1t is a conflict Of civilizations. Korea
will either fall under the slow NOV

it means much more than for Russia:

There is a curious difference between
the Japanese public and private declar-
atiOns concerning Korea. Publicly they
profess to desire the preservation OF

Fighting for
It's Life. !
Growth Compels
Acquisition Of
Territory.
BY OSCAR KING DAVIS.
Special War Correspondent of The Call.

TOXIC, Jan. SO-To understand fully
the critical situation in which japan
now finds herself one must go back
into her history for many years. I'm
doubtedly Russia's action in depriving
her of the fruits of her victory over
the Chinese in the war of 1S94-5 has
done much to crystalline among the
Japanese people the hatred which now
longs to find expression in armed ac-
ton. But the ultimate cause lies much
deeper.
For 1000 years Japan has been inti-
matelv associated with or concerned in
Korea. Many of her people came from
the hermit kingdom. Her instruction
in the Buddhist religion was given by
Koreans. The beginnings Of her civ
ilization were Korean. Subsequently
when she outgrew her preceptor she
conquered Korea and enforced tribute.
Now she IS the mentor and Korea the
pupil. In sentiment and in religion
their ties are strong. Japan feels that
if there is to be any development of
the Korean peninsula in the ways OF
modern civilization 1t must come
through her agency Moreover, a mat
ter of military necessity, the very life
of the nation depending upon it, Korea
must either be preserved in her lnteg-
rity and independence or come under
Japanese influence completely, If not
into Japanese possession.
But as long ago as 1882 the watchful
Japanese saw Russia beginning to
move toward Korea. Even then she
realized what that might mean, and
she warned Russia that there must be
no encroachment by her upon the Ko-
rean peninsula. Russia smiled and dis
claimed in the usual way. Even then
Japan was beginning to feel the press
of increasing population. Now her
yearly increase is in the neighborhood
of SOC. 900. Her territory is occupied al
most to the limit. Only one island,
Hokkaido in the north, yet affords an
outlet to her thronging people, and
every year from $4,000 to $4,000 of them
find new homes there. Already the
limit is in sight. There must be an
other outlet.
When the war with China offered the
chance of obtaining a foothold on the
continent of Asia that might have

OSCAR KING DAVIS
ENVIABLE RECORD AS
WAR CORRESPONDENT

Oscar King Davis. The Calls special
war correspondent, was born in Bald
winsville. n. Y, on January 13, 1856. In
his youth he laid a good educational
foundation for the profession to which
his later years were devoted. In 1883
he was graduated from Colgate Uni
versity, Hamilton. n. Y, and he re-
ceived the degree Of master Of arts
four years later.
Davis was chosen from many ap-
plicants as special correspondent OF
the New York Sun and Harper's
Weekly at Manila during the Spanish
American War and the Philippine in
surrectiOn and accompanied the
American contingent of the allied
forces sent to the relief OF Peking dur
ing the Boxer uprising of 1S99-1900. In
all these, as was the case with his
work generally, he gave eminent salts
faction to his principals and readers.
On the approach Of the present crisis
in the Far East Mr.. Davis was selected
by the Call Herald news combination
as one of it's principal newsgatherers
at the scene Of action and only few
weeks ago passed through this city on
his way to the Orient.
Besides his work as a journalist.
Mr. Davis is the author of several
books on subjects Of lively current in
terest, among which were "Our Con-
quests in the Pacific" and "Dewey's
Capture of Manila" with "Sherreafs
Exclusion" and other stories.

SYSTEM OF ESPIONAGE.


