War betweon the Unltod States
1:4 Japan is Inevitable. I do not
:flfno one knows when It will
mt, but It cannot bo averted. In
j opinion It will not bo long do-
jri.
"Of course, tho United States
ld win after a time, but It would
the greatest struggle this country
w had. You see, America cannot
sepire for war. The minute prora
tions were begun, that mlnuto
i ' ii
thoro would bo wnr. Japan would
not wait. If Japan should land an
army of 80,000 or 100,000 trained
soldiers, votorans of the Russian
war, In California, It would tnko tho
Unltod States perhaps flvo yoars to
drive thorn out. They would fortify
thomsolvos so that It would cost
thousands of lives to overcome
them."

tor of the Northwest passage, today
announced that ho would head an ox-
partition which will In 1910 try for

, bo attached to the expedition by the
j Americans from tho faot that Captain
Amundson will make his start on tho
perilous trip from San Francisco, and
will then proceed through the Dehor-
ing straits.
I "Yes, I shall make an attempt to
'reach tho north polo In a trip which
I Bhal undertake In 1910," said Cap
tain Amundsen. "I shall start on
my trip from San Franolsco, and
will go through theBehring straits.
Tho nature of tho trip will be tho
same as Nansen's, in that we will use
ships and dogs. I will probably re
ceive some aid from private partloa,
and, together with my own funds, I
do not expeot to have any trouble
financially."
t "What do I think of the proposed
Wellman expedition?"
"I do not think there is one chance
In a thousand of his reaching the,
polo by tho balloon route. The at
mospheric conditions in thai region
are such as to make such an expedi
tion almost impossible "
