SAYS WAR MUST COME
(Continued from First Page.)
now universally declared here to be quite
Impossible.
How determined Japan Is to face all the
eventualities can be judged from the fact
that she Is negotiating in England for the
construction of Jour battleships. The ne
gotiations are not yet closed, but the con
tract is likely to be taken up by the larg
est English firm within a week. The firm
in question informs the Associated Press
that it is satined Japan is able to carry
on a war possibly long nough to pay for
and use the vessels, which necessarily
could not be ready under two years.
The Spectator now regards. war as in
evitable. In which It merely follows up
its own significant line of argument, that
a Russo-Japanese war would be to Great
Britain's advantage, so long as .Great
Britain is onlyan onlooker and while the
struggle does not involve any other power.
The Spectator has previously pointed out,
in guarded language, that such, a war
was likely to leave both Russia and Japan
cripples, neither gaining a great advan
tage over the other, which suggests the
deduction current in official circles here
that tn this event Great Britain would be
in a better position to foster her sphere
of influence In the Far East, unmenaced
by tho fear of Japan becoming a too
paramount power In that quarter of the
globe.
Baron Hayashl said humorously tonight:
"Great Britain and America might well
raise a subscription in our behalf, for 'If
war results and we win they are bound to
benefit by it"
RUSSIA CANNOT YIELD.
Reply of Japan Contains Several Ob
Jectlonable Features.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 16. It is al
ready practically certain that Russia will
not accept Japan's last proposal as an
entirety. Russia Is ready to agree to cer
tain points, but on others the Foreign Of
fice believes, Russia cannot yield. The
officials are of the opinion that the way
Is open for continuing the negotiations,
and there Is no Indication that Russia will
seek to delay her answer which probably
will be ready In a few days.
The Czar continues to talk peace and
the Dowager Czarina, in conversation, re
marked: "War is a horrible thing. There
will be no war."
In the meantime. Viceroy Alexleff and
Baron De Rosen, as well as the Foreign
Office, are studying the Japanese docu
ment. Army and navy circles continue
pessimistic The best feature of the situa
tion Is the fact that the Japanese reply
has In no sense the character of an ulti
matum. It Is couched In pacific terms,
does not fix a time limit, and the accept
ance by Russia of certain of the propo
sitions therein marks an advance toward
a settlement.
Many rumors are afloat, including a re
port that an actual naval fight has oc
curred at Vladivostok.
Another rumor Industriously spread de
clares that the Czar, on parting with Min
ister Kurlno, on the occasion of the New
Tear's reception, speaking In French, re
marked to him: "The patience of Rus
sia Is almost exhausted." The story, how
ever, is palpably untrue, as the Czar and
M. Kurlno spoke in English throughout
their conversation.
SENTIMENT LESS BUOYANT.
Latest Reply of Japan Construed to
Increase Her Demands.
PARIS, Jan. IS. Official sentiment concerning-
the Russo-Japanese situation Is
rather less buoyant. It is explained that
while the conditions are not hopeless they
undoubtedly are discouraging. Although
no information is given as to the grounds
for the present feeling, it probably Is due
to the receipt of fuller Information re
garding the nature of Japan's latest de
mands. One of the foremost members of the dip
lomatic corps said today that a strong
feeling existed In the highest official quar
ters that Japan had gradually enlarged
her demands until those of today went
considerably beyond those first presented.
Moreover, it Is the belief of the officials
here that Japan's steady augmentation of
her demands is due largely to her belief
that Russia Is desirous of avoiding war,
and therefore It is desired to push her
demands to the furthest limits.
Thus far. only a brief synopsis of the
various demands hare been given to the
. ::: &JL Naval Dep6ts. f Japanese TELECRjipfiLiNE.!
. :::! Territory taken &y -Russia. .
public, and It Is said the exact text of the
reply is necessary ih order to show the
gradual expansion of the Japanese con
tentions. But after eummlng up a general
comparison of Japan's demands, the offi
cials are firmly convinced that there has
been a steady increase, and they regard
this as one of the most dangerous feat
ures of the situation, as Russia's desire
to avert war has encouraged Japan to
develop her claims until they are far be
yond those which Russia was at first
ready to concede. In particular Is the of
ficial Japanese demands for the integrity
of China and full recognition of Chinese
authority over Manchuria. These repre
sent a considerable and Important ad
vance over the early representations.
