Why RUSSIA HEsITArEs.

Harry de Windt the explorer. lee
turer, and correspondent Of the London
Daily News who a few days since lee
tured at the Friends School in this
city. says that he does not believe that
there viii be a war betweet Russia
and Japan in the immediate future
but that should It come he thinks
Japan would win. This is based on
wide knowledge resulting from years
of travel and observation in both coun-
tries.
The Japanese army Is thoroughly or
ganized and equipped It is differed
by brainy men who have had most
thorough modern military training.
These troops are concentrated and at
days notice could be in a position to
defend any point in the contested ter
ritory. They would not be remote
from their base Of supplies while their
battleships could defend every port in
the kingdom.
Contrast this with Russias position.
The distance between Eastern and
Western Russia is vast. Connecting
the two is one poorly constructed rail-
way with a limited rolling stock. II
would be impossible to transport a
great army, It's troops. horses, guns
ana equipment. over this road. Be
sides, most OF the provisions would
have to be sNit from Europe. Tc
march over the great plains. the des-
erts and the mountain ranges with al
the impedimenta of an army, is out OF
the question; and were war declared
now IL would require months and per-
haps years. for Russia to get ready fol
e. This probably accounts for Japan's
position; she is ready. while her great
antagonist is not and she chooses this
time TO secure assurance for the fu-
ture.
Besides, It is not thought possible
that war could continue for any
length OF time between these two pow.
ers without involving several of the
nations OF Europe particularly Eng.
land. She is in too delicate a position
and her influence extends over terri.
tory too near the seat of the difacult,
not TO be drawn into the quarrel There
seems TO be no doubt that under sucl
circumstances she would be obliged t,
send an army TO her frontiers, and Ger
tainly It would not be used to tn,
detriment of Japan. These are prob
ably the r1lsons that Russia appear
to hesitate But IL war comes. japan

General Reyes makes but two points,
The first Is that Colombia did not give
just offense Ia re.( citing the Hay-Her-
ran treaty and that with more time
she would have Joined I'm a satisfactory
treaty. The second is that the United
States prevented Colombia from exer-

elusive answer. Diplomacy has to be
courteous and respectful. The true
answer would not be-
Public opinion recognizes the truth

of asking the government to name a

lieve it would be well to keep this in

tention Of the Washington authorities
to the matter and some day it may
come to pass. 1t is not a question that
affects our material interests in any
way. but is purely one Of sentiment;
vet sentiment is worth something.
Some way Delaware" has come to
be common name in this country.
First. Of course. comes its use TO deslg-
nate our state. Then a great bay and
noble river bear It. There was a great
tribe Of Indians called by It, There are
towns. one Of them the seat of a col
lege, known by it. It is used as part
OF the name Of one great railroad and
Of two canals. A dozen OF the largest
cities have honored it by using It to
designate great avenues, and dozens
OF corporations. both in and out Of our

MoRE PoLIcs IMPeRATIVE.

The urgent demand for an increase
in our police force is a matter that
cannot be put aside on the pretext Of
economy. II we haven't enough money
to protect our homes our wives ana
children, we had as well so out of
business and confess our inability to
govern ourselves. This is not like an
ordinary expenditure; it is a necessity.
The Police Commission favors it; we
understand that Mayor Bird approves
st. and the demand is backed by a
great petition from persons vitality in
terested. The inadequacy Of the force,
particularly in the outlying districts
IS SO well known that the criminals
have found it out and have turned Il
TO their advantage one result OF
this is that families find their posi-
ton in the suburbs uncomfortable and
are moving into the heart OF the city;
and as consequence the property in
the outskirts has lost something In
value.
Now when streets are opened by the
city and houses are built in conse-
qnence and taxes are laid on the inn
provemonts. the people have a full
right to demand protection; and safe
guards TO life and property come as
tho first consideration. There are moi
enough officers for the central dis
tricts. leaving out OF consideration
those on the outskirts We are aware
that Council is short Of funds, and :
IS possible that the tax rate will have
to be increased. but this is not a mat
ter that admits Of trining or delay.
