ENGLAND AIDS JAPAN.
Warns France, 1t Is Said, to Become
Neutral.

The London Times, in strong edito-
rial warning to France of the extreme
danger and gravity of the situation in
the far East and appealing to that gov
ernment not to treat the japanese pro-
tests lght-heartedly. says it has reason
TO believe that Foreign Secretary Lans-
dOwne has spoken very strongly to the
French government on the breaches of
neutrality permitted to the Russian Pa
cific squadron.
Special dispatches from Toxic to the
London morning newspapers represent
that the japanese feeling is becoming
highly in1amed at Frances alleged fail
ure to prevent ostentatious disregard for
the principles of neutrality by the Rus
sian Pacific squadron. The Toxic Asahi
bluntly describes Frances assurances
that she would preserve neutrality as
falsehoods, and declares that Japan
would be justified in bombarding French
territory. 1t calls on the government
to take vigorous action.
Among japanese officials in London it
is asserted that France put off Japan
by fair promises in order to give Rojest-
vensky time to effect a junction of his
forces and that the Russians are now
given every privilege provided they keep
just outside the three-mile limit. The
report from Tsingtau that the Russian
squadron is off Vanfong, which is an in
let containing the port of Hondkohe, the
Three Kings being rocks near the en-
trance of Vanfong bay, is held to con-
firm the Japanese assertion that Rojest-
vensky is still cruising in Freach
waters.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at Toxic says that in response to Japan's
second protest France intimated that Ro-
jestvensky had been ordered to leave
Honkohe.
The Times correspondent at Toxic re-
ports that the japanese Chamber of
Commerce are taking concerted measures
to cease all commercial transactions with
French citizens.

This canal is in Nevada, and will di-
