JAPAN PREPARING

MANNER
ENGLISH BUSINESS MAN TELL
HOW MUNITIONS ARE
BEING GATHERED
WORK DONE IN SECRET
i
Policy of Retrenchment is j
Only to Throw Bust in
Eyes of Nations.
LONDON.—'“Japan is preparing for
; war," said an Englishman prominent
lin business circles in the Far East,
| who has just returned from Japan,
to the American.
"Her preparations,” he continued.
! 'are far more thorough and on a
greater scale than those she made for
her conflict with Russia. The state*
| nient that the diet had reduced the
appropriation for armaments and had
adopted a policy of retrenchment is
merely a device to throw, dust in the
eyes of the world and blind other na
tions to just what Japan is doing.
"She is purchasing and ordering
; ships everywhere. She is securing
j coal supplies from Austria dud laying
jin arms and ammunition secret)’, and
lin quantities that can mean but • ,i”
I thing—that-is war. Submarines in
! mi m hers •'a it being shipped from Eng
land to the Far East—even the yards
•of Italy are hurrying the construc
tion of warships for the Japanese.
"The present ships of the Japan
ese navy, reinforced by those cap
tured front Russia, arc being put in
a state of thorough preparedness and
i ffiejency. Fnancial agents {ire ener
getically endeavoring to raise money
in the smaller European countries
and thus avoid the publicity that at
tends loans secured in the big finan
cial capitals, like London and Paris.
“When I say the preparations are
greater than those made before the
Russian-Japanese war, I am in a po
sition to know what I am saying. I
have excellent opportunities of secur
ing, in Japan, as much information
.is it is possible for any European to
obtain, and that Japan is bending all
Iter energies and resources to the idea
. f war with somebody I have not the
slightest doubt.
"Who she is preparing to wage war
with is a puzzling question. Some
say. America; others say China; while
another opinion, and one that finds
trong support in the Far East, is
ihat she is endeavoring to arouse the
entire Asiatic world against white
dominance and to accomplish its over
throw.
"There arc many who see in the
unrest and potential mutinous condi
tion of India the work of Japan, but
whether such is the case I am not
prepared to say.
"I have talked with many Japanese
prominent in official life, who make
no eoneealment of their disdain for
the American fleet. They have not
the slightest doubt that they could
wipe it off the seas as easily as they
did the Russian fleet. 'The only fleet
the Japanese fear is England’s, and
yet I do not think that Japan in her
conceit would be afraid to give battle
with England if occasion demanded.
The Japanese reason that England's
fear of Germany would prevent her
dispatching her entire fleet to Asiatic
' waters and leaving her own shores
unprotected.
"Japan is expecting war, she is
preparing for it, but with whom—
that is the question. When I left To
kio war was in the atmosphere.
NO EUROPEAN*WAR SAYS
GERMAN SOCIALISTS
Conditions of Socialists in
England and in Germany
are Similar.
BERLIN—There Is to ho no war bo
tween Germany and England If the Oer-
I man Socialists have their way, says
Herr Augusta Babol, tho famous Gorman
j {Socialist loader, In an upon message to
tho English people.
"It seems to mee,” he writes, "that our
friends on the other side of the Chan
| no! are needlessly excited over this war
business. We, too, In Germany have a
| grout economic crisis to moot. It Is the
most unlucky moment to think of a war;
that would Indeed be to cast out the
I devil by IWlzeMb.
"Besides, a war hoi ween Germany and
| England would lea 4 to a European war
that Is, to a. world conflagration such as
has never before taken place. The Qor-
I man Social Democratic party will do Its
} utmost to prevent such, but should It
j happen In spite of all Its efforts those
who light this fire would also have to
1 bear the consequences which await
thorn.
"The vast majority of Germans are
not thinking of war with England, and.
{ Indeed, do not do so on quite sober, sel
, fish grounds. We have nothing ga’n,
but much to lose.
i "Tiie Idea of sending a deputation of
I English Socialists to Germany would bo
; very unwl*< Hueh an net would bo
; falsely Inferpereted by our opp< nents. I #
[would look us If England were ufr; Id
jof Germany. That we would avoid. Wc
j could only say in reply what we -.’one

gresses. meetings and In newspapers and
! will say again.
I " Of the solidarity of the English nnd
I German working classes the ruler on
this side and on that side are convinced
| *t nerefor,* tnere Is no need of any fresh
erswrniice. Besides the Oortmrn 8oH»-

