Takahira on Causes of War

NEW YORK, March Under the
title why Japan Resists Russia" Ia
kahira, the Japanese Minister at Wash
ington, discusses the causes of the
present conflict in the forthcoming
number of the North American Review.
Takahira points out the grounds for
his Governments belief that Russia g
encroachments in the Far East We're a
menace to Japan, inasmuch as the alb
sorption OF Manehuria meant the I'm
evitable sequence of such action-tha
absorption of Korea" After explaining
in some detail the events that led up
to the war he says:
There is no foundation for the be-
lief that Japan was prompted TO war
by ambition or that her success, if hap
PLY she be successful, implies any dan
ger to other nations. To thoughtful
japanese there can be no greater cause
for wonder than the conjecture whether
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-03-14

their country's success may not be the
precursor of a new alignment of races,
Oriental on the one side, Caucasian on
the other. To them it seems no more
than chimerical dream, a suggestion
of memories of the age of Genghis
Khan, impossible of achievement in
these better days of intimate inter-
course and mutual interdependence
among all nations.
Let me add also that those who en-
deavor to attach some measure of re-
proach to Japan by characterizing this
as a war between a Christian and
nom Christian country fail utterly to
appreciate the efforts of my country
men to conform to the spirit as we'll as
to the practices of modern civilization.
Freedom of religious belief is as fully
guaranteed in Japan as it is in any
country in the world, and 1 speak with
no thought of self-laudation or of in
vidious comparison when / express the
belief that rectitude of thought and
conduct would be as fully exemplifed
by the actions of my countrymen dur
ing the present struggle as by those of
their adversaries. Assured of the JUS
tice of our cause, yet not DESTROYS of

edge. We do feel that we have the right

Alexeief's Boldness.

Admiral Alexeieff, Russian Viceroy
of the Far East, owed his first command
Of a ship to some prompt advice he
rendered the Russian Admiralty during
the Penjdeh affair. He had landed at
San Francisco after a turn of patrol
duty on the Siberian coast. when he
learned the situation was critical. 1t
was a time when few subaltern officers
would have dared to approach the Min
lister Of the Navy even by cablegram;
but AleXeieff was nothing if not bold
and he cabled: why not employ me to
buy commerce destroyers to prey upon
British commerce2" The answer ran,
Excellent suggestion, but no time.
War matter of hours, not days" He
was not to be put off, and telegraphed
again. Let me try The answer was,
Try" Alexeieff tried, and within ten
days, with the ample funds that were
cabled for his purpose, he had purchas-
ed eight swift steamers in the United
States. The war cloud blew over, and
when Alexeieff returned TO St. Peters
burg he was patronized by the Admiral
~, given the command of a ship, and
promoted admiral in three years. Since
then he has dwelt much in the Far
East, earning reputation of sticking
at nothing. and carrying out the orders
of his Imperial master to the very last.

JAPANESE WILL.
GET MORE BEEF

The cargo of mess beef for the Rus
sian army carried out of this port by
the steamer Coptic will probably fall
into the hands of the Japanese, as did
the cargo carried by the Korea. A
week ago it was stated that the 300
tons of beef on the Coptic had escaped
seizure owing to the fact that it had
been taken through to Shanghai. Now
cabIegrafns have been sent out to the
Orient by officials of the Occidental
and Oriental Steamship Company or
dering that the beef discharged at
Shanghai be again loaded on the Cop
tic and taken to Nagasah.
The Coptic left here before the out
break of war, and her consignment of
beef was billed for Port Arthur, to be
discharged at Nagasaki for tranship-
ment When the Coptic arrived at
Nagasaki japan was on the verge OF
war and the beef was taken on TO
Shanghai. Upon learning of the fact,
the officials of the company here order
ed the beef to be discharged at the
port designated on the Coptic's clear
ance papers. as to put the shipment off
at any other port without further con-
signment would be a violation of the
laws of commerce. The beef is now
on its way to Nagasaki. if it has not
already reached that port.-Examiner.

MEN WHO GO
TO WATCH WAR

! Colonel Enoch II. Crowder and Cap
military attaches to the japanese army,
were through passengers on the Doric
en- route to Yokohama. Col. Crowder
is the Judge-Advocate of the United
eral staff. The two officers will be
joined in Toxic by other United States
officers, among them being Captain
Reichmann, well known in Honolulu.
who was with the Boer army.
The officers are sent to learn the art
of war as developed by the Japanese,
and they will observe all methods, 50
that the United States army may profit
by them.
On leaving West Point Colonel Crow
der went into the Eighth Cavalry, since
which time he has advanced to his
present high position. In 1895 he was
appointed judge advocate and went to
the Philippines as soon as the war
broke out Then he became an Asso-
ciate Judge of the Supreme Court. He
was afterward made military secretary
under General e. S. Otis. He framed
the laws that We're promulgated during
the military administration, and was
chief adviser in legal matters pertain
ing to the ownership of the different
properties on the islands. Colonel
Crowder's knowledge of the law was of
great value to the officials at the time
they were attempting to introduce the
civil government. Colonel Crowder was
the author of the Criminal Code, which
is still the code of the islands. In June,
1901 he was made a brigadier general of
volunteers as a reward for his services.
Colonel CroSvder continued to act as
Judge advocate until the Philippine
Commission took full charge, on July
1901 when he returned to this coun-
try He is now senior colonel of the
judge advocates court at Washington.
During the war in South Africa when
the Beers made a complaint to our
Government that the British Govern
ment had established a military camp
at Port Chalmette, ten miles from New
Orleans, for the purpose of purchasing
Colonel Crowder was sent to investi-
gate. His report to the President was
to the effect that while officers of the
British army were buying horses at
that point there had been no violation
of the neutrality laws. The incident
aroused much comment in this country
among the sympathizers of the Beers.
