A TALL TIGER .

Tigers are impressive creatures, e.
oecially when one meets them in the
forest. George Maxwell writes or

most every one has a peculiar sensa

tiger will overawe and make conscious
Of his inferiority man who would be

manager of a great tin mining com
many in Perak. We had just finished
lunch when he entered in state of
tremendous excitement Walking alone
and unarmed along an unfrequented
bride path through the forest, he had
walked almost on to tiger.
HE gave Us most vivid narrative
of the encounter-how the tiger had
been lying down concealed in some
long lalang grass beside the path; how
he was within ten yards of 1t before
he saw It; how then it rose and looked
at him; how 1t yawned at him: how II
then walked slowly across the path in
froat of him and then stopped and
looked It him. again yawning. and how
It then deliberately walked away into
the forest whose depths finally hid 1t
from view.
Some one asked the Frenchman
whether 1t was q big tiger. He an

NO WAR, SAYS PERKINS
Japan and America Would Arbitrate,
Declares Senator

WASHINGTON, Feb. lin an ad-
dress before the National Geographical
Society tonight. Senator Perkins of
California dwelt at length upon the
probability of a conflict between the
Americans and the Japanese, two ir-
reconcilaDle races" as he pronounced
them. Senator Perkins said:

together that it will be. difficult TO settle the
question at all Japan is still in the flush of

terposed barrier to Russian supremacy in
Eastern Asia.
The primary ambition of Japan is to colonize
the overflow population of the empire In ad-
jacent countries under its own sovereignity
This is the true beginning of real national ex-
pansion, but in addition to this the inherent
Japanese traits of patriotic impulses will make
them foreign element In any country to which
they may migrate. Real expatriation is
dition practically impossible to the Japanese
mind The extent to which the Japanese viii
occupy the territory of friendly powers will be

He will impress upon the San Fran

issue is national, and that only spark
of generosity on their part, by yield
ing to such of the Japanese demands
as accord with the American spirit of
square dealing, can save. the Governs
ment of the United States from serious
embarrassment.
On the other hand, the President is

this racial instinct.
Conflicts between nations are the result of
antagonism which underlies the very founda tion

and expansion. The presence of Russia as a
prime factor In the commerce of the Pacific
Coast was inimical to the aspirations of the
japanese empire In the same line The occu-
patton of Manchuria and the fortiicat ton of

the war was the inherent antagonsm of inter-

tfon than the arbitrament of the sword.

We have laid. the foundation. for commercial
supremacy ON the Pacific Coast and at some
point in the future course of national destiny
the pathway of national progress on the part
of Japan and the United States will converge
to a point of Inevitable conflict.
1t is useless to speculate as to what the oc-
casion excuse for this conflict may be. The
small cloud of war which is now hanging on :the
horizon of the two nations appears 10 relate to
the dissatisfaction of the Japanese with the
policy of California relating to It's educational
