The Erown And yellow PrrIIs.

I The world may we'll keep an eye on
japan. One thousand picked Chinese
students are sent annually to Japan to
complete their education. Japan Is
! training the Chinese army and expects
| to have half a million Chinese under
| perfect military training in the nexi
eiX years. She is laying the keels OF
half dozen great battlcehips and more
cruisers and now her admiralty say that
| the most modern battleship is obsolete
| tiInt their idea is for 22,000.ton battle
ships and l5,O00-ton cruisers OF % knot
| speed. Tho battlcships will ench carry
t twelve II inch guns She has several
submarine boats built in tho United
States. and go we'll pleased is she that
che is going to order more. Tho naval
power TINT goes up against japan ten
| years hence will have something worth
while to contend against. She has
virtually taken charge OF China, and
will control her trade within two years
! from this date, says Goodwin's Weekly.
There liz very little dOubt i was Japan
/ that initiated the boycott against Ameri.
can goods. The best proof ia that the
trade of the United States with China
fell otT more than S20.0OO,OOO last year,
wlil" Japun's trade increased 10y just
/ about the samc number Of millions.
When the railroads arc pushed To the
iron and coal fields OF China, and new
| factories arc complctcd to absorb
| China's wool nnd iron, both Japan and
China can msiat upon the "ofen door
with the world and then with oriental
! humor both countries can smile ut tho
efforts Of the generous nations to com.
pete with them. They will bc ready for
anything that may come, bc it the strain
OF war or the competitions Of pence.

HELD UP II MEN.
Six Robbers Secure $500 i'm a Chicago
Office.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Twelve men have
been held up by six armed robbers in
the offices of the electric light, oil and
gasoline delivery. The highwaymen
fired several shots as they entered,
wounding two persons. They knocked
another unconscious with a blow from
a revolver. They then took more than
$500 and escaped There were only four
men in the office when the robbers en-
tered. without warning the six robbers
appeared and began firing. After the
shooting the robbers ordered the four
men to hold up their hands.
At this point eight of the drivers and
filters who were in a barn at the rear,
heard the shooting, ran into the office.
Revolvers were pointed at them and
they were told to line up against the
wall with the other four.
While two Of the robbers kept the vic
Tins in subsection the other four took
Benzv, a clerk into the inner office and
ordered him to open the safe He COM
piled and they removed the contents
amounting to $500, the entire proceeds
of the days sales. An inner compart-
ment remained locked which contained
only the private papers of the proprie-
tor. BenZv was commanded to open
this and when he said he could not the
robbers struck him several blows with
their revOlvers rendering him uncon-
scious. They carried him to the outer
office where they forced the II to lie
face downward on the floor until they
could be searched. The robbers then
made their escape
