The aituatlon is critical and it Is believed that the chances for war are greater than ever before. Peace hinges on the character of Russias response. If the Russian reply Is unsatisfactory It Is almost certain that Japan will fight If Russia desires peace, her position will be difficult to maintain, for the Japanese are distrustful of her promise. If Russias response la delayed for a week It la expected that Japan will demand an Immediate answer. The announcement that Russia Is seeking naval stations In Korea, buying stores In America and buying coal in Japan has Increased the war spirit of the Japanese nation. Influential .newspapers are urging the government to promptly despatch a fleet to guard the Korean coast and patrol the Korean channel. The ministers of war and navy, their general advisory staffs and commanders are conferring dally. Full plana for the campaign of the army and navy have been prepared and the scheme of land and water transportation completed. The thoroughness of Japan's preparations Is pronounced superior to that n of Germany prior to the TOKIO, Jan. 1. growing extremely Franco-Prus-la- war.
