A OAAGER TO BRITAIN ALSO
Japanese Question Comes Home
Forcibly to the English.
Their coIonIsts A. Anxious Az We "a
Exclude Yellow Race-Duty 70
Own Flesh and Blood.

London. July 13.-The weekly re-
views comment gravely upon the Jap
anese- American situation. They ex-
press relief that the immediate ten
sion appears to have been relieved,
but they foresee that It is not impos-
slbls, In the more or less distant fu-
ture, that the same problem should
confront Great Britain that now con-
fronts the United States.
The Spectator publishes a thought
full article in which, although 1t DIS
misses the idea that war between ia
pan and America Is wholly incredible,
II admits with reluctance that the sit
uaion contains many elements Of anx-
iety, saying II is almost inevitable
that there should come a conflict,
sometime or other, out of the Anglo
Saxon resistance to the landing Of
Japanese immigrants in the territories
bordering the Pacific ocean. The col
onists Of Australasia, Africa and Can,
ada are as anxious as the people of
California to exclude the yellow races.
With all respect toward Japan, the
Spectator is unable to withhold its
sympathy from the colonists. 1t says
circumstances have forced the Amer
leans to be the pioneers In working out
the problem, but 1t is impossible to
foresee how soon another series of ac-
cldents may not bring Great Britain
face to face with similar difficulties.
Consequently the paper expresses the
most earnest hope that the British
government and press will DO the ut
most | ntheir power to assist in the
promotion in peaceful and~enduring
solution of the Anerican-Japanese
problem, the government By the tact
full influence Of an ally and the press
by the avoidance Of any comment that
might prove to be an embarrassing
precedent In the future.
With all sympathy and admiration
for Japanese aspirations and the Jap
anese themselves, we must admit the
review concluded that Great Britain's
first and last duty is to her own flesh
and blood.

London. July 1S.-It is probable,
although Sir Thomas Upton viii net
admit It, that the New York yacht
club will receive a challenge for the
Americas cup for 1908. The time for
challenging does not expire until oc-
tober and II is not likely that the
challenge will be sent until the last

UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY, TALK

My Dear Children:
You would not think that dressing a
doll would take much money, and yet IN
the aggregate quite a fortune Is spent
annually in providing becoming clothes
for the toys which are dearest to q girl ;
heart.
1t is estimated that fully half a million
dollars a year is spent in New York on
dolls dresses. This figure seems almost
Incredible. but has come from n good au-
thority. There are 400 women who devote
all their time to the development OF dolls
outfits and find 1t a profitable business.
Children In quite moderate circumstances
insist on having one new frock Tor each
doll At least once n year, but there are
little mothers who nave most extraVa-
CANT ideas for their dolls which are car
rled out by doll modistes who visit the
shops and keep in constant touch with an
the latest whims of fashion,, making min
iature comics of the latest creations in
frocks, coats. hats and lingerie.
A dolls trosseau recently made Is q
marvel of beauty. IT contains a bridal
outfit. from the wedding gown down TO
the "trotting' suit of black and white
checked %taffeta. The lingerie follows the
latest Parisian ideas and Is trimmed with
flmy laee and neatly beribboned In the
most approved style. Machine stitching
Is almost entirely eliminated from a
fashionable dolls outfit. and in its place
Is used the finest kind Of hand sewing,
which will not draw. Dolls trunks have
every convenience and usually contain
several trays in order that the dainty
dresses will not be crushed in packing.
