 Discussed by London Press.

London, May 23-The powerful Eng fish organs just appear to be awaken ing to the possibilities of the alliance between Great Britain and Japan and to the sentiment which the British colonies would hold in the event of a war between Japan and the United States.
 The prospect of war in which Great Britain would be fighting for principle that is an anathema to her own dominions," says the London Spectator, lis causing much anxiety throughout the British empire
 Although it believes the possibility of war breaking out or of Great Britain being party to 1t through her alliance with Japan to be vague, the Spectator declares:,
 We doubt whether the empire could survive such an outrage to the feel ings of a large and important part of it's white population"

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT
 MAY BREAK AWAY
May Desert Tariff Bill Because of Free
 Wool Provision.

Washington. May 22-Wool and sugar. the stumbling blocks of the tariff, held the attention of senate finance sub and senators in general today, the legislative air being filled with rurnors of contem- plated changes and advances and coun- ter-rurnors of further Tightening of the administration forces for free wool and free sugar in three years.
 Great interest was attached to a public statement made by Senator Walsh of Montana condennning the proposition to put wool and sugar on the free list, which gave rise to 8 report that he might join with Sen ators Ransdell and Thornton of Louis Jana and vote against the bin. Tn that case, the senate democratic ma jority being only six, the vote on the tariff bill would be a tie, necessftatfng 2 the vote of Vice President Marshall to pass 1t. Should this develop there are some democrats who believe that Senator Poindexter of Washington, the avowed progressive in the senata. will vote with them on the bill. This would give leeway for another democrat to desert in the final vote.

RECALL OF JUDGES
 IS "LEGALIZED TERRORISM" Declaration of Professor Taft in Lee
 ture at Yale.


 New Haven, Conn, May 23.-The re call of judicial decisions and of judges was denounced as hair trigger to the bottom and an instrumentality giving unprecedented power to political boss es and the undertaking press by for mer President William H. Taft, Kent professor at law at Yale in his dis cission at the university this after noon Of Some Questions of Modern Government. The recall of judges he characterized as a sword of Dam ocles" and ''legaIized terrorism" In connection with this discussion the former president advocated compuI- sory resignation of supreme cert judges at the age of seventy and an increase in their salaries ranging from four to five thousand dollars a year.
 I've been off on Unitarian spree" sad Professor Taft, with a smile. dur ing the course of his lecture. when he had some difficulty in making out hls notes and it's little hard to settle down."
 The reference was to his visit to Boston, where he took part in the gathering of Unitarians there
 Of the recall of judicial decisions he said: Could there be system more tngenieusly devised than this |? The recall is hair trigger to the bot tom, enabling the people to strike while the iron is hot. Think of the oppOr- tunity for the bosses and the muck raking press. This system is sup posed to work for the good of none but the weak, the needy. the poor and the oppressed, and to strike down the would-be monopoIists and enemies of the people.
 But it is just these latter that have the opportunity to use money to en1 ploy the firebrands in community. the stirrers up of trouble. With this sword of DamocIes hanging over them and under this legalized terrorism in dependent action of the judiciary would be impossible and the result would be to destroy it's steadiness and usefulness
