casion he narrowly escaped being de-
ported by the Japanese authorities, and
| was only saved from deportation by
the British consul generals Interior,
ence in his behalf.
Russia and Japan.
That Russia and Japan are bound
to come together in another armed
conflict is the opinion of Mr.. Fenwick,
as it is of all students of Eastern af-.
fairs who have personal knowledge of
the conditions and country.
War Depends on Railway.
When this war will come is indefl-.
mite as to time, but it will be when
Japan has the railroad from Hairung,
on the Tuman River, completed to XII
rim thus forming circle of railroad
around Korea and into the backyard
of Russia in Manchuria.
THE Japanese have ferry running
from Shimoneseki to Fusan, in south
ern Korea, every evening" said Mr..
Fenwick.
From Fusan they have a railroad
through Seoul to the Yalu River, and
then they have a charter ON the South
Manchurian Railway from Antung, on
the gulf, to beyond Mukden.
There is proposed a road from Seoul
to Wonsan, on the east coast, and
this would directly connect chemulpo,
on the west coast, with a port on the
east.
'From Wonsan north, following the
shore nearly, there is a, road proposed
to the mouth of the Tuman River and
to Hairung, on this river From Hal
rung to Kirin, where the japanese hope
to have an extension of the South Man
churian Railway. is not very far, and
with that link built they will have d.
rect communication from Shimoneseki
to the Russian border in Manchuria.
They can land troops from their port
of Shimoneseki at seven different ports
on the Korean east and west coasts
where they can be picked up by the
railroad and transferred to the frontier
in almost no time.
"That is the condition which Russia
will not stand for, nor would any ma
ton in like circumstances.
War Will Come.
when the Japanese begin the con-
struction of the railway to connect
Hairung, on the Tuman river, with XII,
rim, thus forming the link which VIII
make continuous rail communication
all around Korea, then will Russia go
to war with Japan.
Neither Japan nor Russia wants
war Just as long as they can possibly
avoid it, but both realize that 1t Is
coming and quiet preparations are go
ing on for the struggle.
Russian Encampment.
"North of Vladivostok and south or
the Amoor river there is an immense
encampment of Russian soldiers, ana
this garrison is being added to fire.
ouently, | understand. That garrison
is within striking distance of the from
tier and will be on hand to try conclu'
sions with Japan at the war game
Stick to Program.
Japan never gives up" concluded
Mr.. FenWick. when those people
make up their minds to a line of ac-
ton there is no turning back. The
only way is to go forward and accom-
plish the result or commit hari-kari
thus dying with honor if they can not
fulfill their purpose"
Koreans Not Emigrants.
Mr.. Fenwck said that he was sorry
he did not have a chance to visit a
nearby plantation and see the Koreans
here. He opposed their coming to Ha-
wall in the first place, fol he realized
that they would not bear transplant
ing to another country and different
conditions At home they were a
peace-loving people, but he was not
surprised that they We're quarrelsome
when they lived in Hawaii.
