This Action Is Considered To Be Di rectly Related to the Manchu rian Question—War Spirit Is Very High in Japan. I Paris, Octol er I.—According to reliable information received here Japan lias de- 1 ci led to send two regiments of infantry Jto Corea. This Is regarded in authori- I tative quarters as being a most impor : ti.nt Stop as; affecting Russia-Japanese ! relations and as likely to accentuate the possibilities of a war crisis. Japan's decision is considered to be dl tectly related to Russia’s proposition to O'-acuate Manchuria October 3. 11 is row a.'-opted in the highest quarters that tho evacuation is impossible of ac complishment, as China has not signed thi terms on which Russia conditioned her evacuation. Tito advi'cs received show that t'hina inclines to continue the present Russian status in Manchuria rather than commit Horst if to finally signing the proposed agreement. In view of these conditions Japan's declsJcn to send troops to Corea is regarded as being a most significant step.

To send a small body of troops to Korea would be no menace to Russia and would have no cfl'cct on her plans. A mobilization of thi' Japanese forces on a large scale is not contemplated for a moment and Ko rra's consent would have to be obtaine 1 fur atty such step." The minister added that, he still be lieved Russia intr.-nde.l to keep) her prom ise to evacuate Manchuria October 8. Un til that promise was broken Japan was not likely to make any move.
