have erected buildings for sanatorium
for the special treatment, of tuberculosis
patients, hcme for superannuated mem
bers, and technical school for instruc-
ton In the higher branches OF the press
mans art. The success of this great
Undertaking is largely due to the efforts
Of George L. Berry, the president Of the
/ p. P. and A. o., who introduced the
initial resolution while a delegate to the
Omaha convention, and whose force and
energy sincs assuming the presidency OF
the organization have overcome obsta-
cles which must have deferred and dis
hesrtened many man Fully convinced
of the righteousness of his cause, Mr..
Berry has devoted all his energies to the
great undertaking, and his enthusiasm
has carried conviction to the minds of
his most skeptical critics, and many of
those who were his most pronounced OPP
ponents at the inception of his plans are
to-day ready to concede that in him the
organisation has leader the peer of the
greatest of trades union presidents.
All the material for the buildings was
obtained from their own land, stone and
timber Of the best quality being abund-
ant, and all the work has been done
by union labor, under the direction of
President Berry and his board Of direc-
tors, who have been on the ground al
most continuously for the past year.
The technical school is fitted out with
every appliance for the execution of the
highest class Of printing, over $4,000
worth of the latest and best machinery

Toxic, May 1.-THE editor Of the lead
ing weekly magazine Of Japan and Of the
far East said, in answer to my query as
to possible war between the two coun-
tries:
There is no danger of war for the
present, for Japan has no money. She
Is practically bankrupt and could not
fight a yellow dog; but she is very
Jealous Of Americas increasing power
in China, and is afraid Of Secretary
Knox and his strong policy as to the
railroads in China. The Japanese papers
are continually referring sarcastically to
the American premier as being no diplo-
mat. No, Japan knows better than to
go to war with the United States, but
she is ambitious to control the COM
merce of this part Of the world, and
especially of China"
1 asked a prominent railroad official
II there was danger Of a war between
the two countries and he said:
NO. I don't think so. We look upon
Americans as our best friends; but IL
America should ever strike first she will
find Japan ready and amply prepared to
cope with the American navy"
After studying japanese from every
point of view, 1 am prone to confess
that I Rnow few of them that would
unreservedly trust. They are not fair in
their courts even. I have never known
a foreigner to obtain judgment in a Jap
anese court, II his opponent was a Jap.
The japanese cry out against the Cali
fornians as to the school question, but
they are trying by every means possible
to drive out of business American
schools. They put every obstacle imag-
Unable in our way, and resort to petty
annoyances that would not be tolerated

America, don't think there is any dan
ger at present, but it is their ambition
to control the commerce Of the Orient
