IF MAR SHOULD COME.

The theatre Of~a war between America and Japan would be the Pacific ocean, divisible into six spheres of combat. The Philip pines, Hawaii, Alaska, Washing ton, Oregon and California.
 The disinclination of this re- public to render adequate mili- tary and naval protection to it's possessions in the Pacific gives to Japan not only temporary com mand of the entire ocean, but time enough for the temporary character of it's control to pass into permanency. Unless the Un- tied States establishes sufficient naval bases in it's four quarters of the Pacific, making them mlll- tary secure against land attack, and maintains in the Pacific fleets as much superior to the entire navy of Japan as adverse strategic conditions demand, the United States will lose in the be- ginning what she will never be able to retain during the con- tinuation of the war--the entire American littoral on the Pacific.
 Under the present military sys- tenn the republic could not mob- ilize in any one place a field army of nineteen thousand regular soldiers in the same period of time that Japan could assemble, ready to take the field, half a million veteran troops. For the United States to enlist, equip and to train to the same degree of efficiency similar force would require not less than three years.
 If Japan were without sea transports equal to her armies, the Pacific coast and the Amer ican provinces in the Pacific would be beyond the sphere of Japanese enterprise. On the nth- CT hand if the United States pos seSsed standing army of two million men. but no other means of military transportation than exist at the present time, thls republic could not conduct a sin gle campaign beyond the from tiers of the Union.
 Unfortunately. the United States does not possess a field army of even fifty thousand men, while Japan has such complete means of oceanic transportation that she can move her vast armies to any portion of the Pacific with greater ease than Napoleon mov- ed similar armies from Paris across the river EIbe nr beyond the Danube, or Grant across the theatre of war during the Alneri- can civil war.
 This republic is without means of military transportation. In the Spanish-American war two months elapsed before transports could be gotten together Suffl- cient to embark a single army corps, though Havana lies only three days distant from the main center of American commerce. In the Russian war Japanese armies had landed and were marching on the Asian continent eight days after the declaration of war.
 The Japanese government pos ~esses sufficient transportation facilities to carry in a single voy- age, if necessary, more than 2O,- 900 trOOpS.--EX.

Joliet, Ill, Oct 9.--One negro was
killed. the village Jail was wrecked,
and a serious race riot narrowly
ayerted at Romeo, eight miles north
OF Joliet Wednesday. The arrival Of
a big corps of special deputy sheriffs
from Joliet, sent in answer to the ap-
peal OF Mayor Edward Swanson of
Romeo, was all that saved a part OF
the whole population from massacre.
John Winfield, a giant negro, bat
tered in the lookup door with a rail
road tie, seized Lulu Hills, a negress,
and holding her before him as
shield made a savage attack upon
Louis Hanson, resident of the vii
lage, whom the town marshal had
called 10 his aid. Hanson killed Win
field in defense Of his own life.
Immediately he town and country
side were in an uproar. Sheriff Thorn
as Stevenson. who was notified by
telephone at Joliet. eight miles away,
rushed an automobile laden with
armed deputies into the town and
every negro In the section was taken
safely away within half an hour
Armed deputies met every steam or
electric train at the. outskirts of the
village. which is IS miles from Chica-
go, and warned negroes not to dlight.
Citizens, angered into savage desire
to show their resentment of iadigni-
ties they say they have been forced
to submit to from negro roisterers for
months. found no one for a victim
and the riot spirit died away.
The slain negro lived in Joliet
where he was employed last at the
saloon of f. e. DAILY at Marion and
Railroad streets. He was six feet
three inches tall, weighed 225 pounds
and was powerful in proportion.
Hanson. who killed Winfield, is a
carpenter. He fought for ten minutes
with all the desperation of a man
knowing his own life lay in the out
come of the struggle, and the negro
had the advantage. The revolver for
which they fought was held in Han
sons hand and was discharged during
the fight. the bullet striking Winfield
in the breast.
During the struggle Marshal Farrell
was in his own home searching for
ammunition for his shotgun. for which
he had run when he and Hanson
were assailed at the jail door by the
drink-infurlated giant armed with a
railroad tie. which he brandished in
his long arms as though it were a
cudgel
Hanson had drawn the revolver
fbom HE pocket in an attempt TO COW
the negro into giving up his effort
to batter down the Jail door and res
cue the negro woman. with whom he
had been drinking earlier in the day.
