UNCLE SAM SHOULD
CALL APS BLUFF

The entire agreement is directed
against Russia.
Official England would never
dare to assist Japan in war with
this country. The English people
would never tolerate such a crime
against the common race, and all
of Australasia would secede from
the empire if the home govern
ment gave even sentimental aid to
Japan.
Japan cannot fight without
British gold, and the fact that
there is danger that Japan will be
forced to default on the interest
payments on part of hT war debt,
has not tended to open the doors
of the financial markets of the
world, which have long been closed
against her securities.
If a real crisis does arise, of
which there is but remote posi-
bility at this time, England would,
if for no other reason than self
preservation, put the peace screws
on her yellow ally.
If President Roosevelt had not
taken a hand in the Japanese-Rus.
sian war, the history of that men,
orable struggle would make differ
ent reading matter and our posi-
ton on the Pacific would be much
more secure than it is.
Just before the Portsmouth con-
vention was called, Kodama, the
military genius of Japan, had
telegraphed Toxic from the field:
1.-TWO hundred thousand more
men or peace at any price"
Japan did not have the men and
grasped the opportunity of peace
without indemnity.
Only the internal disorders in
Russia forced that country to aban-
don the struggle. which would
have brought disaster to Japan if
it had been continued six months.
We can fight if it is necessary,
though under tremendous disad-
vantage, but Japan cannot.
The Japanese question is not a
Pacific coast problem.
1t is national problem which
should be definitely settled for all
time.
Every cotton raiser, wheat grow
er and manufacturer whose pro-
ducts are finding a market in the
far east has a right to demand that
slant disturbance of our trade rela-
tons on the Pacific should be set
tied for all time.

the Holy Spirit" At the evening
services the pastor, DR.. ]. Gordon
Mcpherson, preached from the
text, Lay Up for Yourselves
Treasures in Heaven"
The services throughout the day
were largely attended and a large
number of white people were pres
ent, showing as much interest as
the colored people themselves.
From the interest that has been
aroused among the colored church
workers. this promises to be a
great religious awakening among
the colored folks.
Mrs. E. Bryant has charge of the
revival music. The evening SER
vices will be preceded by gospel
song and praise service, in which
will be sung many of the old plan
tation melodies such as have cheer
ed the hearts of millions at camp
meetings in southern states.
The sermons will be held every
day at 2:30 p. m. Bible reading
and song services at 1880 this
evening. DR.. Mcpherson will
preach on the subject THE Way to
Cod Those desiring to attend
these services are invited to come

banker. 1t will be noticed that
the official press of England has
been distinctly "anti-Californian'
in its discussion of the threatened
anti-Jap legislation.
1t is but natural attitude,
though at heart England is sick
of her unholy Asiatic alliance.
But under her treaty agree
ment England is committed to as
sisting Japan in repelling any in
vasion of Manchuria.
In case of a conflict between
Japan and the United States, Rus
STA would Immediately hurl a force
into Manchuria to win back her
lost prestige. This would bring the
Bear and the Lion into conflict.
Englands position in India is
extremely critical and the mutter-
ings of millions of the disaffected
natives is the ominous roar which
is carrying fear of insurrection to
the colonial officials.
The position of India would offer
Russia the opportunity to employ
her immense military establish
ment under the most advantageous
circumstances against the small
English garrison, and with the as
sistance of the pro-Rnssian native
princes wrest England's mighty
storehouse from her.
Impregnable against sea attacks,
Russia would entertain no fear of
England's naval power.
The attitude England would as
sumo toward this country offers
another complication.
Under the AnglO-Japapese
agreement, England is committed to
assisting Japan in repelling any
invasion of Manchuria, and Japan
is committed to assisting England
in repeiling any invasion of India.

DAD WILL GET
HIS MAN

Buck COnnors, the big first base
man for whom Spokane and
Wilkesbarre. Pa, are fighting, will
come to Spokane if Manager
Browns dope holds good. The case
is now protested, but the weight
is all on Browns side, according to
the local management, as we'll as
that of St. Paul and Little Rock.
The trouble with Wilkesbarre was
that it was trying to beat Little
Rock down 500 on the $500 asked
for the man, While Wilkesbarre
was dick6~ing, Brown accepted the
terms and got the man.
The Indians will go to Lewiston.
to train. This has practically been
settled, and the only thing requir-
ed is an assurance that the
grounds at Lewiston will be put in
good condition. The tribe will as
semble in Spokane between March
20 and %, and is expected to reach
Lewiston by the latter date.
"They can say all they please in
the Coast league" said Brown this
morning, but Spokane will have
as big salary list and better
class of players than any team in
the coast aggregation. The Port
land fans are welcoming the
Northwestern league with open
arms, and it looks now as though
they will have the Coast boys on
the run"
The abuse of the pass privilege
has caused radical changes to be
made in the rules. Hereafter no
visiting manager will be allowed
to issue a single pass, and those
who are lucky in the home town
will be scarcer. Brown cites one
instance last season where there
was an attendance of 200 at the
game, and of this number there
were sc passes. In all cases where
the number of passes exceed five
per cent of the total admissions,
the manager of the home team will
have to pay for the excess bag
gage.

RUSSIA WOULD WANT TO
GOB6lE MANCHURIA AGAIN,
AND ENGLAND COULDN'T BE
A VALUABLE JAP ALLY.
BY n. LEE ClOTWORTHY,
Who Was The Press's Representa-
tive With the BattIeship Fleet on

kINC WIN tfC odtttCSutP VtSCk VII
Its Trip to Japan.
There is no more danger of war
with Japan eventuating from the
acts of the California legislature
than there was danger of war be-
ing precipitated by the San Fran
cisco school board.
The arrogant attitude assumed
by Japan at the time the school
squabble threatened Washington
with an epidemic of hysteria, was
speedily abandoned, as soon as the
battle feet reached the Pacific.
Despite all official denials, it
was the general knowledge of the
flag officers of the feet, that the
entire movement of every fighting
ship of the navy to the Pacific
and Mediterranean coincident with
the dispatching of the battle fleet
to Asiatic waters was the result of
the gigantic bluff made by Japan
ct the time of the school dispute.
1t was not until the fleet had
reached Australia that diplomatic
exchanges between the two gov
ernments showed that Japan was
not spelling for a fight, and the
armored cruisers, torpedo boats
and scout cruisers of the Pacific
feet were returned to their sta
tons and the intended movement
of the battleship squadron mobil
lied on the Atlantic was aban-
doned.
Japan agreed to restrict emf
grafton of her coolies to this coun-
try, and with the exchange of
notes between Secretary Root and
Minister Takahira, went on record
before the world concerning her
purposes toward China.
While the defenseless condition
of our Pacilc coast and our Pacific
insular possessions evidence a ma
tional military folly, which is a
constant invitation for an aggres-
sive nation to wipe out our pres
tige on the Pacific, yet fortunately
Japan, through the legacy of debt,
inherited from the Russian war,
and the critical political situation
facing her ally, England, in the far
east, is prohibited from engaging
in any military enterprise, how
ever much her war party might
wish to precipitate conflict at
this time.
Japan is practically bankrupt
England is not only Japan's
ally, but is also Japan's principal
