Point TO Invasion.

Point TO Invasion.
do not all these signs point to an
intended invasion? Where could this
be? Certainly not on the Asiatic con.
tinent, for another war with Russia
would not be in the present interests
OF Japan. To crush the American
forces in the Philippines would GER
tainly not demand such extensive
preparations. but would Indicate some
vast undertaking, which will strain
her slnews TO the utmost. Since Japan
does not consider the moment to
strike opportune, It is the serious duty
Of America to lose no time In perfect
ing her defenses and guarding against
a surprise.
1T is our hope that the practical
common sense of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soon as
they fully realize tia danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at the
hand OF the crescent.
'As an adequate protection against
invasion by a foreign power, the
union, up to within a short time, has
made little provision. 1t was not con-
sidered necessary, for II has been, and
is now, a popular delusion, in fact, a
by-word, on that side OF the ocean,
that the geographical position of the
United States protects II against any
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of successful landing, that
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 100000 citizens Of the
union available IN time of war. II is
only recently. however, that military
critics there have dared to express
doubt, and, as will be shown, with
good reason, concerning the correct
ness OF those deductions. To oppose
a Japanese invading army In Callfor.
MIA the coast Notifications, in coopera-
tion with the fleet, would have to be
depended upon, and, considering the
long stretch of coast line, would be In
sufficient. Fortlfications are TO be
found In the vicinity of the larger
cities or good harbors, but these pro-
vide for a bombardment seaward
Should hostile feet once obtain a
landing for troops at an unprotected
point, and such points are numerous
along the extensive coast line. the
coast Notifications could be easily at
tackled from the rear and would in a
short time be ut the mercy of the
enemy"

Looked for War at once.

Locked Tor War az once,
When the announcement was made
that the navy department had de.
cided 10 send the Atlantic feet to the
Pacific a well known navy officer
was asked what, in his opinion, would
be the outcome of this oyersea trans
fer Of l6 battleships The chances
are, he said, that Japan will seize
the Philippines and declare war be
fore the fleet has been one week at
sea. The serious blunder was made
when the battleships that were sta.
toned out there were Withdrawn In
stead of Withdrawing them the force
should have been gradually but un-
obtTusiyely augmented
These are the l6 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which the government
win send around the Horn into Pacific
waters. The fleet as whole IL the
most formidable one that is now gath

SYBIL'S

PvVVvTVvVvy vvvvVWV'yvVVJ'

Sybil Leiih stopped on the old
bridge, and leaned over the old rail
ing, seemingly to watch the ripple oil
the waters. She saw, as enc secs
things In a dream, the minnows dart
ing about In that restless fashion OF
theirs, and they made her think OF
the shuttles flying through the work
in the weaving rooms at the Factory
whose jar an drumble came like a dis
cord to her, even now How she
wished she could forget the factory
and everything connected with 1t fol-
awhile
As she stood there thinking, In
spiritless kind Of way step upon
the creaking planks aroused her.
Good morning, Dick she said, put
ting out her hand.
Dicks face was aglow at sight Of
her TO him she was the one woman
in the world.
Good morning, Sybil,'' he said
cheerily. You're taking breath
of fresh air, are you. Wouldn't it be
glorious to live out Of doors all the
time, these scorching days? TIN be
like furnace in the factory to-day
I'm thinking
II wonder If person never gets

she asked. Il think not. It's for life

Il don't like to hear You talk in

slow way. There's no need OF
yonr killing yourself at the loom as
you're doing. Its only for you tcI
say yes. Sybil, and you're done with
1t forever You know that there
nothing | would be gladder to hear"
She turned away from him almost
angrily.
DON'T" she said, with a little ges
ture OF Impotence What's the use
OF bringing that all up again.
But if you only knew how I'd ser

gravely. IF you only knew how I'd
hoped and planned

tenderly, but with much bitterness in
her voice yet Il understand it all.
Dick, but there's Lois. 1t wouldn't
be right for me to marry you, and
put such burden on you as that
No, Dick, don't think I'd better say
yes II wouldn't be right"
They were at the factory door now,
and went in together The wheels
were turning round and round in their
tiroless way. She hung up her hat
and turned to her loom She took ur
her shuttles mechanically, and set
them in their grooves and started the
machine A step at her side and
caused her to look up. She saw Mr..
Leverson standing there, regarding
her intently. He was her employer
The great factory, and the men and
women in 1t, were his.
You look tired out, he said in his
low, even voice. You ought 10 rest"
What is that?" Sybil asked the
question almost sharply.
Pardon me, he said, understanding
her. Il presume what said sounded
like an inlpertinence to you. VIII you
stop at my house on your way home
tonight | have something to say
to you that cannot be said here"
ayes, I'll stop" Sybil said lie had
some instructions to give her, prob
ably. She didn't see why he couldn't
give them TO her in the Office as
we'll But she would stop, of course.
He was her employer and 1t was her
business to do as he said.
How cool and pleasant the path was

ing ground is the opinion Of County
Surveyor Hughes.
| This section bears unmistakable
evidence of having at some time been
freQuented by many prehistoric
people.
Large quantities Of bits of mussel
shells can be found streWn over the
Buster Brown addison Had the she'll
been cast up by the river they wo.ua
have decayed long ago.
Shells from live mussels such as
the Indian used, and such as are now
used in making pearl buttons, do
not crumble as soon as the cast or
shells.
Indian relics Of various kinds are
often found IN this section Mr.
Hrghes picked up two dise-like
liints just after the Buster Brown
streets were graded. They are I'M
