ROW STIRRED UP
AT CITIZENS MEET
North Westinghouse Are
Criticised by Brother
Associations.

One Of the most exciting citizens
meetings ever held in the District took
place at the session Of the North Capitol
and lexington Citizens Association
meeting last night, and when the orators
finally wilted from the heat. the repu-
tation OF the North Washington Ciu-
zens' Association for doing things had
been damaged.
Although the meeting opened peace
fully, il was evident that something un-
usual was TO occur when a motion was
made 10 thank the Commissioners and
the daily papers for their efforts in pre-
venting the erection of a stable near
the city reservoirs. in the North Capitol
section Of the city. After the motion
had been passed. caustic criticism was
hurled at the North Washingtonians.
one member declared that the North
Washington Association had grown
pompous since the stable was ordered
removed. and that as a matter of fact
their efforts were of no avail in the
matter.
T. NJ Ferris said the statement that
the improvements in lexington are due
TO the efforts Of the North Washington
Association is not founded on fact.
other members voiced this sentiment,
one member declaring the North Capitol
and lexington Association had been in
existence for eleven years, and would
be doing business when the North
Washington Association was forgotten.
After hauling their neighbOrs over
the Goals 10 their hearts content, the
members Of the association voted 10
recommend that q park be established
in the space south of T street to Ran
dOlph place 1t was voted 10 call the at

KassOn Free Soil Delegate.
But in the quest for political an
tiquities. Major William H. Fleming,
librarian of the Treasury, and friend of
Mr.. Kasson for night a half century,
has developed something decidedly more
striking than Mr.. Kasson's relationship
to the beginnings OF Lincoln. He finds
that Mr.. Kasson was a delegate from
Massachusetts to the national conven-
ton Of the Free Soil party in 1885, when
Martin Van Buren, was nominated and
Taylor was elected at the polls. That

Mr.. Kasson was at that time Just I'M

active in politics from the time he had
come to mans estate. He was probably
the youngest delegate in that national
convention. which was one of the earli-
est Of regular conventions, and much

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-06-26
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF
JAPAN SHOULD FIGHT US.

AS a matter of course, the war ex-
perts nowadays are busily figuring
out what would happen if Japan
should really declare war on the
United States. No matter how remote
the possibility of such action on the
part OF Japan, it is mere ordinay pru-
dence for our military and naval
authorities to consider with great care
the problem that would confront them
in such a contingency. Doubtless,
this is exactly what they have done
and are doing.
The principal factors in the problem
are time, which in turn depends on
geography, naval strength and fnan-
cial resources. Japan is no match for
us in the last two respects, but derives
her principal advantage from the
superiority of her geographical posi-
ton.
It is to be promised that it would be
impossible for Japan to take us by
surprise, as she did Russia. There
would inevitably elapse, between the
the day when she finally determined
to strike and the day she delivered the
blow, certain period in which secre-
cy would be impossible. It may also
be conceded that, at first, we could
not expect to defend the Philippines,
Guam or Midway. We do not main
tain an adequate naval force in those
waters, and would be obliged to with
draw our armored cruisers, gunbo ats
and torpedo boats to Hawaii and ul-
timately to our own coast.
The real crux of the war would be
the defense of Hawaii against the ia.
panese, until our superior fleet OF
battleships had time to make the long
voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific
around Cape Horn.
So far as Hawaii is concerned, we
have the advantage in time, for Homo
lulu is but five days away from our
coast, while it is nine or ten days from
Japan. The experts figure that we
could land a force of Is, 900 men with
ample artillery and supplies in Pear
Harbor in ten days after the war was
found to be inevitable. This force
could throw up the necessary earth.
work Notifications 10 supplement the
Notifications already in place. Fully
three weeks would elapse before Japar
could land a man-three weeks fo'
forti6cation and preparation. The
feats of both American armies in thu
civil war show that great things coulc
be done in that time.
There is little doubt that the defend
ing force could hold all-importan

Speaking with Prof. Sardeson yes
Iterday afternoon about the much de-
spised carp, a Review reporter OBJ
tanned from him the following inter-
esting statement, 'sMany. people de-
spise carp, but the time will come when
it will be the only fish to be caught in
the river waters of this section of the
state. Moreover, it is really very
good fish. To be appreciated, how
ever, it must be properly dressed;
otherwise it will have too much of the
wild flavor to suit the taste of most
people. A carp, to be right, should
be treated as one would a chicken or
a sheep. AS soon as the carp is killed,
cut the isthmus, which is between the
gills on the under side; of the fish, to
let out the blood. Then dress at once,
and let it be sailed for at least twelve
hours. Removeithe skin before: cook
ing, and bake, not fry. Then you will
have a fine dish.
