The Japanese, as clever ta diplomacy as they are on the battlefield, ta proposing a compromise upon Sakhalin made a very able move. They practically rgue thus: Ruula will not admit tbe principle of a war indemnity; well, we will not speak of It that way. Russia will not reimburse us for the cut of the war; well, we will withdraw that condition. Russia will not cede territory, well we will meet that desire.

Russia answers that the amount Is a war indemnity in disguise. In fixing the sum the Japanese add that that Is the cost of the island, which Russia can take or leave. To this Mr. Roosevelt adds: The questions of honor having been put aside, would yon not submit to the judgment of impartial perrons, ths question of the price?" "The arbiters could be chosen by the two countries and they could fix tbe values. Thus further bloodshed would be averted.
