LONDON'. June 2>- -Gerard Fiennes,
the English naval expert, 1* trying his
best to rtiakf Americana understand
that It will probably not be long be
fore they will bare to fight Japan.
"There are a hundred Indications'' hr
aaya tn an article Just published In
the London graphic w hh h show that
a collision between Japan and the
United State* la approaching The
Americana live In a fool's paradise in
the matter.
"The Japanese are full of contempt
for American brag and bounce, for the
lack of national spirit, or even of true
nationality. They have a profound dis
belief In the war-worthiness of the
American navy and an acute realisa
tion of the fact that the strategical
situation Is overwhelmingly In their
favor. *
"It 1* objected that the Japanese are
too poor to tight. When will people
realise ths fact which all history
teaches- that It Is the poor nations
Which fight? Japan la rich enough to
afford war. because, directly or indi
rectly she will make the war pay for
Itself. Japan will fight very much for
the game reason that prompted Bismary
td light FVanre. The war will be for
the consolidation of the yellow peo
ples. The Chinese despise force but
readily yield to the fear of It Japan
has beaten the most aggressive of the
white powers So victorious over an
other She will appear to her huge
neighbor Invincible The United States
offers at once the most practicable and
the surest prey
"Europe is not going to lift a fin
ger, I Imagine when war breaks out
between the United States and Japan
Europe has a 'Monroe Doctrine' of its
Own, and It includes the determination
to let the United States stew In her own

Final Official Touch to la1 (.riven
at Special Meeting Ttics- .
dav Night.
WORK TO SOON BEGIN
Other Much Needed Improve
ment# Expect*') to Follow in
Near Future,
The final official touch necessary to
insure better lights for n better Hroad
street will be given Tuesday night,
when the approval given by council
to a 120.000 appropriation for the
work in question will be concurred In
by the board of aldermen at a spe
cial meeting called lor that purpose.
The new lighting anangemcnt com
prises six clusters, or three great
fiery globes each, to, every Hroad
street squara . between Twelfth and
Jefferson street Theree clusters will
be placed on each block. Work will
probably be started within a few
weeks, when laborers will begin digg
ing mains lor the laying of the under
ground wiring, which Is to supply the
necessary current
Following the Installation of the
new lights, it is expected that the
other improvements, long advocated
by the Itlohmona Virginian: and now
before the Committee oh Ktreets for
consideration will be put through;
with a rush.
First, Hroad street will be paved,
snd on this work the expense will be
minimized by using the present sur
face of Belgian Block* a* a founda
tion Over these an asphalt covering
will be placed, making the street so
smooth a* to do away with the rumb
ling now caused by the passage of
vehicles City Kngineer Moiling has
investigated the plan and has affixed
his approval.
New sewer mains will be laid along
the north of Broad street, giving an
excellent drainage system To im
prove even this, however. Councllnten
Bliley has suggested that In repaving
the street, the asphalt he laid so as |
to create a curvfture This will ,-arry
water or waste to the gutter, where it
will he swept Into the fewer pipes and
carried away,
All this, including the elevation of
street car tracks and settling them
grassy parks can be done. |t has been
estimated at a cost of about $r,o 000
It Is expected that half this amount I
will be appropriated by the finance
committee in order that the work
may be started without delav The
remaining $26,000 will be appro- j
prlated In next year's budget.

to reinforce the Governor's reputed
presidential aspirations, the Demo

here to-morrow
Among the delegates there seems to
be a general desire to make an Issue
of "Boss" ox, of Cincinnati, as the
dominant Influence In Republican
State politics.
Governor Harmon has been giving
close attention to the tariff plank and
other national tasues to be touched
upon In the pi nrmofaelowk.t , d-clbP

will be scanned by Democrats from
other State* In passing upon his avail
ability as presidential timber.

pected to be repudiated.
