Japanese Warns
Of Rupture With
Britain Over China
Representative Woneda
Protests Australia's Atti?
tude Toward Nippon
Finds No Common Foe
English Claims in Yangtse
Valley May Lead to
Contest
[From Ths MbBBe B'ir?an]
Washington, July 31. The founda
tioo of the Anglo-Japarese alliance is
in the course of being weukrned, aays
R ) r rntative Woneda, a member of
the Japanese House, in the "Taiyo," the
foremost political magazine in Japan.
He attt the possibility of a clash bo
twttfl Kngland and Japan over China,
protests against Australin's attitude
toward Japan, and finds the alliance
without a common enemy.
Mr. Woneda writes:
"Of nll Furopean nations the British
have the most developed ideas in re
gard to rights, and they star.d for their
ricrhts rven in the most trifling matter.
The question for the Japanese to de
cide is, To what extent are the British
claims justifiable? It must be admitted
that, as is rlaimed by the British, they
are entitled to a special position in th?
Yangtl | Valley. As early as 1627
British suhjerts were already in China.
"In 1842 Hntain compelled China to
open Shanghai to foreign trade and res
idence. In 1S1?8 an agreement was
rcached between Britain and China re
Sjardiag tho non-cession of the Yang
ItSt tt any for-ign country.
'.??..! -Rus .ian Agreemcnt
"In l*!".t the Hritish Minister on
eluded an agreement with the Russian
? r deflnifig the zones wherein the
twt etOBtrlaa could build railways
without tpaotltioa from ench other,
Brittin choosing the Yangtsze Valley
as h< r 1000. The hostilo attitude as
aoaied by tht British press in regard to
the Chiao-Japaattt negotiations in 1011
was ehicrly based on the Yangtsze Val?
ley queatioa.
"British anxiety over this question,
however, is quite unworrantcd. Wh&t
ever evtrcnie views may be expressed
by B section of Japanesa publici6ts, the
Japanese government and the bulk of
the JaaaBtae people will never act in
such a faithlosr, manner as to ignore
th, aptcial position BritAin enjoys in
the faagtstt Valley. Hut should
Britnin attempt to establish her special
Ba in tho whole of South China
by putting the widest possiblo con
?utruction on the interpretation of 'The
YaBgttSt Valley,' a clash of intere3ts
arill iaovitaUy occur between Japan
and Hr'tain.
"Cnless this question is amicably
?" i before long, it mny assume
m rious diaaoBSioBS, such as may affeet
tability of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance bemg u ???-.; by r.nti-Jap
aneaa sentiment in Lar.cashire.
Kelations With GoltOBOB,
"Another peint calling for serious
tioa is the attitude of the Hritish
ColoaitS toward Japan, and the po
I lition they aie likely to assume in
Britiah politics in tho future. The
Europota war iias brought relations
| between Japan ar.d Australia into very
J friendly connection, but there ia somu
I doubt whether ihe present cordinl ro
j latitBI will be maintained after the
j war. I'nor to tht outbrcsk of war,
; thare were fttliaga of enmuy in Aus
I tralia agaiaal Japaa, arhoai the Aus
traiiana regarded as the destroyers of
u 'v.'r.ite Australia.'
"Thi> ia B very ridiculous miseon
, bat DtvefthtltSt such mistaken
prevailed, and to some extent
still prevail in Australia to our great
regret.
Reralla V. S. Fleet Trip
"The warm reception which the peo?
ple in Australia and New Zealand ac
COrdtd tht American squadron in 19t>8,
when it called liiere on ita round-th?
Brorld cruise, may be purtly ascribed to
the fact that they regard America as
their coAperator against Japan.
"Sevaral months prior to the re
viaion of tho Anglo-Japanese allianco,
in 1911, the possibility of Japon being
a menace tt Australia after the expi
Lrttion ti the toraa of the alliance was
aaratstly discasaod, and when the re
'? riaion of the alliance was publicly an
nounceJ, in July, 'Tho Fxpress,' pub
i liahed in Australia, commenting on
! the revision, statud that tha British
i i.uthonties were actuated by n dtsirt
ra Caaada, New Zoalaad and Aui
traiia ttn years in which to complete
their respective deftaaiva programmes.
"When the Anglo-Japanese allianco
waa rtvisod. ia Itll, a protiotoa was
inserted which virtually ubsolved
BriUin from tho duty of nnsistirig
Japaa 1" the avtat of hostilities break
iag out bttWtOB Japan and America.
H is a fact, recognized by all well in
forraod ptrsoas, that in takingthis step
tha Hritish Foreign Office was greatiy
linflueneed by tha aBti-Japaatst nowa
jprovaiHag ia the Britiah colonles, es

