UNPREPARED FOR WAR.
In Conflict with Japan Uncle Sam
Might Lose Islands and Alaska.

CONNECT Japdlh OHSkC sam
Might Lose Islands and Alaska.
The war-like attitude of Japan is
causing considerable anxiety among
officials of the government and officers
of the navy who are familiar with the
absolute lack of adequate preparation
on the part of the United States for
hostilities.
1t is said that a declaration of war
by Japan would be followed by the inn
mediate loss of our Philippine posses
sions, Guam, Hawaii, Alaska and the
menacing of our Pacific coast.
The United States is to-day less pre-
pared to meet Japan in the Pacific
waters than Spain was on 1898 to meet
the United States All the strength
of our fleet is at present in Atlantic
waters, and the small ships in the far
east would be as junk to the powerful
and well concentrated Japanese navy.
The story is summed up in the bare
statement that to-day there is but one
drydock of capacity to dock a battle

SEES ORIENTAL PERIL ON SLOPE.
President of California University
Asserts Problem Is Grave.


Asserts Problem Is Grave.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the
University of California, who is in New
York, believes that the conditions on the
Pacific coast, in so far as the oriental
peoples are concerned, are grave and pre-
sent to the residents a question that will
not be easily solved. In an interview
Mr.. Wheeler said: 1T is not a question
of whether the japanese and Chinese
shall go to the same schools as the white
children, neither is it a question as to
whether some of the japanese have been
assaulted or treated badly, but the ques-
ton is one much broader in its scope. 1t
is simply whether the people of the Pa
cific coast shall become inoculated with
the oriental ideas and plans of proceed
ure or whether they shall remain on a
truly occidental basis. Shall or shall not
the Pacific coast States suffer the same
fate as has Hawaii? Shall the States on
the coast be overrun with Japanese and
finally feel the effects of their presence
as it is felt in the places where they are
largely in evidence"

People Ready TO Establish Republic
Unless Carlos Recedes.

A correspondent says in letter mailed
from Lisbon few days age that King
Carlos throne is in imminent danger of
being swept away by the rush of a great
democratic wave, swollen suddenly to
dangerous proportions by the act of des-
potism which he permitted on May l. The
people do not forget, the correspondent
says, that last year the king condemned
Premier Ribeiro's attempt to dissolve the
Cortes and they contrast this attitude
toward a conservative premier with the
curious illogical license he has given to
premier Franco. The general feeling of
the country is one of advanced liberalism
and a repetition of autocratic bungling
can only have one result to-day in Por-
tugal, the writer says, namely, the de-
position of the king and the establish
ment of a republic.

Criminal Is Not Properly Treated.

Before the national conference Of
charities and correction in Minneapolis

arraigned society for its lack of intelli-

fective are treated nationally and sympa-
thetically with the object of curing them
of their disorders. 1t is not so, he said,
with the criminals. Mr.. Scott presented
the report of the committee on prisons
and police, of which he is chairman. The
report emphasizes the proposition that
punishment should not be the basic prin-
ciple in dealing with the criminal, but
that in all cases the principle should be
corrective.
