During the war with Rus sia the sympathy of a large ma jority of the American people was outspokenly in favor of the Japanese but ever since that time they have manifested an inclina tion to take umbrage on the slightest provocation and there is beginning to be a suspicion that what has heretofore been the cockiness which comes from a brilliant success is in reality a deliberately planned campaign to provoke trouble. But it is with a nation as it is with an individ ual Whoever seeks trouble usu ally has little trouble in finding it. Uncle Sam wants peace but he has a certain amount of self respect that he must and is quite likely to maintain. Japan is neither discreet nor wise in the way it has managed its internal relations 'since the recent war but it should be under no misap prehension about the United States. This country fears no other, least of all Japan, and while it will do all it can to hon orably avoid trouble, when trou ble begins it will be found at the front Telegram. Mr. and Mrs. F. S.
