third power to at
tempt Intervention in the near future.
Even the loss of NladiVOstok might not
prompt Russia to seek peace. She
could GO on fetreating indefinitely, hop
ing to exhaust US thereby. We might
take Harbiu and go farther north but
Russia could continue her policy of re-
treat. thereby giving no occasion for a
third party to intervene.
Japan's Terms.
Should Russia ask for peace we shall
insist on an unconditional armistice
and when negotiations are opened we
shall require Russia TO return Man
churia to China, recognize our Suzera1n-
ty over Korea. cede SakhaIln 70 US,
remove permanently the fortlneatlons
Of VIadiVOstok and pay an indemnity
of at least two billion yen (SL000,0 0,000,-
000). Such liberal terms will afford no
occasion for Intervention.
The scene of hOstiIities in Manchur1a
being without any special interest to
prompted to take action to stop the
war. On the contrary the war is af-
fording a lucrative trade to some OF
them in supplying materials for war.
Looked at from diplomatic stand
point, Germany, seeing her eastern dan
ger Iessened by the war and Russia
gradually weakened viii naturally en-
tertain the hope of further reduction
in the strength of her formidable neigh
Dor England will feel satisfaction over
the blows dealt by her ally to her ira
ditional foe. The United States, much
as she sympathizes with US, will not
welcome an excessive development OF
Japan's power lest it should cause fu-
ture trouble, and would not view with
disfavor the gradual weakening of both
combatants.
France alone must be sincerely de-
sirous of seeing the war terminate. but
single-handed she can do nothing to
cause any change Both the present
and the future to my mind and view
afford no sign of the possibility Of
Intervention and I am prepared to say
that the time has not yet come to talk
Of peace. In fact. there never will be
an occasion for intervention and the
war will last long"

burn ex-students has been called for

Der of former Washburn men in this

time have been putting enthusiasm in

Accountants Coming Then to Find Out
About the Work.

Next Friday the expert accountant
representing the firm of Haskin &
Sells. Chicago. who is to make the
special examination of the state treas
uTy and other departments, viii arrive
in Topeka, and the advisory board will
meet for the purpose of deciding
where the work of investigation shall
commence.
Governor Hoch today received a
letter from the accounting firm stat
ing that their plans had been some
what delayed, but that they would
have their man on the ground next
Friday. ready to begin work.
It is believed that the advisory
board will, after consultation with the
expert accountant decide to have the
department of the state treasurer ex-
amined first. Treasurer T. T. Kelly is
expecting to start on a trip to San
Francisco, Portland and the Yellow
stone park on May 81, and he may
have to forego this excursion in case
it is decided to take up the investiga-
ton of his books at once.

MISSION VOTES 1T DOWN
Doesn't Want Interurban Line-WiH
Change Route.

Mission township voted down the
proposition to give $4,000 to the To-
peka, Eskridee & Council Grove Rail-
way company to build its proposed
line through that territory The cleo
ton was held on Saturday and the
bonds defeated by vote of almost two
to one.
Negotiations were opened this
morning BY the directors of the road
with the people living in the southern
part of Topeka township, to see now
they would entertain a similar propo-
sition, namely, to vote $4,000 per nlle.
Answer was returned at once from 2
number of prominent residents that
the money would be raised in sub
scriptions at once. and that they
would only be too glad to have the
railroad go through their land.
If the road IS run through tne
southern part of Topeka township
then it viii lose the bonds which
Dover township voted. because the
new route viii not pass through It's
precincts. But the Auburn township
people have already signined that they
will be willing to make that up.
So the road viii in all probability be
lost to Mission township The new
route viii 20 through the southwest
corner of Topeka township to Aupufn'
instead of through Mission and Dover;
and will go right on direct to Councll
Grove.

Toxic. May 22-Count Okuma. former
premier and minister of foreign affairs,
in a recent interview on the question of
intervention. said that a great change
in the lines of diplomacy Of different
powers being the natural outcome of
the present war it was difficult to make
a prophecy. Increasingly closer rela-
tons between England and France was
already one of the very significant phe-
nomena resulting from the war. The
count declared that Germany could
have no other feeling than satisfaction
at finding her northern rival becoming
gradually weakened by the war, and
would recognize the fOolishness OF an
tagonizing Japan if Germany could
maintain and develop her interests in
the far east. Okunla saw no occasion
for intervention unless a European con-
ference could be formed and he could
not understand who would take the
initiative so long as Germany did not
suffer by the war. Germany, he assert
ed, was reaping benefits of varied kinds
and would follow the policy of get the
best and as much as possible"