It is pointed out that at the outset
Japan, and particularly all the powers,
recognized Russia's special interests In
Manchuria, but the view now prevails
among the officials and diplomats here
that Japan's demands seek to minimize
and Testrict those special Interests with
in impossible limits.
Touching the reports that Japan is
ready to go to war to sustain the prin
ciple of the .open door In Manchuria and
the territorial integrity of China, the dip
lomat previously referred to said Japan
is hardly In a position to make war on
such grounds as Russia has already given
assurances on both these points. If, he
added, Russia's previous assurances were
not made in good faith, then Japan will
be brought into the position of making j
war because Russia does not keep her
promises. Moreover, it Is contended In the
highest official circles that if Japan is
not willing to accept in good faith Rus
sia's previous promises concerning Man
churia and the general principle of the
"open door," why is Japan asking for
more promises from Russia?
Finally the diplomat summed up state
and official sentiment here by saying that
Japan's proposals are considered to have
reached an extreme, which Is not likely
to receive favorable consideration from
Russia, and at the same time this does not
give Japan moral justification to resort
to war.
OTHER NATIONS CANNOT ESCAPE
Diplomat Says If War Comes, Its Re
suits Will Be Far-Reachlng.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. Cabling from St
Petersburg, the correspondent of the Her
ald quotes an unnamed prominent diplo
mat as saying:
"Iiet all those who are adding fuel to the
flro which means war remember that no
possible power can limit that war to Japan
and Russia. Its extension to other coun
tries Is sure, with results too terrible to
consider."
In the long corridor of the Foreign Office,
where officials are wont to walk about arm
In arm, there Were signs of much anima
tion after the receipt of Japan's reply.
There was much loud talk and a general
air of Ill-suppressed excitement, the same
which prevailed In many other influential
quarters. Also the general opinion ap
pears to be that matters political have
reached a highly critical point.
Russia Is undoubtedly anxious to do all
possible, but there Is a unanimous feeling
that she cannot accept any proposition
from Japan which is damaging to her
amour propre. The situation may, in fact,
be summed up as follows:
Japan Is dissatisfied with the Russian
note and returns it for amendment. Ac
cording to the declaration of a high offi
cial of the Foreign Office, when the last
Russian reply was sent to Japan, Russia
had conceded all she possibly can, and
while willing to grant small concessions to
Japan In Coria, she refuses to discuss the
question of Manchuria.
Japan Insists In pushing the Manchurian
open-door question as a sine qua non, and
also with equal insistence urges that she
should have-assurances of the Integrity of
Corea and China, to which Russia's con
sent Is impossible.
Russia will reply In a similar tone and
will lay her reasons before the powers
Justifying her attitude.
ROOSEVELT MEETS LEADERS.
Situation Is Gone Over With Secre
tary Hay and Congressman HItt.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 5. Secretary Hay
had a conference today with the Presi
dent. He was followed soon afterward by
Representative HItt. chairman of the for
eign affairs committee of the House. The
Interview between the President and Mr.
HItt was a prolonged one. Little infor
mation could be obtained either from Sec
retary Hay or from Representative HItt.
The State Department Is keeping In
close touch with the situation in the Far
East, and it is understood that the con
ference today related to this subject.
While the situation is regarded as serious,
no developments of importance are expect
ed until Russia has presented her reply to
Japan's latest note.
During the past two weeks, $3,000,000 In
gold has arrived at San Francisco from
Japan to pay for food supplies and muni
tions of war that have been obtained In
this country. More gold Is now en route
to the United States from. Japan 'to pay

COREA IS THE CENTRAL POINT
Chief Official of Manchuria Thor
oughly Discusses the Situation.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 16. Accord
ing to a dispatch from ort Arthur, Vice
roy Alexleff, addressing the troops on the
occasion of the. New Year parade, Jan
uary 14, declared that "It is the will of
the Emperor that peace shall bo pre
served In the Far East."
"The news which reached the legations
is of a thoroughly reassuring character,"
said the secretary of the Japanese Lega
tion in an Interview today, published by
the Bourse Gazette. "Neither Ruraia nor
Japan desires war," continued the secre
tary. "Japan has no interest In under
mining the International prestige of
Russia.
