WARS AND RumoRs OF WAR.

TO the unthlnlIing person the world
just now appears to be enjoying u
period Of peace almost unprecedent'
ed Well posted men will tell you
that this Is the era of universal sub
mission to the influences that make
for pncificntion. And yet there are
wars and rumors of war all about
us. without taking into account the
little scrap over which the Central
American states are making such
fuss, war alarms are heard on almost
every hand. Reference need hardly
be made to the political diminishing
that Is going on in Ohio, or the bat
tie being fought out between the
President and some OF the railroad
kings and corporation Losses OF the
country, for Of these we hear every
day. and 1t might almost be said OF
them that like the poor they are al
ways with us. But there are other
wars. Word comes from New Eng
land that the state of Massachusetts
has declared war on the gypsy
moth" and the "brown-tail.' and that
II Is to be war of determination.
There is to be no quarter asked or
given; 1t is to be war to and with
the knife, and the knife to the hit,
Tho newspapers of Maine have taken
cognizance Of the matter and 1t is
considered certain that the war will
extend to that state. and probably In
to other New England states.
1t mny be asserted that this bit OF
fight Is not of general interest,
and can scarcely be called war.
MS 1t Involves such q small part of
the country. but that ia only part of
tile war story. The state Of Kansas
ana the territory CT oklahoma have
declared WY ON the green bug" that
has becn working so much injury to
the.-f&heat fields. This green bug
4 war is not confined to these two COM
monwealths, but reaches out and en-
braces the great empire of Texas, and
there is no telling where it will end.
Texas Is going at this war In q
method all it's own, and proposes to
fight the devil with fire. rs 1t
were, by turning loose several mil
lions of lady rigs' to deyour the
green bugs" To some people this
may look like barbarous warfare. and
not at all in accordance with modern
civilized fighting. But then, war is
war, and we have the authority Of
no less person than the late vii.
liam Tecumseh Sherman, himself
something of warrior, for the as.
sertion that war is-well 1t Is the
amusement of His Satanic Majesty.
Late news from several western
states is TO the effect that chinch
bugs have made their appearance in
some OF the wheat fields, reinforc
ing the green bugs, as 1t were
which of course means more war, and
there will be still more of the same
when the potato bug puts in his ap.
Z pearance, which he is sure to do a
little later on. The bool weevll wal
is such an old story that it seems
hardly to necessary TO mention 1t eX.
cept for the purpose of completing
the record of warlike preparations
now going on. The green hug war
is not the only scrap Texas has on
her hands-there are the mosquitoes
With true Texas grit, the fight ia
which the state of New Jersey seems
to have succumbed long time ago
has been taken UP by the Empire OF
the Single Star, and vast quantities

A TENNESSEE MAN
TALKS OF ROSWELL,


Among the visitors to the Record
office yesterday, was one J. F. Dowdy,
of Tennessee. Mr.. Dowdy has been
in the city for several days, and ex-
pressed surprise at finding such an
up-to-date city here. Coming across
the plains north and east of Roswell
for SO many hundreds of miles," said
Mr.. Dowdy, the most conspicuous
thing to an eastern man is the lack
of water and timber. Then coming
down into the beautiful Pecos Val
ley, with its wells of sparkling arte-
sian water, its beautiful trees and
flowers and vegetation of all kinds,
it is indeed a delightful revelation.
One of the most impressive things
TO me in your town, is the miles and
miles of fine cement sidewalks. Ros-
well is city of which its builders
may well be proud

Toxic, Japan, July 1.-THE mass
in the Pacific, about which the Amer
lean papers have appealed to Mar
quis Ito for an opinion, is semi-offi-
cially discussed by Itos administra-
ton paper today. The paper says:
I'VE cannot help feeling some mis-
giving with regard to the significance
of the intended massing of American
battle ships in the Pacific, especially
in view of the grandiose announcemt
attributed to the President to the eff
feet that the navy would furnish the
world with a startling demonstration
of Americas defensive capacity 1t
is difficult for us to accept the assu-
rance taat the coming maneuvers do
not possess any connection whatever
with the Japanese-American situation.
We regret that Washington thinks it
necessary to take what resembles a
precautionary measure. However, we
are not disposed to attach serious i'm
portance to this matter and have nc
inclination to doubt the Presidents
sincerity in assuring us of the peace
full nature of the proposed maneu-
vers. Neither nave we the slightest
doubt of the pacific and friendly sen
timents of the American government.
The people to whom the blame is
probably due for any i'll feeling are
the irresponsible sections of both ma
tions." Ito declines any discussion re-
garding the sensational agitation of
the press. His sole comment on the
probability of war is, There is no
feeling in my heart for this
America Her Best Friend.
New York, July 11.-Keiroku Tzu-
zuki, a Japanese statesman of cabinet
rank and ambassador plenipotentiary
of his country to The Hague Confer
ence is quoted in a Herald cable to-
day as saying: "Of all the countries
in the world, the United States is the
very last Japan seeks any trouble
with. The United States has been our
best friend. The understanding be-
tween our respective governments is
PCIICSI+ oO ~ -, AiOoI III my DS4AN'oS
between the intelligent people of
both countries"
To a question regarding the send
ing of the American fleet to the Pa
cific, Tzuzuki said:
q say without hesitation that ia
pan would look upon the cruise with
the idea that no better time than the
present could be chosen, just when
the two governments are in the most
perfect accord"
Admiral Shimamura, who was with
the ambassador when the statement
was made, coincided entirely with
Tzuzuki's views.
Fleet Under War Conditions.
Washington, July 11.-When the
American battlesnip fleet starts on its
1900 mile cruise to the Pacific
ocean it will proceed under war con-
ditions The fleet will not only be
constantly prepared to meet the enc
my, but will conduct maneuvers de-
signed to increase its effectiveness.
