Drift of Comment

, While there is not so much war
talk about this country and Japan,
the latter country has not ceased
her preparedness for 1t. If IL ever
comes to war, japan, will be
ready. She is today the best pre-
pared country on the face of the
earth so far as data is concerned,
Iard she is getting better prepared as
the sun rises and sets. Here is a
paragraph from Manila paper,
not meant to startle anyone, and
buried down deep In the columns,
as If 1t did not amount to any
thing
Japanese continue to traverse the
provinces unmolested, mapping the
roads and bridges, figuring on the
population and food supplies and oc-
OCCASIONALLY cultivating the acquaint-
ance of naval political leaders, es-
pecially semi-pacifed former in
surgents.
What would Germany think If we
should send over there corps OF
engineers and survey her roads and
make maps OF the bridges and fig
ure upon her population in the var
ious sections OF the country and
ascertain the food supply of the in
Idiyiduals, and hold conferences with
the Socialists, who are supposed to
be opposed to the present order OF
things, How long do you suppose
Emperor William would permit such
things before he sent note to this
country asking what it meant, and
what we ultimately expected to ac-
complish, and why we were taking
SO much interest in his country?
The information concerning the do
ing of the engineers would hardly
contain that word "unmolested," for
they would be very seriously mo-
lssted.
Equally rs significant as is the
statement about the roads and
bridges is that about the conferences
between the Japs and the semi
pacifed Eilipinos.. The Filipinos, as
"A people. are opposed to Japan. In
case of war between the United
Estates and Japan many Of them
would favor the United States. The
most prominent Filipino newspaper.
the Independence, urges in every
issue that In case of war between
the United States and Japan that
the FiliDinOs resist tho invasion OF
the islands by the Japanese. Nor
has II any love for the United
States. 1t argues simply that 1t
would be better for the islands to
suffer az they are now under the
unwise laws Of the United States

In addition from the back coun-

DEFENDS
DAVIS
British Foreign Secretary
Pays a Tribute to the
American Officer.

London, March 15.-The incident
involving Governor Swettenham of
Jamaica and Rear Admiral Davis,
~. S. N, at the time of the Kings
tor earthquake, was brought up in
the house Of commons yesterday in
Ia hypothetical question by Jesse
Ceilings. Liberal Unionist (who
was in Kingston at the time of the
disaster), which, brought out from
Secretary Grey a generous tribute
tc the American admiral
Mr.. Ceilings asked If 1t was in
accordance with international law
and international etiquette for an
admiral Of a foreign country to land
ar armed force in q British colony
without the permission of the gov
ernor. The foreign secretary, in re-
ply, said:
NO; and / may add that no such
rights were claimed in the incident
referred to. What ! am convinced
ot IS that while in the presence of
such a catastrophe, there naturally
was a certain amount of mIsunder-
standing. the American admiral was
inspired by single minded motives
and desire to relieve suffering
ANY other construction placed on
his action is most unworthy and iln-
true"
The foreign secretary's tribute to
hear Admiral Davis was heartily,
cheered by the members OF the
house.

NEW JAPAN INDEED.

One Of the wise "elder statesmen

problems of national policy have
been appealed In Japan. said, dur
ing the Russian war, that his coun-
try must win its victories while its
people remained essentially un-

Japan which might soon have a pro-
found effect upon the very nature Of
the Japanese people, their national
virtues and their prowess.

The SNOW BUNTING.


2 fc-tnafsa songster Of the .Arctic'a
Treeless Wastes
One Of the most interesting OF arcrc
birds is the snow bunting or polar sing
Ing bird. A native Of spihbergen and
Nova Zembla. its short, agreeable notes
sound doubly sweet when heard IN
these treeless wastes. The birds build
their nests In the mountain clefts
or under large rocks, lining them with
feathers and down. In winter time
their plumage is warm and abundant
and especially fits them for the rigor
Of an arctic winter. During the breed
ing season and summer they live en-
tirely en- insects, particularly gnats.
while in winter they subsist on moss,
roots and seeds. Some winters less
rigorous than others they are in abun-
dance. but at times famine compels
them to seek a more favorable climate.
and they nre then seldom found until
they invaria bly, reappear toward spring.
These buntings are distinguished BY
a long claw on their hind toe. a struc-
ture which really enables them to run
about with ease on the soft snow.
OF the other birds | may mention
pufiins, divers, looms, dovekies. gulls,
skuas. burgolnasters. kittiwakes, terms,
swans. geese, hawks. eagles and every
variety of ducks known to inhabit the
northern shores OF America and Eu.
rope, including the scooter. long tail.
scaup duck. merganser eoosander and
raven. These delight In reveling and
resting among the moss covered banks
and shores and among grasses and
shrubs that exist about the polar will

shrubs, for in this country the forests
are more IN than above the EARTH
