Japan's Ability to Fight the European.

Japan, naturally alarmed, demanded
that Russia evacuate Manchuria, and
Russia repeatedly promised to do so,
but never fulfilled her promises. Japan
saw great European power confront
ing her in threatening attitude; per-
haps threatening her very existence
as an independent nation. On Febru-
airy Of 1904 she severed diplomatic re-
latlons with Russia and two days later
Admiral Togo made torpedo attack
upon the Russian fleet lying at Port
Arthur, followed by fleet attack the
following day. BY these two attacks
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur was
practically put out of commission. On
the day of the last attack a japanese
fleet defeated the Russian squadron
lying Off ChemulpO.
Japan Declared War.
The next day Japan formally de-
clared war.
The subsequent events of the war
were the bombardment of VladivOstok
March 6; bombardment of Port Arthur
March p; occupation Of Win at the
mouth Of the Yalu river April 6, and
the passage of the river and the defeat
of the Russian army opposing on May 1.

cupied Korea. The japanese navy
utterly destroyed Russia's sea power
in the Pacific and the japanese army,
after a series of victories, laid siege to
Port Arthur. Another Japanese army

churia and administered a crushing
defeat at Mukden.
The Russian transportation and sup
ply corps utterly broke down and be-
came useless grand dukes at the Man.
churian headquarters reveled In car
loads of courtesans and champagne
while the soldiers needed food and
clothing, and there was an orgy Of
official graft.
Port Arthur made valiant defense
but surrendered ON january l, 1905.
Provisions of Treaty.
By this treaty japan and Russia
mutually agreed to evacuate Man
churia, excepting the Liao-tung pc
ninsula, which was taken over by
Japan. Russia transferred her lease
of Port Arthur to Japan. as well as the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the Manchurian railroad. The Man.
churian railroads were to be used for
commercial purposes only. Russia
ceded to Japan the island Of Saghalin,
great island stretching north and
south along the Siberian coast. and
gave japan fishing rights on all the
Pacific waters of Russia.
The Russian humiliation was com.
plete. Japan had arrived" and not
long afterward Great Britain became
her ally.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agrieulture.)
The wool grower who markets his
wool as an individual is handicapped,
for his clip is likely to be too small
to induce the buyers to make any al
terations in their accustomed methods
Of estimating wool values. BY com
binlng or pooling his wool with other
growers and selling 1t comparatively,
1t should be possible to prepare the en-
tire clip Of any section so that the
reputation Of its wool would be en-
HANGED and the growers obtain the
full market value for their product,
say specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
In its simplest form, the cooperative
selling of wool may operate merely in
the collection and disposal Of the clip.
The wool may be collected ut some
central point and sold privately, or
by auction sale, or by sealed bids. In
some cases 1t may be advisable to have
a local representative handle wool for
the growers, or the wool may be con-
signed to a merchant In some central
market. The latter method requires
less actual time, experience, expense
and labor.
How to Organize Selling Clubs.
When farmers of community de-
eide to consign their wool, some one
grower should be designated to act as
informal manager. He should make ar
rangements with all the growers to de
liver their wool at certain shipping
point on a specified day. He should
be on hand when the wool is graded,
If that has been provided for at the
loading station, and to see the wool
loaded and shipped.
This plan provides a nucleus for a
permanent organization, and is the
first step In more efficient system for
marketing WOOL The experience gained
by one years operation under this
plan is often sufficient to warrant the
establishment Of permanent coop
erative marketing association. When
planning such an association, the
growers should meet and discuss the
proposed plan thoroughly, appoint
committee to investigate the posslblli-
ties, the financing, suitable warehouse
accommodations. shipplng facilities.
and any other local conditions which
demand attention. Much mlsunder-
standing may be avoided by having
the plan reduced to writing, no mat
ter how simple the cooperative Idea
may seem.
The success or failure Of a co-opera.
tive organization for the marketing Of
wool depends upon the necessity for
organization, local conditions, organ
ization efficiency, and the loyalty of
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-07-25

