"Japan will not go to war with the United States In a million years." "I believe that there was an un derstanding, specific or tacit, at the time of the signing ot the Treaty ot Portsmouth, that the United States waa to keep hands off Japan, what ever Japan should do." Homer B. Hurlbert told several hundred persons more about Japan and- the Far East Saturday night, at the chautauqua ia two hours than they could- havs learned in a year's reading of contemporary journala Although the audience had come to be entertained they forgot that soon after Hurlbert prepared to strip the mask from the happenings ot the last thirty years In Korea. When he denounced the awarding of Shantung to Japan in a tew words at the close of his address he had hia audience with him. Time and again ha was interrupted by hand-clapping. Grayhalred women and their hus bands nodded their heads In a genUy deprecating way when he told ot the erection ot a red light district called Tha White House" across the street from, an American mission in Shan tung. And yet Hurlbert was not a jingo. breathing hatred against the Japan ese. Even while he told of how the nM'"" la now ruled by the Samurai, he said that a change was coming, that the new order In Japan would not bo the ruthless power which be lieved In acquisition at any cost. The speaker developed three sig nificant points: First, that Korea is under Japanese rule now because 01 an alleged understanding made by the United States with Japan at the time of the ending of the Rusao-Jsp- anese War to the effect that the Unit ed States would "keep hands off! In the Far East. Second, that Japan's military rule win be broken from within In tho next five years. Korea will be given back her independence. Third, that Japan Is not sure that she could hold the Pacific coast ot the United State for ten years. Japan will never be but that ahe can do thia, Therefore Japan will never make war with the United States. Kl wirmmle Athletes Leave Today, By UaltsC Praas HOBOKEN. N.
