Time statesmen of Japan are Bhowlng as
much astuteness In listening to overtures for
peace n they exhibited In preparing for
war. They know that the Interests ot Great
Britain and Russia are so diverse that these
two nations are not yet ready to agree
upon a plan by which to Intervene and agreI
upn
the wnr. And so , Instead oC accepting the
terms of peace which have been offered In I
such n vauo way by China , they prefer to
make their own terms time humiliation oC
China first beIng BO complete that she eLI
bo willing to settle on any conditions pro
posed by the vlctorB. I may br 0
argued that peace could bo had now r ,
when the way to Peking Is virtualy yU

doubt Japan feels that If she WCl to end (

military forces Is about 303,000 mneim. These : ,
however , Include the West India relment ,
the Royal Malta artiiiery . and a few corps
