COMMUNISM FAR OFF
Founder of Holland Colony Says 1000 Years May Suffice to Adapt Race.

New York, March s.-Presenting his views on political communism as a remedy of existing sociological con- ditions, before tha Civic Forum at Carnegie hall tonight, Frederick Van Eeden, the sociologist, poet and foun- der of the communistic colony In Walden, Holland, declared that com mon possession of the soil was utterly worthless unless the community to which the soil belonged was well or ganized Mir. Van Eeden said: "Pri- vate ownership in the hands of a good landlord Is eminently preferable to common ownership in the hands of a badly trained and poorly organized community,
 organization, strict. powerful, functIonating organization, that is the all-commanding condition of com munism. and of land communism in the first place.

In spite of the threatening weather yesterday afternoon, the Yale Art

CONDITION IS GRAVE
Head of Boston and Maine Says

MEN CONSIDER WAGE CUT
Brotherhoods of Tfainmcn Hold Meet. ings, But No Decision is
 Reached

Boston, March S.-A meeting of rep resentatives of the various brother hoods of railroad trainmen and lodges of railway conductors, of every sec ton of the Boston and Maine railroad system, was held in. Ford hall to-day to discuss the proposition of President Luclus Futile of the railroad that the men agree to reduction of i've per cent. in their wages until July l. The gathering was secret and nothing was given out about the proceedings except that no vote was taken.
 A. meeting to consider the same mat ter was held to-day by 800 Boston and Maine railroad, freight handlers, in Charlestown. 1,nter in she week it is announced, another meeting will be held to receive and act upon a com munication from Vice President Charles E. Lee of the railroad.
 In a letter addressed to the conduc- tors, trainmen and firemen President Futile, after suggesting the proposed wage decrease, laid stress upon its ne- cessity by saying:
 The emergency in the company's affairs is more grave than anything that has happened within my experi- ence, and rgret to say that the out look for the future gives no indication of improvement. As those employed by the company are jointly interested with those who own 1t, in bearing equitably the results arising in bad as well as In good times, I feel sure that upon careful consideration of this matter as l am presenting 1t to you, practically everyone concerned will willingly agree to make. the small tenn porary sacrifice in their wages that have suggested as being absolutely necessary and unavoidable.

CHINA APOL0GIZES
Nation Promises to Punish Off,
 cials Who Insulted Mika- dos Flag.
JAPAN READY FOR WAR
Navy Includes Twice the Number of Battleships as During the
 Russian War.

London. March S.-A special des- patch received here states that China has apologized to Japan for hauling down the Japanese flag when the steamship Tatsu Maru was seized. The despatch further states that China later will reply to the Japanese gov ernment regarding the seizure of the steamer and it's cargo.
 The statement was made at the Jap anese embassy here to-day that China has expressed deep regret for hauling down the Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru and has promised to punish the officials responsible for this act. It was further stated that China had prom ised to reply later concerning the seiz- ure of arms.
 Tokio, March G0:30 a. m.)-There were no developments throughout Sun day or to-day in connection with the Tatsu affair. Meantime Japan is un- doubtedly preparing for eventualities. The entire decision in the case rests with Premier Saionji and foreign min ister Hayashi. There has been no h. dlcation of the period of time that Jap- an will await China's reply,
 What action Japan will take in the event that she decides immediately to take independent action is a matter Tokio. It is believed that 1t is entire ly improbable that Japan will make any effort to retake the Tatsu or send warships to Canton waters. While war is regarded as most improbable the na- val base at Sasebo is extremely active
 It is announced that a part of the first squadron will leave port on March l4. The armored cruiser Chiyoda sud denly left port last night. Coaling Is proceeding rapidly and a number of torpedo boat destroyers have already coaled. Enormous supplies in storage at Sasebo are being hurried aboard the vessels.
 At the office of the admiralty 1t is pointed out that the first squadron ex- pected to start on training manoeuvres this week, fact announced two months ago: therefore the activity at Easebo should not necessarily be con sidered in connection with the Tatsu incident
 Some reliable figures are now on hand showing the present strength of the Japanese navy as compared with it's strength when the war broke out. Details are appended, but the totals may be briefly stated, viz: 157 vessels of all descriptions representing a ton mage of 2S3, 742 tons before the war and 2e4 vessels and 515,0s2 tons at the pres ent day. Further scrutiny of the fig ures shows that Japan to-day possess es more than twice the number of bat tleships she had before the ward a third as many armored cruisers. three more other cruisers and nearly three times as many destropers, but three fewer torpedo boats.
