H0BSON SEES WAR WITH jAPS
Only Way to Avert It Is to Send
Fleet Back to Pacific.

Boston, Mass.-"War with Japan is
inevitable unless the United States i'm

"The nation must at nce get control
of the Pacific ocean and maintain it,
That is the only way to prevent war.
Japan has just emerged from feudal

She is flushed with her victory over
mighty Russia. There is no nation in

A Public Park That Pays.

II Is a bit astonishing to learn from
an Official source that the most "a
nous, extensive and beautiful munich
pal park In the world yields a larger
revenue in money to the city In which
It is located than the cost OF maiit-
tanning it. 1t cost the city of Paris
St42, 900 to care for the Bois de Bou-
logne last year, and the revenue from
the rental Of the numerous pavilions
IN the park, where all Paris takes tea
and dimes In summer, was $154,0O0.

open to question, but SO long as they
add to the attractions of the park they

New iork.-The wireless telegraph on
Sunday spoke but the prologue of the
great drama being enacted out upon the
sea behind the curtain of fog where the
steamship Florida, with LOO souls
aboard, had rammed the White Star liner
Republic with upwards of 500 souls
aboard.
The efforts to save the Republic, even
after her passengers had been safely
taken Off, was one of the most desperate
and thrilling fights in the history of the
sea, in which great personal courage and
skill, aided by the latest achievements
of the sciepre of s%hipbuilding, were
matched against the ~ever-mcnacing ele-
| ment with which the lot of the liner was
cast.
After the ship had been rammed early
Saturday morning, quick measures were
taken to preserve the lives of those
aboard.
The crew went to their posts at the
lifeboats and stood by while the officers
looked after the passengers, awakened
from their sleep by the shock of the
collision and frightened into a panic.
There was a period of ~frightful suspense
while the liner gradually settled, and
no living soul could ~foretell at that time
the fate of passengers and ship.
When, after this period of suspense,
the officers of the Republic were thrilled
with Joy to see looming out of the fog
the form of a big steamship. The fate
of the vessel which had rammed the Re-
public was still Il mystery, but when the
Florida crawled up closer to the Republic
and cleared tie fog so that her battered
and twisted bow could be made out, it
was known that she had rammed the Re
public and had come back to her rescue.
