had vised number of vouchers for the
payment of this work, and these ag-
gregated $1,000, with more bills to

date would reach $4,000.
Mr.. Smith wrote these reports and
submitted them to Allan Forman. who
owns the Telegraphic News bureau,
and 81 a line was paid by the Mutual
Life for the service. Clippings from
various papers about the country, in
cluding the st. Paul Pioneer Press,

van, who has charge of the magazine

London, Sept. 4.-Great Britain and
Japan are in league for the lord
ship Of Asia. Lord Landsdowne and
Baron Hayashi have scored again In
the opinion Of officialdom and two
great facts stand conspicuous In the
policy Of Great Britain now that the
mists have rolled away from the Ports
mouth conference. One is the en-
larged alliance with Japan and the
other is new program in India. Per.
haps the two should be considered as
one. since each Is distinctively anti
Russian in origin and tendency. By
the alliance, in its new form, the con.
tracing powers hold Russia Is the ma
ton whose aggressions they have
most to fear. The Japanese and Brit
ons are convinced she will take the
earliest opportunity to recoup herself
for the loss of Manchuria.
BY the new Indian program 1t is
sought to strengthen Great Britain's
position on the northwestern frontier
against a Russian invasion via Afgha-
nistan. London has little confidence
in the present ameer of Afghanistan
and the buffer state is no longer re-
garded as likely to help check the
Russians, should they try to descend
upon the fertile plains of India.
