WASHINGTON. D. C Aug. IS. The origin of those recurrent Russo-Japanese war stories has long been a dip lomatic secret. Tou may remem ber that the Rm "flans were certain the early part of thla year that they would be attacked In April. They even mass ed troops In read lnees. It can now be , disclosed that their Information came from the i..in.u them i iff Li''- Paul Malloo selves. The Russian ambassador to Toklo last winter was unable to get any satisfactory Information concern ing Japan's attitude from Toltlo of ficials, so he decided to go directly to General Arakl, leader of the Jap anese militarists ana me ponticm toss of Japan. He asked Arakl di rectly If he thought war was Immin ent. To his amarnent, Arakl said that war was Inevitable and that It would itart In April. All Information from other sources confirmed this view, so the Russians took Arskl at his word. The story Is being cited by eminent Jspanese authorities as proof that the militarists do not always have their way In Toklo.' Those who have had experience with Oriental diplomacy may draw their own conclusions as to Arakl's motives. The Incident, however, encouraged A our best diplomatic authorities to be . lleve that the current Russo-Japanese difficulties over the Manchurlan rail way are not a harbinger of Immediate war, but Just a little Oriental hag gling over price. Most competent au thorities here now believe an even tual Russo-Japanese war Is Inevitable, but they would be surprised M It eomes soon. Meanwhile, our diplomats are se cretly half glad the far eastern caul dron Is bubbling again. They will not admit It openly, but they have noted that the Russians come running to us every time inn Japsnese threaten. Thus It may now have a very beneficial errect on per. plexlng debt problems which we now have pending witn Russia. The way President Roosevelt squeez ed himself shrewdly through the far eastern difficulties during his Ha waiian visit Is causing his associate to comment again on hla political agility. rtna nitfAll he avoided waa dug de liberately by a well-known Chinese political leader. This politician ieii Shanghai for Honolulu, announcing wnhllrlv that he was going to see Mr. Roosevelt. The sensitive Toklo press played It up big. suspecting it -spelled danger for Japan. When the Chinese arrived at Hono lulu, he again announced he would see Mr. Roosevelt, and again the Jap anese press boiled. The presidential party was fore warned against the dangerous diplo matic possibilities of such a meeting, and the Chinese politician was dell .iiv. ooiitelv and firmly given the run-around. He never even got near Mr. Roosevelt. It is now safe to relate that many of Mr. Roosevelt's handy men were worried about the personal danger in volved In his Hawaiian visit.
