GERMANS
PREDICT WAR
SAY JAPAN AND UNITED STATES
WILL FIGHT FOR THE MAS
Terry or THE PACIFIC.

BERLIN, July S.-Ultimate war be-
tween the United States and Japan
is the inevitable outcome Of the pres
ent agitation as the Germans view
the situation. In diplomatic circles
the topic is live one at all times and
army and navy men are intensely in
terested in every phase of the situa-
ton. There seems to be a unanimity
of opinion among those who under
stand the far eastern situation that
the time is rapidly approaching when
the mastery of the Pacific must be
settled and that Japan is determined
TO decide this problem apart from San
Francisco trouble.
The students of far eastern politics
believe that the ruling party in Japan
is making ready to precipitate a con-
fict which will settle the supremacy
in the Pacific. Such a conflict would
necessarily be a naval struggle and
the German strategists believe that 1t
would be one of the most eVentful Of
modern times. According to the STRAIT
egists, the United States would be
somewhat at disadvantage in such
war, because the feet of Uncle Sam
would be called to engage in its fight
ing in Japanese waters and far from
its base of supply. This handicap,
they claim, would minimize the pre-
ponderating tonnage of the American
feet. Every detail OF the fighting
strength of the United States and ia
pan is attracting wide attention now
and the reports of the relations be-
tween the two countries are being
read with deep interest in Germany.

MONUMENT To
SOUTHERN GIRL
UNVEILED AT GADsDEN, ALA, BY
DAUGHTERS or coNFEDER-
AcY-EMMA SAMSON
THE HEROINE.
Mounted Behind Gen. N. 3. Forrest,
She Directed the "Wizard Of the
Saddle" How to Cross a River and
Capture Federal Raiders.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 4.-Un
der the auspices of Gadsden Chapter
United Daughters of the Confederacy
marble monument was unveiled al
Gadsden today TO Emma SAMSON, a
heroine of the Civil War period.
Miss SAMSON was a country girl
who resided near Black Creek Falls,
few miles from Gadsden. During
Gen. N. B. Forests pursuit OF the
Federal army raiders in April, 1868,
the Federal officer, Col. o. d. Streight,
burned the bridge over Black Creek
behind him and headed for Rome,
Ga. to destroy a Confederate cannon
factory. Forests army could not
cross the deep creek, whereupOn Miss
SAMSON sprang upon the Generals
horse behind him and pointed out the
way to a ford a few miles above the
scene of the burned bridge. Forrest s
troops then overlook the Federals and
captured them.
AS a token of appreciation OF her
thoughtful heroism the Alabama Legis-
lature adopted a memorial thanking
Miss SAMSON, and voted her $40 acres
of land and medal.
The monument unveiled today bears
on its base the figure of Forrest ON
his horse with the girl behind him
clinging to him and pointing the way
70 the ford. A statute OF the heroine
mounts the top of the pile. 1t is the
third monument in the South ever
erected to woman.
The unwilling ceremonies were
elaborate, Col. M. H. Cliff, o. Chatta-
nooga, who was with FORESTS army,
was the orator of the day.
Emma SAMSON married c. B. john
son and y died at Galloway, Tex, IN
1900.
