HARRlNGTON's OPINION.
Believes War Between Russia and
Japan q Certainty.

Japan q Certainty.
Seattle, Dec. 26.-"War between
Russia and Japan may safely be counted
on as one of the Ger .ainties of tie near
future" said c W. Harrington, min
ing engineer just arrived from Vladi.
vostock by wav OF Yokohama. "The
English and American residents OF
Yokohama expect nothing else and the
outbreak may come almost any day.
cit will be naval contest at the
outset, and Japan will get the better of
that. The japanese navy lie not large,
but it is strictly up-to-date. The YES
sells ale nearly all new and consequent
ly of the most modern type, including
equipment. The officers are we'll train
ed in naval science, many of them hav-
ing been educated in the best naval
schools the world affords, and the Jap.
anese sailors are good fighters.
"The strength OF the Japanese navy
was amply demonstra ted in the war
with China few years ago, and it has
vastly improved since then. OF course
there is no comparison between the
Chinese and Russians as opponents, but
to my mind there is no question but
Russia will be worsted on the water
until she sends her entire navy around
Will Be on Continent.
"The stake being Chinese territory,
the struggle will necessarily be ulti-
mately transferred to the continent.
Manchuria and Korea will be fighting
ground, and on land the tremendous
numbers of the czar's army should
finally win out. The Russian army is
also considered to be of better quality
thans the navy 1t is ably Differed and
its men are equal to any fighters on
earth.'
Speaking further on the situation in
the far East from the standpoint of flu
ture map making, Mr.. Harrington said
that Indications point to still further
Russian domination of Chinese terrific
~ bordering on Siberia, but only after
a desperate resistance by the Japanese.
The latter, he said, have been pre-
pairing for the struggle for years. The
Russians have been doing the same,
but Russian preparations are confined
solely to military demonstrations to
the capture of strategic points; to the
erection of fortincations; the esta blish-
ment of bases of supplies and the con-
struction OF military roads.

GERMAN OPINION.
Foreign Office Believes England
will Help Japan.

Will Help Japan.
Berlin, Dec. 26.-The German for.
eign Office, in estimating the probable
tiles Of war in the far East, fixes its
attention at this moment ON Great
Britain rather than on Japan, for it is
recognizde that Japan is only waiting
for Great Britain to give the word be-.
fore bringing on hostilities. A new
and even portentios element in the sit
uation, as it is looked upon here, is the
rising feeling in Great Britain that
Russia must yield or Japan and Great
Britain must fight her.
The Associated Press learns from the
highest diplomatic source that the Ger
man government, while still refusing
to believe that war is certain, is con-
WINGED now that if war between Russia
and Japan comes Great Britain will
take part in it, because the British
government looks upon war as possibly
tho only means of saving or re-estab-
fishing her position in the far East.
Sir Frank Lascelles, the British am
bassador, who returned here from Eng.
land three days ago, is understood to
have impaired his impression unoffi-
cially to the foreign government that
the British cabinet apprehended that
war would result if Russia persists in
her present attitude toward Japan.
This expression of opinion by the am.
bassador was stripped of all suggestion
that Great Britain might participate,
but great significance is attributed to
1T. The leading financiers know moth
ing of any Russian overtures to float
loan of 1925, 100000 in Germany,
and the report to that effect published
in the Tageblatt in a dispatch from
st. Petersburg is regarded as unfounded

has changed the sailing orders of the
United States cable ship Burnside,