LONDON FIRM FURNiSHES THE
VISITORS WITH BRANDS OF
ALL KINDS
TRUNKS SOON COVERED
Woman in Rest Cure Re

LONDON. —Americans visiting Eu
rope who love to plaster their trunks
and suit cases with labels of hotels
need no longer visit the countries
where the hotels are located in order
to be supplied with the desired deco
rations.
An enterprising tourist agency has
started a small office just off the
Strand where labels of the host ho
tels in Europe are supplied for a
very moderate payment. During the
past winter this enterprising agent
has suborned dignified hotel porters
throughout the continent and obtain
ed from them a fair supply of the
official labels of their hotels. These
are carefully collected and docketed
in tho London office and one may
now readily obtain any selection.
It is now quite simple to get the
labels of tt\e best hotels in Paris,
Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Brussels,
Aix-les- Bains, Dinard, Tronville,
Carlsbad, Wiesbaden, Marienbad
(there is always a run on Marienbad
labels and they arc comparatively ex
pensive), Madrid, San Sebastian,
Tunis, Rome, Venice, Florence and
Naples.
Most of the label buyers are Amer
ican jpomen. The men are much
more shy of parading the extent of
their travels. One American woman,
who spent nineteen days in Europe,
bought thirty-two different hotel la
bels, and her Saratoga trunk was lit
erally covered with them. Another
had to spend her holiday over here
in a hospital for a rest cure, but she
returned to the States with labels
showing thpt she had stayed at St.
Moritz, Palermo, Oporto, Stockholm
and Reykjavik, and she was only
away from home five weeks.
MRS. EDDY NOT FIRST
CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
Old Man Died in Paris who
Used the Absent Treat
ment.
| PARIS—If Mrs. Eddy believes she
oirginated Christian Solqnco she Is very
much mistaken for an old wizard of 85,
who has just died in Anvcgne practiced
th doctrine more than, half a century
ago among the unsophisticated peasan
try, of that province. He did not call
j his method Christian Science, but gave
I out that he "healed in secret" and gave
"absent treatment" and Very oflon seems
to have been as good as his word. When
he called lie never touched a patient,
prescribed no medicine and advised no
change in diet or manner of living. All
lie asked was: "Have you faith In Goci?
Are you convinced that the Almighty
can cure you? "If the patient said "yes”
the healer merely urged him to "put
faith in God, who cures tho sick and
never lose courage." He then went
home to pray—and his patients were
cured. Bome of them at least said they
were and their number was large enough
to make a wizard widely known When
lie had become known nil over Anvergne
ids fame widely spread abroad and dur
ing the last fifteen years of his patients
came to him from all over Europe, chief
ly from Switzerland and Germany. Ills
death is looked upon as a public calam
ity In Anvergne, where all the pea sail
, try mourn him. The ancient. heftier
whose name was Vigner, was at any
rate sincere, and a great deal more dis
interested than the Christian .Scientists
of the United States for he never aeeept
ed any fee for Ids consultations find In
variably returned even gifts sent him by
patients whom lie had cured by faith.
EXCITEMENT OVER SNAKE
IN BERLIN RESTAURANT
BERLIN—There was a scene of terrible
excitement in one of the most famous
Berlin restaurants last night, when sud
denly an enormous snuk* from 6 to 20
feet long according to varying descrip
tions of eye witnesses, dropped Into the
centre of one of the largest tables.
1 Jidles screamed, men uttered "Don *
nerwetter*. ' and chairs were overt urned
by the flying crowds. The snake alone
remained unmoved, lying perfectly ob
livious of the commotion he had created.
Finally a waiter, bolder than the rest,
approached cautiously , others followed,
and soon it was evident that the reptile
j Was asleep.
I The snake belonged to a showman who
| bad a room In the hotel. It had escaped
| through a hole and curled Itself around
! a enandeller.
j The smoke of so many German f ig.irs
J Stupefied it, with the result that It fell.
, It was captured without being awakened
I And restored to the showman, who, hnw
i ever was ask'-d to seek a less fashion*hi*

STRIKES MATCHES
ON FAMOUS OUSTS
PARIS Who would have thought that
the "Immortal" members of tlie French
academy are Incorrigible smokers .ind
that In their anxiety to light their cigars
they do not even hesitate to desecrate
the effigies of their deceased brethren.
The marble bust of Prosper Merrlniea
was formerlj placed In the vestibule of
the Institute of France in a corner.
Academicians found the marble Merrl
mee particularly convenient for lighting
up as they went out and struck their
mutches for years on the hopeless neck
of tho author Carmen, the cigarette
girl. Merrlmee had long been streucked
an unsightly and tin* chief porter out
of respects for liini at last removed tho
bust. In Its place he put Jules Fnvre,
either because he hoped the stator-nun
would hwo the "Immortals" more or be
cause his complexion mattered less.
Anyhow the academician did not respect
111 in a whit more than the author and
the bust of Jules Fnvre now suffers from
the same streaky complaint ns did that
of Men imee ami m .111 even m-»i. ftOWH
form. It seems that Jules Fnvre*ls In
a Hpeclul kind of C’ararn marble widely
is even better than the Merrlmee mnrble
tor lighting French matches, widen, as
every American tourist knows, require
Hither violent methods of Ignition. The
chief porter has given Jules Fnvre up in
despair and the statemnn will now p« r
nmnently he left to his fate ns the match

A PLAIN SIGNOR
SUPPER* BARON
BARIS. In Run Scribe, close to the
Opera, an Italian baron and a coun
cillor of the Italian embassy lq Paris
lias been slapped In the face by a
fellow countryman, a plain signor.
The tow happened a few hours before
the new Italian ambassador to Franco
presented Ills credentials officially to
('resident Fallleres, and It has caused
a scandal In diplomatic circles.
The bone of contention is a tap
estry. The signor says that the baron
sold for him a piece of Inpestry for
some $4,500 which was worth a great
deal more and pocketed the dlffer-
The baron retorts that ho first
of all lent tho signor money, then
lo «>1)11) > him found a purchaser for
his tapestry, which was not worth
nearly as much as ho imagined, and,
far from having made money by tho
transaction he was actually out of
pocket. He refused to challenge the
signor because ho is not, of Ills rank,
lie Is leaving the embassy for an
other post tint Is slaying here for
some time during which, as he is no
longer enjoying "diplomatic lintnutii
!y," ho Invites the signor to prose
cute him If he dares.
