The Oriental Situation.
Diplomacy Of Russia and Japan Comes
to a Deadlock.

to a Deadlock.
Russia and Japan are still reported
t. be on the verge Of war. 1t is still.
however, doubtful whether some com
promise may not be reached. If either
country can see It's way clear to peace
with honor, there is no doubt that this
end Will be sought. Neither Russia
nor Japan is as eager for war as
readers of the news may be inclined to
think Russia Is not entirely pre-
pared for such a struggle. involving.
as 1t may, the interests of European
countries as well as those of japan.
and Japan fully recognizes the risks
she would take in the event of actual
bostiities. 1t should not be inferred.
however, that Japan is playing mere
game of bluff. She is IN earnest. ana
rather than submit to conditions which
threaten her independence. she will
fight, but she viii not fight for any
less reason.
The Russian proposition. providing
for the creation of a neutral zone"
including a third of Korea. reminds
enc Of the preliminary negotiations
for the partition of Poland. Russian
diplomacy does not consider the pa
triotism of a small nation as worth
much attention, and the feelings of
the Koreans in the matter are not
taken into account Japan. on the
contrary, would, if assuming the po-
si'lon of protector of Korea. pursue
policy which would probably in
course of time attach the Koreans to
LEI. 1t Is to the interests of Japan 10
preserve the independence of Korea
so far as any outside interference is
concerned. She is formulating a sort
o. Monroe Doctrine to suit the occa-
sion.
But one thing must not be overlook
cd IN the consideration of war or the
chances Of war in the Far East. Both
the japanese and the Russian govern
ments are actuated more by considera-
tons of craftsmanship and the ulti-
mate interests OF their respective
countries tLan by any other motive.
The state of popular feeling plays a
much smaller part IN this affair than
i would in a situation of the same
kind between England ana France,
for example. 1t would be impossible
Tor japanese popular sentiment, now
ever red-hot, to force the government

know little, and care less about affairs
IN the Orient. Thus it is possible for
the diplomats of the two countries to
work out the problem with the care

this country into war whether the

Tendency Of the Times

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier to pre-
vent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented bv the use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from cold or from AN attack
of influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grip in recent years, and can be re-
lied. upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by Forsyth Drug
