 "That's just enough of this," he growled. CT don't want to have any trouble with you. I had trouble with n conductor once. I'd hate to tell you what happened"
 The conductor drew back little and made no further attempt to collect the stout man s fare.
 But when the stout man was about to alight from the car at Pennsylvania avenue the conductor s curiosity was too much for him.

Sleeps on Telephone Poles

John Leitner, 27 years old, lineman of the Chesapeake X Potomac Telephone company, has a mania for falling asleep on telephone poles.
 Twice within forty-eight hours Lett ner has slumbered peacefully on the top of a pole and on both occasions the police have been called upon to take his supposed dead body from the wires.
 A few minutes before 12 clock to- day the superintendent of Timanus Mills telephoned to the Northern police station that an employee of the Chesa- peake X Potomac Telephone company had been stricken with electricity and that his body was resting on the wires.
 A moment later the Mount Vernon Mills, the Timanus Mills and other in dustries in the neighborhood were emp tied of their workmen going to dinner, but nearly all of them halted and, with pitying glances and terror.stricken faces leveled their eyes upon the still figure on the top of the pole.
 The man lay perfectly still One leg was thrown over a crossbeam, the other was wrapped around cables and his arms were extended and partly resting his dropping head on the beam above him. Just as the ambulance approached the pole the supposed dead man awak- ened, but lay down again.
 The policemen recognized him as the same individual who had fooled them last Saturday, and they ordered him down. Leitner descended and when he reached the foot of the pole he stag gered so perceptihly and talked so vaguely of the "wires being hot" that he was taken into custody and charged with being drunk.-Baltimore dispatch to the New York World.

mastery of the Pacific may some day
 cause the two countries to appeal to
 arms, neither eff them today has the
 slightest desire for war, and neither has
 tho slightest thing to gain from war.
 Japan has her hands full in Korea and Manchuria and America is not yet awake to the fact that her future lies
 in the Pacific. That talk of war is silly becomes evident if one makes even cursory examination of the facts. In the first place, no one believes that the American government would precipitate
 war, but there are many who believe that the Japanese government intends to do so. One statement is as foolish as the other. Japan has no idea of making war on the United States, and even if she wanted to do so, it would be inn possible for many reasons. Some one once said that in order to carry on a war country needed ten things. The first was determination, the second men, the third equipment and the other seven money. Now, admitting that the Jap anese as nation possessed the first of these, determination to fight the United States, what of the other requirementsg 2
 First, money. Japan s lack of money, if nothing else, would serve to prevent war at this time. In 1902 the Japanese national debt amounted to about $2l5,- 0O0,000, of which only $50,000,00 was held abroad Today the national debt is approximately $90O,000,000, two thirds of which is foreign. In 1902 the total revenue of the government was about $l47,000,000, and the expendi- lures were about $l44,000,000. The esti. mated revenue for 1907 was $l20,000,- 900, and the estimated expenditures $506,000,000 This difference was to be made up in part by the floating of an other loan of $l00,000,000. On the for eign loans which Japan foated for the purposes of paying the expenses of the war with Russia interest is being paid at from f to 6 per cent, and on her internal loans the interest runs from to per cent. Efforts are now being h''NN hV th' VI Bti ttHt bpHdS and replace them with bonds drawing only AZ per cent. To secure her enor- nous foreign loans, made at a time when Japan was fighting for her very existence, the Japanese were forced to pledge most of their national income, their customs receipts, and the receipts of the tobacco and other monopolies.
 With this financial showing, where could Japan obtain the money required for very long and very costly wari The money that defeated Russia came from America and England. In war with the United States, what country is there that would take the chance of loaning Japan such an enormous sum as would be requiredi No matter how much sentiment there might be in Ja- pans favor-and there is at least one great power that would without doubt welcome such a conflict-sentimen has never been failing of the great Euro pean bankers, and it is from them, in the end, that the money must come- Leslio's Weekly.

