THAT WILL BE WAR"
Authoritative Announcement of the
Position Of Japan.

Position Of Japan.
PARIS, Feb. 5.-An interview pub
lished here with Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese minister to Great Britain,
has attracted marked attention, par
ticularly his declarations that unless
Russia signs a treaty carrying out
JapanS demands war will result, and
also his statement that Japan desires
to be left alone and will object to any
Intervention from Great Britain tend
ing towards inducing the acceptance of
Russia's reply.
One Of the officials in touch with
Foreign Minister Delcasse said that if
this interview was genuine, as it
seemed to be, it was Of the highest
moment, as being an indication Of the
warlike attitude Of the Japanese gov
eminent.
Baron Hayashi, besides reiterating
his former published statements that
Japan will insist on a signed treaty
recognizing China's rights in Man
churia, is quoted as saying:
If Russia refuses this treaty we will
fight"
rs your government unalterably de-
termined on this course?" the minister
was asked.
Absolutely" he is said to have re-
piled. 1--WE will not take promises.
Too many promises have been broken
and now we insist upon a signed
treaty.
The interviewer then asked:
suppose RusSia'S answer is concili-
atory and reasonable, but refuses to go
to the extent of signing the treaty you
desire, will your government then have
recourse to arms?
THAT is precisely what mean" re-
piled the minister.
IF the Zinc ~
asks Japan not to make war" con-
tinued the interviewer. "and requests
her to accept Russias reply, what will
Japan do?'
We shall greatly object to such in
prevention, even coming from the king.
We desire to be left alone in our duel
with Russia. We do not want support
or assistance. We desire to settle our
own account with Russia"
Then you say that if Russia refuses
to sign treaty recognizing China's
rights IN Manchuria that means WARP"
THAT will be war;" replied the min
lister.
Baron Hayashi added to the forego-
ing that he believed it to be the view
or his government and that authority
has been given him to announce it.
PARIS, Feb. 6.-The London CORE
spondent of the Matin says that he
mas submitted to Baron Hayashi a
translation published in a London
evening newspaper of the interview
with the minister printed here in the
Mat1n, and which was cabled to the
United States. Baron Hayashf de-
clared that the Matin correspondent
had faithfully reproduced his utter
ances, and that he was ready to re-
peat them.

NO INQUEST
Over FOLLY

Coroner =. l.. Smith has decided
that an inquest over the remains of

Folly was engaged in the grocery

becoming respondent over business re-
verses he took his life. He left home
yesterday morning in good spirits and
told his wife he would return for
lunch. He did so but complained of a
violent headache. He returned to the
city and after making his will, in which
he left everything to his wife, he rent
ed room in the Odgers building and
at Pas O'Clock p. IN. sent a bullet
through his heart DR.. w. II. Odds
was called but pronounced the man
beyond recovery. The remains were
taken to Smith g. Cos. undertaking
parlors.
Coroner Smith visited the wife of the
dead man this morning in order to
learn something more of the affair, but
Mrs. Folly was so overcome with grief
that the doctor refrained from ques-
tioning her. No date has been set for
the funeral.

Use SOLVES
THE PROBLEM

J The Wilson avenue trouble has beer
settled by Contractor Use and the
board Of public works. A conference
was held with the property owners OF
two lots on the lower side Of Wilson
avenue, who claimed that if the street
was graded according to the plans OF
the contractor that their property
would be valueless. Mr.. Use has
bought the lots in question at his own
expense and the work will now be
carried on as planned by him.
Extend the wall.
The large wall which is now about
100 feet in length will be extended
about so feet further ON Huron street
and will prevent all danger of the Riv-
erside bank falling. The lots bought
by Mr.. Use have a 50-foot frontage
on Wilson avenue and 20 feet on Huron
street.
Trouble has existed between the
board of public works and property
owners on Wilson avenue for the past
six Years. Quicksand was encountered
by Mr.. Use about two weeks ago in
grading the street and work was dis
continued. The bank below Riverside
avenue threatened to cave unless the
wall was continued. About $4,000 more
than the contract of Mr. Use called
for, or $4,000, has been expended and
the work is not yet finished.