1t IS a bad time eor those who have
any underhanded business to transact.
The system OF espionage covers 1917
eigners and natives alike, and il there
is anything it misses it is very small.
The care which considers the possible
meaning of private kilograms also in
spects the goings and cOmings of pri
vate persons. The other day two
Americans came out Of hotel in To-
kio and started for a morning walk.
Before they had gone far they discov
cred that thew were followed. Both
were husky men and they gave the spy
a merry chase for an hour. Then they
brought him back to the hotel, and
while one kept him occupied the other
went into the hotel and got an inter
prefer Then they demanded to know
There was an exciting debate between
the interpreter and the other, then the
Interpreter said:
He says he is from the country and
has never been in Toxic before in his
life. You are the first foreigners he has
ever seen, and he was so much inter
ested in your manner and your dress
and your talk that he followed you. He
meant no offense and asks your par
don"
But all the time war preparations go
on rapidly. There is no question that
the japanese authorities know exactly
what they have to do TO beat Russia.
/ Their military information is wonder
ful. When they went to war with China
ten years ago they not only knew the
character of their enemy; they knew
the topography of the country over
which they expected to fight and they
knew the condition and equipment of
the Chinese troops. 1t is not too much
to say that they are now prepared
against the Russians fully as well as
against the Chinese, if not better. They
know as we'll as the Russians how
many Muscovite troops there are in
Manchuria and Eastern Siberia, and
where they are stationed. Ever since
the Russianization of Manchuria be-
gan the Japanese have looked forward
to the time when they would fight, and
have prepared for it. They have stud
led the country in minute detail. Their
maps show the result of this work. In
diYidual hutS and clumpS of trees are
shown. Their knowledge of the ter
rain is complete. 1t is doubtful if the
Russians themselves are as we'll in
formed as to the topography of the
battle ground, be it Manchuria or Ko-
rea, as the Japanese. For some years
there have been in the neighborhood of
10000 Japanese in Manchuria and 10000
in Korea. Nearly every one of them
has been a source of information to the
military authorities here, and not a
few of them have been military men in
one disguise or another.
SPIES IN ROLE. OF SERVANTS.
With false pigtails and in Chinese
dress they have worked as servants
for Russians, understanding and not
ing every word their masters said. 1t
is an advantage the Russians can
never have. Their bulk absolutely
prevents them from undertaking any
such secret work with the Japanese
and they are forced to rely upon Chi
nese for spies or upon the very few
renegade Japanese they have been
able to find. with the added difficulty
that such japanese are almost as well

HATRED or THE RUSSIAN.

So secretly has the Government acted
that il is doubtful if a half-dozen men
in all JaDan know to-day exactly what
all the row is about or could detail the
course Of the negotiations with Russia
since the situation became dangerous

were principal notes and some were
principal replies. and out of il all if one
had the time and patience a mosaic
could be patched uD which probably
would fairly represent the truth No
statement Of any sort as to the causes
Of the differences with Russia or their
character has been made by any one in
authority. The nation IS on the verge
Of war because Of demands upon Rus
sia the nature of which the populace
does not pretend to know. Nor does it
care much. The fundamental causes Of
the general hatred Of Russia are well
known to every japanese. The author
tiles have no need to work uD a public
sentiment for the war. On the contrary,
their task is more in the way of re-
pressing the belligerent feeling of the
people. The extraordinary patriotism
Of the japanese viii lead them to sup
port the war whatever its causes. When
the time comes perhaps the four or five
statesmen at the head of affairs who
now know what all of these notes and
replies have said will think it wise to
make public their information. If they
do the people win be glad; but if they
do not il viii be all right, and there will
be TO failure of enthusiasm for war on
that account.
1t is a situation which could not exist
in the United States. There is a care
fully directed campaign of secrecy,
which involves watching everything
and everybody. Private and press tele-
grams have been closely scrutinized for
some time. and a secret censorship has
been in force. The man who filed a
press telegram had no means of finding
out whether his message had been sent
or not, and if it were sent he had no
means of ascertaining whether il had
been garbled by the censor. No one
knew who the censor was or the loca-
ton of his Office, and it was useless to
attempt te find out anything about it
from any of the telegraph people. Pri-
vate messages which were prepaid were
in slightly better case. When words
were stricken from them the sender
was notified in the course of a few days
and the money for those words refund
ed. He at least had the satisfaction of
knowing that his message had not gone
as he wrote it. Now the censorate has

Recently an increase in the stock was

TO undertake such an important de-
cisiOn. There was no reply. The ship
had been requisitiOned by the Govern

was at the Yokosuka naval station.
The attorney tried several times to
get word TO the captain. He went 10

there was no use in his making fur
