There are misguided wives who

ENGLAND'S WAR PRoRLEM.
Royal Commission Finds That II
Consists Mostly In Lack of
Feod Supply.

After all, what are the sinews Of
war? Are they ammunition, guns and
men, heavy artillery, cavalry and in
fantry? The royal commission re-
Gently appointed to investigate the
conditions Of England with regard to
her preparedness for war does not
seem to pay much attention to the
amount OF men, ships or firearms on
hand, but calls attention to the fact
that II England's mighty navy were
to prove as weak and inadequate as
her dull battali0Ds did In the BOer war,
and were to be sent to, slumber among
the wrecks of the boastful Spanish
Armada, the little island under a state
of Siege would be practically helpless.
Much Of England's actual necessaries
Of life Is imported. Suspending these
imports for any length of time the Suf-
fering among the inhabitants would be
acute. The commission, then, in It's
wisdom, emphatically brings the people
Of England face to face with the ac-
tual conditions as they exist, brings
them face to face with the fact that
they have been providing for war by
Sl'huiuS vast oulhS lOT army duu navy
and paying no attention to the actual
sinews Of war-fOod. Recommends

the erection of a system of elevators
and storage houses of sufficient capac-
fly to store $JO,OO0,OOO worth Of grain.
besides q vast quantity Of provisions
They reason that the storehouseS
should hold supplies of food sufficient
for three months, figuring that that
length of time would be long enough
to prove whether Brittania would be
sovereign over the waves or 90 down
to the depths, leaving the coast unde-
Tended at the mercy Of the blockading
feet.
The Commission would be wise, too,
IL 1t could work out an industrial rev.
olutlon by which the vast tracks Of
land held in England in great unpro-
ductive estates could be transformed
into small, self-supporting homes, such
as can be found by the tens and hun
dreds Of thousands in Japan. England
itself contains much more arabic land
than all Of japan and the single island
comprising England, Scotland and
Wales has fully three times the agri-
cultural land Of Japan.

ALLIANCE TERMS
TEXT OF TREATY BETWEEN
GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN.
OPPRESSIVE PEACE IN FAR EAST
New Treaty Forms An Effective Safe.
guard Against Renewal Of Disturb
ances--That Was the object in En-.
tsring Into Alliance.

LONDON-The text of the new
agreement between Great Britain and
Japan, which was signed by Lord
Lansdowns, the British foreign secre.
AIRY, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Great Britain, on August
", was issued by the Foreign Office
ate Tuesday evening. The nomentous
document is a brief one, comprising
less than 500 words, including eight
acticles and a preamble. Accompany
ing the agreement is n letter from
Lord Lansdowne to the British ambas-
sailors at st. Petersburg and Paris for
transmission to the Russian and
French governments respectively, in
which the foreign secretary cour-
teously reviews the agreement and
carefully points out that the new de-
fensive alliance is not intended as a
menace, but rather as a guarantee of
and prosperity in the far east, in which
all countries may participate.
The main features of the new agree
ment have already been forecasted in
the Associated Press dispatches from
London and Paris. The pithy articles
of the official text, however, bring out
forcefully the tremendous Importance
of both countries of this alliance, which
practically makes Great Britain Japan
and Japan Great Britain for the pur-
poses of defenses ain the regions of
east Asia and India" This inclusive
of India specifically as a point at
which any aggression by foreign
power will call for the assistance of
Japan finds much favor with the press
of London, the morning papers in long
laudatory articles welcoming the new
and more extensive alliance of the
two insular kingdoms west and east as
giving immediate relief from the dan
gerous thunder cloud which so many
years has hung over the Indian from
tier.
Baron Hayashi, who was interviewed
by the Associated Press after the pub
LEGATION Of the agreement, said:
The new treaty forms an effective
safeguard against the renewal of dis
turbances in the far east. That is its
object. We cannot say that perma-
nent peace has been secured-that is
too much to be sure of-but we can
aver that tranquility has been assured
for long time to come. This applies
not only to Great Britain and Japan.
but also to all powers in that part of
the world: in fact, to all who have
been interested in maintaining the
status quo.