those participating. The most inn
portant factor in an organization
formed for the cooperative market
Ing Of wool is the selection of a sales
manager having experience in wool
and with sufficient business capabiIi-
ties to command the confidence of the
growers.
Provision for Expense Funds.
If the members Of the cooperative
marketing association desire a loan
on their wool, arrangements should be
made with a local banker to advance
to the association sufficient amount
to cover such loans Each member
should be assessed certain amount
for each pound of wool to cover the
expense of loading and shipping, this
amount to be deducted at the time OF
final settlement. Funds thus provided
may be used for such expenses as labor
for handling the wool, fire insurance,
rental for warehouse, etc. In fixing
date for delivery of the wool, II should
be understood that in case Of rain the
collecting will be postponed until the
first clear day.
The price paid for wool is deter
mined by the grade Of the clip and
when selling under the cooperative
plan 1t is frequently possible to have
the wool graded at the time 1t Is
loaded. Thus each grower will know
before his wool reaches the market
whether 1t has been graded choice, av-
erage or poor. When a sufficient guam
tity of wool Is pooled, some buyers
win send wool classer or grader to
grade each growers wool separately.
If this Is done, an accurate record OF
each farmers clip should be kept by
the manager and statement sent to
the different growers showing the
number of fleeces and net weight OF
each grade. If possible, each grower
should be present when the wool is
graded, for a few actual demonstra-
tions of this kind impress the grower
and will create an incentive to pro-
duce wool of higher grade.
II possible, arrangements to sell the
wool should be made while the grader
Is present, so that he may represent
the growers and explain In an lntelli-
gent way to the buyers the merits of
the different grades. As rule, wool
growers have little definite knowledge
concerning grading, shrlnkage, spin
ming properties or value Of their wool.
while the buyers-at least most of
them-are familiar not only with
these points but have accurate infOr-
nation concerning market conditions
and the attitude of the manufacturers
towards the purchase of wool, and par~
ticularly the demand for certain
grades.

II the war which Japan waged
against China in 1894 demonstrated
to the world that new power had APP
peared in the Pacific, still 1t was ar
gued by the western nations that she
had only fought with Asiatles. They
spoke rather patronizingly of her mill
ltary exploits after the treaty Of Shl-
monosek; after the treaty Of Ports
mouth they spoke with an admiration
40 less sincere because grudglngly be-
slowed. After Shimonoseki Japan was
q promising younger brother; after
Portsmouth she was nation to be
treated with as an equal and one to
make alliances with.
No sooner had France, Germany and
Russia forced Japan after the treaty
OF Shimonoseki to retrocede to China
the best fruits of the war, the peninsu-
la of LiaO-tung, than China turned
around and leased Port Arthur and
Liao-tung to Russia by lease which
was only cover for direct cession.
This little deal between Russia and
China rather chagrined the other two
powers which had Joined with Russia
In forcing japan to retrocede Lao
tung. Germany at once demanded as
an equivalent that China leave to her
the city and bay Of Klao-chau on the
same terms as those by which Russia
held Port Arthur-and China did so.
France, being an ally Of Russia in the
triple entente, valulng that alliance
very highly, swallowed her chagrin at
her false diplomatic move In Joining
In the coercion of Japan, while Great
Britain demanded as an offset to the
Russian occupation of Port Arthur a
lease Of the Chinese naval station of
Wei-hai-wel on the north shore of the
Shan-tung peninsula, Pe-chi-n.
Now Held by Japanese.
To dispose Of the subsequent fate
of these British and German acquisl-
lions here 1t may be said that England
didnnothing with Wel-hai-wel and final
ly gave 1t back to China, while Ger
many, on the pretext of murdered
missionary, formally annexed Klao-
chau and the surrounding territory
and heavily fortified the place. 1t was
captured by the japanese in the recent
war and is now held by them.
AS soon as Russia got Port Arthur
she turned 1t into fortress as nearly
impregnable as she could make 1t and
constructed great commercial port
in the neighboring bay of Talllen-wan.
She concluded a treaty with China
which gave her control of the Man
churian railroad and linked 1t up with
her Trans-Siberlan railroad. The
Boxer uprising of 1S99-19OO gave Rus
STA and excuse to pour troops into
Manchuria. Manchuria became, in fact,
a Russian province, and Russia began
to encroach upon Korea.

