the meeting of the plenipotentiar-
ies seems to rest with President
Roosevelt oml even that is consid-
ered slender so far as known the
presideus has not taken a positive
step in this direction. The impres-
sion here continues strong that
Japan only with reluctance could

ges of her strategic position which
tespite the tone of her official ad-
vices from the front is regarded as
being aliojpthej favorable for

to a suspention of hostilities for at
least six weeks during the time
thousands of reinforcements would
reach General Linevitch and Vlad

with munition and supplies to with'
stand a siege. Indeed it is suggest
ted that Japan deliberately planned
to postpone the meeting long
enough to give Oyama a chance to
administer to the Russian a fresh
defeat on the land in order fo rob
