THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8. 1508. 5 l Warns Democrats of Impending Danger in Orient. By ERNEST ELI ROESER. Special Ccrreepondent of Hearat Nows Service. DENVER, Colo., July &—Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, erstwhile hero, and now on the threshold of statesmanship, went before the Demo cratic committee on resolutions and painted a picture as he saw It The members of the committee went with him Into the future; they were fasci nated by his prophecies and when he finished they sighed Involuntarily—Ilka the audience of a theater does on ths reading of a tense drama situation. Hobson painted the picture of war. A yellow man, powerful, grinning with confidence, with blood of conquest still dripping wet. lips tljln and drawn with cruelty and eyes like burning coals with the territory greed that glowed within them, was ths allegori cal representation Hobson displayed to Democracy. The figure of war was Japan, creator justified Its place In a political convention by the fact that the next party In power, according to his visions, must cope with the ravages of this yel low giant. Gave Hobson Much Time. That the platform builders of the Democratic party attached Importance to the evil prophecies to which they listened, and that they believed the future of Democracy depended upon what action should follow the warning Hobson uttered, was evidenced by the fact that they gave to him more time for boosting bis plank, providing for coast defenses and more battleships, than was allotted to the men who pleaded for the provision In the plat form for Improvement of the rivers and harbors of the country. / Hobson told the committee on reso lutions that war Is not alone Inevitable, but It Is now Imminent. The party In power Is responsible for the present condition of the coast defenses, but that will not relieve the party Incumbent In war time from responsibility for the outcome. "The lack of preparation entails re taliation." said Captain Hobson. “It Is not unlikely that war will come before the next Democratic national conven tion Is held, and It Is more than likely that our peirty will be In power when that war comes. That war, If It finds us without preparation, will be the ground upon which the Democratic par. ty will be held In power for a hundred years.” He Warns Country. Hobaon has no use for tho yfcllow man. He said Japan had a million and a half men ready at the present time to turn Into the United States by way ‘ of the Pacific coast. Once In here, ' he thinks, we would have a merry time driving them out—In fact, he believes we could not do It. "Conquest'Is uppermost In the minds of the Japanese people," he says. “They have ships; they have men; enough money for a two years’ campaign with, out making new loans; their spies have been captured with documents upon their persons In the Philippines; they are now active In promoting Insur rection In the Philippines and In Hawaii. They believe that because the current which washes the shores of Japan also washes the Pacific coast, that part of this country Is theirs by natural Tight. There are 85,000 trained Japanese soldiers In this country paid by the emperor of Japan. Their clubs ere their barracks and the shooting gal. lerles they maintain for practice are their gymnasiums. According to the facts—and Hobson says he has the evidence to justify his every utterance—the Japanese are now In a position to give us a first-rate drubbing, and the only thing that saved us during ths California school squab ble was that we ate the dust and dined on humiliation.
