Such friendship as is here ex-

PLANTATION. II was heaven born.
The purity and the consistency of
the Divine nature finds express
sion here. Here was the union
of two souls whose intense pas
sion was the possession OF
goodness and the fuIfillment of
Gods will in the world.
The world has never before or
since known more beautiful or
remarkable friendship than that
, of David and Jonathan, a friend.
ship which endured through the
most trying vicissitudes of life
and which continued even after
, the tragic death of Jonathan.
There are minor conditions
which may account in part for
!, this extraordinary attachment
, of one person for another-the
similarity of age and tempera-
ment, love of the heroic, ETC.
but deeper and more important
, than all these were the two
chief reasons assigned-the pas.

sire to see the will of God done.
, Yes, there are friendships,
} strong and enduring as far as
this life goes, which are estab-

) ditions, upon mental and physi-
cal similarities, upon social or
business convenience and profit,
but the truest friendships are
, those which are based upon the
} more enduring principles, such
as the desire for goodness and
the wish to do Gods will.
No merely human conditions
or circumstances can alter such
friendship as that. Let hard
ship or danger come, let priva-
5 tions or separations arise; let
? opposition or persecution assail,
Ii is all the same, the ties
( of friendship endure, because

cannot be shaken-Righteou

of God! What stronger princi-

The Combined Fleets.
The combined fleets would there
fore comprise:
q battleships.
armored cruisers.
monitors.
coast defense.
protected cruisers
gunboats.
It is more than likely that those two
new and powerful armored cruisers,
the Tennessee and Washington, will
accompany the battleship fleet If it
moves from Atlantic waters. This
would bring the armored cruiser fleet
to eight in all.

the gun and cartridge factories at
Toxic and Nagoya over 10000 men
are at work. The capacity of these
factories, and third plant recently
constructed to the north of Toxic, is
500 guns daily. The shot works in
Toxic alone have an output of 600
shells and shrapnel for field guns.
Similar intensiveness is exhibited in
the government factories for artillery
fuses, pioneer material, etc.
Point to Invasion.
DO not all these signs point to an
intended invasion? Where could this
be? Certainly not on the Asiatic con-
tinent, for another war with Russia
would not be in the present interests
of Japan. To crush the American
forces in the Philippines would GER
tainly not demand such extensive
preparations, but would indicate some
vast undertaking, which will strain
her sinews to the utmost. Since Japan
does not consider the moment to
strike opportune, it is the serious duty
of America to lose no time in perfect
ing her defenses and guarding against
surprise.
1T is our hope that the practical
common sense of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soon as
they fully realize it-a danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at tho
hand of the crescent.
las an adequate protection against
invasion by a foreign power, the
union, up to within a short time, has
made little provision. 1t was not con-
sidered necessary, for it has been, and
is now, popular delusion, in fact, a
| by-word, on that side of the ocean,
that the geographical position of the
| United States protects it against any
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of successful landing, that
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 100000 citizens of the
union available in time of war. It is
/ only recently, however, that military
critics there have dared to express a
doubt, and, as will be shown, with

ness of those deductions. To oppose
q Japanese invading army in Califor,
MIA the coast Notifications, in coopera-
ton with the fleet, would have to be

BELIEVES JAPANESE
ADMIRAL MISQUOTED

Washington. July s. - Admiral
Brownson, chief of bureau of naviga-
tlon, navy department. said today that
he was satisfied that the Japanese Ad-
miral Sakamoto, who is reported in
the Hocbi. the Japanese anti-govern-
mental paper, to have questioned the
patriotism of American naval crews
and the ability of the American naval
officers, to have been misquoted. Said
Admiral Brownson:
"Whlle spurred on by a spirit Of
unrest or homesickness. sailors have
sometimes left the American navy;
they have always done so in time OF
peace. There is no record of a blue
jacket deserving in time of war"
At the Japanese embassy the Off
clals discredited the reported utter
ances of Admiral Sakamoto. Mr..
Hanlnara, the second secretary ex-
pressed his strong belief that the Ad-
miral had not given voice to any such
utterances as those printed or any
thing like them. and that II he spoke
about the matter at all he has been
badly misquoted. such alleged senti-
ments by the admiral, he declared.

very much deprecated. The ambas-
sador. Viscount Aoki. he declared. did
not care to discuss the matter because
he did not want to give II any i'm
portance by referring to Il.

DISP NTCH or FLEET WISE
PROBATION. BRITISH VIEW

London, July 9.-The Daily Mail,
IN an EDITORIAL article on the Japan
ese- American situation, says
Around the immense area of the
Pacific ocean the embattled nations of
the world are gathering as the ma
lions gathered around the Mediterran-
can two thousand years ago. Careful
observers universally will agree that
the great events OF the twentieth CEN
tury probably will be occupied with
the rlmhf this vast saucer
war between Japan and America
Is almost unthinkable. We believe
the intentions of the statesmen of
both countries to be profoundly pa
clflc. and that the Incidents at San
Francisco are not responsible for the
movement of the American fleet.
Japan commenced the war with
Russia. without previous notice, by
destroying half the Russian fleet.
such n move was very effective the
first time 1t was performed. and
henceforth no nation will walt for a
formal declaration Of war, but will he
ready 10 strike while there are yet no
signs Of diplomatic rupture.
"The cautious and wise statesmen
directing American policy are not vio-
lating prudence In deciding TO con-
centrate their forces In the region
where the keenest eye can detect the
menace on the obscure horizon"

CONSERVATIVE UTTERANCEs
OF JAPANESE PRESS

Toxic, July S.-The ASH today
prints an interview with an influen-

1T would be improper to infer n

plan, and Is a result of the constant
growth OF the American navy. and
the increasing importance Of Pacific
interests fr0m the strategic point OF
view No significance can be at
tached until AT least thirty ships have
been transferred to the Pacific"
The Ashl also publishes an edito-
rial article setting forth the same

Japan to reassert her sincerity and

England.
Departing from the custom. King
Edward and the Emperor sat side by
