AMERICAN OCCUPANCY
IS DEEMED A MENACE

BERLIN, Mar. 15.-Count Ernest
Won Reventlow the most noted stra-
tegist and military genius in Ger
many declared today that the Ameri-
can occupancy Of the Philippines Is
an ,ptolerable menace to Japan. Su-
oremacv in the waters of the far
east ia necessary to the life OF Japan
and realizing this, her statesmen
are planning to strike soon. The
coupt furnishes the United Press to-
dav with advance proofs OF his
carefully prepared essay on the Jap
anese- American relations.
1T is not denied even by the skep-
ticaI that Japan is preparing for an
aggressive war with the United
States. The main object of the Rus
sian war was not the annexation OF
territory, but to prevent the perman-
ent occupation Of Korea by Russia.
America Is Japan's rival. The Jap
anese plan the seizure of the Philip
mines. Hawaii, the United Statec pos
sessions in Samoa and the island OF
Guam Thus Japan would create a
permanent and unalterable position
for herself.
There can be no doubt but that
Japan is now in a position to seize
these islands, as they are practically
unfortified against a great power
Ike Japan.
"The sudden seizure of these is
lands is neither impossible nor i'm
probable. 1t must be remembered
that the time is rapidly approaching
when Japan will be compelled to
fight for commercial and political
life.
That American officials realize
this is shown by their feverish haste
to fortify the Panama canal. A sig
nificant sidelight on Japan's attitude
towards the use of the Philippines
as naval base is shown by her con-
struction of huge dry docks"
The article criticises Americas
failure to properly fortify its Pacific
possessions and refers to the fact
that Admiral Dewey said that Japan
would soon be too powerful for
America,
rho count asserts that Japan was
hard at work preparing for war
when the American fleet was sent to
the Pacific and that this produced
temporary tranquility" but that
Japan is now ready to strike.
In conclusion the count says:
The seizure of the American is
lands would be a defensive act or
the part of Japan. 1t is a question
of l'fe with Japan and there is nc
doubt whatever but that her rulers
are alive to this fact"

A pRuMMER,s DREAM.

One night a hummer dreamed dream,
And dreaming, dreamed he died;
Straightway to the pearly gates
His sim stained spirit hied.
And there before the saint he stood
With downcast head and low;
my records purity rank" he said
II guess I'm doomed below"
'Tve smoked lot and drank lot.
Confess it all / must;
And flirted, too, and then, besides,
Good heavens! How i've cussed."
The good Saint Peter looked at him
with kindly smiling eyes;
zut shook his head. Don't ask me,
said
"A mansion In the skies"
"But let me ask some questions, sir,
Are you a travelling rnan?"
The drummer bowed and in this strain
The aged saint began:
t'You have gotten UP at a. m,
And chased the train q mile;
Amid the train crews jlbes and jeers
Astounding all the while.
"And then you found, as usual,
The timecard played its tricks;
You've chased the wrong train once
again,
And yous goes. out at six.
you've taken some gay merchant out
And went a ten or more;
And then he calmly said: Il bought
My goods the day before
you've spent your life in bad hotels,
And eaten still worse meals;
With oleo and waiter girls
All run down at the heels.
You've been in constant stew,
Your trunks have wandered too;
With porters, clerks and baggage men
You've been in q constant stew.
"Now. tell me. liz this so?''
''It u.s. replied the drummer
AS he took his hat to so.
''oh," said good Saint Peter,
AS he opened the portals wide:
'Tm very glad to see you, sir,
Just kindly step inside.
wen try and make you happy here:
Wen do the best we can;
You've served your time In hell" he said
''For you've been a travelling man."

DEMOCRATS ARE
MAKING GOOD

1t is not of a record that any
congress of recent years went
about its legislative work with
more of precision, force and effect
ivencss than the demoCratiC-Con-
trolled house, which convened in
extraordinary session on April 4.
A sustained stream of public APP
proval has run from its first act up
until the present time, and II the
house shall continue as it has be-
gun the inevitable effect of its
work will be as a sweeping victory
in the next presidential election.
The secret of this success is that
the democratic ma jority at Wash
ington knows what the people
want, and has set about its united
duty of giving it to them.
Within three weeks of the open
ing of the extraordinary session
the democratic house had put its
word of approval on
Champ Clark as speaker, and its
quickly, quietly and unanimously
organized committees and working
organization of house management.
A constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of

THE FACTS AS
GIVEN TO US

Since the arrest of a certain
women in the restricted district
for selling beer to GER
tain deputy sheriff on Sunday,
and who was fined SIS and costs,
there has been considerable talk
about alleged sales of beer in bot
ties by the brewery down on Fifth
street, the same evening, and in
order to get at the facts we have
interviewed those in authority.
First we hunted up Chief of
Police Davis who said:
Yes | saw man and boy leav-
ing Groger's brewery about 10
O'Clock Sunday night with bottles
of beer. do not know the names
of The parties, but do know the
faces
We then called on Prosecuting
Attorney Brown, who in sum and
substance said:
GROCER came up to my office
and explained the whole matter.
He said he sold the beer on Satur-
day, that he was a law abiding
man and would not knowingly
violate the law. | do not think
the beer was sold Sunday night,
think GROCER told the truth about
matter, but of course l must adj
NIT that he is technically guilty
anyway.
Public opinion seems to prevail
that violation of the law is becom-
ing too general and the leinency
of the law should be made string
ent regardless of whom it hits or
hurts.
If a women violates the law,
punish her; and if a man violates
the law punish him.
Give all a square deal-rich or
poor, high or low.
The strict enforcement of law
has no terrOrs for the innocent.
Niolators should be made to pay
the penalty.
1t is not our aim to misrepresent
or pervert the facts. The public
is entitled to truth about the mat
Ter and that is what we endeavored
to obtain aud publish without mall
ice or i'll will.

HUNDREDS VISIT
THE TEST WELL

The excursion of the test well
Sunday afternoon was certainly a
grand success and it is very gcner-

pie visited the scene during the
afternoon. The n. p. sent up
nine cars, all loaded to the guards,
while hundreds went up i'll vehi-
cles, of various kinds and all were
delighted with the trip, the water
and the prospects of Ellensburg
getting a genuine water system of
both quality and quantity.
