"Miasmatic odors arising after

Clearly Shown by Comparison

COULD TAKE THE PHILIPPINES.

Washington, d. c., June 11.-Of-
ficially 1t is admitted the japanese
question was taken up at today'a
cabinet meeting. Secretary Root pre-
scented the state department view of
recent developments. There was no
serious discussion Of the disposition
OF our naval forces.
Our Naval Forces.
Washington. d. c., June H. -
Washington officials in discussing
tho possibility of estrangement be-
tween the United States and Japan
are figuring on the comparative ma
val strength of the two nations
among nations of the world The
United States ranks third in naval
strength and Japan fifth. Nearly all
Japan's vessels are in home water.
The flower Of the American navy Ia
now at Hampton Roads. Should
friendly relations cease, the Philip
pines and possibly Hawaii would be
practically at the mercy of the mi
kado's navy.
Change of Policy.
Official Washington positively re-
fuses to become unduly excited az
the bellicose carnations from Toxic
although there may be detected a
sinister note in the reputed utter
ances of Viscount TAM, leader of the
opposition In the house of peers. The
noteworthy fact is, however. that for
the first time a feeling of irritation
against the japanese government Is
observed. The state department de-
clares that the administration is
growing weary of the persistent ef-
forts of the Japanese government to
magnify unimportant Incidents into
international episodes.
A broad hint to this effect may be
delivered soon to the Japanese gov
eminent through the state depart
ment, where it is felt that the time
has arrived to deal with the question
with more frankness and vigor than
have been observed in the past.
1t Is safe to predict a change OF
policy in dealing with the little Japs.
This opinion is predicated upon the
fact that the story went out from
Washington last night detailing the
attitude of the war crowd in Japan
toward the United States, growing
out of recent happenings in San
Francisco, was authorized by Secre-
tary of State Root, who for months
has kept this important information
locked in his official breast. The war
ranted inference is that Mr.. Root. the
sagacious statesman that he is. would
not have given publicity to facts so
vital sbut for the reason that the adj
ministration is on the verge of an
entirely new japanese policy.
Briefly stated, Japan has become
extensively coelIish and should be
called down." and If Uncle Sam did
not intend to deliver the rebuke Sec
rotary Root never in the world would
have authorized the statements which
issued from the state department last
night This little warning to the APP
parently bellicose element In the nil
kado's kingdom is to be limited rath-
er than revealed in the harsher terms
of an ultimate, but nevertheless the
latitude of the United States is to be
made unmistakable.
