Japan 10 lay siege to the fortress
from the land side.
The Jap View of II.
From the Japanese standpoint,
Kiau-chau's chief menace TO Japan
il that II lies directly opposite Korea,
the great field OF Japanese colonial
development and also just across the
sea from the southerly japanese
Islands.
Explaining the political effect OF
lGermanys occupation OF kidu-thau
this diplomatic authority on oriental
affairs said the issue presented today
had It's origin in the events OF the Ja-
pan-China war. At that time. he said,
Japan had succeeded in taking Port
Arthur from china after a memorable
CONTEXT. AT this poilt. however, he said
Germany took the lead among a group
OF European powers In demanding
that Japan should not retain the fruits
of her victory by holding Port Arthur
Yielding to this pressure Japan relln-
quished the prize shortly after this
a German fleet occupied kiau-Chau,
claiming 1t as an indemnity for all
legged attacks on German missionaries.
Since then Kiau-Chau has been stead
ny developed and now with its for
tress. its hiuterland and its outlying
sections of Shantung provinces It rep
resents, in the Japanese view a most
formidable foothold Of Germand in
fluence.
Meantime. Russia is no longer at
Port Arthur and England has given
up her naval establishment at Wei
Hei-Wei. So. it is pointed out, Ger
many remains practically alone among
the European powers In north China,
with Kiau-Chau in a commanding po-
sition at the entrance to the China sea.
China has long sought TO have this
territory restored, thus re-establishing
her territorial integrity in north
China.
Japans constant avowed policy has
been to secure the return OF Kiau-
Chau and it is now declared In author
itative japanese quarters that Japan
has no territorial aspirations whatever
as to Kiau-Chau; that her sole pur-
pose in securing its restoration to
China is to preserve the territorial in
tegrlty of China and at the same time
TO remove the menace to peace caused
by the presence of a remote alien
power in powerful stronghold on
the China sea.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance Is said

about the present step by
Japan This alliance, originally made
IN 1909. was offensive and defensive
in character. and was confined to-
events occurring in the Far East. La

OLD PAVING FOUND
TO Be THE)BEsT
BY the Adoption Of This Glorious
Work the Question VIII Be
Settled Satisfactorily

It is known by several that repres-
sentatives of the paving company have
been in Bryan for quite a while and
lhave been working since the first of
this week.
! They claim to represent the Oldest
and largest concern in the world; al
most all the important cities in Amer
lea having had contracts with them.
lWestrumite and Bithulithic paving
material are neither used, but they say
an older material, known for centuries,
lbut used and recognized by only few.
"If Bryan had first used this paw
ing for her streets all would be pleased
with it and no squabbling would ever
have occurred. Experience seems to
be the only teacher for some"
These are the words OF one of the
men representing the company.
"Mr. Barnum, the circus king, said
that the more you fool the American
people the better they like the show.
But that day is fading. Americans
are seeking only the best of every.
thing. The company we represent
uses material that is better than gold
itself. Bryan's expense of running the
,city government would be cut more
than half if the people here learn the
value of this. Police, lawyer, court
Jail and county road expense would
be cut in two This is proven by The
thousands of cities and towns already
trying this company's wares.
I 81 speak of the Love of Jesus
Christ as the paving material needs
most" said A. NJ. Hill, the singer as
sisting Rev. James ~ Thomas in the
revival meeting at the First Christian
Church IF half the money spent for
the paving of Main Street was put
into the work of paving with gold of
Christianity upon the hearts of the
men of Bryan, an impetus to business
would be given which cannot be realiz-
: ed in any other way. The true con-
servation is not the conservation of
material resources, but of character.
When business, political and world
: construction of most of the churches
will advance by leaps and bounds" he
said.
Rev. Mr.. Thomas sermon for tonight
will be on pilates Question" Tomor-
row is to be observed as Go to Sun
day School Sunday Remember that
the road to ruin is paved by good in
tentions; the road to success with
good deeds and actions"

constructed OF pressed grey brick with
stone trimmings. 1t is elegant in arch
itectural design and workmanship. The
cornerstone which was laid with Ma
sonic honors soon after the building
was begun, bears on its several ia
cades the following inscriptions:
On the north-"St. Andrews Church,
Bryan, Texas, 1S67-1912."
On the east-"Christ also loved the
Church and gave Himself for it,"
On the south-"Rt. Rev. Geo. H.
Kinsolving. d. D., Bishop. Rev. Will
liam Wesley Daup, B. A., Rector"
The grounds around the church,
which is one of the most beautiful ele-
vations in the city, have been filled
sufficiently high to give them a ter
raced effect, and broad and spacious
concrete walks and concrete steps
have been made.
The building is steam heated
throughout and the lighting system, as
we'll as the acoustics, is perfect. The
vestibule at the main entrance is laid
in tile and the words. "St. Andrews,
1912" are wrought in the thing in
colors.
Inside the church the effect is mar.
yelously beautiful. Here the handi.
work of real artists is seen, and the
whole is so perfectly harmonized and
blended as to be impossible of ade-
quate description. The elegant lights,
the art windows, the beautiful drap'
cries and splendid carvings, make up
an interior scarcely equaled in a city
of like Importance with Bryan.
The naive or main auditorium is COX
so feet in dimensions and is elegantly
seated and carpeted. 1t has seating
capacity of three hundred. The organ
Ind choir are located near the pulpit
and the space allotted them is liberal
voiding any crowded or stuffy appear

hand carved and we're all done by 6
