London; Evidence Of less appre-

believe that the rapid capitalization

may result III an adjustment of the

The fact is well recognized that the
Anglo-Japanese alliance identifies this
country so closely with the interests
OF Japan in respect to Russia's larger
ambitions in the far East that any

dangers British tranquility. Herein Is
found the secret of the activity OF
King Edward and his advisers for the
