40 re Patriotic Brethrea - Every report
and dispatch from our country printed IN
the daily newspapers Indicates to us tifat5
q war has been declared by Japan upon
China and test q the relative streugih~Of
the two countries Will be amade. The
causes which have led UP 10 this war need
no comment, IL has been brewing for &c
long tlms-many years-and we are ali Ia
miliar with the tlme-worn dispute between
Japan and China,
..lelieylng that the majority OF the japan
csc ali over the world, no matter where
their present residence may be, stand
willing TO aid our native land in its present
bitter struggle. aid IL with0ur money and
II need be our lives. this cali Is made for

fight then We can at least help those who
can fight aud will fight We all regret the
thousands of miles which separate rs
from our beloved country. for at this dis

but what little We do let as do we'll.

FIoUR TO FEED SOLDIERS.
Speaking Of the meeting, G. Sasaki said
last evening:
''Of course, at this distance We can't hope
to do great deal, bat we all feel the posi-
ton in which Japan Is placed. She -
fighting for civilization. for reform, for the
fafsA taf ha Ia
there. For many years the feeling be-
tween Japan and China has been very
bitter, and the two countries were on the
verge Of war several years ago. but Gen.
Grant. who was then making his famous
tour around the world, acted as a media
tor, and for the time being war was
averted. The japanese must fight, how
ever. IL has been a good many hundred
years since they have had a fight, and an
less their wrath Is directed upon China
civil war would probably be the result.
For several years Japan has been prepar-
ing for war. They have one of the finest
navies In the world, and the best oiflcered
and hest drilled soidieTs-soldiers that are
obedient and not afraid 20 die. Now there
Is about $50 co. 600 In the japanese treas
ury, and Il would be an easy matter to
raise $50 600, Coo and this is the proper
time To tight. China has been oppressive
for years, but never SO much so AS now"
Mr.. Sasaki thinks that sending money
home would have little effect. aud he is In
favor Of sending -four in shipments %
i.e00 barrels. lie believes this could be
done and. the example once set, the Jap
snese all over America would follow suit.
He thinks that IL the japanese could as
sure the home government that America
would send II, 600 barrels Of hour month
u would be very acceptable This sugges
tion will be made at the meeting tonight.
