AnglO-Japanese Alliance

From Present Day Government in Ja-
 pan" by Walter Wallace McLaren, in
 Asia magazine.
 In preparation for the inevitable conflict with Russia, the military party in Ja- pan began to look about for an alliance with some first class European power, for 1t was clearly recognized that unaided the Japanese could not hope to win. The resultant Anglo-Japanese alliance resem- bled in all essentials the treaties when bound one European nation to another Tn the preservation of the status quo in the Far East, and aimed particularly at bringing Russian aggression in Korea and China to a halt, since Russia was regarded both by Great Britain and Japan as the immediate source of danger to the stability of their interests.
 If Great Britains willingness to assocl- ate herself with Japan was in the main due to her fear of Russia as the disturb CT of the status quo in the Far East, the treaty was symptomatic of a far-reach- ing change, not so much in the principles underlying Britains foreign policy as in the methods of giving it expression. Hith- erto Britain had depended upon her own after 1899 the dominance of British sea power was threatened by the German na- I val policy.
 I As for Japan, there was nothing Du' British prestige and her fear of Russian i imperialism to make her desire the ali ance with England. In political institu- tions and th- predominance of the mill l tary party in the government, Japan re-

 TOWARD SETTLING DETROIT STRIKE
Possibility of Walkout Being Extended to Half Dozen Other Cities, Declare
 Union Officials
By Associated Press

Detroit, June 10.-Little progress was made today toward an immediate settle ment of the street car strike that has completely tied up street car traffic for three days.
 Union officials said tonight there is a possibility of the walk-out being ex- tended tomorrow to include interurban
 car men and employees of street railway lines in half dozen other southern Mich igan cities. A meeting is to be held to- morrow to decide whether this action shall be taken.
 An injunction served on the Detroit
 United Railways company, ordering car service resumed on certain lines, was
 met today by the reply that the company would fight the order in the courts, while Corporation Counsel Wilcox announced he would ask the circuit court to place the company in the hands of receiver unless the injunction is complied with. | The city council has acted favorably ' upon Mayor James Couzens' suggestion

Montgomery, June 10.-(Speeial.)- .)-The city ordinance of Birmingham. which fixes the quality of sweet milk to be sold in the Magic City is not indefinite and ambiguous and it explains in clear manner the requirements, according to decision handed down Tuesday afternoon by the court of appeals of Alabama in the case of w. H. Fuqua vs. the city of Birmingham. The decision of the circuit court Of Jefferson county in the F'uqua ca SC was affirmed by the higher court It was contended in the appeal docu- ments that the ordinance was indefinite and complicated. The courts opinion, written by Justice Brlcken ruled there was nothing wrong with the ordinance.
 Ben Chambers, convicted in the circuit court of Marshall county on charge of seduction, will get another trial, the court of appeals having reversed and remanded the case. The reversal resulted from er- TOTS committed by the lower court Chambers alleged that during the trial there was much laughter and that this had something to do with the verdict of the jury. He also alleged the court that tried him had no Jurisdiction. The higher court, however. ruled that the state law did give the court Jurisdiction.
 Cases handed down by the court of ap- peals on Tuesday afternoon follow :;
 
 state Etowah circuit court, appeal dis missed.
 Lee Cox ys. state. Etowah circuit court, appeal dismissed.

mittee member, that the counsel for the defense also associated with brother of
 Mason followed Col. Eugene R. West, ficers while trials were in progress.
 chief Of the legislative section of the judge advocate generals, department, who concluded two days of lengthy tech nical discussion of proposed statutory changes in military law. Colonel West left with the committee a series of changes which he thought would cure the ills that had caused the present in quiry, emphasizing that these changes were proposed to affect the army regu- lstions and not the statutory.
 THREE CHANGES SUGGESTED
 T would have three principal changes made" said Colonel West. First, there should be a more complete preliminary investigation hy competent officers thus reducing the number of trials by special and general courts. Second, only thor oughly competent officers should be de tailed to courtsmartial, thus insuring bet ter courts. Third, better counsel should be assured both the accused and the gov ernment. With these things accom- plished, there would be no need of reme- dial legislation"
 Chairman Gregory asked whether there should not be a provision exempting women from the death penalty.
 We have heard much of the case of Poor Edith Cavell,' ]" Colonel West said. "Yet I have become rather firmly con vinced that she was subject to her fate by the usual laws of war. Certainly the French have executed women spies"
 Colonel West agreed with the chairman that it would be only consistent with the Anglo-Saxon attitude on the Caven case to except women from the death pen alty, but he added:
 T believe that woman spy deserves the same fate as man spy. Otherwise we would open the gates wide to the most resourceful class of spies that is ir1o1vro
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-11
NEW DEATH PENALTY

Colonel West brought out that the Ansell measure adds a new death pen alty to the laws of war, that of being intoxicated while in a zone of combat. The present system, he said, leaves pun ishment for drunkenness on duty any where to the discretion of the court martial.
 Colonel Hinkley of Baltimore led the witness into a discussion of the proplie- ty of making soldiers subject to all the criminal statutes of the federal govern ment or the District of Columbia, as pro- posed in the Ansell act
 Colonel West thought that army law should set a definite age and suggested IS. He and the committee agreed that it would be unjust to apply all District of Columbia laws to the army.
 The committee let it be known that only two more days will be devoted to taking testimony. An equal time, it was planned, wal be given to preparing re- port, and it was indicated that no at tempt would be made to draw up a bill to substitute for the Ansell measure.