"II aras tht Australians who advo

The Sinews of War
Western Highland and Lowland, EacKin Its Way,
Is Fattening Cattle and Filling Grain Elevators in
Preparation for the Call to Feed Nation and Army
By THEODORE M. KNAPPEN
DENVER, July 00.?A land ol ocfttraats ia the aemi-arid
West .Man cootcada with nature. Men contend with
each <>ther. and nature wrestles with herself.
Sand, grasa and soap weed, feeblc in themselves, but mighty
in their multitudes. conquer the shiiting sand dunes, convert them
into the hxed Sand Hills and turn them int.o vast ranges which
wil! lurniah feed (or grazing horse and ateer*lor all time and for
cver detv the plough.
The Sand Hills are sharply demarked. There is no twilight
7r>nc. ilere is the hopeless sand. There is the fertile BOtl which
has heen accumulating fertility since the hegitming of time.
Alongside the fantastk irregularity ol the hills is the atartling
uniformity ol the farreachtng prairie. It your train followa I
prairie on a down grade you experience, a peculiar feeling o( ela
tion. Your sense of personal power expanda with the extension
ol the horizon. You feel yoursell monarch of what you aurvey
by reason of aurveying it. And as the panorama changes with
your ceaseleaa advance you feel like a conqueror advancing to new
conquests.
These are some of the impressions and experieneea thal i
to one as he journeya in the apace ol nine or ten houra from
Alliance in the north' on the edge ol the Sand Hills, to Denver in
ihe south, at the foot of the great contmental range.
On these high plaius the harvest hattle front ia overhauled
once more. It is here a line ol many salients. Alongside a green
held ol spring wheat is ? ripe held ol ".its, and in the nexi section
the harveateri may be busy with a npe tield of winter wheat
h'ields are vast and powerttil tractora many. Highland or low?
land, dry or irrigated, the advance ol agriculture ia marked. The
drv land -tarms have at; appearance ol newneaa and of assertive
defiance. The irrigated farms auggest years ol diacretion, aolid
achievement and a certain future. As the train earriea you acroaa
divide after divide and valley after valley and you observe the
subjugation ol nature on plateau and in valley you feel that the
West is WOH for the plough right up to the hase of the Rockies.
The conversion ol the borderland was long delayed, but it pro
ceeda with amazing rapidity. The aheep are gone. Horsea and
cattle are going. ( 'ne looka at the herds on the Btill untamed
ranges as one who says a farewell. Returning this way another
year they nfhy be gone. More bread, lesa meat Fewer horaes,
m< ure tractora.
Backed by high prices, the range now makea a atand. With
milliona ol fighting men clamoring for meat. and with hundreda
uf milliona ol civiliana competing with one another for aolid pro
trin fooda, with graaa fed stcers worth $12 a hundredweig^it in
Denver, it hegins to he a question of whether the range is not
more profitable U a meat maker than as a grain raiser.
Cattleman and horaeman have beard the call of war. It ia
Itated that there are 25 per cent more cattle on some ol the ranges
than there were last year. Drained for three years for the cavalry,
artillery and draft horses of France and Britain, the high plains
herds have renewed themselves. Notwithstanding the 200,0
horsea that have gone tO aenre the Allies, there are plenty left for
I'ncle Sam.
"On a week'i notice," said a horaeman, "I can aaaemble 100,000
acceptable army horsea. We have aold many. but we began tour
yeara ago to apeed up breeding. The war had the same effect
.' n our business as?on the munitton plants. We have increased our
i.ipacitv."
1 hen from horsea to heets. The train dropped down into the
flatlandl ol the irrigated South Platte Valley, a valley green with
lush alfalla that aimost sacred crop of the Middle and Far W est
_augar beeta and beans. In a minute you pass from the big to
the fittle, from the extensive to the intensive l'p there ahove
the high'lme ditches tractora work the land in giant measure.
Down here patient laborera weed the heets by hand. Up there
one ateer stood for ten acres. Down here alfalla, the bountiful,
maintaina a cow or ten hoga to the acre and providea the winter
feed for the steer. l'p there the 1.000-acre farm and the 10,000
SCTC range. Down here the forty-acre farm and the acre garden.
!'p there the atark house and harn. elevated hy the ahimmering
mirage to awaying columna. Down here the majestic cottonwood,
ahady bowers, green lawus. Up there dry water coursea with
sun baked banks. Down here bankfal ditches and water gurgling
down the field furrows.
But- each according to its kind?highland and lowland, dry
farm and irrigated farm are at work?at work, one feels, with
the promise ol victory to he won in the shadow of the Great Divide
as much as on the Khine.
Stockholders Sue

Court yesterday U compel the Inter?
national Paper Company to pay to
stockholders long deferred divider.ds.
The plaintiffs are holders of common
stock. ,, .L .
Turnbloom and Holmes allege that
the individual defendants- directors
and officers of the company-are re
?poaaiblo for the "oppressi"e, arbi
trary Hnd illegal manner" in which the
affaira of the company have been con

of directors elected to represent the
sharehold-rs.

dividends on the preferred stock and
thct in 1611 the arrearago amounUd
to 334 Per rent on the total value of
the preferred stock of 17,606444.
Turnbloom and Holmes say that at
the annual stockholderV meeting in
April last two resolutions were intro
duced providing for the payment of
the deferred dlvidoaaa, but that one
was tabled and the other was rejeeted
through the influence of a member rt
the Stock Fxcrange.
