SITUATION IS ACUTE.
Japanese at The Hague Urge Quick
Action Against United States.

London, July 10.-The correspond
emit OF the Daily Telegraph at The
Hague sends in column dispatch which
purports to reflect the views prevailing
there on the Japanese-American situa-
tion, which he declares to be more abb
sorbing than the conference itself.
The correspondent says that, as q re-
suit OF his inquiries, he learns the stu
alton is really strained, although both
governments are trying to conceal the
fact. He asserts that since June 20 the
question has entered upon an acute
phase. Japan has been sending the
United States extremely categorical
notes, stating without bitterness but in
the clearest terms the dilemma that,
unless Wahsington is able to control
California, Japan will consider herself
free to act directly against California.
Nothing, however, yet has been ex-
changed preclnding pacific settlement,
but many of the japanese at The Hague
are of the opinion that the japanese
government ought to act without delay
and not give America time to utilize her
vast resources and economic potentiali-
ty, hundredfold greater than Japan g,
to perfect warlike preparations.
