as to China. the Viscount declares.
The apprehension entertained by
some thinkers. mostly cursed with
Germanophobia, that should the war
close in favor of Germany JAPAN
would be placed in a grave situation
has gradually disappeared.
Viscount Kato does not agree with
those thinkers who claim the Anglo
japanese alliance valueless because
British in China are constantly COM
batting Japan's interests there. and
because Russia, against whose am
billions the agreement was concluded,
is now no longer a menace. He says:
The tendency of the British in
China 10 combat Japan's interests
in that country cannot be denied.
However, any action or utterance
Of those British people in China. who
are in nowise representative figures
Of the British nation, must not be
seriously taken as mirroring the SEN
timents Of the British empire, and
what we have 20 take into consider
alton Is what opinion the British gov
ernment and enlightened British peo-
pie in England entertain towards the
alliance"
AS for Russia, the ex-minister
says. II should be remembered that
the present equilibrium in the far
east is q result Of the alliance with
England. and II the alliance were
cancelled some effective substitute
would have to be found TO insure the
equilibrium.
Alliance Great Benefit.
To Japan the alliance will always
prove a great benefit, the statesman
thinks. For one thing, he declares.
Japan will be able 10 dispense with
any further extension OF her naval
strength which otherwise would
have to be expanded to an extent
beyond the financial capacity Of the
empire. Viewed from this stand
point only the maintenance OF the
alliance Is Of vital importance and
II is a great mistake TO think that
the growth Of friendly relations with
Russia has removed the necessity OF
its continuance.
He adds: Japan should strike to
further her position among the
worlds nations by respecting and
to the spirit and principle
OF the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and

The Red Cross wants the help
of every woman in Redwood

suffering among them.
Hospital garments are also
badly needed. According to lat

are needed in huge numbers
then come the pajama suit and
convalescent robes next in i'm

woman can spare a few hours
each week to go up. to the Red
Cross rooms to sew for wound

Let us show our loyalty by
settling down to serious work

Bad Freight Wreck
Nine Loaded Cars And Tender
Jump from Track at North
Redwood Last Friday

A bad wreck occurred at
North Redwood on the M. and
st. L. road last Friday morning
caused by the tender of the west
bound freight leaving the track
shortly after the engine passed
the elevator. While the engine
itself remained on the track, the
tender and the nine loaded cars
just back of it were tipped at
any number of precarious angles
and the track utterly demolished
for distance of thirty rods.
Ties were splintered into kind
ling wood and steel rails were
twisted double. The train was
running with full head Of steam
in order to make the grade ahead
and consequently the impetus of
the loaded cars was tremendous.
Fortunately none of the crew
was seriously hurt although the
engineer sustained a broken
ankle from jumping from the
cab when he thought the entire
train was due to roll down the
embankment. The brakenen and
conductor were unhurt.
The work of rigntIng the track
was done with surprising rap
idity and BY Saturday it was
possible for trains to run on the
side track so that traffic was he'd
up for . surprisingly short time
time considering the seriousness
of the wreck. The damaged
track will have to be entirely
rebuilt.
