AMERICAS PROTEST..

The United States government has
Britain against the detention Of
American vessels in connection with
the British effort to prevent the ship
ment OF contraband. 1t is stated that
the protest has been made in very
clear terms, and that. in the opinion
of the American government, dam
ages in considerable sums will he re-
uurcd from, the British authorities
for their interference with our conf
fncrce.
There is nothing in the filing of the
protest. or in any of the circum.
stances attendant Oh it to give cause
for the slightest fear that the incl
dent will lead to strained relations be-
tween the countries. and any talk Of
the possibility of war growing out Of
it is the vcriest nonsense.
The acts complained of are such as
are likely TO occur during the progress
of any war, and are not evidences of
unlriendlincss on the part of the Of
Tending nation. In their effort to pro-
tect themselves and harrass the enc
my. some British commanders have
displayed undue zeal, and have sub
jccted neutral vessels to unnecessary
annoyance and to the damage Of de-
lay. That being so, our government
has filed its protest, and it has done
so in the most friendly spirit, and in
full expectation that any acts con-
cernins which 1T has good cause for
complaint will hc discontinued. There
is not the slightest reason to doubt
that this will be done, and there is
every reason to feel confident that the
relations of this country toward all Of
its European neighbors will continue
to be perfectly amicable.

JAPAN SETS AN EXAMPLE.

Chicago Herald: The Japanese
parliament has been dissolved and
new elections ordered because its
mcmhcrs refused by IL majority vote
of Ga to sanction the ministrys plans
for u large increase in the army.
They approved Il naval increase by :,
majority Of only seven.
IT is probable that opposition to
spending more millions ON armame ent,
in the Face ot an estimated revenue
decrease of $40 n0C, C,000 was not the
only motive of tho rccalcitrant maj jor-
iiy. The motives of human action are
always mixed. and Japanese politics
arc as complex :s are those of west =
rrn nations Yet ;,n increase Of arm
amcnti was he issue ON which the
decision was reached.
The conflict is interesting in more
aspects than one. Generally, it shows
u growth in Japan Of independent po-
litical thought. and that Japanese pa
lriotism is no longer synonymous AS
it once was with the known wishes of
the divine emperor nor regards his
wisdom us competent to give the cor
rect answer to every question.
Particularly. il shows a capacity y
for clear thinking from ascertained
facts that puts to shame a number Of
Americans conspicuous in public life.
The visible truth is that Japan has
no neighbors capable Of becoming ag-
grcssivc within Il period which even
the most far-sightcd craftsmanship
needs to take into account. Nor need
| Japan fear either Of tho parties to the
European war. despite the threats that
| the uvcr-hcated publicists of one have
made. And certainly Japan has no
need to fear the United States.
Whatsoever the results of the COM
| ing elections to their personal for.
tunes, the majority of the members OF
parliament have proved their capac.
ity for clear thought. Under the CIR
| cunlstnrces, any notab increase OF
armament would be accepted by all
/ the world as proof of aggressive Gle.
signs on .Iapan'e part.

THE pcRK.BARREI ROLLERS.

Golfers Weekly: How many OF

possible. And. by adhering to the
pork" principle, it has hindercd

port of our statement. and particular
ly for the cditication OF all well-mcan-
ing and patriotic persons who may
happen to he contributing to the sup

the resolutions adopted at the lobby's
annual convention:
We regard the policy Of aI-
nunl river and harhor bills as
most essential to the economical
prosecution and preservation uf

rHt. INVASION or CANADA.

The statement OF the German AMI

From other expressions, however.
il appears that no matter what the

Fortunately. tho whole question is

protection against attack from the

NO EXCITEMENT NECESSARY.

II appears that all the excitement
over the alleged threat of IL United
States cruiser to bombard Trippli was
unnecessary. for tho threat was nlndn.
not by an American but Il Russian
commander. IT the situation had
been as described in the early reports,
il would not by any means have meant
war with Turkey. The commander
oC a ship certainly has right To pro.
tect its crew and passengers from at
tack by q rIbblc. no matter where
that rabhlc may be, and, unless TIC
country in which the incident takes
place chooses to make the cause OF
the rabble it's own no harm is done.
Had 1t been our cruiser which had the
little controversy at Tripoli notes and
explanations would perhaps have been
exchanged, but it is not likely that
the matter would have gone any fur
ther, unless Turkey had for some ul-
terror reason been bent on dragging
the United States into the war. This
would have been extremely unpop-
n1ar.
However, there is every reason for
satisfaction that it was not our ship
which, was involved in the dispute.
That saves all explanations so far as
we are concerned, and Russia and
anyway.
