Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-11-09

Great Britain and Japan have con-
cluded a new treaty to last for ten
years that makes them closer allies
than ever The new treaty brings
both powers into the conflict If eth
er is attacked by nation. They were
formerly not committed to interfere
until either was attacked by two pow
ers.
This alliance will be formidable in
war. 1t doubles the army each has
available, and combines two fleets
that are the envy of the world. Great
Britain's is the largest in existence,
with a past history that alone could
earn it ample respect. Japan's, though
comparatively small, has proved it's
superiority in the greatest triumph
ever won in modern battles at sea.
The Jap navy is practically Eng
fish built and it is mainly trained
along British and American lines.
Here is the summary of the COM
bined fleets: Battleships, 60; armored
