that this is intended by England, as

has aroused Keen anxiety. not only in
Washington, but throughout Europe.
That Japan's ambition is TO complete

general belief. This is her opportunity
TO drive Germany from the far east.
In addition to Kiao-Chau. the Ger
mans own a number of islands of great
strategic importance. including the
Ladrone and Caroline islands, and a
harbor and coaling station in Samoa.
Germany also owns a large section OF
New Guinea, which will probably pass
into Japanese hands should the yell

Should Japan gain the holdings of
the German empire in the far east.

Woman Attacks Attorney-Driven
to frenzy by the serving of bench
warrant accusing her of contempt OF
court, Mrs. Adalia Jahr, 912 West Lo-
Gust street, assaulted City Attorney
Carl Lambach yesterday morning and
inflicted painful injuries about the face
and neck. Attorney Lambach accom-
panied Constable Phil Kahles to the
woman's residence while the latter
served the bench warrant, an out
growth of the thousand dollar dam
age suit OF August Steffen company
against Hugo Jahr and wife. The
woman first refused to pay any atten-
ton to the bench warrant, as she did
a writ of replevin. She was told that
she would be hailed into court in the
police patrol, and she consented to ac-
company the two men. Attorney Lam
bach was alone in the house with the
woman and her daughter, when Mrs.
Jahr suddenly turned and grasped
him. He made no attempt to defend
himself and the crazed woman sank
her nails into his face and neck. His
injuries, however, are not serious. In
the midst of the fracas. the daughter
is said to have started to get a re-
volver. with the intention of using II
on the attorney. She was frustrated
in the attempt by the arrival of Phil
Kahles. Attorney Lambach stated
that he would not prosecute her on an
assault charge. Mrs. Jahr is the wom-
an who. several weeks ago. brought a
complaint against Shantz, the grocer.
for selling bad eggs. At the time the
deputy sheriff had considerable
trouble with her. according to state
ments. Mr.. Lambach is attorney for
the August z. Steffen company. The
woman's husband. Hugo Jahr. is made
defendant in a damage suit instituted
by the Steffen company. Mrs. Jahr is
said to hold orders owned by the Stef-
fen company to the amount of over
