oquent Addresses on the Work of the Society
and on the Japanese-Russian War Heard by
Cultured Audience at the Opera House.
M. NJ. Scott, Rev. Geo. L. Pearson, Dr.. N.
Russel and Walter G. Smith the Speakers.

Before an audience OF interested and
intelligent people, the aims and bene-
fits of the Red Cross League, its work
and the humanity of the japanese peo-
pie in the Japan China war. and the
question of the real belligerents in the
present war with Russia were elo-
quently treated at the Hawaiian Opera
House last evening. The japanese were
present in large numbers. hut they
were outnumbered by the American
residents of Honolulu. The various
addresses were heard with much en-
thusiasm. the geisha dances intersrers-
ed helping to keep up the interest OF
the audience to the very last. Alto
gether it was a meeting which did
much to advance the cause of the jap
anese Red Cross League in Honolulu
and to give a better understanding of
the present difficulties IN the Far East.
MEETING OPENED.
Professor NJ. NJ. Scott presided at the
meeting. introducing the speakers.
'gThe impulse to relieve suffering is
peculiar to no nation or people or re-
ligion," said Professor Scott. Indeed
I must say that the right and wrong
is not taken into consideration at all.
The humane man relieves suffering
without inquiring as to whether or not
the cause is just Especially in war
there are always two sides. which is
right or wrong is a mere matter OF
opinion. The impulse is to relieve hu-
man suffering wherever it is found,
indeed the only thing tnaf relieves the
barbarism of war is this humane inn
pulse.''
Mr.. Scott spoke of the work Of the
Red Cross in behalf of humanity, and
said that the society appealed for con-
tributions to help along its labors. He
uted to the Japanese Red Cross Society
would be rightfully spent and sent to
the theatre of war to be used for the
relief of the suffering of the wounded
of Russia as well as Japan. This move
ment appealed to all the tenderness
in humanity, to contribute to the re-
lief of the suffering necessarily incident

to the war. The means could be given
wards one participant OF the other, for
| the money would be used for the aid OF
both combatants.
NO DANGER IN JAPAN.
Mr.. Scott said he had been requested
to speak of another matter. that all
who contemplated a trip to Japan dur
ing the summer or winter. could be
assured that the war would not pre-
vent their travelling In Japan. The
scene of war, he stated, was as far
from Yokohama and other points of in
terest in Japan, as Honolulu is-from
California. From present evidences"
concluded Prof Scott, 'it is rash to
suppose that the theatre of war win
be brought to Japan
Mr.. Scott announced that owing to
slight indisposition Mr.. p. c. Jones
would be unable TO speak. Rev G. l..
Pearson was then introduced as the
first speaker.
MR.. PEARSON'S ADDRESS.
Mr.. Pearson, in opening. said that he
supposed he was to have been the last
speaker instead of the first, and he
didn't know what kind of an animal
would result, with the tail where the
head should be. He related several
interesting Incidents one of the negro
soldier who In the civil war told Gem
eral Lee that he escaped being shot,
by remaining where the generals were.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson said that he was
reminded by the gathering of Amer
leans, Frenchmen, Japanese and CHI
nese, with one common impulse. OF the
growing brotherhood of man. There is
a unity OF nations as never before on
earth. The ties which bound these ma
tions and communities, Mr.. Pearson
said, were the railroads, which stretch-.
ed from one end of the earth to the
other, steamships which united coun-
tries by carrying people and COM
modities, and telegraph wires and ca
bles which assisted in forming a net
work all over the world. Religion,
business and society all aided in bring
ing men together in common sym
pathy. This increase in the idea OF
brotherhood had spread to all nations.
Formerly China, Korea and even Japan
tried to live by themselves. but they
are awakening to the influence Of the
outside world, particularly Japan. Now
the eyes of the whole worl@ are turned
toward the struggling nations, await
ing results. and guarding their own
interests The troubles of one people
may affect nation on the other side
