war be gan between Japan and Russia The papers have been filled daily with ac counts of naval batiles and the trans portation and mobilization of troops Tabulated statements havo appeared showing the relative strength of tho two nations the resources of each the num ber of their inhabitants and statistics of various sorts concerning the peoples and the countries But in all the vast volume that has been written we have to look far and long to find the reasons for such lavish expenditure of men and money Wo discover the answer to our question in one brief paragraph that may easily escape our attention Russia has been ono of the most ag gressive nations in the world Com paratively young in years she has rapid ly extended her boundaries until her pos sessions are more extensive than those of any other country Russia has had wars and many of them but the acces sions of territory have been made for the most part by bloodless warfare or at least by an expenditure of blood wholly incommensurate with the terri tory gained She has gone her way un checked or nearly so because she has until now annexed lands inhabited by people who are little better than barbar ians One secret of her great strength is that her possessions are inaccessable to the other powers of the world They are not scattered as are the colonies of other European countries but lie in a compact area When she reached the Pacific it was along the northern coast There were better harbors than hers to the south in Corea and Manchuria and she stretched forth her arms to grasp the prizes that she believed to be within her reach In 1891Japan went to war with China Japan coming off victorious was about to appropriate part of the losing nations territory to her own uses as was her right but the nations of Europe inter posed to prevent the despolition of China In 1900 the Boxer uprising in China gave Russia the opportunity she had long looked for She sent troops into Manchuria ostensibly to protect her in terests there When the war was over and the necessity for protection was passed she continued to occupy Man churia Not only that but she began to move upon Corea a country in which she had neither moral nor legal right to be and in which Japan did have certain commercial privileges and the right to protect them by military force The situation was one that might well be calculated to anger Japan Japan had fought for and fairly won a certain prize which the other nations did not permit her to retain yet here was one of those very nations that had helped to rob her taking by stealth what should have been and rightly was hers Japan was righteously indignant She protested against Russias action and demanded that Russia should guarantee the inde pendence and territorial integrity of Corea Russia agreed to assent to this proposal on condition that Japan should use no part of Corea for strategic pur poses and that she should preserve the full freedom of navigation of the straits of Corea To these terms Japan would not consent and the war followed Was Japan justified in assuming the attitude she has taken By every rule of international law applicable to the situation she was She had certain vested interests that were threatened with destruction She had the right to protect them Japan is small in area Her islands are densely populated She has used Corea for colonization purposes as she might do The independence of Corea was essential to Japan One man may take anothers life in self defense One nation may do whatever is necessary to preserve her national existence Public sentiment in the United States preponderates largely in favor of Japan This however is entirely aside from the right and the wrong involved We be lieve it will be to our advantage to have Japan win in the present conflict Self interest dominates conscience We can readily persuade ourselves that that which profits us is right Our trade with Japan which has only one third tho population of Russia is twice as great as our trade with the larger coun try due largely to the fact that Russia is surrounded by a high tariff wall while Japan has a low tariff schedule The argument is uspd that if Japan wins new markets will be opened for our pro ducts But in the prospect of immedi ate gains do we not lose sight of the Yellow Peril Is this not something for us to take into account in bestowing our sympathies Colds Cause Pneumonia One of the most remarkable cases of a cold deep seated on the lungs causing pneumonia is that of Mrs Gertrude E Fenner Marion Indiana who was en tirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure She says The coughing and straining so weakened me that I ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure Four bottles of this won derful remedy cured me entirely of the cough strengthening my lungs and re stored me to my normal weight health and strength Sold by LWMcConnell This spring you will need
