for man, the Japanese navy may be
regarded as the equal of that OF the
United States, but the overpowering
superiority Of the United States navy
in battleship strength may, with no
less doubt, be assumed to constitute an
insurmountable barrier against war
between Japan and this country. With
the proper handling of our naval forces
the command of the sea could be won
by the United States in the early weeks
of a war with Japan and this command
once secured the rest of the war would
be comparatively easy for the United
States. With the Japanese feet defeat
ed crippled or otherwise driven from
the sea, no Japanese expedition could
reach our shores, and even If, at the
outset Japan should make the probable
invasion OF the Philippines, the forces
she might land there would be cut off
from their base in a short time. On
the other hand, the sea would be free
for the aggressive operations the Unit
ed States might wish to undertake, and
as aggression is conceded by military
experts to be the best defense, ag-
gressive operations would almost to
certainty be started early in the hypo-
thetical war.
Japan knows all these things; at
least, official, intelligent Japan knows
them. Her statesmen will hardly do
anything to provoke war with this
country. Unless Japan can double the
strength of her navy this country
meanwhile standing still and adding
nothing to her fleet, she cannot fight US.
But above all is fact that money
makes the war as well as the mare

ODD LIGHTNING FREAK

r HE other day a freak incident
which might not happen again in
a thousand years occurred In the
Banner mine at Nevada City Near
the hosting works is an immense
woodpile, and when bolt of lightning
played in a freakish manner around
the works the big pile was shattered
as If by a cyclone. Wood and splin-
tered logs flew in every direction, and
the phenomenon was accompanied by
frightful noise, which caused those
who heard it to think that the big
boiler of the works had burst. In the
shaft of the works Is a steel pump and
the current must have communicated
with the pump rod, carrying the cleo
tricity 900 feet down into the bowels
of the earth. Two men were at work
on the 800 level, and when the light
ming came shooting down the shaft
Johnson jumped for the tank and hid

under 1t, while his companion. Erick
EuIend, was felled to the floor Far
below them on the 900 level Ed HILL
man had monkey wrench in his hand
and was about to use 1t, when it sud-
denly disappeared as II by magic. He
didn't waste any time either, but as
soon as he could stand up he rang for
the skip and the three men got busy
getting hoisted to the surface.
When the accounts of what had hap
pened on the surface and under the
surface were told 1t was not hard to de-
eide just what had taken place The
three miners were Immensely relieved
to find that 1T was only an unruly
bolt Of lightning.

for carts. buggies. brakes and expen-
sive carriages. Their orders are sent
to France or Austria through a few
importing houses. who make no effort
to keep a stock on hand AS a general
rule imported vehicles OF the light con-
struction so popular in America 1s4l
to give satisfaction there. The pave
ments in Smyrna are exceedingly rough
and uneven. Some roads in the imme-
diate vicinity are kept In excellent
condition. Most, however, are in de-
pIorable state and render very solid
construction absolutely necessary in
the case of all vehicles intended for
general use in all parts of the sur
rounding region. Two light American
carriages imported to Smyrna last year
were discarded after few months use
and are now standing idle.
AS conditions now are it is difficult TO
secure a market at Smyrna for vehicles
other than those of a costly and excep-
tional character, and even they should

ARNoRED CRUISERS (14l.

The Japanese navy has Is unarnored
cruisers, IL gunboats of seagoing class

submarines. Nearly all of these are
OF recent pattern and in good condition.
Additions are being made steadily TO

consideration are those which may. be
mobilized within the next six months.
In contrast with the Japanese yes

