Pictorial Record of War

Berlin. May 2O.-( Correspondence of the Associated Press). No history that ever will be written about the great world war now raging will be quite as complete and striking as the huge collection of pho- tographs, bearing on every conceivable phase of the conflict that is being made by the general staff of the German arm.-. Already more than 10000 reproductions that range from soldiers in the trenches to wounded men in the hospitals have been gathered together and filed away for pres ent or future reference. The collection is constantly growing, and requires staff of men to keep in order and supervise. This pictorial record of the war is the finer because the government is able, through the rules which it lays down for all pho tographers who go to the front, to secure a copy of every picture that is made, by amateurs or professionals. The general staff, therefore, has been able to pick and choose for it's own gallery the cream of everything pictorial that concerns the war, and has acquired, not only accurate and interesting representations but photo graphs that in great many cases are ar tistic in the extreme.

 All the time though I was making a study of General Huerta and his wonder tul personality.
 He absolutely dominates; his mag petism is tremendous; his kindness and his modesty are inslstent, and if I were asked what struck me most about the rlan, I should say his tenderness to his family and the keen enjoyment he seems to get from their presence about him.
 His home life is very beautiful, very normal, and very sweet. He adores the sonora, and she, in every glance. shows her loyal and de- voted love for him.
 General Huerta is a soldier every inch of him, educated as he was at Chaputepec (the West Point of Mex icoD. where just as good soldierly ethics are taught as we teach at our own West Point All his life he has l been a loyal officer of the regular | army, and none has ever disputed his continuous and constant loyalty to Diaz. who represented Mexico, to which rather than an lnd1V1dual IS the MeX1- can soldiers loyalty really due.
 General Huerta's oldest son, George, a handsome, soldierly looking young fellow. inherets much of his fathers manner.
 General Huerta is only about five feet, six inches tall, and weights less than 150 pounds, yet he seems to be large man.
 Where then, one Is tempted to ask, does he conceal about his person or in his characted which I have thus snrlned up; conceal the awful short comings, the assassins instinct, the Ct sire that has led him to demand such an appalling expense and loss of fife?
 It isn't there; that's the answer.
 l really believe that Gen. Victoriano Huerta has been as much misrepre- sented and as much maligned by pois- oned news as any man who has ever been in the public eye.
 lie Is just an honest old soldier who in my opinion has never done any thing worse than answer the call or his distracted country Ga call, perhaps technically imperfecD, but a man coulont be as happy in his home with his beloved wife and his eight chil- dren and the dear little grandchildren about him in peace and content, as Gen eral Huerta is at his beautiful homs | at Forest Hills, Long Island, after the strain and the strife of battle scared | days, and not possess some of the | traits I have in my humble way at tributed to him.

Russia nourishes any spirit of revenge. An alliance with Russia is desirable and would only reinforce our alliance with England
 Fears Russia in Future
 "Asada," writing later in the same re- view. thinks the future of the immense Russian race will be prodigious To she supremacy of the Latin race succeeded that of the Teuton and Ang'o-SaSon races. Tomorrow, he believes, will be the turn of the Slavs. To have Rus'sa as an enemy would be very disadvantaSeors. It would be terrible for Japan to be in disaccord with her in the far east. With out her assistance Japan could not nam tain peace in Asia. The author wonders whether the alliance with England is sure He asks: "Will we have the right to ha treated in Canada, Australia ar.d the United States like Europeans?' And he answers: We cannot count upon the friendship of the United States nor on the alliance with England on account oi these questions of emigration and assinila ti on.
 Make an alliance with Russia, keep the friendship of the United States, ant in- crease Japan's influence in China-these are eounsels of a group of serious writers Japan's duty is to augment her financial and economic forces in China, whose in- tegrity is necessary for Japan and the peace of the orient. "Our destiny Is 1m- mense and our task is immense, says an editorial in one review. Seek, therefore, the great and permanent interests and not the temporary. Let us not make enemies of all the powers of Europe. Let us not become the Germany of the far east and start a confagration such is now dcvas- tating Europe
 Ishikawa, in the Chuo Ko Ron Re view, is more emphatic The time has come, he afflrms, for Japan to cultivate her force. He says: Remember that in the twentieth century the feeble. may have right, but the victory will eVer go to the strong. Remember that com rnerce follows the flag. We must sub stitute Japanese products in the mar kets of this hemisphere for the prod lIets of Germany. Austria, France and Belgium"
 The writer thinks the exhausted Flu 1opean powers cannot intervene in the orient and the United States is the only He adds: Not content with expressing us so unjustly in America, the United States will perhaps cause our policy to fail In China and throughout the Pa cific. Up to what point are we to ac- cept this pressure from the United States?"
 The Taiyo Review believes firmly in tr. .ing to keep good relations with the United States. It concludes: If the United States understands our loyalty they will do nothing to hurt our inter ests; if on the other hand, they sus- pect us they will bring forces to bear upon us, obliging Japan to have recur- renee to serious determinations The future of the relations between Japan and the United States does not permit US to neglect our army and our navy

Triumph for New Song

Paris. May 20.-The first public pre- sentation of the new patriotic song, La Francaise," by Miguel Zamacois, with music by Camille Saint-Saens, at the Opera Comique was veritable triumph. Some critics go so far as to character ize the song as the future national an- them. It was sung for the first time by Henri Albers with a strong chorus. For the production of the song Monsieur Gheusi had prepared a patriotic spec tacle entitled, At the Front" intro ducing both La Franchise" and La Marseillaise" The public, already famil- far with the refrain of La Francaise.' . was enthused by the representation, and joined heartily with the chorus.

Machine Guns Bother Allies

British Headquarters, France, May 20. It is still obvious that the extraordinary Germans is one of the chief troubles of the allied forces. The German weapon is a very fine one and in their prepara- ton for war the Germans have trained large numbers of men to it's use and they have studied its tactics as careful ly as they have those of the regular artillery. The machine gun requires tactics of its own, and some military experts say that 1t takes two years to train a man thoroughly in it's use.
