The WAR IN the EAST.

Thirty-nine weeks OF war In the far
east have passed with both sides ap-
parently as determined as ever to con.
tinue hostilities. 1t has been d most
sanguinary conflict and thousands Of
lives have been sacrificed. 1t Ia hard
to realize what 1t Is all about. No
great principle as In our civil war OF
the war with Spain Is involved. This
present unfortunate situation had it's
origin in commercial greed and ag-
grandizement ON the part of Russia AMI
unnecessary alarm on the part of Jap
an.
Undoubtedly Japan believed her fu
ture aa a nation was seriously threat
ened by Russian encroachments, but
with Secretary Hays diplomacy secur-
Ing the open door in China and the
assurance forced from Russia that all
nations would be given equal privileges
with Russia in Manchuria the ears
aggression evidently had reached it's
limit. England and the other powers
OF Europe with the moral support of
Uncle Sam had only to say the word
and Russian encroachment would have
ended What IL Japan wins? VIII
she reap the fruits Of her victory?
Whether the terms Of peace are
dictated In Toxic or in the palace Of
the czar, 1t Is probable other great
powers will have hand in the settle
ment and Japan may never gain free
hand In Manchuria and Korea. Even
IL she does she must share Its trade
with other nations. Will 1t be worth
the price?

Locally, business has suffered from
the usual quiet just preceding an cleo

article in the visitors column for a
month. They are gathering a good
