HER PROTEST.

Upon her hand so small and white
He very gently laid his own;
She drew it back as if in fright,
And whispered in a trembling tone
you mustn't"
He sat little nearer still,
Whegeat she moved her chair away;
He gazed down in her eyes until
He heard her rather feebly say:
"You mustn't"
He bent above her where she sat
And softly stroked her silken hair;
She seemed so agitated that
She could but family still declare:
"You mustn't"
Around her waist. he slipped an arm
And drew her closely to his side;
She seemed possessed of wild alarm,
And in imploring accents cried
"You mustn't"
Deciding to possess the bliss
That Fate had put within his reach
He claimed sweet and fervent kiss,
But did she then in horror screech:
"You mustnt?"
She didn't.

Head of Patriotic Society Explains
How Nipponese Plot Territorial Con-
quest Through Partition of Celestial
Kingdom and Taking of Philippines
and Hawaii-Asia For Asiatics.
Only an alliance between the United
States and China can keep the peace In
the far east is the opinion of Mr.. Seek
Hun Kimm, president of the Korean
Patriotic association Of New York.
Conditions In the orient are far from
settled" said Mr.. Kimm in an inter-
view recently. "'The territorial ambi-
tions of Japan are as yet far from sat-
isfied, and Russia is still desirous of
an eastern seaport. The powers Of Eu-
rope are still looking forward TO the
partition of China and that newborn
republic looks to the good offices of
America as her only salvation Such
an alliance is a natural one because the
United States has no territorial ambi-
tions to crafty, and the people of
China today regard this country as a
sister among the nations.
when Prince Ito was the Japanese
premier his policy was to destroy
Korea. bring about the partition Of
China and, as a consummation of this
plan OF empire, seize the Philippines
and Hawaii. After Ito's assassination
by On Chung Gaen, the Korean pa
triot. at Hardin In 1909, Prince Kat
suro. who has since been displaced,
succeeded Ito as premier This was
before the abdication of the Manchu
dynasty and the establishment of the
republic Of China. Following the pol

China and Russia at Odds.
"Since that time the relations be-
tween China and Russia have become
strained, and war is imminent between
the two nations. Japan is aware Of
this fact and Is secretly seeking to TO
ment the trouble with view to serv-
ing her own Interior purposes Should
China be successful japan will seize
Vladivostok and eastern Siberia, but
should the Chinese meet defeat Japan
will Immediately occupy south Man
churia and inter Mongolia.
Strange as 1t may appear to the oc-
cidental mind, China has by far the
best chance in such war. In the
first place, the Chinese are imbued
with new spirit They will defend
the land Of their fathers from foreign
invasion to the bitter end Second.
China can raise an immense war
fund. There are on the coast Of the
Indian ocean more than 100000 Chi
nese merchants, and these merchants
have pledged to the republic an assess
ment of s1,000.OOO. 900, or $1,000 each.
in the event of war with Russia.
Most important Of all is the fact that
the Chinese army of today is equipped
with the most modern arms and has
been drilled by American and Euro
pean military tacticlans. China is pre-
