IVlIt. HOBSON IS WARLIKE
Tho Chicago Journal prints a dis
patch from Topolca, Kan., giving an
Intorviow with Captain Richmond P.
Hobson. Tho Commoner reproduces
this intorviow in order that its read
ers may see to what extreme a por
son' can go whon tho "big navy idea"
gets a firm hold on him. Tho To
polca dispatch follows:
"Japan is seeking war with tho
United States at tho earliest possible
moment, and I don't blamb her.
"If I wore a Japanese statesman
I would urge war."
In these sensational words Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, tho Mer
rimac hero of Santiago, made strong
er than over to tho co-respondent
of tho Journal his opinion that war
with Japan is imminent.
Asked to amplify, Captain Hobson
declared that the Japanese are ready
for a war, ttiat tho United States is

not, and bluntly says: "It is our
own fault." Continuing, the former
naval officer said:
"Japan right low is building seven
warships to our two. They are just
completing three of the Dreadnought
battleships now.. They have great
strength in their torpedo boats, but
I believe that our gunners are good
enough marksmen to protect them
selves against these little instruments
of war.
"Japan has been preparing for
war while we "slept, and already has
40,000 able-bodied men In Hawaii
under the guise of workmen, and is
taking a like hold on tho Philippines.
In one day it could seize the Ha
waiian islands and the Philippines,
later take and hold Alaska and the
Aleutian islands and then capture the
whole Pacific slope, having us as bad
ly handicapped as was Russia. Plow
ever, I do not believe they could hold
their footing on our mainland.
"It is our own fault if we are
caught, for we have been stone blind
during all these preparations. After
the war with China we were advised
to,, get three warships of the Dread
nought class, but congress postponed
it two years on account of the ex
pense. Land military preparations
in Japan are as well advanced as
naval.
"Japan has perfected an army or
ganization on a' scale never before
dreamed of. Not only the able
bodied men are soldiers, but -all from
the school boysN to the aged, are
trained.
"Japan is also arming the mighty
hosts of China. There are 70,000
Chinese youths studying military tac
tics in Japan, while China is swarm
ing with Japanese officers, training
and organizing the Chinese youths
into military bodies.
"Eight years ago some of the naval
men began agitating a naval base in
the Philippines and "one at Pearl har
bor in Hawaii, but as yet not a shovel
has been turned. We need three
fleets and have one.
"What the United States should do
is to begin at once the building of a
new fleet, and until that is ready
we have got to grovel and eat dirt
and be diplomatic to Japan and Eng
land. The great danger that con
fronts us now is the alliance between
these two countries, which puts the
United States between two prbbable
enemies. If the navy is removed to
the Pacific the Atlantic coast is left
exposed to England, and if it is not
moved the Pacific coast is menaced
by Japan. The navy is not large
enough to divide into two fleets, and
so there you are.
"If Japan is going to strike it
would be wise from her standpoint
for her to do so before we complete
the Panama canal, which would en
able the fleet to go from the At
lantic to the Pacific much more
readily."

Farmers rarely think of taking a
vacation, but why should they not
do so? They get worked down and
