JAPAN IS NOT
SEEKING WAR
Regards United States as Her Best
Friend.
JAPAN IS BURDENED WITH DEBTS.
Statement of Former Ambassador Luke
Wright, Who Has Just Returned
From Tokio-Chsracteriz Talk of
Hostilities as Being mot Even Re-
spectacle Nonsense.

Washington, d. c. Especially -
mot even respectable nonsense"
was the way former Ambassador
Luke Wright, who has just returned
from Toxic to resume private life.
characterized the war talk between
the United States and Japan. The
Ambassador had a long talk with
Acting Secretary of State Adee, hav-
ing called to close his official con-
nection with the department, pre-
paratory to going to his home, at
Memphis, Tenn.
Governor Wright was in Japan as
the representative of the United
States when the assault upon Japan
csc restaurant-keepers was made in
San Francisco and Japanese were
barred from the schools. He had not
left Toxic when the announcement
was made by the Secretary of the
Navy that the Atlantic fleet would
be transferred to the Pacific Coast.
He said that the voyage OF the At
lantic fleet did not stir official cir
cles in Japan to adverse comment,
as it was understood that the in
terests of the United States in Pa
cific waters made it natural for this
of it's naval force there.
The San Francisco incident was
not so peaceably Viewed, Mr.. Wright
said, as the action of the school
board in San Francisco was of an
official character and provoked much
discussion. He thought the prompt
action taken by the administration
in attempting to smooth over the
situation appeased most of the anger
felt in official circles in Japan.
But Japan does not want war
with the United States, nor any ma
tion," declared Mr.. Wright. THE
country is burdened with debts and
heavy taxation. The rate OF taxa
ton has been increased since the
war with Russia. Further than this,
she has Korea on her hands, and
that is no easy problem. China, too,
demands her attention. Further
than this, Japan looks upon the
United States as her best friend.
She always has so regarded this
country"

CHINA ON HER DIGNITY.
Refuses To BE Amy Longer BuIIdozed
BY Japan.

Mukden (By Cable) .-For two
months the persistent demands Of
Japanese for concessions of forests,
mines, land, salthouses and other
things desired have been stubbornly
refused by the Chinese viceroy and
governor. In consequence of his i'll
success the Japanese consul gener-
al has been transferred to another
point, the struggle in the meantime
being abandoned, though reprisals
are threatened.
The Chinese conducted the diff
cult negotiations with great ability,
indicating a restoration of self-con-
fidence and an intelligent perception
Of political conditions, national rights
being recognized and defended with
out fear.
Great progress has been made in
all departments of the government
concerned in Manchuria. A strong
army of $4,000 men is safeguarding
the future peace of the country.
The viceroy will soon leave on a
tour of inspection of the northern
provinces. The harvest is abundant.
The Japanese population and COM
merce are increasing steadily and
other trade prospects are good.

us Marriage Failure?" is a sub
ject which men, many of them, have

remains for a woman to point out
the Weaknesses of her sex, and Mrs.
Anna A. Rogers, who tries to tell
the world "Why Marriage Fails" in

failure of marriage Mrs. Rogers puts
,on the shoulders of the women. The
steady discomfort with married life
which is rife in the land--in our
land partfcularly-she attributes to
three causes: ID Woman's failure

In the world; CD her growing in
dividualism, and CD her lost art of
giving. Instead, she always wishes
to take.
On the point that marriage is
woman's work in the world, Mrs.
Rogers shows that the workout In
the battle of the world is mans part.
and she thinks that much of the
trouble comes because woman Is not
content to do her own duty, which,
