PEACE TREATIES

TREATY OF PORTSMOUTH,, 1905.
lapan's Ability to Fight the European.
BY II. IRVING KING
the Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.J

If the war which japan waged
against China in 1894 demonstrated
to the world that new power had APP
peared in the Pacific, still IL was ar
gued by the western nations that she
had only fought with Asiatics. They
spoke rather patronizingly of her mill
itary exploits after the treaty of Shi-
monosekl; after the treaty Of Ports
mouth they spoke with an admiration
no less sincere because grudgingly be-
slowed. After Shlmonosekl Japan was
promising younger brother; after
treated with as an equal and one to
make alliances with.
No sooner had France, Germanyand
Russia forced Japan after the treaty
OF Shimonoseki to retrocede to China
the best fruits of the war, the peninsu-
In Of Liao-tung, than China turned
around and leased Port Arthur and
Liao-tung 10 Russia by lease which
WIS only cover for direct cession.
This little deal between Russia and
Oh. ma 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 Kiao-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, valuing that alliance
very highly, swallowed her chagrln 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-wei on the north shore of the
Shan-tung peninsula, Pe-chi-li.
Now Held by Japanese.
To dispose of the subsequent fate
of these British and German acquisi-
lions here it may be said that England
did nothing with Wei-haiwei and final

captured by the japanese in the recent
war and is now held by them.
AS soon as Russia got Port Arthur
she turned it into fortress as nearly
impregnable as she could make 1t and
constructed a great commercial port
In the neighboring bay of Tallien-wan.
She concluded n treaty with China
which gave her control of the Man
churian railroad and linked IL up with
her Trans-Slberlan railroad. The
Boxer uprising of 1S99-1900 gave Rus
STA and excuse to pour troops into
Manchuria Manchuria became, in fact,
a Russian province, and Russia began
to encroach upon Korea.

The latest arrivals in blouses are not
different from those that came early
in the season, except In inconspicuous
details of making or trimming. There
is no good reason why designers
should run after strange gods as
long as there is an insistent de-
mand for the styles now in vogue or
until some change in skirts opens the
way for a change in blouses. What
women are most concerned in is
knowledge of the merits of materials
used In blouses and of the most prac-
teal and becoming styles for various
uses.
The most durable and at the same
time dainty blouses for daily wear are
made Of fine cotton wolfe. 1t does not
seem possible that so sheer and fine a
fabric could have such powers of re-
sistance to wear and Tubing, but the
fact remains that II will outlast any
other. When made up with strong
cluny or fillet, or handkerchief laces,
one may depend upon wolfe blouse
for two years wear, some times more
Tatting makes as fine a finish as the
most fastidious taste can ask for
blouses made of wolfe or other cottons.
BatIste is softer material than
wolfe and gives good service. II is not
expected to last as long, and the
finer lingerie laces, val, cluny and fllet
are used with II. II is beautiful

Our relations with France have gen.
orally been of such a friendly nature
from the founding of the nation until
the present day that most people have
forgotten that we were ever at war
with her. But we were, from the
spring of 1898 to September, 1900.
James Monroe was minister TO
France in 1896 when the Directory
which had succeeded 20 the Terror of
Robespierre" informed him that the
treaty of 1878 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 ITS
had already been brought to nothing
by the constant capture of American
ships by French men of war. France,
nnder the Terror, had regarded the
rest of the world In the same light as
the Russian bolshevists do now. Amer
lean 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 Plnckney and
ordered him out Of the country. PresI-
dent Adams called special session Of
congress and recommended the prompt
formation of a navy and the permits
sion for merchant ships to arm them
selves.
Extra ENJOYS Named.
Plnckney was in Holland. The pres
ident appointed Elbridge Gerry and
John Marshall as extra ENJOYS to Join
Pinckney, to go to Paris and negoti-
ate. On reaching Paris the commits
sioners found that Talleyrand was min
lister of foreign affairs. Talleyrand
sent go-betweens TO the commissioners
telling them that before the Directory
would negotiate they must pay n bribe
of $25O,OOO. The bribe was to be d.
vided among all the directors except
one who, II was explained, was already
making enough money by his rake-oh
on the condemnation Of American
ships. And there was another little
matter; the United States must make
loan to the French government OF
S2,SOO,O0O. These matters being agreed
TO the American claims for damages
would be submitted to arbitration pro-
vided America would advance money
to pay any damages assessed against
the Directory government of France.

DETAILS GIVEN OF WORK DURING WAR
 OF MYSTERY SHIPS

LONDON, Jan. 2.-One of the most exciting chapters of the war against German U-boats is a series of ac counts of notable engagements be tween British decoy ships and the submarines, made public by the Brit ish Admiralty. While the whole story of the part played by these de coy vessels, mystery ships" or % craft has not been revealed, it is evident that several of them were used to lure the undersea craft tc their destruction.
 In their character of lazy coliers or slow cargo craft they presented to the submarine commander an in viting object of attack but once he was we'll within range of the Brit ish guns, the false superstructure hiding the guns fell away and the helpless collier became suddenly transformed into fighting csaft bent on destruction. It was dan gerous work, requiring the high or der of courage for the submarine must be lured near before the gum could safely begin their work.
 In the meantime the Hun frequent ly had sent his torpedo home and the decoy ship was disabled, some. times on fire and part of her crew wounded. In that condition the bat tie was fought and often the sub marine destroyed

NEXT WAR WILL BE 4 RACE WAR
 SAYS JAPANESE
Ozaki Frankly Admits That Japan Must Have More Room for Growing
 Population.

TOKYO, Jan. 6Belief that the next war will be the~outcome of race pre- judices is expected by Yukio Ozaki, formerly Minister of Justice, and a leading member of the Constitutional Party. Mr. OzaM said that in his opinion, the Colored races which steadily were developing their civ ilization would demand finally the same treatment as the white races, and that the result would be an armed collision.
 Mr. Ozaki recommended that at the Peace Conference, Japan acting in behalf of all the Asiatic races would introduce the racial and popu- lation questions for consideration, and if possible, secure a solution.
 In country like Japan where the population is increasing with alarm ing rapidity, he said it was but natural that the surplus population should try to obtain an outlet even by resorting to arms. From Japan's standpoint, said Mir Ozaki, the rac- ial or population questions were more important than President Wilson's Fourteen Points" as laid down for basis of Germanys surrender. These racial questions, he said, con- cerned the future of millions of souls in Asia.
 Mr Ozaki warned the Japanese act to develop the German system of State organization which in the present war had proved to be mere machine for destroying civilization and for tramplng under foot the rights of other nations and peoples.
 On the question of Japan's occupa- ton of the German South Sea Isl lnds, Mr Ozaki declared that the United States should dismantle her forts in the Philippines and Hawaii, md that this would be more import ant for Japan than the taking over If the South Sea Islands.
