JAPAN PREPARING FOR WAR.
German Expert Gives Reasons fol
MikndO's preparatiOns.

Count Won Reventlow, the famous
German writer, is about to publish a
critical opinion concerning the reia-
tions of the United States and Japan,
which, in view Of the counts reputa-
ton here as. an expert is worthy Of
attention.
He asserts that Japan unquestion-
ably is preparing for an aggressive
war against the United States with
as much care as she prepared for the
struggle with Russia. The count as
serts that statesmen are convinced
that Japan canot continue to exist as
a great power unless she possesses
absolute naval. supremacy IN the Pa.
cific, which also is indispensable to
her commercial property. 1t is
clear, he says, that by seizing the
Philippines, Hawaii and the American
portion of Samoa, as we'll as Guam
Japan could create a permanent and
unalterable advantage for herself.