"The central point of the difficulty Is
Corea, on the subject of which, however.
It is quite possible that an understand
ing will be reached at no distant date.
Japan does not claim a protectorate over
Corea. She only demands the right of
free trade In Corea and Manchuria. Jap
anese trade with Manchuria could be es
tablished In such a manner as to give
Russia equivalent advantages, for any loss
of the openings of the Manchurian mar
kets. Russia's Interests could be further
safeguarded by a Russo-Japanese com
mercial treaty."
The Secretary declared the legation had
no Information on the subject of the re
port that the London and Paris Cabinets
Intended to offer their good offices, add
ing: "This course, however, seems superflu
ous at the present moment, as the state
of diplomatic negotiations makes it per
missible to hope for a favorable Issue."
TO BE TURNED OVER TO JAPAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16. The Jap-
anese liner America iiaru, wnlch ar-

days ahead of time, Is scheduled to sail
on her return trip January 24. She will
take freight and passengers only for Jap
anese ports, and when her cargo Is dis
charged she will be turned over to the
Japanese government to be used either
as a transport or as an auxiliary cruiser.
The vessel when sfte was built about
eight years ago was fitted with gun
mounts, and she could soon be converted
into- quite a formidable war vessel.
The Nippon Maru and the Hong Kong
Maru, sister ships, are now in Japanese
waters, and it Is understood here that they
will remain there, and within the next few
days be under the control of the govern
ment officials.
Among the passeneers on the America
Maru was Lieutenant-Colonel A. D. Do

N CAUSE OF MASSES
Illinois Medical Society Will
Fight Anti-Toxin Trust
CHILDREN WOULD SUFFER
Combine Is Termed Nothing More
Nor Less Than a Traffic in Human
Souls-Advance in Prices Equals
.100vPer Cent.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15. The Chicago Medi
cal Society, and the Illinois State Medi
cal Association, will. It Is expected, begin
legal proceedings against the anti-toxin
trust under the anti-trust law. Secretary
Prltchard, of the Health Department, said
today that he had information to' that ef
fect. An official statement regarding
"the death trust" In antl-toxl was Issued
today by Secretary Prltchard. Tho state
ment says In part:
"The anti-toxin trust Is nothing more
nor less than
traffic in human life.
Three concerns which manufacture and 1
practically control the anti-toxin supply
of almost the entire country, have seen fit
to advance arbitrarily the price of their
product 100 per cent.
"The department felt compelled to call
public attention to evidence that a combine
had been formed which effectively con
trolled the price of the only known rem
edy for the most dread scourge to the
child life of the country. Primarily, our
object was to call attention to the tame- ;
dlate effect this would have on the death I
rate of children In the CItj of Chicago.
The burden of Increased cost will fall
heaviest on the self-respecting, self-supporting
heads of famillesdf modest in
comes. To all such, should diphtheria in
vade their homes, and they be compelled
to pay the increased prices, the burden put
upon them by the anti-toxin trust will
indeed be grievous.
"The publicity already given has aroused
the medical profession to the highest In
dignation, and no donbt will result in
some action speedily being taken to pro
vide a supply of anti-toxin from sources
ather than that of the combine."

THE VALUE OP CHABCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the
safest and most efficient disinfectant ana
purifier in nature, but few realize its value
when taken Into the human system, for tho
same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal la a remedy that the more 70a take
of it the better: it is not a drug" at all, hut
Imply absorbs the gases and Impurities always
present in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking;
drinking or after eating onions and other odor
ous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves tho
complexion, it whitens the teeth and further
acts as a natural and eminently safe cathar
tlo. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect
In the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the
mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and the
most for the money Is In Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges; they are composed of the finest pow
dered "Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the
form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell
in a much improved condition of the general
health, better complexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood, and the beauty of It is, that no
possible harm can result from their continued
use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the bene
fits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Ab
sorbent Lozengis to all patients suffering; front
gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear th&A
complexion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: I also bolleve the liver Is greaUy bene
fited by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and.
although in some sense a patent preparation,
yet I believe I get more and better charcoal
tn Stuart' o Absorbent Lozenges than In any 02
the ordinary charcoal tablets."
