WAR DUR NC THE WEEK.
Grave International Com p1ications for
Time Threatened.

|
/ a Time Threatened.
| For the first time since the Russo
Japanese war began the possibility of
! grave complications over the neutral
| ity question doomed large on the inter
! national horizon. Japan asked of
/ France an explanation Of the prolong-
| ed stay of the Russian feet at KAN
ranh bay. The French foreign minis
ter, in reply, is reported to have as
| sured Japan that France had not vio-
lated the laws of neutrality; that the
Russian feet at most had made only
brief sojourn at Kamranh bay. ST.
Petersburg says that Admiral Rojest-
vensys instructions were to respect
French neutrality and that he has
been ordered to leave French terrific
rial waters.
Kamranh bay is a large, sheltered
1ndo- China, some 200 miles north of
Saigon. The bay is triangular in
shape, its greatest length being 1912
miles, and its greatest width 10 miles.
1t has no cable communication with
the rest Of the world. 1t is, in fact, an
ideal harbor for Russia's purposes.
According to the best information at
hand Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
feet anchored in Kamranh bay, and
if circumstantial statements cabled
from Saigon are correct, the Russian
fleet, numbering SO vessels, was re-
coaled and reproyisioned. French and
German steamers left Saigon almost
daily with supplies intended for the
feet.
All this, if true, constitutes a grave
breach Of neutrality as Japan under
stands it and as the world under
stands it. The anger of the Japanese
people is natural, and if France main
tains ner attitude of benevolent COM
placency and continues to permit Rus
STA to make war on Japan from
French harbors, the Toxic government
is extremely likely to precipitate a
crisis which will bring the world face
to face with the danger of an inter-
national war, the consequences of
which cannot even be estimated.
Happily, says the Chicago Tribune,
a way out of the crisis lies through the
sterling common sense of the French
and Japanese people. The government
of Japan is standing up for its rights,
but is not going out of it's way need
lessly to embroil itself with a great
European power at moment when
it is bending every energy and every
resource to whip that powers ally. And
the French people do not want war
with Japan. The French people and
the French press are almost as angry
at Russia's violation of French neu-
trality as are the people and press of
Japan.
It is significant that the English
press is silent in the presence of this
new crises arising out of the far east
ern situation. Great Britain is the |

with Japan-a treaty which England's
Statesmen of all parties uphold as

by two powers. Any view of the
present crisis that considers Englands
probable or possible attitude toward
France is purely speculative. But IL
is safe to predict that England will
exert every influence at her command
to induce France to yield exact JUS
tice to Japan. Any other belief is too
incredible to contemplate.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass Off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
''The doctors gave US no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in ap
about dozen boxes, and we still givt
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.
