Japs viii Patrol Pacific

San Francisco, Sept. 3.-More Jap
anese warships may come to the Pa
cific coast. the Japanese consulate
said here today. to keep open the
lanes of travel between this port and
Japan.
A published report that Japan in
tended to send three battleships, three
armOred cruisers, one scout cruiser
and seven torpedo boats, was char
acterized as absolutely inconceiva-
ble.' That provisions were being
bought here to victual w%arships, the
consulate would neither affirm nor de-
ny. 1t was absolutely without advices
or instructions, it is said from Toxic.
The possibilities that more war
ships might be sent was merely a sup
position based on the acknowledged
fact that the lanes of Japanese COM
merce between the Pacific coast and
the Orient are now poorly protected.

It Was None Of His 1usjness

During a political campaign a can
didate for the legislature was driving
through the country seeking votes
among the farmers when he met a
young mar in farmers garb walking
by the roadside.
Having in his mind a prospective
vote he stopped his horse, and sa-
luted the farmer in a familiar manner
inquired:
Are you paying any attention to
politics nowadays?"
The young man stopped, looked at
him suspiciously and drawled out:

no land or marine maneuvers can be
accomplished successfully as long as
aeroplanes and airships are able to
hover out Of reach of an enemy's guns

done. Also the destructive power Of
these machines Is to be taken into con-
s%ideration.
One Of the most remarkable prophe-
cies in literature is that Of Alfred Lord
Tennyson in his "Locksley Hail." The
famous English poet realized in pre-
vision the possibility of the conquest of
the air. Tennyson foresaw aerial war
fare when he wrote:

The nightmare of England on the
outbreak of war was the attack from
the air by Germany's feet of colossal
var air craft.
For several years the realization of
this possibility has spurred the English
to increased effort in the upbuilding of
their air craft arm of defense.
In the war archives of Germany are
complete plans for aerial attacks on
both Paris and London. Details for
such attacks have been figured out
with Metz as the base. For an attack
on London they calculated upon leaving
