Japan's conflict with and victory over
China several years ago has given her ex-

for the inevitable war with Russia, in the
opinion of Tuseno Takahashi, formerly of
Toxic, and now of Chicago.
AS citizen Of Japan and then Of the
United States Mr.. Takahashi has watched
the Entertainments of Russia with the
feeling that war must break out at any
time and he feels that Russian diplomacy
can not much longer protect her in he,

When the war does come he believes
that Japan will receive at least the mora,
and possibly the financial support Of Grea1
Britain and that the Japanese army anc
navy will give good accounting Of them.
