War Most Improbable.
""While I would utter no word of

Improbable, but preposterous at least
under present conditions, or under any

I would. ' however, dwell uton the
adoption of the policy of peace as the
one toward which Japan is naturally
disposed, rather than to treat it as the
outcome of her necessities. The Im
pression la very strong that Japan Is a
warlike nation, which is quite true 1st
the sense that she is able to fight when
necessary to maintain her Integrity, but
not in the aense that she considers war
pastime, witness her patient and
pacific efforts to accomplish the per
formance of the conditions of existing
treaties before making war on Russia,
the success of which would have meant
peace, and peace with honor.
We all know that, at the close of
the war with China she was, in the
hour nt her trlnmnh. rnhhf1 of the fruits
of her victory and compelled to see
southern Manchuria turned over to Rus
sia, already in practical control of the
northern part of that province which
adjoins her vast territory that stretches
from the Ural mountains to the Pacific
ocean. With Korea thus encircled by
Russian Influence, its conquest was a
foregone conclusion, and ' Korea has
been likened to a dagger pointed at the

the. fascinating title of "The Elder

country's peril, and at once silently
even secretly and patiently, with dog

knowing well, from the history of her
powerful enemy, from her progress to
ward the rising sun, her passionate
longing for egress Into warm waters
through the Dardanelles, the Persian
gulf, and finally through, the Yellow

would fall to avert a struggle, the re-

PARK KEEPER

Park Keeper Mische, In his monthly
report to the park board this morning,
aid vises the adoption by the board of a
policy refusing to become a party to any
dedications of park land or rights of
way therein hereafter without having
previously fixed upon a plan of park
improvements.
This advice was given as the result
of an Investigation into the rights of
D. E. Keasey, who proved that he is en
titled to -the use of a roadway through
Governor's park. Such roadways, Mr.
Mische says, seriously Interfere with the
plans of the park management and If
they are allowed by law hereafter will
prove a misfortune. He asks that the
city attorney be requested to find out
wnat are tne rignts or inaiviauals In
Macleay and Governor's parks and
make a report on his finding at Its next
meeting.
This Is necessary so that the nark
keeper will know what he ha authority
to do with regard to fencing off these
roadways. He reports that soma of
these so fenced off have been reopened
Dy tne inaiviauais wno used tnem. I
The park keeper states that th i
board a jurisdiction over the street shade
trees In the city Is farcical unless the
city shall be empowered to maintain the
wen oeing or tne trees.
A nomenclature committee la renm
mended In the report and If this sug
gestion is adopted Mr. Mische thinks the
names of Alblna Homestead, City and
other parks should be changed for more
eupnonious designations.
