If Japan. and vice-president Of the Inn
perial japanese commission to the St,
Louis exposition, Is here on his way
home In an interview published in
the Chronicle he Is quoted as follows
on the Russo-Japanese war situation;
The true cause OF the present war
is the eagerness Of the japanese 10
carry western civilization into the
orient--into ManchurIa and into China
proper. She feels It her duty to do
for the orient what America has done
for her.
The best way to do this was, she
thought, TO open the ports and other
cities OF Manchuria and Of China prop
to to the commerce Of the world,
She had no reason to expect con-
troyersy from Russia in accomplishing
this object She did not expect war,
but a peaceable settlement The world
Is familiar with the immediate occa-
sion OF the conflict
The fall Of Port Arthur will prob
ably not close the war, because It
may not settle the purpose Of the war
it may not convince Russia, By the
time the Russians get to Harbin It will
be time for Russia to be convinced
that she was wrong In case the Jap
anese win in this war they will not
treat Manchuria according to Russian
policy There are many possibilities,
but probably she will not make 1t a

MOTHER HAD A GOOD TIME
But the Example She Set Her Daugh-
ters Was Not of the
Best

There Is a cubwoman with two pretty
daughters who deserted her family one
Sunday night recently TO 20 to take tea
with couple Of girls whom she knew.
Now, having these giddy daughters she
has sort OF grown TO be regarded as
mother, but she Is really uncommonly
attractive. and the girls whom she went
to see and the young man who was also
taking tea with them had no idea OF
relegating their guest to any background
OF matroHhood. SO they laughed at her
intention Of going TO meeting" after
supper, and a jolly evening sped all too
quickly. relates the Baltimore Sun
Meanwhile mother" was being
missed at home The girls, going duti-
fully to church with their beanx. were
amazed not TO see their reyered parent
occupying her usual place in the pew.

church and stayed until II O'Clock and

will be done primarily to avoid inter

the effect Of reducing the Russian

possible capture of the vessels named
by the Japanese,

ments, that the Diana IS In a very bad
condition. She has one large hole in
her hull below the water line, Her In

would have permitted an extension OF
her sojGurn in neutral port beyond
tho 2i-hour limit, which expired Tues
day, but It Is foresecn that the repairs
would entail such stay al Saigon that
II Is possible that questions affecting
the neutrality Of the port would be
likely to arise and, therefore, Russia
is disposed to dlsarm the Diana, which
