THE INCIDENT AT CHEMULPO Before a declaration of war between Russia and Japan, a squadron of cruisers flying the Mikado's flag, entered a friendly port and without warrant of legalized warfare, sank the two Russian cruisers, Koreitz and Variag. The incident occurred in the bay of Chemulpo, where the two Russian vessels had been stationed as part of the fleet at Port Arthur. The former were altogether unprepared for such an attack, and although they resisted valorously, were sent to the bottom of the waters. These two ships were after the close of the war raised by the Japanese government, and were the two vessels touching at San Pedro some years ago, under the names of Asoe and Soya. The battle marked the beginning of hostilities between Russia and Japan, and is referred to in contemporary literature as the Chemulpoific coast as well. To be sure, we have already on this coast a considerable fleet of war craft, but when it is compared with the gigantic navy maintained in the Atlantic waters, it seems to be altogether insignificant and incapable of meeting eventualities which might of a sudden precipitate themselves. One reason for the lack of naval strength on this coast is a disinclination on the part of the navy department to send vessels hitherward around the Horn. The Panama canal is, of course, the solution of the entire matter. When the Atlantic fleet can come through the ditch to this side in two or three weeks' time, we lean to the opinion that the cocky little Japanese will not have quite so much to say about the purpose of Californians to govern their commonwealth as best suits their purpose. The Japanese race is unassimilable with the Caucasian, we do not desire their presence here, and we are ready to deny them the privilege of land tenure. Six years ago, when this Oriental nation threatened the United States with war because of anti-Japanese legislation proposed at Sacramento, the nation humbled its pride by yielding to protestations of timid citizens that the United States was unprepared for war, and the proposed alien land law went by the board. Today we have the selfsame incident with us again. to the cable office to patches beseeching the interfere in matters ention of the California end that impending averted. In a word, said to these American the California legislature from its purpose to e alien law, they might prayers to the Almighty from the horrors of war to us they gave tacit ad this covert threat that fornia receded from which it does not intersect with Japan would immei We think it is high t good Americans to sai What the devil are t Japan, anyhow?

The former were altogether unprepared for such an attack, and although they resisted valorously, were sent to the bottom of the waters. These two ships were after the close of the war raised by the Japanese government, and were the two vessels touching at San Pedro some years ago, under the names of Asoe and Soya. The battle marked the beginning of hostilities between Russia and Japan, and is referred to in contemporary literature as the Chemulpo incident. It is this act of treachery which must now bring forcibly to the American mind that in a war with Japan this nation would be embroiled in hostilities with a nation of uncivilized savages. The United States maintains a powerful fleet on the Asiatic station, and in event of war, which we do not for the present at least expect to see, it would be entirely able to give a good account of itself in a battle with ships of the Mikado's empire. It will hardly be the purpose of Japan to meet these American vessels in open combat, even though the Japanese navy may be of superior strength. It will rather be its purpose to seek out individual ships detached from the fleet, and by overpowering numbers attempt its destruction. Of course we should very greatly regret to see such a thing brought about, and while the Japanese would pay for such treacherous act dearly, we are loath to contemplate the possibility of such a disaster to our men and ships abroad. We look for no war with Japan, but we believe it is the duty of the American nation to be represented by a stronger fleet, not only in Oriental waters, but upon the Pacific. we do not desire their presence here, and we are ready to deny them the privilege of land tenure. Six years ago, when this Oriental nation threatened the United States with war because of anti-Japanese legislation proposed at Sacramento, the nation humbled its pride by yielding to protestations of timid citizens that the United States was unprepared for war, and the proposed alien land law went by the board. Today we have the selfsame incident with us again. Sooner or later, it must be settled, and settled right, and it might just as well be settled now as at any other time. We court no trouble with any foreign power. We want no war with Japan, but it seems to us the time will shortly arrive for the United States to whip that nation and whip it severely. It will take us just about as long to do this as it took us to whip the Spaniards—just long enough to give us a chance to get at them, that is all. We do not desire the Japs here. We do not want them. They will have to get out. In this connection, what shall we say of the action of a party of intelligent American gentlemen, who were guests at Tokio the other day, as we read in the dispatches, of Count Shigenobou Okuma, who informed them in so many words, that "Christianity was the only force that remained to prevent war." Diplomacy, the courts, and commercial men are helpless, he said, to stay an inevitable conflict. These good American citizens, O shame be it said, uttered no word of protest to this insolent fulmination of this fiery little Jap, but rushed off in the Oriental horizon our power to say.

In a word, Count Okuma said to these Americans that unless the California legislature desisted from its purpose to enact an anti-alien law, they might as well begin prayers to the Almighty to save them from the horrors of war. It seems to us they gave tacit acquiescence to this covert threat that, unless California receded from its position, which it does not intend to do, war with Japan would immediately follow. We think it is high time for these good Americans to sail for home. What the devil are they doing in Japan, anyhow? Whether another Chemulpo incident shall be the lot of the United States in the present lowering clouds in the Oriental horizon, it is out of our power to say. Certain it is our Yankee sailors will give an excellent account of themselves and we have no fear that the disaster visited upon the defenseless Russian cruisers will be repeated upon the gallant Jack Tars of the United States navy. If war should come, and we hope it will not, there can be no doubt as to the ultimate outcome of the struggle.

Joseph Helmsen was at his store on Saturday afternoon, coming over from his residence to see how things were getting along, after an absence of three weeks. Joe is convalescing from his illness, and he will in the near future throw away his crutches, and get into the swim with the best of them. Ed. Launders, of Olinda, riding a powerful motorcycle, ran into a buggy in which Mrs. Winters was riding on North Los Angeles street one evening the latter part of the week. Mrs. Winters was slightly bruised, and the motorcycle was badly damaged, Mr. Launders escaping uninjured. The accident occurred due to a misunderstanding in regard to road rules.

College of Music and Miss Veda Walker of the high school faculty, held in the Fremont school auditorium. Miss Trowbridge, at the piano, made a most favorable impression, giving several selections from the classics requiring skill and musical interpretation. By the enthusiasm with which Mr. Bright, 'cellist,' was received, it is evident that the 'cello is a favorite instrument with concert-goers in Anaheim. His playing was both brilliant and full of feeling. Mr. Cogswell, baritone, rendered several songs of a high order of merit. As usual, Miss Walker proved a favorite, her impersonations are inimitable and she received enthusiastic recalls, to which she responded most graciously. The concert was given under the auspices of the choir of the M.E. church. FREE VICTROLA CONCERT Knights of Columbus hall, 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, May 2nd.
