 Walter Clark, the Post-IntElligenc er's Washington correspondent, recog~ nizes he hostile attitude Of Speaker Cannon toward Alaska and he hints at cause for it. In a recent dispatc h he says:

Since his return the speaker has given nobody any cause for undue ela- ton by reason of his attitude toward the various measures which have been proposed in congress for the benefit Of Alaska"

Just as Germany had war of prep
arfation to get ready for the main
aration to get ready for the main
the nation, SO had Japan.
Germany, or that part of it then
known as Prussia, first tested the eff
fciency Of its military system against
Austria in 1866, and scored speedy
victory. In this conflict the best mil
itary minds of the nation were en-
gagged in a close study Of the art of
warfare. The strength and weakness
OF the army was inspected with mi
nutest care. This war meant nothing
but preparation for the greater con
t1ict soon to come And when Ger
many met France, she was ready for
that war because the equipment used
against Austria four years before had
been developed and prepared, import
ed and increased.
So with Japan. The quarrel with
China afforded convenient pretext
for a struggle that would give data,
would enable Oyama and other fore
most military authorities to see Just
how formidable was the military and
naval engine they had been building up.
Germany was ready. France was
not. So anxious was Bismarck for
war in 1870 that the famous forged
telegram Of Ems was made to AFFORD
pretext for an instant declaration.
Taking a lesson from this subter-
fuge, the Japs similarly precipitated
the struggle with Russia, by attack

hlIMICRY HAS MADE .
JAPAN GREAT NATION
Took Germany Model and Faithful Imitation Has
Made Japan Poyer in the World

Japan's extraordinary success Of
the last decade is the result OF a
faithful imitation Of another wonder
fully successful nation.
Germany is Japan's model.
Thirty-hve years ago, when the mi
kado's land began to feel the first
thrill Of the new life. the counsellors
of the ruler sought model which
could be followed. lin the effort for
new, progressive national existence.
Germany, at that time in full flush
Of the wonderful triumph over the
French, victory which gave the
Fatherland an impetus that has car
ried it forward in leaps and bounds
attracted Nippon.
The German empire had just been
newly formed out of a heterogeneous
collection Of states that hitherto had
had little in common, and between
whom only discord had reigned. Yet
so perfect was the system evolved by
the genius of Emperor William, Count
Won Moltke and Bismarck, that the
new nation had been able to over

produced Napoleon, greatest soldier Of
the country, and which few years be-
fore the outbreak Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war had emerged victor in the
struggle for the freedom of Italy.
Here was the country whose career
Japan wished to emplate The imita-
tive Orientals made study of the
Fatherland, it's government, it's insti-
tutions, it's military and governmental
systems.
And so faithful has been the imita-
ton that in a few years Japan has
emerged from almost barbarity into
one of the worlds half dozen powers.
The story Of how Japan elected to
follow in the footsteps of Germany,
was told recently by Gen. Baron
Nishi, inspector general of military in
struction in the Japanese army, who

In addition to these Samuel w. Pen
nypacker, governor of the state while
the crimes were being committed, is
censured for not having prevented
their commission
These are the men at whom the
capitol commission has pointed an ac-
cusing finger, but it is said that even
this is not the end, and that before
the cases have gone through the
courts others will be involved in the
immense scandal.
The story of how the state was
robbed would be amusing but for the
hugeness of the cost to the people.
The job was so skillfully done that
perhaps it would never have been dis
covered but for the accident that put
Democrat. w. H. Berry, in the state
treasurer's office. In fact, ,Pennsyl-
vania, ignorant of how it had been de-
frauded, was extolling those who built
the capitol at the very time that Mr..
Berry was getting together his facts

The Japanese Bismarck, the Count
Hlroumbi Ito, born in 1910, made a
visit to Germany in his youth, and
discovered that the civilization of
Japan so much Wanted at home was
far inferior to what they knew in the
Fatherland. He also made a tour of
Europe, and even came to the United
States, but his preference was ever
Tor German ideas.
In 1886 he entered as premier the
reorganized cabinet of the mikado.
and thereupon inaugurated many Of
the modern movements whose fruit
Nippon is reaping now.
He was the father of the constitu-
ton which was promulgated in 1889.
and which it is frankly admitted fol-
lows closely on the lines of the prin.
ciples of German government,
Like Bismarck, Ito was not content
to remain statesman purely and simp.
ly. When the war in China came in
1894, the premier took command of a
Japanese fleet, and conducted himself
with bravery and SKILL
In the West it is not possible to
know all that Ito> has done for Japan,
and any intelligent Japanese will tell
you that he has richly merited his
comparison to. Bismarck.
The vital part played by Won
Moltke in the successful issue of the
Franco-Prussian struggle was always
admitted even by Bismarck himself.
Bismarck was the man of action; Won
Moltke the planner.
Similarly Japan has planner in the
famous Field Marshal Oyama, under
whose ideas were fought the struggle
with Russia. It is not denied that at
