of Days or Weeks, and il is More

Have to Draw Heavily on other
Countries--Japan's War Loan.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 20.--S. Kur-
inc, the Japanese diplomat, who was
recently appointed minister plenipoten-
tiary to the United States, is here on
his way to Washington. He arrived
on the China and told the story Of the
war up TO the time Of his departure.
He is not one of those who consider
the quarrel between the nations as a
matter of days and weeks, and from
his position in the japanese govern
ment--he was director of political af-
fairs ia the foreign office before he
TOOK his present position-his opinion
has weight.
In regard to the Chinese forces" he
said, the north fleet is good and prob
ably some Of the scattering are fairly
competent TO make a fight, but so far
as the training is concerned / consider
the japanese far superior. Our gen.
erall facilities for fighting are also
much better.
THE. Chinese government has no di-
rect control of its navy. 1t is scattered
and the naval control is local. The
south squadron has some little train
ing and no discipline, but the whole
navy is untried'
The minister's attention was called
to recent cablegram, in which it was
large special prizes for the destruction
of Japanese naval vessels, for the
heads Of Japanese officers, and were
even offering bounties for the heads OF
Japanese soldiers.

been issued for the protection Of the
Chinese.
THE intention of the japanese gov
eminent is the peace Of the east.
Japan is practically fighting to pre-
serve the peace of the east. The bal
ance of power is as much function in
Oriental politics as ii is in European
affairs. and the autonomy of Corea Is
insisted upon by Japan to preserve
that balance of power. We are not
giving any advantage to Russia and
that is why England is now neutral
Had Japan and Russia acted together
this would not be the case | do not
think that France, England or Russia
viii be brought into this controversy
but that it will be fought out by Japan
and China alone.
In regard to the need of Japan fol
supplies of different kinds from Amer.
lea, it is hard at present to tell just
what scope it will take. At present
Japan has an abundance of munitions
and supplies. but if the war were tc
last long time undoubtedly we must
draw heavily on other countries"
