Whatever the popular feeling in this country, I think the Russian Government will readily admit that the attitude of President Roosevelt, personally and offi- cially, has been all that Russia or Japan could ask. If Russia had taken the ad-| vice of the President after the battle of Lioyang she would now be at peace with the world, with the greater portion of[ her navy intact.” This reference was to a conference which the President had with Count Cas- sini soon after the battle of Liaoyang, wiien the President expressed the opinion that Russia could with dignity and ad- vantage discuss peace terms with Japan at that time, and with the certainty that . no indemnity would be asked. While careful to transmit the substance of thel conversatien to his Government, the only ahswer which the Russian Embassador recelved was “the Emperor will contin the war to the bitter end.” e 0 .