Our relations with France have gen.
orally been Of such a friendly nature
from the founding of the nation until
tire present day that most people have
forgotten that we were ever at war
with her. But we were, from the
spring OF. 179S to September, 1900.
James Monroe was minister to
France in 1798 when the Directory
which had succeeded 20 the Terror OF
Robesplerre" informed him that the
treaty Of 177s between France and the
United States was at an end because
America had signed the treaty with
England known as Jays treaty. Mr..
Monroe replied that the treaty Of IT'S
had already been brought to nothing
by the constant capture of American
ships by French men Of war. France,
under the Terror. had regarded the
rest of the world in the same light as
the Russian bolshevists do now. Amer
ican merchant ships were captured and
condemned and sold.
Mr.. Monroe was too plant; he was
recalled, and Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney was sent over In his place.
The Directory from purely selfish mo-
tives continued the policy Of claiming
exemption from international law
which the Terror had begun in the
name Of liberty. The French govern
ment would not receive Pinckney and
ordered him out of the country. Presi-
dent Adams called a special session Of
congress and recommended the prompt
formation OF navy and the permls-
sion for merchant ships to arm them
selves.
Extra ENJOYS Named.
Pinckney was In Holland. The pres
fdent appointed Elbridge Gerry and
John Marshall as extra ENJOYS to Join
pinckney, to 90 to Paris and negoti-
ate. On reaching Paris the commits
sfoners found that Talleyrand was min
lister Of foreign affairs. Talleyranc
sent go-betweens to the commissioners
telling them that before the Directory
would negotiate they must pay bribe
of $4,000. The 5ribe was to be d.
vided among all the directors except
one who, II was explained. was already
making enough money BY his rake-of
on the condemnation Of American
ships. And there was another little
matter; the United States must make
a loan to the French government OF

PEREMPTORY REFUSAL
IMPOSSIBLE. SAYS WOLFF

BERLIN, June 21.-(By Assocla-
ted Press. Theodore Wolff, editor
in chief of the Tage- -biatt, telephoned
that newspaper from Weimar that
those in favor of signing the treaty
are so active and numerous among
the Majority Socialists and the Cleri-
Gals that peremptory refusal to sign
the terms is hardly possible.
Members of the national assembly
who take this stand, Herr Wolff says,
are being given active support by
several Majority Socialist members
of the cabinet, who now are openly
urging the appointment of Matthias
Erzberger to head the new cabinet.
Herr Wolff states that the solution
now being sought will be in the ma
ture of compromise. He believes
that Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau
the foreign minister, can hardly be
expected to stay if the compromise
represents too great concession to
the elements now clamorirg for the
signature of the treaty.

ward toward the edge of the great
semi-circle which marks the dividing
line between the occupied areas and
the neutral sections of Germany.
Orders had been flashed from
headquarters in Coblenz to divisions

prepare to march into the zone of
concentration.
The Second division was the first
to move. Ordinarily the Sayre Val
ley, which meets the Dhine neal
Neuweid, where the division head
quarters are located, is cool and
peaceful in summer, but today it ap-
peared somewhat like the valley of
the Ourcq, last summer, when the
Americans were driving the Germans
back to the Vesle.
All day clouds of dust followed
the movement of the tractors and
guns of the Seventeenth Field Artil-
ley, which meets the Rhine near
tress of Ehrenbreitstein, out to the
edge of the bridgehead, where the
great valley stretches away toward
Berlin. Tonight the American SOL
diers are sleeping in the open fields.
