JAPAN PREPARING FOB 10 IN 010 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 | already and often have said to con 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»- I lists will take occasion on iMr next ns- I rembly In Ntinberg to declare their at l on iatcruatioruil relationship. A TQURiSTS SUPPUED WITH LABELS IT SHORT NOTICE LONDON FIRM FURNiSHES THE VISITORS WITH BRANDS OF ALL KINDS TRUNKS SOON COVERED Woman in Rest Cure Re turned to U. S. With Bae gage Showing Long Trip. mi ■ i ■■ ■ 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* j abode of find separate lodlnr* for his pet., TAMBOURINE REPLACES’ FAMILIAR BICYCIE BELL I'AHIK—A new terror has isndd* >1 to Gif' Hr.ft tmfrif of Pari* t.jr th* adoption of an unwelcome substitute fo r the familiar bicycle bell or norn.Tl.e newt device consists of a tamlmurtne .tit «-I»«-.| to the front fork of Urn hi ,• P .

A man named Roiluau, who recently returned from the (lull ed States, wag arrested the other night wlille opening a large pile, of letters containing money orders for $2.60 sent to rover preliminary ex penses in connection with an alluring advertisement offering $4,000 to those who would adopt a child. Another iu genous trickster announced in the provincial press that for $1.25 he would forward a package of seed po tatoes which attained enormous sU” and which he had christened the ''fa 1 Herrs” potato.

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 box of the "Immortals." LAN KEY’S Is the place to go for a nice outing.

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.
