Russia to the Rescue.

Time and again Russia has got into action

Hartman. Tenn. June 10. 1916.
You ask about the real Japanese

pretend TO be politician. nor do
think any one is able to dogmatize
on this question. n Is presumable
that the best papers reflect public
opinion. but I doubt II that is the
true gauge. az in every country
where liberty OF the press is allowed
there are hotheads Who are ready TO
fly on on The slightest occasion.
Naturally they get into the papers
and make stir and that is what
some newspaper men like I have
many 1eveI-headed men as my good
erfn 80
Judging from what hear them say.
believe the real sentiment II de-
cidedly friendly but TO say the
worst Of IL, they feel that friendship
toward America In necessary 10 their
national life Two or three years
ago there waA A time when T really
feared trouble. I sympathize with
the Japanese In their resentment Of
the treatment they received AZ tho
hands OF our lswmakers-especially
in California. also sympathize
with the Californians IN not wanting
20 be overrun by Japanese. Nothing
short Of a serious insult would drive
the Japanese 10 war with the United
States. America ought 10 be above
ri ling another nation An insult. The
ordinary Japanese consider that II
would be an easy matter 10 whip the
United States. They admire the
Germans as soldiers. but look down
upon the British and the Americans.
The American. however, Is the ideal
business man with them.--Letter to
