EFFECT OF WAR TALK.
Military Toy and Children's Uniform Fac
tories Are Running Night and Day.

hfe Auhhahs ~Nikh' aho D"ys
The war agitation has caused a lively
demand for military toys and uniforms for
children, and tn factories where such
things are madU are running night and
day trying TO keep up with their orders.
Carloads of drums, guns, tin swords, Iced
soldiers, miniature battleships and cruisers
are shipped from New York every day TO
all parts of the country, and in some of the
big clothing establishments all hands are
at work turning out soldiers and sailors
suits for boys from 10 ~ years of age.
i met man the other night who has
made a small fortune in few weeks out
of the war talk. He travels for toy house
and was ON his way to New York when
the Maine blew up. He says the idea came
TO him while he lay restless in the bunk of
a sleeping car, and before he got his break
fast In the morning he sent dozen or 10
kilograms to various dealers and manufac-
turers, placing orders for every military
toy they had in stock or could produce
during the next four weeks thus practi
cally cornering the market. When he re-
ported this to his firm, IL repudiated his
action, and he rendered his resignation on
the spot He found friend with money
who had faith in the scheme, and the or
ders stood. Within ten days he had dis
posed of every toy and is now busy attend
ing to their shipment. His old firm con-
fessed its mistake before the week ended
and bought $50, 900 worth of bis stock

CUBA III FRENCH EYES


Cuba, the Pearl of the Antilles, has q
key In her escutcheon called the key Of the
new world. It Is the key Of the American
Mediterranean, of which Cuba occupies
the center and the converging point OF the
maritime lines Situated In front Of the
delta OF the Mississippi. 90 kilometers from
Florida, ESQ from Mexico and 100 from
the Bahamas, II forms the point OF union
between the old and the new worlds, and
the entrepot of both. For this its config-
uration Is admirably suited.
The port Of Havana, the capital OF the
island, il one of the great ports OF the
world. The harbor is one of the finest 20
be found anywhere and is able 10 shelter a
thousand ships. Havana has a population
Of ESQ, 600 souls living in that smiling and
beautiful locality, which seems 10 haye
been made 10 please the eye. In this in
sular and tropical center of Cuba, SO diff
ferent from the hard and dry land Of
Spain, the Spanish race has become modi-
fed, less perhaps by the change Of climate
and other conditions Of existence than by
the iDtermingling OF races. 1t has become
Cuban just as the French race has become
creole in the Antilles.
To some extent, and not the least char
acteristic, the Cuban belongs TO the Span
Ism COlOblsts OF the tnrte Americas. now
ever proud, like them, be may be OF bis
descent, he has no more love for the moth
or country or reverence for its institutions
than they have. On the soil of the new
world, peopled by the emigrants Of ours,
monarchical traditions never take root.
just as the Virginia royalists Of the Unit
ed States repudiated in the second genera
tion the loyalty OF their fathers and rose
In arms against England to conquer their
independence, SO the Spanish Americans
renounce the political faith Of their ances-
tors and shed their blood to free them
selves Of the yoke Of the mother country.
In language, in religion and in race Cuba
is Spanish. But her heart has ceased to
be Spanish, and in her own interest she
gravitates around that Irresistible pole Of
attraction, the great American republic.

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.

1t Is Said She Expects Trouble With Rus
sia and China.
DR.. s. Kobayashi, japanese surgeon
of Honolulu, whose father until recently
was surgeon general in the japanese army,
recently returned from visit to his home.
His family connections brought him into
intimate relations with men in power in
Japan. In an interview he gave some i'm
portant facts in regard to the intense war
feeling in Japan and the remarkable prep
arations making there for struggle with
China and Russia, which he believes is in
evitable. He said:
1.-THE Hawaiian immigration question,
which at one time promised trouble, has
been lost sight Of. Japan will never in
terfere with the annexation of the islands
TO the United States. In fact, think
such move would be welcomed by the
japanese ministry as Kidding il Of trou-
blesome question. The ministry, mobiles
and common people are united in regard
to the prospective war. Ever since the
Japan China war Japan has been prepar-
ing for struggle that will either wreck
her or leave her supreme in the orient.
Now the whole energies of the people are
bent on war preparations, and before
ielV hoihe ~ was ophouh'eu AZ otli@iai 04i
Giles that Japan was ready for the great
struggle
"She has an excellent navy, with expert
enced commanders, "a large and well dis
ciplined army and a treasury that will
stand heavy drain. All classes believe
that war cannot be averted, and they will
welcome it, as they believe Japan will
win. 1t will not surprise me to hear at
any time that war has been declared. p

To Conquer. II He Can.

I'd like TO sail the stormy food
Upon an armored bark
And spread the sea with Spanish blood
From morn till after dark.

And battle with my penl
I'll write Of our Nebraska crops,
Tell farmers when TO seed
And swipe the unrepentant Pops
According to their need.
And let the ones who howl for war
Bear arms 'gainst bleeding Spain,
Sustain the fac and spill their gore
Upon the raging main.
Safe sheltered in my modest den,
Here let me sit and smile
And strive to WELD the trenchant pen
In military style.
