STUDENT
REVIEWS THE ISSUES
WAR WILL DECIDE

ALAMEDA, Feb. S.-Kisatsuchi
Koda, a Japanese graduate of the Uni
versity Of California and of Stanford
University, addressed the Unitarian
Club last night on The Present Crisis
in the Orient" In the course of his
lecture he said:
The bloody contest now being waged in the
Far East is ike that of giant and a small
bow but whatever the outcome Of the struggle
between the great northern bear and the little
island fox Russia should not be permitted 20
cruelty the peace and happiness Of 500 0OO 900
people upon the cross of autOcratic territorial
on is fraught with the greatest importance to
the nations OF the world Japan has been eX-
pecting and preparing for this trouble for the
last decade
There is no doubt that Russia's geographical
situation is responsible for her political policy
of territorial expansion She wants outlet

through Siberia. where the ports are so often
closed to commerce by the cold Russia. in
pursuance OF this plan. has been steadily work
ing along the line OF least resistance and that
is how she has obtained a hold in Korea. This
last move Of the Russians IS dangerous to the
life Of the Japanese empire and the struggle
now waging will determine whether the Slavic
race or the AnglO-SaXOn policy eNemplihed
BY England and the United States and followed
by Japan will direct the destiny Of the nations
OF Asia
In Japan the common people see only the
racial prejudice as a reason for the war with
Russia but the statesmen OF the Mikado's
dominion realize that the continued independ-
ence OF Korea is necessary to insure the future
independence OF Japan

CAPTURE OF PORT
ARTHUR BY JAPAN'S
FORCES Is CERTAIN

PARIS, Feb 1S.-An eminent military
authority connected with one of the
embassies said to-day that Port
Arthur was practically besieged. and
1t was serious question whether this
would not compel either the abandon
ment or the surrender of the fortress.
with its men and material The
grounds for this belief were stated to
be as follows:
Admiral Togos ships, on watch at
the entrance of the port, prevent in
gress or egress, thus establishing a
virtual blockade and cutting off the
chances of relief from seaward. The
japanese troops near Newchwang and
other points on the Liaotung penin-
sula are able to interrupt the railroad
forming a line of communication and
supplies between Port Arthur and Har-
bin. The result is the gradual inves-
titure of Port Arthur within the Jap
anese naval and military lines. 1t will
require bold action on the part of
the Russian forces to prevent the
final accomplishment of the investiture
and the slow reduction of Port Arthur.

DECLARE THEY WERE

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The Japanese

cable dispatch received from Toxic as
follows:
"A number of Japanese refugees from
Port Arthur, who arrived recently at
Chefu on board the British steamship
Wenchow, give in the form of a diary
an account of their treatment while
at Port Arthur as follows:

roy Alexieff ten bags of rice and some

GAR MAY ABANDON
SOUTHERN MANCHURIA
TO THE JAPANESE

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Little far eastern
news appears in the press this morn
ing, with the exception of official dis
patches, and the comment is made
that the official reports of Viceroy
AleXieff and others are remarkable
mostly for what they leave unsaid.
These reports attract far less attention
than does the significantly frank Rus
sian proclamation asking the people to
be patient until the army is ready TO
strike blows worthy of the dignity and
might of Russia. The threats in this
document are commented upon by the
British press in tones of considerable
irony.
It is now believed both in London and
on the continent that Niceroy AleXieff
has decided to falf back on Harbin,
practically abandoning Port Arthur,
NladivOstok and the whole Of South
ern Manchuria to the Japanese, and
that he, perhaps, is hoping that the
reduction of Port Arthur and Nladivo-
stok Will occupy the enemy while he
is concentrating his forces at Harbin.
According to the Toxic correspondent
Of the Daily Mall the Emperor of
Japan has declared his intention Of CIV
ing the treasures of the palace to the
Bank of Japan for the purpose of the
war fund. other dispatches from Toxic
confirm the great success of the inter-
national war loan.
The correspondents of the Times and
Daily Telegraph at Toxic unite in an
nouncing the resumption of the Jap
anese coasting trade, and confirm pre-
vious reports that the Russian cruiser
Boyarin was sunk during the attack
on Port Arthur on February IA. Some
correspondents say the warship in
question was the cruiser Bayan, and
not the Boyarin.
A military correspondent of the
Times asks whether the Russian proc
lamation portends a repetition of Rus
sia's policy of 1912 and the waging of
a war of exhaustion. He thinks this
proclamation can have no other mean
ing, unless it was concocted deliber-
ately for deception or written with
the knowledge that the Manchurian
railroad is wrecked already.
yet this seems madness" the cor
respondent continues, because if the
Russian army stood still while Japan
was reducing the two great fortresses
at Port Arthur and Vladivostok Russia
would become the laughing stock of
Europe and the mock of Asia
