THE WEST COAST JAPANESE.

II is good to see the men OF the
west-coast paying especial courtesies
to the admiral and cadets of the Japa.

harbor. They express the real senti.
ment of the people of the United
States toward Japan and her people
which is altogether OF friendship, kind.
ness and good will.
There is one feature OF the recep.
ton which should be taken quiet no.
lice OF. AT Los Angeles thousands of
resident Japanese rushed to the mort
10 welcome their couniry's ships and
crews. Ten thousand more met them
al San Francisco, and still greater
number viii receive and welcome them
on Puget Sound. or these many thou
sands are trained soldiers. In the
event war, within three days all
there would be at points on the coast
where they could receive arms, war
munitions of all kinds nnd such ad

Any one can see what the conditions
would be on an unfortified coast and
among a people unused to the discl.
pine OF camp. knowing nothing of
the movements of an army. and. with.
all. unarmed.
The bare suggestion of such a situa-

against the Japanese immigration that
has been pouring In since before the
Japanese Russian war. And those
men are Japanese and always Will be
