"Not one kopeck- for indemntiy. re

forcing th Czar's H-aoe envoy, m3i
Ru. hia will pay no contribution in
any form, whether obtensibly a reim
bursement if Japan s war expends,
price for the redemption of tne isiauu
of Sakhalin or any other pretense. It
is not a question of amount.
In vain Japan consents to offer s-till
more moderate terms. In vain she
agrees to abandon her demands lor
the s.urrewler of interned warsuips
and the limitation of Russia's sea
power, and even to restore half i'f
Sakhalin in return for a cash pay
nieut. Czar refuses to consider an in
demnlty. He prefers a final rl''ure at
Portsmouth.
If the war Is to be prolonged there
remain still other ways for the Japan
Asa ii fitlleot &n indemnity. Vladivos
tok lies at their mercy if they choose
!o lay s'.ege to it. Another victory
like Mukden and Oyama will bo in vir
tual possession of 400 miles ol the
Trans-Siberian Railroad from Vladi
vostok to Harbin. Then Russia will
be left with one end of her great trans
continental railroad hanjrlng in the air
and without a port on the Pacific. The
ncrthern branch line, more than 400
miles long, from Vladivostok to Mia
barovsk. is ilefenseless. It is worth
taking In order to control the water
way of the lower Amur. So in Har
bin, which is the key to the granary
of Northern Manchuria.
To conquer this additional territory
would be a far easier task for Japan
han that already accomplished, Th
port of Vladivostok, and the railroad
alone would be worth all the hundreds
f millions that Japan demands as
eomnensaikm. Without them Russia
wnmi he barred forever from the Pa
cific and the labors of half a century
rendered fruitless. To recover tnem
she would have to pay Japan's price.
Japan has honestly striven to con
clude a peace. But if the Czar decide3
that the war shall eo on Japan can
accent his decision with equanimity
Russia's power will be broken the more
completely and the ransom of hia
