A Clash With japan the RemOt-

Relations Between the Countries
Never MOre Cordial.
IN A YEAR OR TWO
All Difficulties Will Be Settled
Amicably
If Only San Francisco Will DO
Her Part.

Chicago, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
War with Japan is the remotest of
possibilities. The differences between
the two countries owing to the refusal
of San Francisco to permit Japan pupils
to enter the public schools of that city
never has reached the stage where It
created a fear of an armed clash be-
tween the two countries.
Reports of possible war that have been
sent out from Washington are not only
misleading, but are wholly unjustihed
by any facts in the possession of either
government. The relations between
the United States and the empire of
Japan were never more cordial than
they are today. The Japanese diplo-
matte representatives are well ac-
quainted with the situation, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt has succeeded in Sc
curing the consent of Japan to a basis
of compromise which will settle the
whole difficulty within a year or two.
provided the people of San Francisco
do their part.

was no reason to consider the relation
between the Japanese and united
states as being in any way strained,
adding that President Roosevelt
doubtless will settle the whole mater
to the satisfa ction of Japan.
