JAPANS Fighting CHANGES
FAR FROM BEING HOPELESS

Of man who was there and made
that there were $4,000. Reports from
an apparently reliable source are to
the effect that the Russians have at
Port Arthur only sufficient coal to
supply their warships for month.
That is hardly enough to carry them
through war.
Japan has more than an even
chance Of victory at sea. An army
of 100000 could be landed on the
mainland without reducing the home
defense to the danger point. The sol :
diers would live on rice and fish. In
sustaining them Japan would, there
fore, have no such problem as would
confront Russia. In China, during
the Boxer outbreak, the Japanese sol
diers compared favorably, in conduct,
discipline and efficiency, in camp, on
the march and under fire, with the
best of the soldiers of other coun-
tries participating in that campaign.
whether the other great nations
would be involved in the war is, at
this time, purely matter of guess
work. No man can tell just what
conditions would be brought about
by the beginning of hostilities. Eng
land would be bound, by a treaty
signed with Japan January 80, 1909,
to assist Japan IL the latter should be
opposed by any power in addition to
Russia in the war. France would be
bound to help Russia if any nation
went to the assistance of the Jap
anese. Germany is friendly to Rus

It Now Looks As If War Is Inevitable, for Both Nations
Are Pushing Preparations for the Great Clash
Russia's Strength Greatly Overestimated

"Japan's army would be operating
only a few miles from its base Of
supplies. The Russians would be
1900 miles from home, with single
track railroad as the only means OF
communication. That line Is spoken
of as the Great Siberian railroad,
just as though it were something
like a four-track New York Central
extending from st. Petersburg to the
Pacific. 1t Is. in fact, not only a
single-track line, but the construc-
ton is of the most fiimsy description.
The work was done hurriedly and
poor material was used that there
might be plenty of money left for
corrupt officials. The rails are lighter
than those used in modern railroad
construction, and the bridges are in
secure Trains may be run only at
the rate of IS miles an hour. The
difficult problem in war is not so
much to get men to the front, but to
feed them.

that the Siberian railway, operated
under usual conditions, will not be
able to transport to Manchuria sup

Escaped
Death

Mrs. j. w. Pritchard. who, with
her husband. conducts a second hand
store, 06o9 Monroe street. had a re-
markable escape from horrible death
last evening. While driving on Main
avenue west Of Monroe street bridge
Mrs. Pritchard's horse became fright
ened and started to back up. The
road few yards beyond the bridge
is very narrow and on the riverside
runs parallel to cliff. So narrow IL
the. roadway that not once in 10
times could an expert driver turn a
wagon the length of the one driven by
Mrs. Pritchard around. Yet the
horse, though urged to 'go ahead, al
most miraculously made a complete
turn in the road. doing no damage.
The wheels of the wagon left their
trail on the very brink of the cliff.
Several inches were all that saved
Mrs. Pritchard from tragic death on
the rocks below.

GIRLS

Mabel Hart and Lille Oliver two
girls who worked in the o. K concert
hall before box rustling was done
away with, were arrested last night
on a warrant sworn out by Madge
Edmonson. The girls are charged by
Miss Edmonson with stealing a
pocketbook containing $3.50 in
money and ring worth SIS. The
pocketbook was valued at $40.
Lille Oliver, one of the girls ar
rested, says that she and Mabel Hart
were in a dry goods store on Sprague
avenue yesterday afternoon and when
leaving there started for their room
in the Alki block. Before / got into
the room,' Miss Oliver said, "a young
lady came up and accused me of taxi

court this afternoon and was con-
tinued until Monday and the defend

OF course only union-made stuff will
be kept.
The proposition, as thus far out
liLed, is to have 1000 members Of the
unions of the city go down into their
pockets and put up IS each for stock
in the concern. This will let them
start off with a capital of $4,000,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-There
now seems to be no longer hope that
war will be avoided between japan
and Russia. Japan is modifying her
troops as rapidly MS possible and
Russia, while making all kinds of
pacific declarations, Is making oil the
haste that she can for the coming
clash, which now seems inevitable.
The Japanese in war, according to
some of the military authorities here,
would be as startling a revelation as
were the Beers. The latter displayed
the highest possible efficiency as a
fighting force under the conditions
that prevailed In South Africa. The
Japs, It Is believed, would make the
same sort Of record in war on a
large scale.
There is a general impression that
in Il fight to a flush between Russia
and Japan alone the Japanese would
in the end be obliged 10 yield to
superior force The islanders. how

lieve they would have chance TO
win. One of them said. in discuss

times that number would be required
to subdue the Japanese. Besides,
feel safe in saying that in the event
of war the Russians would find con-
ditions for the operation of their rail-
road decidedly unusual. The Japan
csc could be depended upon to blow
up enough bridges to make traffic
uncertain. ..+.....,,.,
1T is probable that the Russians
have vast stores of food at Port Ar
thur. With even fair. degree of
success for Japan's navy and army,
however. those stores might be rem
dered unavailable except for the
force actually occupying the Port Ar
thur fortifications. .....
TT has been said that Russia has
200. 900 troops In Manchuria. There
Is every reason to believe that the
number has been grossly. exagger-
ated. An example of the efforts made
to give a false impression of Russia s
strength in that region was afforded
some time ago, when Admiral Alexi-
eff reviewed the Russian forces at
Port Arthur. A report was sent out
to the world that there were $4,000
soldiers at the review. The evidence

employees to work until p m. and
on Saturdays until 12 p. m, which
the union shop proprietors say puts
them to a decided disadvantage.
Hence the trouble. The union shops
want to force the parpers to work
the same hours as do these of the
non-union. 1t is expected the matter
will be put before the trades council
next Tuesday night and the union
may make some concessions.
