Pans-The serious disturbances
that II was thought would ensue on

realized. The services In the city In
particular passed on quietly. There
was notable increase In the size
of the congregations and in them
were large bodies OF men who were
determined forcibky to prevent the in
terruption of masses by rowdies.
There were only a few cases where
rowdies entered the churches wear
ing their hats, and they were prompt
ly elected and arrested.
Reports from the provinces show
that there was great excitement at
many places. Lavve professions,
chanting psalms. accompanied the
clergy To and from the churches.
Counter demonstrations took place in
several cities, notably Parpignan and
Amiens, where the Catholics and free
thinkers came into collision, neces-
stating interference by the police.

War Upon Sea and Land
With Brown Men.

Berlin Among German military
and naval officers the possibility OF
conflict between the United States

cussed and the professional views TAX
en- seem to be that Japan would take
the Philippine islands and place upon
the United States the necessity OF
conducting across the Pacific pro
longed sea and land campaigns, which
would call for immense expeditions
against natural obstacles. 1t was
known here In June that the BRUSH
admiralty had considered theoretical
ly the possibility OF war between ia
pan and the United States as likely
to occur within twenty-five years, and
some of the British naval men are re-
ported to have expressed the Delief
that the contest would occur within
Ave years. In any case, 1t Is certain
that several European foreign officers
are at present making inquiries re-
garding the temper of the Japanese
people and the government or Japan.
