 JAPANESE WAR
Public Men Fear that Oriental Power Is Attempting to
 Force Trouble.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 3-While administration officials minimize the difficulties of the situation involved in the controversy with Japan over the San Francisco school question it is known that President Roosevelt and Secretary Root view the case with ap- prehension. Consul-General Miller of Yokohama is quoted as saying that the Japanese are preparing for war. He says the school question is only pre- text and that the capture of the Phil ippines is the ultimate object.
 Senator Flint and Congressman Hayes of California called on the pres ident yesterday and with other public men discussed the Japanese difficulty and the warlike attitude of the Orien- tai empire. The president deprecated talk of the possibility of war and ex- pressed the hope that the trouble might be settled by having San Fran cisco allow all Japanese under Is years old in that city to attend the primary schools.

He says President RoOse- welt is the best-pOSted man in the ad- ministratiOn on Alaska and its re- sources.
