CHINA is NAUGHTY.
Her Attitude Causes Some Uneasiness
in Japan.

Special Cabegram TO The Star.
TOXIC, September 3.-The attitude of
China toward Japan is gradually becoming
more and more unconciliatory. and the SEN
timent is now versing upon an anti-Japa-
nese crusade. Indignation is felt here at
China's sudden change of front and the
situation at Picking is attracting the atten-
ton of public thinkers. 1t is believed in
some quarters that 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to impress upon China the unreason-
ableness of her present attitude and for
this purpose 1t is proposed to send one of
Japans foremost statesmen to represent
Japan in China Count Okuma is suggested
for this mission. or Prince Ito might be
asked to go after affairs have been settled

TO SUPPLANT SENIORS
Junior Captains to Be Selected
for the Pacific Cruise.
TO CARRY CUT NEW POLICY
Many Changes Proposed by Bureau
of Navigation.
FEW DETAILS YET ARRANGED
Employment of Younger Men in
Higher Places of Command
Favored.

Admiral Evans has taken his big battle
snip fleet on cruise northward from
Hampton roads. He started yesterday,
leading the way with his flagship the Con-
nectlcut his announced destination being
Cape Cod bay, but it is understood at the
Navy Department that the fleet will make
no haste going north, but will indulge in
drills, signal practice and various kinds of
fleet and squadron formations on the cruise.
The fall target practice is to begin next
Monday and this will be the last oppor-
tunty the big ships will have to test their
great guns before they drop anchor In
Magdalena bay. on the western coast of the
continent, some time in the early spring.
AS already indicated in the press dis
patches, in execution of a new policy, of
which Admiral Brownson, the present chief
OF the navigation bureau, is one of the au-
thors. that bureau having direct charge of
naval personnel has, ever since the move
ment of the battleship fleet to the Pacific
was determined upon, been planning con-
siderable changes in the commands of the
battleships and in minor places, clear down
to and including the bluejackets of the

Replacing Enlisted Men.

That branch of the navigation bureau
which Is charged with the supply of nom
commissioned officers. petty officers, war
rant officers, engineers, gunners and able
seamen is also busy just now in preparing
for the winter cruise of the battleship
squadron. large portion of the blue
jackets are what are known as short term
men, whose enlistment, would expire during
the cruise soon after the ships arrived
on the Pacific coast. 1t will be necessary
to replace these men before the start is
made from the Atlantic coat and Com
mander Wilson. in charge of the enlisted
branch, is planning to make these reliefs.
Fortunately he finds the task easier than
was expected. for the reason that the re-
cruiting parties which the Navy Depart
ment has had in the field during the past
summer have been remarkably successful
in securing an abunG ance of the best posi-
BILE material for American memo -warsmen,
and this, too Notwithstanding the fact that
the army has had very bad luck In the
gathering of recruits for the military serv-

Departments New Policy.

The keynote of this new policy is found
In the decision of the department not to
appoint officers to places of high command
unless the navy as a whole will profit d.
rectly by the experience these officers would
acquire in such places. 1t is regarded as
worse than useless, for instance to send
senior captain on the great projected Pa
cific cruise. The officers in command of
the battleships on that cruise would &C
qulre undoubtedly much valuable expert
ence in the management of one of these
great structures on long voyages, in which
war conditions are to be reproduced as far
as possible. Yet, were such senior officer
thus employed by reason of his speedy
promotion to the grade of rear admiral, he
would no longer be in position to employ
in command of the battleships. For this
reason the determination was reached to
make some changes in the battleships'
commands as they stand at present. Be
yond perhaps three or four cases, which
have already been mentioned, the details
of the changes have not been arranged, but
as 1t is customary to afford an officer rea-
sonable notice of change in his assign
ment it is probable the announcement will
be made by the list of November at the
latest the older captains now with the fleet
giving place to junior officers of that grade.
Even then Admiral Evans fleet will be
commanded as far as its units CO. by off,
GERS of mature age, compared with those of
other naVieS, for none of the captains
the available list Is less than tifty-three
years of age, or at the time of life when
In other navies they would be discharging
the duties of rear ddmlralS at the least. 1t
is not believed to be feasible at present,
however to go below the grade of captain
in picking the commanders of battleships,
but the growing belief in naval circles that
the strenuous conditions of modern naval
warfare require The services of younger
men in high places of command is expected
to take form in some important additions
to the naval personnel act, which will prob
ably be suggested Dy President Roosevelt
to the next Congress.
