The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-02-14

~ ESIDES heavily fortifying the
u island of Formosa, part of the
I'D territory which she had wrested
from China after her triumph
over that nation, Japan has now >estab-
lished strong naval base at Making,
a harbor in the Pescadores. Making
lies about 600 miles distant from Ma
Mia, and Japan's purpose in establish
ing naval base at that place is the
most interesting feature of the work in
which she has recently been engaged.
Against what nation will she make
use OF Making as base?
What Could Be Done with Making
as a Base Against the Philippines.
The first suggestion-and one that
seems to be particularly natural In
view of our present relations with
Japan-is that Making would serve as
a base of operations against the
Philippines. The nearest American
naval base to the Philippines is Ha-
wall, 1880 miles away. With Ma
kung only 600 miles from Manila, the
Japanese fleet would have obviously a
great advantage over an American
feet, supposing that the operations
would take place in the neighborhood
of Manila. And certainly, unless the
United States proceeds much more
rapidly in the future than it has in the
past with the building of complete
naval station in the Philippines, the
Japanese will have superior repair
facilities at Making.
In the case also of an attempt by
Japan to occupy the Philippines with
troops, Making harbor would make an
admirable hiding place and protection
for transports, which would be out of
reach of an American fleet in case the
Japanese warships were defeated in
battle, and which could be readily
brought to Manila and other Philippine
ports in the event of Japanese naval
victory.
This is a possibility that naval off,
GERS in Washington have been quick to
see and appreciate. There is no actual
belief that Japan intends war-at pres
ent. Yet the existence Of powerful
naval base at Making, occupied by
nation of great naval efficiency, and
nation which would also profit greatly
by possession of the Philippines, is
naturally considered matter of i'm
portance to this country.
Japan Is heavily in debt. and she

vandyke points. 1t is slightly cut up

short bands and bows of silver tissue.
The square decolletage is outlined by
a band of jeweled embroidery with
large motif in front, from which a
deep fringe of glittering jewels hangs
far below the waist. Similar fringes
adorn the shoulders, hanging over
loose sleeves of white tulle; and folds

49, HOSE observers who have
made a study of Japan's
policy, long ago became i'm
pressed with her apparent
determination to be the
dominant nation Of the
east, to control Asia and to enthrone
Nippon as mistress of the entire ORR
ent. That the Pacific will be the
theater of the great commercial wars
of the future, If it is not the scene of
conflict of some other nature, has also
been freely predicted.
Thanks to the territory which she
wrung from the conquered in her two
recent wars, Japan has now an almost
unbroken Gordon strung along the
great eastern seaboard of China. A
glance at the appended map will show
her chain of island possessions reach
ing southwark as far as Formosa and
the Pescadores, chain of isles which
are reckoned as of vast Importance in

Japan's struggle for dominion, be that
struggle for commercial supremacy or
for military success.
What Japan has been doing with
these outlying possessions becomes
therefore subject which at the pres
ent moment must have a peculiar in
terest. Realizing this the New York
Times has made an exhaustive inquiry
into the matter and herewith presents
the results of its investigations.

BRIDE THREE
MONTHS BEFORE
FRIENDS KNEW
Mrs. Harvey Goode Won't Say
Who Tied the Knot-Wed
Salesman.

Eyes. I was married nearly three
months ago to Mr.. Goode, and, while
we did not make it public until now,
we are both happy and satisfied" said
Mrs. Harvey d. Goode today, in the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas Shields, of 10 Summit street.
Mrs. Goode, until June q last, was
Miss Margaret Clare Shields, a popular
young woman in the Summit Hill Sec
ton.
The fact that she decided to wed some
three months ago. without taking her
friends into her confidence, has added
an element of mystery to the event.
To still deepen the air Of secrecy which
has surrounded the match. the family
has not disclosed the name of the min
lister who tied the knot.
I'VE decided to be married quietly
last June. after a two years court
ship" said Mrs. Goode. and as both
the family of MI. Goode and my rela-
tives were present. and sanctioned the
match, we saw no reaso for taking
our friends and the public into our
confidence. Who married us will re-
main a secret for the present."
No record Of the wedding has been
filed with the city clerk, although the
recording of the nuptial bands was due
in the office by law two months ago.
Mr.. Goode formerly resided at q Hill
street. He Is a travelling salesman.

Sunday meal.

never drinks. and Is a very kind. steady
man, has been unable to get work"
