His game was a sure one, too; Geérmany could only win and Russia eould only lose. x ‘Was Unpopular War. Baron Korff then told of Japan’s efforts to settle the matter amicably and of the final loss of patience and the declaration of war. “This war, he said, “was never popular with the Russian nation.

Under such con- ditions defeat was unavoidable. “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 well known from President Roose- velt. After some hesitation the czar appointed Witte as the chief repre- sentative of , Russia, probably her cleverest man, but unfortunately lack- ing firm mozal principles. , Gets American Sympathy. “‘Witte gives a vivid account, in his memoirs of the Portsmouth peace conference of how he won a brjlliant diplomatic victory nearly succeeding in annihilating the Japanese military achievements. At the same time he also succeeded in another, no less im- portant, task of swinging American pubhc opinion from open hostility to rty sympathy. This part of his story concerning his dealings with the American press and his personal en- deavors in the United States is mobt instructive and clearly shows the force 'of public 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 dickering in Manchuria the trend of Amercan feelings was just the oppo- site wholeheartedly back of Japan.’” “There is no doubt whatever that this change, achieved among Am- ericans affected the peace negotia- tions and helped Witte to gain the upper hand. “Not - doubting Roosevelt's sin- cerity, we can, however, at present question his wisdom in forcing this peace upon Russia. Not that we could expect a victory or even mili- tary achievements, but Japan might have learned a lesson which would have changed much of the succeed- ing events throughout the world. As a matter of fact Russia’s condition and the state of her army could not have been much worse if the war 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- ment to grant more reforms, estab- lishing in a firmer way the principles of constitutional government for which she was quite ripe, but which neither the Czar nor the ruling class were yet ready to grant. What they did grant they tried to take back as soon as the social discontent quisted down.” Japan is Saved. “Again the continuation of war would have brought important changes in Japan. Japan at that moment was dt the end of her tether, Roosevelt, in other words saved Japan from an economric collapse that might have called for consatitutional re- forms in Japan also, and only the latter could be a reliable guarantee against the developments of im- perialism in the Pacific.” the | happened. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY AUGUST 5 Once the treaty ©of Ppeace was signed, relations between Russla and Japan were again friendly. In the words of Baron Korff: “The momentary feud between the ‘wo nations passed away as sudden- ly as it came. If we now look badk ‘o the conflict we can ‘easily see its sharacteristic artificiality. It was so innatural and unnecessary and conld casily have been avoided if both sides had been willing to concede a little to their opponent. Especially 'does the fault He with Russia. Her policy toward Japan was the height of loolishness and politial shortsighted- ness; it will always remain a terrible ndictment against Czar Nicholas and his immediate counsellors and it will ever be a striking example of the dangers of secret diplomacy.” AUTO GETS BALKY; BACKS DOWN STREET Car Gets Stalled on West Main Street Goes in Reverse, But Not in Forward Direction. In the days of yore 'twas not an uncommon sight to see a balky horse on the street; and it was a common practice to overcome the balky ten- dencies by the simple expedient of building a 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 it Blouis! The smooth run- ning touring car stopped. The motor continued to hum, but the driving wheels simply would not go forwa Throw it into reverse and it 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 simpty dragged. Following much sensec and non- sense, directed at the 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 a garage. And it was not to be taken unawares either. The wary operator, seeking to catch it napping, tried to switch it into for- ward, but therp was nothing doing. AMERICAN YACHT WINS.
