These two years OF warfare i'm the
Christian world have been fat years
for Japan. She gathers in steadily
riches and lands and strategic ad-
vantage at the expense OF both her
enemies and friends, and she realizes
am billions which in normal times
would have remained dreams Of the
distant future. Among all her sources
OF acknowledgements none is more fer
tile field than Russia.
Russia. which Nippon fought not
many years ago. is now her good ally
20 which she sells munitions of war
and foodstuffs for consideration.
An interesting compact this between
Petrograd and Toxic. a typical COM
pact eXempllfying in a manner al
most classic the underlying princi-
pies which govern the average inter
national alliance.
There is no love between Russia
and Japan: the present deal is found
ed completely and frankly on inter-
est. Each nation needs the other.
and according wooes the other.
But Russia needs Japan consider
ably more than Japan needs Russia.
This situation Is temporary and viii

Germany in the unhampered fashion
and with the confidence which comes
from possession of abundance of
shot and shell. Japan could get along
without Russia, but il is to her ad-
vantage to enter into good relations
with her. She needs the money and
the other considerations she is able
70 exact.
With the great Slav empire the To-
kio alliance is a necessity; whereas
TO the Nipponese the Slav alliance
stands only as a rare opportunity.
1t is related that Sazanoff, while
minister OF foreign affairs in Petro-
grad. looked with small favor on the
compact with Japan because he be-
lieved IL held large pOtentialities for
evil, and he agreed TO it only because
there seemed TO be no other course
open. No alliance, no munitions and
fOodstuffs.
Already Russia is paying the price.
Put plainly, Japan is bleeding her.
Some indication OF the thoroughness
of the operation comes in the des-
patch announcing that as a separate
agreement Russia has sold Japan the
southern half of the Harbin-Chang-
chun railroad and has recognized
Japan's rights on the Sungari river
between Kirin and Petuna. These are
concessions for which Toxic has con-
tended since the Portsmouth treaty,
concessions Russia never would have
made except under pressure.
They mean a diminution of Slav in
nuence in China, a distinct loss of
prestige. and correspOndingly they
carry the undisputed Japanese
sphere of operations we'll into Man
churia from Korea, constitute a
hanking movement on Pekin and
materially strengthen Japan's hege-
mony in all northern China. The deal
is a distinct menace to the integrity
of China.
Yet il is not so much the mere fact
that Russia has granted these favors
to Japan which has significance. The
portentous aspect il in the circum-
stance that the deal was made under
duress. that Russia was not free
agent. The longer the war contin-
ues. the more of this sort of thing We
NAV expect. Japan has always shown

WATCHMAN KILLED
 NEAR MINE NO. }

George Greenway, aged 65 years, of Seventh street, Pratt City, was mur dered last night by unknown parties near mine No. 8 of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. His body was discovered at 8:15 last night and although life was extinct the body was still warm. Death resulted from a frac- tured skull. A bloody pick handle was found near the body and was evidently the instrument through which Mr. Greenway met his death. With the ex- ception of his pistol, no valuables were taken, his watch being still running when the body was found and in his pocket was a pocketbook containing a small amount of money.
 MT. Greenway was night watchman for the Birmingham Slag company and the supposition is that he was set upon by tramps who were frightened away before searching the pockets of their victim.
 The remains were plSced in charge of the Sam Foley Undertaking establish ment and Coroner Spain notified. The police department at Ensley is work ing on the case, but no clue has been found to the murderers.

Regular Meeting of the Ensley Club Will Be Held Tuesday Night at
 Inferior Courtroom

John Williams and Square Moseley, ne- groes, were killed, and Felix Green, a white man, was probably fatally injured yesterday afternoon about o'clock at Mo- 3 mines of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company at Ensey. The acci- dent was caused by several tons of coal falling on the three men while they were working in one of the rooms down Tn the mines. According to the report the coal gave way very suddenly and the men did not have chance to run out of the room As soon as the rocks were through falling a number of men were put to work to rescue the three impris- oned men, It. required over 40 minutes for the miners to reach the men, as they were working under difficulty for fear they would further injure the imprisoned men or that some more of the walls might cave in. When the men were reached it was found that Williams and Moseley were crushed to death and that Green was seriously injured. Besides be ing internally injured Green received d very badly fractured right leg. He was rushed to the Emergency hospital of the company, where he was given medical attention. He was later moved to the company's infirmary, where at a late hour last night he was reported to be resting well. The bodies of the two ne groes were turned over to Echols x Angwins to be prepared for burial. Over 300 men were working in the mines at the time of the accident, but as the cave in was only in one room they remained in the mines and many helped to rescue the three men.

DELEGATES TO BE NAMED

At the meeting of the Ensley lodge No. NS7 Benevolent Protective Order or Elks, which will be held at their home on Avenue D Monday night, delegates will be named to attend the meeting of the reorganized Alabama State Elks' associa- ton. which will be held in Eufaula on Eext Thursday and Friday. Besides the delegates and alternates about 20 mem bers of the local lodge are planning on making the trip, which promised to be one of the biggest occasions ever held in this state by the Elks. The members of the Eufaula lodge have arranged an elaborate programme for the two days, which includes a street parade, an old fashion barbecue at the pump station, a dance at the New Eufaula Country club and many other interesting events. Re ports from the clubs thoroughout the state indicate that there will be very large attendance at the meeting.
 Funeral services over the remains of w. F. Leverton, who died at the late residence Thursday night follow ing a lengthy illness, were conducted from the Ensley Baptist church yes- terday afternoon. The Rev. A. k Wright, pastor of the church, offici- ated. Interment followed at the Oak land cemetery. MT. Leverton had re- sided in this city for 20 years and was we'll knokn throughout the district. The deceased is survived by three sons, Milton Leverton of Tennessee, Edward Leyerton of Birmingham and Harry Leverton of Ensley.
 The regular meeting of the EnSleY club will be held Tuesday night in the inferior courtroom at s o'clock, The chief discussion of the evening will be the report of the Warrior river road committed While it has been stated that the route selected Will pass through this city the members of the club are becoming impatient and want the road to be built as soon as pos eible A resolution to this effect will probably be made urging the board or revenue to start work on the road. The committee appointed to see the com missioners about rerouting the South Ensley car line in the business districf of Birmingham will also be taken up together with the committee on repalr- ing several roads leading into this city, Several other matters will be taken up and all members are requested to be present.
