the possibilities OF a war with
Japan.
Chances of such war are very
remote, very improbable, said the
General. Japan has almost as big
load as she can carry in her ma
tional debt. In such an improbable
contingency, however, as war be-
tween this country and Japan
there would be no invasion Of the
United States nor any of these other
highly fanciful conflicts which have
been Ia ked Of
There is no comparison between
the United States army and navy
and that of Japan. The japanese
have been very much over-estimated
on account of their victory over
Russia and in no sense are they a
dangerous rival to the United
States"
