FEAR OF NEW ALIGNMENT of RACES
is CHIMERICAL, SAYS TAKAHlRA.

New York. March 1.-Under the title,
why Japan Resists Russia Mr. Taxa
hira. the japanese Minister at Washing
ton. discusses the causes OF the present
conflict in the forthcoming number Of the
North American Review.
Mr.. Takahira points out the grounds
for his Governments belief that Russia's
encroachments in the far East were a
menace to Japan, inasmuch as the abb
sorption of Manchuria meant "the inevl-
table sequence of such action, the absorp-
ton OF Korea"
After explaining in some detail the
events that led up to the war, he says:
There Is no foundation for the belief
that japan was prompted to war by am
bition, or that her success, IL happily she
be successful. implies any danger to other
nations. To thoughtful Japanese there
can be no greater cause for wonder. than
the conjecture whether their country's
success may not be the precursor OF a
new alignment of races. Oriental on the
one side, Caucasian on the other.

"oLDEsT MAN IN THE WORLD"
Claimed to Have Been Born April
/, 1772.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New Brunswick. n. J., March 1.-Noah
Raby. said to be the Oldest man in the
world. died at the Piscataway Poor Farm
at $50 o'clock this morning. Raby's rec
ord, which has been well substantiated,
shows that he would have been 132 years
OF age on April 1 next.
According to his story, Raby was born
April /, 1772, at Eatontown, Gates County,
N. C. 1t was a Crown colony, so Raby
was born a subject Of King George III,
four years before the Declaration of In
dependence was penned. His mother was
Morning Raby and his father Henry
Bass, an Indian.
Raby showed marked traces Of his In
dian descent In his face. He lived in
North Carolina until he was q years of
age, when he went to Virginia, and after
working in various places enlisted in the
United States Navy.
His first service was on the famous ship
Constitution. After eighteen months spent
aboard her he was transferred to the
Brandywine and went on several long
cruises. In 1909 he was honorably dis
charged.
Noah smoked and chewed tobacco all
his life, beginning at the age OF 10. At one
time he was heavy drinker.

PERMANENcE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.

Many so-called pile remedies will AFFORD
the user slight temporary relief. and the
majority of sufferers do not expect more
than this. Women especially. after having
tried every preparation recommended for
the cure of Piles. have come to the con-
clusion that there is no cure except by an
operation. This Is rightfully viewed with
dread, because OF the shock to the delicate
nervous system OF women. and many OF
those afflicted have resigned themselves
to the situation with never a thought that
there is any help in sight for them.
We invite the attention of all such to the
experience OF the lady whose address ts
