DISMAL FAILURE
AntI-sIiIitarist Plans in France Fall
 Flat.


 Flat.
 Paris, Juy 14-Outslde of Paris the anti-militarist plans for a general demonstration to-day were a dismal failure, but collisions between the po- lice and the workmen at Toulon and Montpelier were directly due to their inspira ton. At Brest the police were forced to occupy the Labor Exchange in order to prevent trouble.
 As no newspapers were published tn Paris this afternoon the attempt on the fife of President Fallieres was not gen erally known and the festivities were uninterrupted. The theaters gave their usual free performances and there were concerts in the parks and ballon as- cension at the tuilleries. Tonight there was a nautical fete on the Seine and magnificent displays of fireworks at the Place Du Trocadero and many other public places. At midnight the city was brilliantly illuminated and street balls again were in full swing.
 Many towns in the south of France refused to celebrate to-day in accord ance with a decision not to participate in any civic function until the griev- ances of the people were redressed.

Now, however, the situation is different, and further de- lay would be an injustice to the state, whilethe continued confinement of the jury would imperil the case.

realizes that the present is the day

natural that she should be prepar-

America still sleeps in her cOmpla-

1t has been seen in previous pa

pansion. Authentic reports from
Japan show that these are not the
ordinary preparations of a growing

At frst sight japanese budgets ap-
pear innocent enough, revenues and

sight. the budgets become incOmpre-
hensible The Japanese are past mas

naval and military preparations for
war. The word extraordinary COW
ers a multitude Of things on both sides
of the ledger. Innocent titles and bare
generalities cover up the real purpose
ana destination of large outlays. and
the statements made public give no
animation of the stupendous prepara-
ucns for war. For instance. the naval
budgets for 1913, as printed, appear
reasonable. and conservative enough,
and give no idea of the fact that over

strength from Russian ships the Jap

To Draw on China.
OF all the forms Of war preparations
by Japan the most formidable and
far-reaching Is her systematic prepa-
ration OF China with a view 10 draw
ing upon the resources Of this en-
pire. The Chinese for years have
lOnged for the chance to swarm over
America. 1lere can be no question
that the people Of China would gladly
join Japan in the conquest Of the Pa
cifc slope
Realizing the nature and position Of
the Chinese government. It is clear
THAT Japan. all powerful close at hand
can dictate the policies of. this gov
eminent. and that IN fhe control Of
the sea she would experience no diff
Guilty in securing the cooperation OF
this government.
There are now over 1900 Chinese
students IN japan, and it is safe TO es-
innate that over 5000 young Chinese
have already been prepared there. II
has for some time been known to resi-
dents in the foreign settlements in
China that Il students returning from
JaEan are all sources Of anti-foreign
Influence. and that they are organizing
d Chinese press movement. OF great
proportions TO mold the opinion Of the
empire. This was the agency en-
plcyed by japan to bring about the
recent boycott Of American goods bv
the Chinese.
The agitation of this japanese con-
trolled press became intense. and the
feeling began to extend to foreigners
OF other Municipalities before the jap
aEese government called the movement
on. The ending Of the boycott, how
ever, has not prevented Japan from
proceeding to secure the destruction OF
the American cotton market IN China,
this market dropping from $50. 000, 900 to
100000 last year. The power that
Japan is thus building up throughout
China by sending back 10000 or 1900
Chinese students every year cannot
be acknowledgements that can be used
not only for commercial but for mill
tary control OF the Chinese Empire.
That Japan aims at military as well
as commercial control is evident from
the large number Of japanese officers
detailed to China where they are
teaching military science in the impor-
tant schools. where they are directing
in the establishment Of arsenals and
the organization of modern armies
Tt is estimated that in China nearly
4O0, 600 students are receiving japanese

By CAPT. R. P. HOBSoN.

z my last paper it was shown
that Japan, in complete con-
troll of the sea, could capture
and hold the Pacific Slope,
and that as long as America is not
in complete control of the sea she
is facing the spectre of the Yellow
Peril, which IS today standing at
our door.
In a previous article it was shown
that today Japan can take the
Philippine Islands and the Hawaiian
Islands without material opposition,
and that in an effort to repulSe
them our fleet would be liable to
destruction or diSintegraion, and
Japan would have a good chance to
secure complete control of the sea
and to see her way open for the
realization of her ambitions for her
self and for the yellow race.
Japan, of course, realizes that
America has boundlesS wealth and
resources and if aroused could with
ease maintain a navy capable of
controlling the sea, and, with bases
in her Pacific possessions, capable
of efecually protecting those pcs