measured by its strength in battle

ready 10 strike the heaviest blows and
10 receive the heaviest blows Of naval
warfare. All other classes Of ships are
but auxiliary to the battleships and
armored cruisers, armored cruisers be-
ing but little less effective for wide op-
erations than the battleships.
in a consideration Of the relative
strengths Of the two navies for the pur-
poses Of the present discussion OF
theoretical war within the next twelve
month. IL is necessary TO deal only with
the vessels already complete and those
that may be completed within the next
six or eight months. With such vessels
the United States is much the better
provided
The United States has twenty-seven
frst-class battleships against the thir-
teen Of Japan. Japan, il is true, has
fourteen armored cruisers against the
ten Of the United States, but the dis
parity between the number Of battle
ships far outweighs this advantage. In
unarmored cruisers and gunboats the
United States is much the superior,
both in numbers and, as rule, in
quality.
In torpedo craft. however, Japan is
our superior. having l27 such vessels
against but sixty possessed by the
United States. This seeming advantage
is lessened when il is remembered that
torpedo boats are capable only Of spo-
radio attacks, which may be readily re-
PEELED by an alert enemy's rapid-fre
guns. and are chiefly useful, as was
shown in the Russo Japanese war, for
delivering the coup-de-grace TO Grip
pied enemy after his heavy ships have
been actually defeated. With the
American superiority in battleships
such a crippled condition would not be
probable for an American feet
Japan came out OF the war with
Russia really stronger, from naval
standpoint, than she was when she en-
tered upon it. Although she lost some
fine vessels she captured from Russia
more than enough to compensate for
them To the credit OF Japan be IL
said here that she has been the first
among the nations Of the world 10
show TO defeated enemy the courtesy
OF changing the names OF the vessels
captured. Every former Russian ship
now in the japanese navy has been re-
christened and now bears a japanese
name. II was not so with England,
France and the United States in their
wars with each other. We long car
ried a Guerrfere, a Java Cyane, a
Levant and ships with British names
on our navy lists. England has long
carried a Redoutable, a Temeraire and
a President on her roster. Japan has
set the commendable example OF
changing the names of the vessels she
has captured and has lhus done much
toward saving the pride and healing
the wounds OF her late adversary.

Efficient Japanese Officers

With these officers. and with others
trained thoroughly IN the naval school
which Japan has herself established,
the efficiency OF the Japanese personnel
has been assured. No better proof OF
It's ability could have been produced
than the magnificent conduct OF the
Japanese navy during the recent war
with Russia. From high strategy down
10 acts OF individual skill and daring
The japanese naval officers and men
demonstrated during that war that
they have nothing TO learn from Euro
means and Americans. With such men
10 man their ships the Japanese are
certain TO get the best results from
their tools OF war.
IN quality OF material the japanese
navy is excellent Like all other ma
vfes. the Japanese carries on it's lists
same more or less antiquated craft, but,
ID ours. the great majority OF It's YES
sAss are new and in fine condition. AL

architecture and ordnance.
Nevertheless, it Is a fact that the

OF a war.
Japan is in the van of modern ad-
vance in naval architecture. Profiting
by her experience in the war with
Russia, she is now building two enor-
NOUS formidable battleships, which
NAV be compared with the celebrated
British Dreadnought These are the
Satsuma and the Aki. The Satsuma
is being built atsYokohama and will be
finished this year, as will the Aki, and
these two warships will be among the
most notable that any nation has built
for a long time, not excepting the
Dreadnought. OF $4,000 tons displace-
ment, each of these great vessels viii
carry a main battery composed of four
12-inch and twelve 10-inch breechload-
ing rifles, and a secondary battery OF
twelve 4.7-inch rapid fire guns and a
multitude of smaller pieces. Such a
powerful battery is expressive. At the
same time, the American Navy Depart
ment has asked Congress at its present
session to authorize the construction of
the most powerful battleship yet de-
signed anywhere in the world, the new
Constitution, in the main battery of
which it is proposed to mount twelve
11-fnch guns

anese battleships and armored cruisers.
The dates OF their launchings will give
an idea as TO their modernity; their
dfsplacements are fair measures of
their size and power and their speeds
indicate their degree of uniformity and
mobility. Those with former names