FORETOLD ONE WAR
 PREDICTS ANOTHER

If it were not for the fact that tn, German state counsellor, or ReglerunG seat, Rudolf Martin, had proved him self trustworthy prophet of interna tional affairs, even his high official posi- tion could hardly inspire the widespread and serious attention which his latest book, Emperor William II and King Edward Nll," is receiving in contin ental Europe. Quite year before the Russo-JapaneSe war he wrote ''The Future of Russia, in which that war. with it's attending Russian defeat, was marvelously foreseen. In the New York Times of June 24, 1906. an article by him was published which presented with the same unerring gift of previ- sion the economic history of Russia dur ing the last twelve months. These are some of the reasons which almost lift his latest book out of the realms of chance. He declares that unless the anti-German policies of most European ehancellories change Germany will in a short time find herself at war with both France and England, and what is more Germany will herself begin the con flict. He writes:
 "There are many Germans who be- lievc that there will be no war if no other country attacks Germany. Ger many they think, will never begin hos tilities. This opinion is so devoid of dignity, so dishonOrable, so humiliatinC that it cannot even be discussed bv patriotic Germans. Germany will eer- tainly fight when the hour for decisive action arrives. It is not true that we desire peace at any price; every Ger man desires war as soon as national in terests render war imperative.
 ''The war between Prussia and Aus. tria led to the formation of the North German Federation. The war between Germany and France led to the foun- dation of the German empire. The war between Germany and England will lead to the Greater Germany of the future. l"
 The instigator of the strife which will bring this further expansion of Germany about Chancellor Martin be- iAtNNS AAt htAo NAoNuNtith It is Edward VII of Great Britain, who, whether Liberal or Conservative gov ernment be in power, is in reality modern Caesar, who, on account of personal grudge against his royal and imperial nephew, William II, has shaped an anti-German policy in the principal chanoellories of Europe against the wishes of the British people. Concern ing these British people, Counselor Mar tin has words of unstinted praise-they have spread progress, enlightenment in the world. Intelligent Germans hold them in esteem.
 England Foresaw Germany's Policy
 But what is now the cause of British suspicion2 Why has the British Caesar eneireled Germany with a chain of trea- ties tending to prevent her natural ex- pansion not only in continental Europe, but in the near and far east and in Africal

Depends on Her seaboard Trade

At the same time it should not be forgotten, as was pointed out in an arti cle in the Washington Post a week ago. "Germany Must Now Look to Africa and America for Future Growth" that the essential point in Germany's ainbi tions is that the country has become de- pendent upon sea.borne trade. Her own harvest no longer feeds her. For 102 days out of every 365 Germany is fed on foreign corning; or the same fact is expressed differently in the statement that fifth to a quarter of her popula- tion is so fee. She is irrevoeably tied to a great import of food products and raw materials from temperate and trop ical zones. Besides, her growing ropu- lation needs new territory or must be- come finally lost as German subjects by emigration to foreign lands.
 So much for Germany's motives in desiring expansion. As to her motive in meeting thc anti-German coalition by threats of war, the sole object of which, by the confession of her own statesmen and publicists, would be for territorial and commercial gain, the attitude of State Counselor Martin fairly repre- sents German sentiment, while his pro- phecies graphically illustrate what Ger mans belieYe will eventually be realized.
 There i' no denying the fact that the treaties now formed between Japan and England, Japan and France and Japan and Russia, and the agreements between England and France, England, France and Spain, and England and Russia, to- gether witl, the growing friendly rela- tions between Italy and France and It. ally and Englapd, tend to operate in an anti German ma6per which will become suddenly manifest if Germany should again intervene as she did in Morocco two years ago. And the question is, i'm deed, as the German state counselor puts it, How long will Germany suffer this coercion?

to Lyons, and from the English Chan
 mel to the Mediterranean. The French
 are laboring under dangerous delu
 sion if they suppose that Germany will
 be satisfied with indemnity at the ter.
 imitation of such war.
 Germany would take permanent pos
 session of the northern provinces of
 the French republic, thereby gaining
 access to the sea at Calias and Cologne
 while Belgium and Luxembourg would be annexed to complete the triumph of imperial, indomitable Germany.
 Would Shatter England's Naval Power
 Witl France overrun, Russia, Spain, and otl,er countries of the anti-German league will not, according to Counselor Martin, have the courage to side against victorious Germany, and whatever Eng land may be able to achieve at sea, the poss ession by Germany of the coast from Cologne to Antwerp will be the beginning of the end of Great Britain s naval supremacy and of the invineibil- ity of the British Isles. All this is inevitable, declares the author, but all might Le prevented if only England would appreciate tbs inevitable expan- sion of the GerGan people and cease her policy of anti-German treaties and friendships. He then continues:
 In reality England should be the ally of Germany and not her enemy. Great Britain, the United States of America and Germany have more in common than any other countries in the world, so that triple alliance concluded be- tween them would be the most natural and the most desirable development in international affairs; yet England has concluded, and is continuing to conclude alliances and friendships with all sorts and conditions of countries all over the world, except with Germany.
 State Counselor Rudolf Martin is probably right in revealing the anti. German tendency to British foreign pol icy of the last five or six years He can hardly be right, however, in ascribing this policy to a personal grudge of King Edward against his nephew. Ger man threats, his own included, have by their number, their .vehemence, and the exalted character of their authors, formed a pretext, if not, indeed, justi- fled the obvious anti-German policy of Downing street that has of late been English statesmen.
 Ever since the Boer war one of the most permanent impressions left on the British mind has been the i'll will of Germany to Great Britain. Even the war, preceded by the kaiser's injudi- eious approval of President Kruger, was not sufficient to explain this anti-Brit ish sentiment. The war merely tapped the reservoir of TeutOric Anglophobia, and it has been flowing in a steady stream ever since. The first signs of this growing ill will, naturally, placed Great Britain on the defensive. To fall in with the express aims of German am bitions for territory and natural prod. uets and become an ally of Germany would not only have ieopardized British colonial possessions and British com meree, but would have impaired the character of the British empire, nur- tured by the smaller powers, as policing .l h..

that was more than we usually deem
