On the boom or bum?" The reply was: ' Xelther. 1 hope." That Fruitdale Is not on the bum by any means Is evidenced by the steady growth, prosperous nnnenr. nice and good times around the i neighborhood. A boom would be a boomerang In the long run. To prom ise great yields before the residents' got water or easy ncci ss to town and j befure the rondj are fixed south of the bridge wo ilJ be getting the enrt before the horse and would surely result In a backing down nnd a lot of disappointed Investors.

RIVER COURIER AMERICAN OCCUPANCY . IS DEEMED A MENACE BERLIN, Mar. 15. Count Ernest Von Reventlow, the most noted stra tegist and military genius in Ger many, declared today that the Ameri can m-c.pancy of the Philippines is an intolerable menace to Japan. Su premacy in the waters of the far east Is necessary to the life of Japan and, realizing this, her statesmen e planning to strike soon. The coui.t furnishes the United Press to- dav with advance proofs of his carefully prepared essay on the Jap- ane.se-Anierlcan relations. "It is not denied even by the skep tical that Japan is preparing for an aggresbive war with the I'nited States. The main object of the uus sian war was not the annexation of territory, but to prevent the perman ent occupation of Kore by Ruwa. America Is Japan's rival. The Jap anese plan the seizure of the Philip pines, Hawaii, the United Statec pos sessions in Samoa and the island of Guam. Thus Japan would create a permanent and unalterable position for herself. "There can be no doubt but that Japan Is now In a position to seize these islands, as they are practically unfortified against a great power like Japan. "The sudden seizure of these Is lands is neither impossible nor im probable. It must be remembered that the time is' rapidly approaching when Japan will be compelled to fight for commercial and political life. 'That American officials realize this Is shown by their feverish haste to fortify the Panama canal. A sig nificant sidelight on Japan's attitude towards the use of the Philippines a3 a naval base Is shown by her con strurtion of huge dry docks." The article criticises America's failure to properly fortify Its Pacific possessions and refers to the fact that Admiral Dewey said that Japan would soon be too powerful for America. fho count asserts that Japan was hard at work preparing for war when the American fleet was sent to the Pacific and that this produced "temporary tranquility," but that Japan is now ready to strike. In conclusion the count says: "The seizure of the American Is lands would be a defensive act on the part of Japan. It is a question of l'fe with Japan and there Is no doubt whatever but that her rulers are a!lve to this fact."
