No Danger of
War With Japan.

Considerable is being said about the
speech OF Baron Maxine in the Japa-
nese parliament, and some people still
affect to believe that there is yet dan
ger in trouble resulting from the con-
troversy over the California alien land
LAW although the administration at
Washington does not fear any rupture
between the two countries and really
believes that all differences will soon
be settled in an amicable way
1t has now been several months
since there has been a Japanese war
scare 1t is probable that this spectre
has been overshadowed by the war in
States toward the Mexican govern
ment, but as a ''rawhead and bloody
bones it can never be entirely aband-
oned by the jingoes and by those who
are always hunting for something
alarming even at the expanse of the
peace and good viii of two friendly
nations It was not to be expected
that the Japanese question would be
allowed to rest g. great while, and so
there need be no surprise when it is
brought to the front
Ever since the United States has
owned tho Philippines there has been
a belief that Japan was laundering for
these islands, and would seek a quar-
a chance to secure them and that such
a pretense existed in the California
anti -alien land laws. Such has been
the reason that has been assigned for
desire on the part of the mikado
to give battle to Uncle Sam.
1t is probable that Japan would like
to own the Philippines, but the rulers
in Japan know that this territory can
never be acquired by conquest Japan
knows, too, that England, which has
stood as an ally, would never consent.
to a war between the Japanese and
Americans. so that there is little dan
ger OF an actual war ever taking place.
So far as the anti-alien laws are
concerned the matter of states rights
is involved to a very large extent and
if the supreme court OF the United
States holds the laws constitutional,
there will be no further need for OBJ
lection on the part of Japan for that
will settle it and other states will fol-
low the lead of California.
There is no prospect of the limited
States being involved in war at any
time in the near future and those
who have been wanting war and have
been looking to revolution ridden Mex
leo as the best source Of expectancy,
are almost certain to be disappointed,
for that offers the only even remote
possibility

Of his feilow-workers the other day
as he tugged away at the handle of a
heavily laden truck being used to con-
vey file cabinets. books, bundles of
records, small parts of machines and
other articles from the old bureau OF
engraving and printing building to the
new three million-dollar structure ad-
joining it which is to be the future
home OF that important branch of the
government.
Hts expression was not amiss, when
one considers that the printing of the
nue. stamps for the nations use neces-
states the employment of about 1000
men and women, and that this number
is sufficient to populate a town of fair
size. The fact that the floor space in
the new building totals to something
more than ten acres also makes the
use of the words bureau town" en-
tirely proper.

in the work of the office is one of the
most difficult tasks ever undertaken by

tate the moving OF machines and other

Director Ralph has had a heavy board
walk constructed between the two
structures. for the pavement and side
walk along that section of 14th street
was quite uneven. Hand-drawn trucks
and heavy hauling drays are being used
in moving most Of the things, while skids
and rollers are being utilized in trans
porting the heavy presses and other ma
chinee.
The new home for the bureau OF en-
craving and printing is said to be the
finest factory in the world. 1t is said to
every standpoint. In planning the build
ins two things were kept in view at all
tin7es-namely, to provide structure
where the paper money and stamps for
under the most economical conditions and
yet be safeguarded in every possible way,
and to provide absolutely sanitary ana
cheerful surroundings for the small army
The 5ightSeer also was taken into con-
sideration In designing the structure. for

ways has been popular with the thou
sands Of people who visit the National
Capital each year. More than a mile Of
visitors galleries have been provided in

have a steel locker, II by Is inches in
size and feet high.
Many thousand dollars have been ex-
pended In providing the ventilation sys-
tenn for the building. In the basement Of
the northern and southern wings huge
circulating fans have been installed. Be-
fore being pumped throughout the build
ing, the air is cleansed by means of tets
Of water which serve to cool it during

passed through the cleaning process.

been provided on each floor.
Elaborate Signal Systems.
An elaborate system OF signals is to be
employed in the building. There is a

stations for reporting in every section
of the building. In addition to a COM
plete telephone system, there is a sys-
tenn for calling the.various division SUPER
