LEVER
Japan Now Given Opportunity to In­
crease Her Demands on Russia.
St. Petersburg, July 11. — With the
Japanese flag hoisted for the first time
on Russian soil after 18 months of war,
the importance of the landing on the
island of Sakhalin is generally admit­
ted both in newspaper comment and in
government circles. Complete occupa­
tion of the island is regarded as a fore­
gone conclusion.
The Novoe Vremya voices the general
sentiment in holding that control of
Sakhalin puts a powerful lever in the
possession of Japanese diplomacy,
which finally has something tangible
in its hands to throw upon the scales
with the sword in the coming confer­
ence.
There is a divergence of opinion with
regard to the effect it will have upon
the negotiations at Washington, some
of the irreconcilables declaring that
it makes peace at the present juncture
more impossible than before, as Japan
will be able to demand the cession of
the islands and a heavy indemnity as
well, at which terras peace will he too
costly, hut the more prevalent view is
that Japan has now in her hands
enough trumps to take the game.
The attack on the island certainly
dissipates one of the hopes of the peace
advocates, who have been suggesting
that its voluntary cession might he an
offset with Port Arthur and the Chi­
nese railway against the payment of
large part or all of a monetary indem­
nity. No further report of the landing
operations has been received.
