The Growing Menace of Japan.

It should not be difficult nor long job for
japan to reduce the German fortresses at Kiao
Chau to submission. She captured Port Arthur,
which was garrisoned by over 10000 Russians
and aided by large fleet, after siege of several
months. The German stronghold is garrisoned
by only about 1900 men and is aided by only a
few cruisers The chances are all against Kiao
Chau, therefore being unable to offer the same
measure of resistance as was the case with Port
Arthur Consequently few weeks should see
this valuable point in the hands of the Japanese
What then, as far as Japan's further partici-
patton in the war is concerned?
One of the reasons given by the Japanese
for entering the present great European strug-
gle and extending it to Asia and the Pacific was
that the presence of German war vessels in
Pacific waters was hindering the commerce of
Japan and of Japan's ally, England. Therefore,
for this and for the further reason that Japan
wanted Germany's influence permanently re-
moved from China, she calmly invited the Kaiser
to surrender Kiao Chau to her Ito be held in
trust" for China and to withdraw his few war
ships from Chinese waters.
Obviously the only reply Germany could make
to such an insulting ultimatum was war; And
war it is, with the Japanese fleet already bonn
harding the German Notifications at Kiao Chau.
Kiao Chau will fall, but there are still addi-
tional German possessions in the Pacific. She
owns the Caroline Islands, with the single excep-
ton of Guam which the United States has owned
as valuable cable and fleet coaling station since
it was occupied by us during the Spanish Ameri-
can war. Germany also owns two out of the three
important islands in the Samoan group. The
United States owns the third island in this group,
Tutuila, with the finest harbor in the Pacific,
Pago Pago. This harbor forms another of the
important outer defenses of this country in the
Pacific to protect our western states from in
vasion.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would
like to increas, their weight with 10
or Is pounds of healthy stay there"
fat should try eating little Sargol
with their meals for awhile and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sargol
one tablet with every meal-for two
weeks. Then weigh and measure
yourself again. 1t isn't a question of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say or think The scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or
woman can easily add from five to
eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple direc-
ton. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats sugars and starches of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues
and blood-prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes away from your body as
waste But Sargol stops the waste
and does it quickly and makes the fat
producing contents of the very same
meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh
between your skin and bones. Sargol
is safe, pleasant, efficient and mex
pensive. Leo H. Fihe and other lead
ing druggists in Richmond and vicin-
ity sell it in large boxes-forty tab
lets to a package-on guarantee Of
weight increase or money back.

an easy matter as these places are not - well
fortified as Kiao Chau. Once In possession OF
these points, the base of the Japanese menace to
this country will have been moved four thousand
miles nearer our Pacific coast
Japan in Asia il six thousand miles from San
Francisco. Japan In the Samoan Islands is but
twenty-three hundred miles from that city and
less than that distance from the Hawaiian
Islands, our greatest fortified outpost
If Japan seizes these other German posses
sions and thus brings her menacing fleet and
army within little over two thousand miles of
our Pacific coast, we win have England to thank
for this nearing perspective Of the Japanese per-
il to our country. England through its alliance
with Japan is directly responsible for inviting it
to join in the general assault on Germany.
England, who forced us by her tyranny to
dissolve the tie that bound us over hundred
years ago in the War of the Revolution.
England, who by her insolent disregard of
our rights as nation forced us to compel her to
recognize them at the lannon's mouth in the
War of 1912.
England who supported the South and
slavery in the great Civil War of '61-'65 by buy
ing millions of dollars worth of southern bonds
in her insanely jealous desire to cripple perma-
nently this great land by disunion; whose sup
port alone enabled the South to prolong that ter
rible fratrcidal struggle with it's attendant great
loss of life and sorrow and suffering both
sides of the line that is more.
England, who allowed southern commerce
destroyers to arm and fit out in British ports
and go out on the seas carrying ruin and destruc-
ton to all shipping flying the flag of the United
States, so that the British merchant marine
should reign supreme and be free from the en-
barrassing American competition.
England, who has showed her true feelings
toward the United States throughout our history
as a nation by such acts as those, now weakens
our defense against the Japanese peril by giving
that nation the chance to seize German territory
that will bring it within easy striking distance
of our Pacific gates.
| If Japan does strike when we are unprepared,
our usual state thanks to our own inefficient
national foresight and the efforts of the misled
among our fellow citizens, it is fortunate that
after we have recovered from the shock and sur
prise of the first onset and finally strike our
pace in battle, will be able to than recoup
the losses due to unpreparedness and the
everlasting hostility of our ex-mother country
by taking away from her another of her daugh-
tiers, the to the north, Canada.
| For the United States can never afford to
fight Japan unless it also fights Japan's ally,
England, and makes that country pay back the
principal with heavy interest of the losses her
hostility and commercial jealousy have caused
and still causing this country.
