Gently made, asserting that japan and

TO war, are making a deep impression on
the Pacific Coast" said Sidweli 6. Whar-
ton, OF San Francisco, a banker of that
city, who was seen at the Arlington yes
terday
If Mr.. Schiff or Mr. Shaw were less
known to the public; If they were re-
garded as men whose assertions might be
taken with some allowances, or if they
were known to stir up trouble for selfish
reasons. their warning might be regarded
with less seriousness. But both Mr. Schiff
and Mr.. Shaw are men well known in
this country and abroad They are men
of character and have the confidence Of
the people. Both have occupied impov-
tant offices of trust. and neither of them
is personally interested in any scheme
which might profit By the precipitation
of war between this country and Japan.
Taking these factors to be the case -
he continued. what causes these two
men to speak as they do? They must
have some good reason They would
not alarm the people Of the United
States just to get their names in the
papers. There must be something wrong
somewhere. 1t is a well-known fact that
Japan is intriguing to get the mastery
Of the Pacific and to gain a controlling
influence in the Chinese empire. Japan
Will never evaeuate Manehuria. and she
is in Korea to stay. She is building
merchant ships as fast as her ever-busy
yards can turn them out. and she is es-
tablishing lines with South America and
this country as quickly as the ships are
launched. which will carry American
freights at a cheaper rate than the mer-
chantmen of any other nation could at
ford to carry them.
Between now and the opening OF the
Panama Canal there are still four to six
years provided the enterprise is carried
out on schedule time. If Japan continues
her shipbuilding programme till then she
will have a powerful feet in Pacific
waters which it viii be most difficult 10

immediate danger. but I am decidedly IN

dent of School Board-Said To
Favor DR.. Kuhn.

The election OF a president OF the
school board this year apparently
hinges on the vote of one man. Eber
w. Cottrell. the newest member of the
body Mr.. Cottrell himself was men
toned for the place at one time, but
because OF his unfamiliarity with
board of education matters the boom
fiattened out. Now the administration
members are talking second term
for DR.. Charles +. Kuhn. not because
they like him, but because they are
afraid he will help the ants elect one
OF their many available candidates II
they turn him down.
Mr.. Cottrell Is reported TO have said
that he would vote for Kuhn and his
vote would give the doctor a majority
OF one, provided the present lineup re-
mains intact. One or two OF the ad-
ministrationists have declared. how
ever. that they would not vote for
Kuhn again under any circumstances.
and il remains To be seen whether
they will fall into line when the
screws are put on.
On the other side, Inspectors Mum
ford, Robertson and Burton are men,
toned and II Is certain that one OF
the three will be put up in opposition
TO the machine candidate. Mr.. Bur
ton said this morning that he would
be candidate IL asked. provided there
was any reasonable chance for his
election. Mr. Mumford and Mr.. Robert
son are both willing TO make the run,
and no matter which one Is chosen
the other will support him. The anti's
will get together soon for a confer
ence on the situation and will then
decide on their candidate.
