IF WAR SHOULD COME.
The theatre <>f«a war between
America and Japan would be the
Pacific ocean, divisible into six
ispherels of combat. The Philip
pines, Hawaii, Alaska, Washing
ton, Oregon and California.
The disinclination of this re
public to render adequate mili
lary and naval protection to its
possessions in the Pacific gives
to Japan not only temporary com
mand of the entire ocean, but
time enough for the temporary
character of its control to pass
into permanency. Unless the Un
ited Stales establishes sufficient
naval bases in ils four quarters
of the Pacific, making them mili
tary secure against land attack,
and maintains in the Pacific
fleets as much superior to the
entire navy of Japan as adverse
strategic conditions demand, the
United Stales will lose in the be
ginning what she will never be
able to retain during the con
tinuation of the war—the entire
American littoral on the Pacific.
Under I ho present military sys
tem the republic could not mob
ilize in any one place a field army
of nineteen • thousand regular
soldidrs in the same period of
time that Japan could assemble,
ready to take the field, hall a
million veteran troops. For the
United Stales to enlist,, equip and
to train to the same degree of
efficiency a similar force would
require not less than three years.
If Japan were wunoui sea
transports equal to her armies,
(tie Pacitic coast ami Ihe Amer
ican provinces in the Pacitic
would he heyoml I hi' sphere of
Japanese enterprise. On the oth
er hand, if Ihe United Stales pos
sessed a standing army of I wo
million men. lull, no other means
of military Iransporlalion than
exis| at the present time, this
republic could nol conduct a sin
gle campaign beyond Ihe fron
tiers of the Union.
Unfortunately, Ihe United
Stales does nol possess a Held
army of even liffy thousand men,
while Japan has such complete
means of oceanic transportation
that she can move her vast armies
to any portion of the Pacitic with
greater ease Ilian Napoleon mov
ed similar armies from Paris
across Ihe river Kibe or beyond
the Danube, or (Irani across the
(heal re of war during Ihe Ameri
can. civil war.
This republic is without means
of military I ransporl al ion. In the
Spanish-Ameriean war two
months elapsed before transports
could he gotten together sulli
cient lo embark a single army
corps, though Havana lies only
three days distant from I In* main
center of American commerce. In
the Russian war Japanese armies
had landed and were marching on
the Asian coni incut eight days
after the declaration of war.
The Japanese government pos
sesses sufficient transportation
facilities to carry in a single voy
age, if necessary, more than -(),
000 troops.—Rx.

WHY NOT INVEST YOUR MONEY
IN
AUBURN REAL ESTATE
The city of AUBURN is situated half-way be
tween the two great commercial centers, Seattle
and Tacoma, on the new Interurban Railroad,
360 acres of fine, level land three-fourths of a
mile west of Auburn has just been platted into
five-acre tracts and placed on the market. The
soil is rich and is suitable for raising any crop.
The great million-dollar freight terminal which
the Northern Pacific Railroad is constructing at
Auburn will make Auburn a most important rail
road center, busy and prosperous, and give em
ployment to thousands of people. Its monthly
payroll of thusands of dollars will make garden
products necessary to supply its wants.
The price of these tracts is $500.00 to S700.00.
A small payment down and balance on terms to
suit.
Let us select the best unsold tract for you and if
you are not suited, you may exchange for any un
sold tract of equal value.

their boys are motor or censory

is that at a particular time the
hoy begins to think and act for

business of the father to acquaint
himself will) these facts, that lie

THE ARMY.
The Americans are a shrewd,
wise people, usually gifted with
foresight, hut they have not
shown it in their attitude to
ward the army and navy policy.
Congress continues to be reluct
ant to maintain an adequate
army. It’s easy to get money for
a militia, for a militia has voles
and friends, but a regular army
is far different. There is a say
ing that tin* Cord looks after
children and drunken men. This
cetrlainly ought to lie extended to
(lie 1’nil.ed Stales. Of course
our separation from, foreign
countries by oceans is cause lor
not assuming too heavy a bur
den. hut we are very, very much
nearer Kurope and Asia—many,
many times nearer—than we were
in Washington’s lime. Occasion
ally we get a jar and notice our
position, hut luck has been with
us in the past, and we cannot
assume that it will always con
tinue thus.—W. 11. Taft.
