PREDICTION OF WAR
WITH JAPAN REPEATED
BY Associated Press.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 16.-That
war between America and Japan cam
not be avoided is the theme Of a spe-
cial article in the Oska Mainichi, re"
ceived today by the empress of China.
The Japanese writer says:
"It is now being anticipated in
diplomatic circles in general that in
the future, when the relations between
Japan and America become more
strained-which will certainly result
from a continued collision of inter
ests-the ministry will have to accom-.
plish the painful duty of infors1ing the
other country's government that the
result of such collision Will be an out
break of war. 1t will be pitiful, in
deed, if, even, on that occasion, Japan
adheres to diplomatic compliments and
states that no collision will take place.
Why do the japanese not boldly and
openly say that there will be COLI
sion. If they think that the Americans
will believe the Japanese assertions
that a collision will never take place,
they will deceive misunderstanding
not the Americans
