Continues to Prophesy Clash Between
Japan. and United States.

Paris, Jan. 8.-The sensational sec-
ton Of the French press continues to
dwell upon the probability of clash
between Japan and the United States
La Presse today publishes long in
terview with jacques Flach, the his
torian, and professor in the College Of
France, who declares his belief that
a conflict is certain, for the reason
that Japan seeks war. He advises the
American feet to be prepared for a
sudden Japanese descent and asks:
"Who knows If the attack made By
the Japanese on the Russian ships at
Chemulpo will not be repeated upon
the American ships tomorrow"
Continuing, NJ. Flach advises Great
Britain and France to intervene and
put an end to the trouble before 1t is
too late.
The journal Des Debats. more con-
sentative paper, prefaces long edi-
torial article with the remark that a
conflict is improbable, but it then pro-
cecds to outline the circumstance which
appear to favor rupture. In the
event of q clash this paper believes
that Japan would try to seize Hawaii
as the territorial key to the situation.
