nations are already at work strangl. ng
that commerce with China. But In the
end Germany may be counted on as
our ally. 1t is not only our loss Of
Oriental commerce and self-respect
that is at stake, but this nation has
drifted to a point where it must look
about to save it's existence. We have
neglected our duty, and | hope the
sailing of this fleet means that we
have awakened. The trouble with us
Is that we have been too busy making
money.
Japan will continue warlike as long
as war is profitable. While we have
been sleeping Japan has, since the
Russian war, started to construct S7O,-
100000 worth of battleships after the
type of the Dreadnought. She has add
ed five divisions to her army; she mas
increased her arsenal activity, and has
established steel plants and other
plants for making the implements of
war, and hundreds of thousands of
men are at work night and day.
Japan, as a matter of fact, has al
ready taken Hawaii. She has 10000
trained and possibly armed subjects IN
the islands. They are there under the
guise of workmen, but they are train
ed soldiers and local subjects. Japan
is making the same arrangements to
take the Philip mes. She is wonder
fully strong in her merchant marine,
and is well supplied with money She
has war fund large enough to per-
nit her to engage in war for three
years without issuing a war tax. With
her merchant marine and other facii-
ties she could land 100000 men on our
Pacific Coast in three months, and IN
five months could put 100000 men
there, which invasion we could noL
meet with more than 100000 trained
soldiers.
In speaking of Japan's strong de-
sire and aim to invite war with the
United States" Representative Hobson
recounted the San Francisco school
trouble.
But President Roosevelt was too
quick and W Sc for them,' he said. ut
was an awful bitter pill to swallow
but they made us bow to her. The
President knew the United States was
unable to cope with Japan at the time
of the San Francisco incident, and he
should be commended for battling the
schemes of Japan even at the cost of
granting an injunction forcing one of
the great commemorative of this free
nation to suspend its laws of liberty at
the demand of a monarchy-an abso-
lutte and oriental monarchy at that"

Undoubtedly the most popular man
in Vienna today, after the Emperor
Franz Josef. is Doctor KerzI, his body
physician, who has keep the aged mon
arch in excellent good heath for twen-
ty long years with but one lapse-the
catarrhal attacks that afflicted his
Majesty some few weeks ago.
The Imperial body physician, though
one of Vienna's greatest medical au-
thorities, has but one patient, the En-
peror. He lives. strives, studies, ex-
Deriments and investigates for Franz
Josef and no one else.
The court and government having
intrusted him with the care of the
monarch's health, he turned nature

must be rather to prevent than cure

First of all. he laid down a strict
regime for the richest monarch in the
world. and though before DR.. Kerzl's
appointment Franz Josef had been

Dinners in the imperial court are
as elaborate as ever. But while the
mobiles of the realm indulge in the
finest meats and choicest wines, Franz
Josef has on his Golden plate boiled
