WHERE JAPAN is STRONGER.
]. S. Fassett Says Japanese Can
Beat Russians Man for Man.

J. Sloat Fassett of Elmira, who has
Travelled in Korea and who is now
interested in mining properties there,
speaking recently in regard to Russian
and Japanese facilities for getting to
strategic points, said:
1.-The Russians at present have 2OO,-
600 troops scattered about railroads
connecting with Manchuria and about
10000 in the territory covered by the
railroads leading from Vladivostok.
Japan, with her reserve forces, has an
available army of 100000. Japan's or
sanitation for moving and sustaining
troops, as was illustrated in the march
on Picking, is vastly superior to the
russian organization. Japan could
place 100000 troops at any point in
Korea. and for that matter at any
point in Manchuria not contiguous to
the railroad, more quickly and in bet
ter condition than could Russia.
so far as naval strength is con-
cerned, the japanese navy is of about
the same tonnage and strength as that
part of the Russian navy in oriental
waters, but the discipline and general
condition of the japanese navy are con-
sidered superior to the Russian navy.
The japanese soldiers and sailors, man
for man. can do harder work on less
food and under more trying circum-
stances than can the Russians.
at is a question of life and death
with Japan. She cannot afford, with
long gIances toward the future, to have
Russia in possession or control of Ko-
rea. On the other hand, Russia, hav-
ing expended a billion dollars on her
Siberian railroad for the purpose of
getting an outlet by water, will never
rest content until she has terminus to
that railroad or more than one terminus
free from ice all the year. Though she
has constructed a port at Dalny, the
breakwaters to protect it have result
ed in blocking the port with ice during
part of the year. Russia must go
farther south, and in order to gain
her object must take possession Of Ko-
rea or of China as far south as Chefu,
which would bring her dangerously
near the English at Weihaiwei and the
Germans at Kiaochou.
1.-THE situation is not one in which
Japan and Russia only are parties In
interest. England, France, Germany
and the United States have vital inter
ests. for the whole question is one of
the mastery Of the Pacific and control
of future commercial positions. y

UNDER STRESS OF SUMMONS
Treasurer Hall Testified in Case of
LeeSburg Postmaster.

The News having published from
the Macon Telegraph an article con-
corning the alleged defalcation of
Postmaster Pettis of Lessburg which
called forth a card from Treasurer D.
d, Hall of Lee county, we take pleas
ure in publishing that gentleman
statement. 1t follows:
"To the Editor of the Telegraph,
Macon, Ca My attention has been
called to an article in your issue of the
9th in reference to my testimony be-
fore United States Commissioners Err
win in the case against Mr.. D. A. Pet
tbs, assistant postmaster at this place.
The article says: The treasurer of
Lee county, Mr.. d. D. Hall, came up
for the purpose of making bond for
Mr.. sPettis, and he testified to the
christian character of the postmaster
This is not true. | went up to Macon
under stress of summons by the dep
uty marshal, Mr.. Riley. and the ques-
ton as to Mr.. Pettis' christian charac-
ter was never asked or mentioned by
anyone. They simply questioned me
as to my transaction with the money
order department of the Office. Mr..
Pettis makes no pretentions to christi.
anity, and such statement of my testi.
mony is unjust to me. The bond was
made by two gentlemen here, who sent
letters by me saying they would make
the bond. and have done so. Please
give this as prominent place in your
paper as you did the other article.
Yours very truly, D. D. HALL"
