LosDoS. September S0.-The Times
publishes this morning an article by an
expert, In which the writer compares
and collates the Times advices from Chez
Foo and the Central News dispatches
from Toxic. The writer concludes that
IL may be safely affirmed that modern
weapons have not materially modified
the conditions OF naval warfare. and he
sdds:
"Japan'r next movement is now .
question Of the greatest importance.
China's feet 10 virtually parslysed. and
the japanese are free 10 transport force
in any direction. There arc iwo princi-
pal courses for them 10 pursue--to strike
direct for Pcking or TO occupy Formosa.
Either courpc 10 more probable than q
march 70 Moukd~n. il seems certain
that 1000 Japanese could take Peking,
when Japan could obtain, 70 far as China
Il concerned. any terms she is likely to
demand. On the other hand. the time
available 10 very short owing TO the ap-
prosch Of winter, and the venture,
though not impraciicable, would be very
risky. A force Of - 900 would suffice 10
occupy formoea. and descent upon the
place 10 certainly among the immediate
possibilities. Japan seeks territorial ex-
pAnsion. and Fosmoea oficrs obvious adj
vantagcs."
