TO KEEP IT FOR ALL TIME.
Japanese Will Hold Port Arthur
They Capture Fortress.

Toxic, June 2.-If successful in cap
turing Port Arthur Japan intends to
hold that fortress perpetually. The
authorities regard the possession OF
that commanding possession as an i'm
perial strategic necessity.
They contend that Japan's title to
the stronghold, when it shall receive
the sanction of another bloody sacri-
flee, will be valid beyond cayil. The
world is expected to acquiesce without
the remotest fear that the Toxic gov
ernment will use the fortress other
wise than as an instrument for insur-
ing Japanese safety and, therefore, the
political and social stability of the Far
East
Japanese statesmen declare that in
ternational commerce and civilization
must be defended in the China seas
and that Japan stands in closer rela-
tionship to tha<, great responsibility,
than does any other power capable OF
fulfilling the role. 1t Is their earnest
wish that the Japanese shall aspire
to accomplish this work in harmony
with the desires Of the fair minded
nations.
