Knowing that lie would not be able to return until late and that his wife desired him to accompany her to the home of a neighbor, where there was to be a dance, It was agreed that the woman should start alone, taking their child with her, meet her husband at a fence near a small body of woods, where h;D would relieve her of the infant and accompany her tiie rest of the way.

This is the real situation, and it is a pity that we have not strong fleets both on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to protect our interests and keep Japan from attacking us. Uerstman is married and thirty-six fears of age. District Attorney Jerome "We have laid the foundation for commercial supremacy on the Pacific ocean, and at some point in the future course of national destiny the pathway of national progress on the part of Japan and the I'nited States will converge to a point of inevitable conflict.

Calling him by name, she handed the child over without hesitation, so that there would be no impediment to her own efforts to climb "War with Japan Is inevitable unless we can convince the financiers of Europe and the people there that there Is really no cause for Japan to go to wat with us." On cross examination Mr. (ierstman declared lie meant by "any doubt" any "The- small cloud of war which is now hanging 011 the horizon of the two nations appears to relate to the dissatisfaction of Japan with the inestic policy of the state of California relating to its educational interests. The administration of the educational affairs of California has not been fortunate in meeting with the approval of the empire of Japan, but this educational policy is not the reason for disturbing the Amicable relations between the two nations.

McKce. of Plymouth, recent comj mander of the regiment, tendered his | resignation, on account of the pressure of his private business. Since then t'.ie regiment has been in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Pierce, as acting commander, and there was at first some talk of his becoming the active head of the command, but Col. Pierce himself has set the ball rolling in favor of the election of Colonel Miner to the position, and every possible effort will be made tji induce him to accept the position. A petition is now in circulation among the officers of the regiment, requesting Col. Miner to stand as a candidate and assuring him hearty support. All of the officers of the three local companies of the regiment have signed the petition. Col. Miner has had considerable experience with military affairs and is well fitted for the command of the Ninth. He has served as State inspector of rifle practice, was a member of Governor Pennypacker's staff, and during the Spanish American War he .«erve(| as commander of the Seventh Regiment, the provisional organization effected in Oils section for the purpose of taking place of the Ninth, which had enlisted in the service of the Federal government.

Knowing that lie would not be able to return until late and that his wife desired him to accompany her to the home of a neighbor, where there was to be a dance, It was agreed that the woman should start alone, taking their child with her, meet her husband at a fence near a small body of woods, where h;D would relieve her of the infant and accompany her tiie rest of the way.

This is the real situation, and it is a pity that we have not strong fleets both on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to protect our interests and keep Japan from attacking us. Uerstman is married and thirty-six fears of age. District Attorney Jerome "We have laid the foundation for commercial supremacy on the Pacific ocean, and at some point in the future course of national destiny the pathway of national progress on the part of Japan and the I'nited States will converge to a point of inevitable conflict.

On cross examination Mr. (ierstman declared lie meant by "any doubt" any "The- small cloud of war which is now hanging 011 the horizon of the two nations appears to relate to the dissatisfaction of Japan with the inestic policy of the state of California relating to its educational interests.

McKce. of Plymouth, recent comj mander of the regiment, tendered his | resignation, on account of the pressure of his private business. Since then t'.ie regiment has been in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Pierce, as acting commander, and there was at first some talk of his becoming the active head of the command, but Col. Pierce himself has set the ball rolling in favor of the election of Colonel Miner to the position, and every possible effort will be made tji induce him to accept the position. A petition is now in circulation among the officers of the regiment, requesting Col. Miner to stand as a candidate and assuring him hearty support. All of the officers of the three local companies of the regiment have signed the petition. Col. Miner has had considerable experience with military affairs and is well fitted for the command of the Ninth. He has served as State inspector of rifle practice, was a member of Governor Pennypacker's staff, and during the Spanish American War he .«erve(| as commander of the Seventh Regiment, the provisional organization effected in Oils section for the purpose of taking place of the Ninth, which had enlisted in the service of the Federal government.
