chase of old high school books until

JAPAN'S AM BITION.

Japan is making new treaties and
strengthening her position as a world
power in every way possible, and she
is suspected of seeking an alliance
with some European power to perfect
her defence against Russia. The let
ter of an English diplomat now made
public, quotes the authority of a Ger
man friend, for many years in the
diplomatic service, as follows:
But the circumstances of 1905 are
not likely to be duplicated in 1915.
That Japan will try to make an ALI
ance with a European nation L am
quite confident, because she feels that
otherwise there is always the posi-
bility of a white combination against
the yellow; and she has been dis
creetly sounding the European nations
for some little time now with view
to concluding another alliance"
After pointing out Great Britain's
agreement with Russia and her tacit
understanding with the United States
both rivals of Japan in the far east
the authority before quoRed goes
on:
Now, always looking at it from
the point of view of a Japanese states
man, you see the other side of the
sheet. What advantages would a
German alliance give to Japan over
British alliance? 1t seems to me
that they are overwhelming. In the
first place, as long as Japan is in
alliance with Germany and Austria,
she has the predominating military
factor on her size. Besides which
she has as an ally nation that could
bsoluteiy paralyze all Russian mill
tary operations by threatening the
Russian frontier. She would have all
so as an ally one who had no terri
torial ambitions in the far east. and
no pledges to fortune in the way of
outlying colonies or states
This seems to be sound reasoning,
and as we watch the Japanese move
ments it is well to bear the prediction
in mind.
Norwich bulletin., 1910-10-13
HARRY, THE ARCHER.

1t is now revealed that Harry, the
Archer who went to Maine to shoot
deer with bow and arrow, was T. &.
Pillsbury of Providence, r. L., and he
has succeeded in showing that a white
man can successfully play the Indian
game. A telegram from Patten, Me,
says he reached there several days
ago and announced that a bow and
arrow was ample to kill game He
had several bows, shorter and more
powerful than the ordinary archery
models, and plenty OF special arrows
with long steel tips.
In the Mt. Chase and Shin Pond
regions he has killed no end of part
ridges, porcupines and squirrels with
his arrows. Monday he brought in a
150-pound doe, shot with an arrow
through the heart, which, as far as
known. is the first killed in the Maine
woods by that method since the days
of Indian hunters.
Mr.. Pillsbury said he was sitting by
a runway when the doe stopped not
fifty yards distant, giving him an ex-
cellent shot. Mr.. Pillsbury says that
he expects to get a buck before he
goes home, but that he doubts if he
would take a chance with a moose or
bear.
1t is a feather in Mr.. Pillsbury' S
cap to be able TO ta' up this print
tive method of shooting game and
make success of it. 1t may lead to
a revival Of hunting in this way as an
expression of ability and skill.
