EVANS WAR TALK.
"War can be looked for in the
near future between Japan and
Russia, for both countries are
preparing," said Rear Admiral
"Bob" Evans while in Portland
recently. "Only a few days ago
Russia borrowed $360,000,000
from France that will be largely
used in double-tracking theTrans
Siberian railway. This is shown
by Kuropatkin's own articles in
McClure's Magazine. This shows
how good the Russian credit is,
even after a c;stly war. With
the Trans-Siberian road double
tracked. Russia will be able to
Uat men and supplies into Man-
-churia on the east coast of the
-cauntry much faster than is now
i ossible. War .can be looked for
" in the near future between these
two countries."
Continuing the Admiral said
Japan is preparing for the en
counter that is certain to come
She is slowly getting money and
a navy of sufficient strength to
ope with Russia. Russia will
also have to rebuild her navy be
' f orewar can be declared, for no
-matter how many tracks are laid
-across Siberia and how many men
can be massed 6n the coast, they
cinnot ford the se. The Japafr
ese navy was strength nd ' by
nine ships captured from Russia
- in the late war, and even with
" these additions, others are being
built. V -vf ' ;'r- - :
' "So far as I am acquainted
' with the sentiment, I believe that
, the East is in favor of a Pacific
fleet and that the tw'o-fleet prop
osition is "meeting with popular
favor. To care properly for a
fleet on this coast requires large
"stations'at Bremerton and' San
Francisco and some southerly
' point, either San' Diego,Jor some
bay in that section' of the Coast
.Each should be equipped with
dry docks large enough to accom
modate the largest vessels in the
fleet. No docks now open on the
Coast are large enough except
the one now being constructed at
Bremerton. These things cannot
be granted unless the West sees
their importance and demands
t.iem.
Coast defense should also be
provided of sufficient'size to take
re of the fleet in case of injury
and repairs, a fleet being the first
line of" attack and the coast de
fense the second. However,
forts only demonstrate where an
army cannot land, while an ade
quate fleet demonstrates that
there is no landing at all.
"It is fo ly, however, for Amer
ica to talk of war with Japan.
The Japs have always been our
friends and will continue to be so
as long as we let them."
This war talk of Admiral Ev
ans is born out by the advice
which reached Victoria, B. C. by
the Oriental lines Tosa Maru, last
week, to the effect that Japan
expects another war with Russia
and is making the same careful
and systematic preparation for it
as preceded the recent war. Two
large battleships of the Dreadnot
class are now being built, one at
Kure to be namsd the Setsu and
the other at Yokahoma to be
named the Kawachi, both strong
er and wirh larger guns than the
big Aki and Satsuma. ' .
In conversation regarding the
fear entertained of the return of
war with Russia, an arrival by
the Tosa Maru said great addi
tions had been made to the fleet
of Japan. In military' affairs
preparations have been continu
ous, but the greatest secrecy had
been maintained. The army is
being increased to over 20 divis
ions, so that a force of 1.000,000
may be lpobilized when neces
sary "Prior to the last war 500,'
000 men represented the total
number in the field, including all
branches, and that number prov
ed inadequate. " ' -:" :':r
New arsenals are being estab
ished and to supply the numer
ous arsenals and depots scattered
all over Japan," the millitaVy au
thorities have constructed a cen
trai arsenal at unikusa, near
Nagoyo. ; " . .1;'; ' "
Even in Sakhalin military prep
arations are known to be under
way; despite the'secrecy. "Among
other things a military railway is
being constructed from Koroso
kovsk to Vladivimyok, the scene
of the future central administra
tion of the Japanese portion, i
not ot the whole island. ,
