JAPS WANT CL OSER
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND

New York, May 2. Korelsiego TAX
ahashi, financial agent Of the Japan
csc government, who has arrived from
London after negotiating the recent
Japanese war loan, said that Admiral
.Toga would not offer battle to the Rus
sian heet because he had too much at
stake and was not willing to risk all OIL
the first throw of the dice.
In his opinion the most important
matter under consideration by Japanese
statesmen IS the enlarging Of the scope
Of the alliance now existing between
Japan and Great Britain. He
considers that Russia will be
SO weakened by the war that
Its influence in the Far East will not be
seriously considered for ten years.
When he was asked If he thought
there was any possibility Of an alliance
between Russia and Japan for the iI1i-
posing of Monroe doctrine in the Far
East, he replied: hat is a French idea
which has been given birth owing to
the alarm the French have felt over the
lencreachinent of the Emperor of Ger
many iii China. OF course there is
nothing preposterous about the idea of
such an alliance but at present the
Japanese statesmen are considering the
ways and means of effecting great Of
fensive and defensive alliance with
Great Britain.

RAILROADS HAVE STUFFED

Washington, May I.The railroads

The result Of the testimony has been
this 1t convinced the committee that
rates are not so generally exorbita1i
as has been reported. They are held
down by water competition, by compe-

This will be good news to the coun-
try 1t shows how effective have been
the arguments Of the railroad agents.
