LONDON. September 10 U0:20 p.mb.
Newton Booth Knox, an American
mining engineer of San Francisco. who
has just reached London from Russia,
related that Emperor Nicholas may DO
seen motoring through the streets OF
Petrograd unattended. and that appar-
emily he has no more fear of his peo-
pie than has President Wilson of the
citizens Of the United States.
Mr.. Knox. who had been in Mongolia.
on his way back passed through ST.
IBERIA and much of Russia. Il note q
wonderful change of feeling in the
Russian people since my last visit" he
said today. "A new national spirit
has sprung into being. l met the first
evidences of this in Siberia, where po-
litical prisoners are being liberated.
Tolerance Is being shown toward the
Jews. and there are greater liberties
for all the people. 1 saw Emperor
Nicholas driving in a motor car
through the streets of .Petrograd like q
private person.
All Enthusiastic for War.
"All classes are full of enthusiasm
for the war I saw movements of
troops all the way across Russia, and
was astonished at the efficiency Of
the transport. l visited prisoners of
war in their camp at Pologda. The
men were cheerful and apparently we'll
treated. 1 talked with nine Austrian
officers who crossed the line and sur
rendered at the outbreak of the war
I also saw two German bankers OF
Petrograd in this camp. They had fur-
nished their rooms luXuriously anu
were expecting an easy Lire, but m
stead they had been sent out to work
on the roads.
II noticed that Austrian prisoners
were treated vigorously at MOSCOW.
The reason for this given me by the
Russian officers was tnat the military
governor of MOSCOW was visiting some
Austrian baths at the outbreak OF the
war, had been taken into CUSTODY by the
Austrian military authorities. deprived
of his baggage and turned loose some
miles from the frontier and told TO
walk to Russia. Later he was set upon
by Austrian soldiers and beaten ana
robbed. He is now evening up the
score"
MIR. Knox said the government Is pay
ing Russian peasants double prices Tor
their horses. and the owners of motor
cars are given half the original price
of their machines.
Russia's Record Wheat Crop.
Russia and Siberia are harvesting
the largest wheat crop in years." Mr..
Knox continued. THE Russians be-
lieve there will be a new era for their
country following the war. brought
about by British and French capital.
Siberia Is certainly the only unex-
plotted country in the world.

While the people Of Sweden favor the

In the midst of the European wal
Great Britain. France, Spain and China

treaties with the United States. One
effect of the new conventions would be

of these treaties though negotiations
have not advanced to the point OF

The first four treaties are ready for
signature and are regarded by Presi-

negotiations were begun before the
European war broke out, their consum-

any question of neutrality or other

Secretary Bryan hopes to have

peace of the United States with the en-
tire world.
Would Delay Declarations of War.
The treaties with Great Britain,
France. Spain and China provide that
all disputes, of every nature whatso-
ever, to the settlement of which pre-
vious arbitration treaties or agree
ments do not apply in their terms or
are not applied in fact, shall, when
diplomatic methods of adjustment have
failed, be referred for investigation and
report to permanent international
commission. and they agree not to de-
clare war or begin hostilities during
such investigation and before the re-
port is submitted
The treaties specify that the report
of the commission shall be completed
within one year after it shall declare
its Investigation to have begun. AL
though all the contracting parties re-
serve the right to act independently
after the report of the commission Is
submitted, the administration here be-
