for what reason the future will dis

One of two theories must be ac-

preparation in the East threatens our

more open to objection were 1t not
for the fact that the real character Of
our battleships is we'll known to the
japanese and that they have a much
better opportunity than we have to
compare them with their own ships.
Assuming on the other hand that
the loving disposition the japanese
are said to have, by those who know
little about 1t, to be showing to us a
case OF genuine affection or altrustic
regard for the security and prosperity
