Once the treaty of peace was
signed. relations between Russia ana
japan were again friendly. In the
words OF Baron Korf:
THE momentary feud between the
Two nations passed away as sudden
y as 1t came. If we now look Da1sk
% the conflict we can easily see It's
characteristic artificiality. 1t was SO
unnatural and unnecessary and could
easily have been avoided II both sides
had been willing to concede little
to their opponent. Especially does
the fault lie with Russia. Her policy
| toward Japan was the height OF
| toolishness and politial shortsighted-
| ness; it will always remain a terrible
! Indictment against Car Nicholas and
his immediate counsellors and it will
ever be a striking example OF the
| dangers Of secret diplomacy"

Goes in Reverse, But Not in
Forward Direction.
In the days of yore twas not an
uncommon sight to sec balky horse
on the street; and it was common
practice to overcome the balky ten
denotes by the simple expedient Of
building little fire underneath the
recalcitrant provider OF motive power.
But early, pedestrians on West Main
street last evening, were treated to
what was probably their first sight
OF a genuinely balky automobile; and
tho old expedient OF building a fire
under the provider of motive power.
while suggested from the curb. was
not deemed worthy Of consideration.
In front Of the electric building 1t
happened. Blouis! The smooth run
ming touring car stopped. The motor
continued to hum, but the driving
wheels simply would not go forward.
Throw it into reverse and 1t ran back
wards as smoothly as could be de-
sired, but no amount of coaxing or
tinkering could make! It go forward.
A tow rope was attached. but even
this was no inducement. The car,
perforce. went forward, but the rear
wheel continued to balk, would not
revolve in a forward direction and
simply dragged.
Following much sense and non
sense, directed at tho irate owner by
the amused passersby, it was decided
to back the car to a garage. With
another car going ahead, acting as an
advance guard and clearing the way.
the balky machine slid gracefully into
reverse without a struggle and backed
down West Main street, into Main and
finally into garage. And it was not
to be taken unawares either. The
wary operator. seeking to catch 1t
mapping, tried to switch it into for
ward, but there was nothing doing.

The situation became SO threat
ening that in July the czar had fin
ally to give in. He sought peace
abroad and made constitutional con-
cessions at home, all under the direct
pressure of fear. The initiative of
the peace negotiations came, as is
we'll known from President Roose-
welt. After some hesitation the car
appointed Witte as the chief repre-
sentative of Russia, probably her
cleverest man, but unfortunately lack
ing firm moral principles.
Gets American Sympathy.
"Witte gives a vivid account, in his
memoirs of the Portsmouth peace
diplomatic victory nearly succeeding
in annihilating the Japanese military
achievements. At the same time he
also succeeded in another, no less i'm
portant, task Of swinging America n
public opinion from open hostility to
hearty sympathy. This part of his
story concerning his dealings with the
American press and his personal en-
beavers in the United States is most
instructive and clearly shows the
force of pu bile opinion in our days"
Contrast only his seeming OPEN
mindedness and civility to the press
| men with the cold aloofness of the
| Japanese enshrined in their dignity,
secluded and secretive and you will
| easily understand the results and
| consequences. In the space of a few
weeks, American public opinion was
entirely on the side of Russia and
against Japan, while during the war
and previous to it, while Russia was
] dfckering in Manchuria the trend of
| American feelings was just the oppo-
| site Fundamentally back of Japan"
There is no doubt whatever that
this change, achieved among Am

tons and helped Witte to gain the
upper hand.

Question his wisdom in forcing this
peace upon Russia. Not that we
lcould expect victory or even mill

have learned lesson which would
have changed much OF the succeed

"a matter Of fact Russia's condition
and the state of her army could not
have been much worse If the wal
had dragged on a few months longer.
The Russian army would never
have been able to show much grit
but her internal troubles would have
increased and forced the govern

fishing in firmer way the principles
Of constitutional government fol
which she was quite ripe. but which
neither the Gar nor the ruling class
were yet ready to grant. What they
