NEW YORK, Aug. li.-The blac
shadow of "Pan Japanese" plans t
seize and dominate tbe Pacific is fal
Japanese junkers are exactly as dai
| gerous to world peace.
Japan is planning an Asiatic emplr
covering 7,000,000 square miles of tei
rltory, with a population ol nearly 1
000,000,000 Asiatics. Its boundarle
will include British India, Thibet, Ch
na, Siam, the Dutch colonies, many c
the South Sea Islands, Hawaii and tb
Philippines. Already the first part c
the gigantic plan Is completed.
The dream of "Mltteleuropa," dom
nated by German militarism, cause
the European war. "Asia for tb
Asiatics and Japan over All"?tbe we

man Islands In the Pacific, extendln
her claimed spheres of Influence 1
Mongolia and Manchuria, seizing Klai
Chau, organizing seized Korea an
"peacefully penetrating" the Dutch co
onle8, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
The end of the present war will fin
Japan stronger than ever In nava
military, and financial resources'. Fc
the week of June 2, the Bank of Japa
showed a balance of $402,000,000 in d<
posits, compared with $291,000,000 las
year. The foreign trado In 1913 wo
$681,0 00,0 00; for this year It Is estima
ed at $1,250,000,000.
Japan, according to her junker
wants sources of raw material, pa
ticularly wool, cotton and pig Iron. He
birth rate Is very high, the increase 1
population running between 600,00
and 700,000 annually. This gives plei
ty oi incentives to seek expansion (
territory at the expense of other ni
Hons.
Since the beginning of the Europea
war in 1914, the Pan-Japanese partlc
have been aggressively pursuing thel
policy of cynical expediency along Ge
man lines.
The national character of the Japi
nose is similar to the Prussian. Tb
Tartar blood in many of the Japanes
hinds them racially to the Prussian!
in whom there Is a predominant Ta:
tar strain, as the fierce aspect, Strang
little head, and Tartar eyes of Hindei
burg clearly show.
The Japanese lack religious ri
stralnts to serve as ethical standard'
Like the Germain, the Japanese plac
might above right. The governmer

Rre low and hours long for the worl
ert; the cost of living Is increaBin;
The governing class is dominated b
the same principles as Germany's wit
all the recent Prussian development
and modifications of those prlnclplei
Japan entered this war because c
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but ha
' taken an Insignificant part, except t
| further her own alms. In conjunctio
with Great Britain, sbo reduced th
German fortress of Kiau Chau, an
her navy, assisting the Australian nav;
patrolled the Pacific and enabled Japa
to seize and occupy several importar
groups of German islands.
"Peaceful penetration" by colonizt
tion of these islands has followed a
part of the plan. The islands lie nea
British New Guinea, the northeaster
coast of Australia, and the lmportan
Dutch colonleB in Borneo, Sumatra an
Java, tome of them strategically met
ace the Philippines.
One of the main reasons Japan 1
sending her present commission t
America is to obtain President Wi
son's assent to Japanese retention c
the South Pacific Islands she has tat
en (rom Germany.
As Australia and New Zealand wll
not consent to this, it offers a basis fo
disagreement between the Unite
States and the British empire.
Success in thii plan means eventua
effort to secure China. British Indie

the Pacific.
This In turn would mean anothe

With the Fan.Japanese empire i
fact, the United States and Australli

A glance at the map of the Pacific wll
show this.
Australia is keenly alive to the dan
gor. All the premiers of the Australia!
states, the premier of the common
wealth of Australia, and the premie:
of New Zealand h&ve stated they wil
not tolerate the retention of a slngli
South Sea Island by Japan.
The Japanese have proved them

3 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15.?
y Before this cruel war broke out Washg
ington had many fine laundries that
n the townsfolk bragged on. It still has
h, them. But Instead of bragging on them
d they are roundly cussing them out.
I- Send a bundle of clothes In, and maybe
you get them back in a month or
d two, and then again maybe you will not
1. get them back at all. The trouble is
>r that summer with its light apparel?
n everybody in Washington dresses in
a- white unless his laundry has lost his
it Phoebe Snow trousseau?and the war
s have combined to swamp tlie laundries,
t- undermine their heretofore systematic
organization, and make their owners
a, riotiousiy rich and nonchalant. The
r- laundry business was already booming
ir when Bos'n Daniels pulled ffn order
n from the clear blue sky thai every Natl
val man must wear a uniform for the
a- duration of the war. As the mercury
it was tangoing between 90 and 100 dei
grees at that time, and is still at it, it
meant just one kind of a uniform, and
n that all white duck. Within the day
is of that order 5,000 men, heretofore relr
rmrSitfi n? lust fnlkR enenend in varl*
r-1 ous business pursuits by their nelghI
bors, showed up Navy men in white
i- duck uniforms. That number has
e been added to dally ever since. Now
e a white duck uniform is good for Just
b, a day's wear, then it must go to the
r- laundry, and that's the answer to the
;e opulence and insolence of your launl
dryinan, who last winter was so palaverous
over you to get your business.
3- With every officer of the Navy stas.
tloned in Washington, sending a white
e suit to be washed and ironed every day,
it it is plain to be seen why the fortunate
s laundryman has joined the I-shouldt
worry club. The Navy men have com5.
plained about this extra expense, and
y promptly asked that an allowance be
h made them for it, but their request was
s promptly turned down. Now, every
b. one of them is praying for winter to
if come with a romp and a rush, so that
s they can get into a uniform that can
0 be worn right along every day and only
n has to be sent out to be pressed occae
slomilly. When that time comes mayd
be a peace-loving, modest little civilian
ir, person who sent the last shirt he had
u to his back to the laundry may be able
it to have it returned to him.
1 Another class of mere tradesmen in
s the Capital who are threshing a barr
vest are the merchant tailors. They
n are all making uniforms for new-born
it army and navy officers, who are as
d thick hereabouts aa ? and getting
i- thicker. The trade is working day and
night, and orders placed today cannot
s be made up and delivered short of a
o month. This is hard on the new offi1
cers, who, quite naturally, want to get
if their uniforms on ab soon as possible,
[ and hie themselves at once to a photographer
to have their pictures taken to
11 send to the good wife and the children,
r or more often to the sweetheart, dearld
est, onliest girl there ever was, left
behind at home in Squash Center, Mortl
gantown. Marietta or some other interi,
eating inland seaport And the phoo
tographcrs, whew! They are making
{ money like the Philadelphia mint and
with their prices reminding the young
r officer heroes of The Charge of the
Light Brigade. But them pictures?
i, they just have to have (hem, the sweet1
hearts, and the proud old folks sitting
; happy and worried end anxious at
home. Next year, and the years to
a come, there will be only a picture to
