JAPANESE DOMINATION. {By Cab]©—Prees Association—OopyrigGit.) ("Tho 'limes.") LONDON, October 11. The Shanghai correspondent of "Tho Times" declares that tho Allied Powers must intervono immediately and decisively if tljoy do not wish to so© tho Japanoso niilitarist party wholly dominate China. A series of 50 loan agreements have, been concludod in 48 months, to cnablo the Japanoso to acSuire a hold on China to an extent unrcaniod of in Europo. Unanswerable proofs of penetration havo been discovered in tho Far East. Whilo the militarists in Tokio, headed by tho formidable Prince Yainagata, oominue to sway the destinies of Japan, in defiance of Visoount Uchilda and Mr Hara, and other enlightened leaders, it is impossible to retain tho former confidence or accept Japan's professions as sincere representations of her roal policy. Tho student movement in China is liablo at any moment to get out of hand and lead to riots, and thus givo tho Japanese faction an excuse for rushing in troops. AMERICAN FEARS. (Reuter'a TelograM.) WASHINGTON, October 11. Senator Lodge, in a speech in the Senate, issued a warning that, unless a very superior navy is maintained in the Pacific, the United States may some , day take tho place of France in another great war to preserve civilisation. 1 Ho urged that notning bo left undone to increase the strength. Japan intended to exploit China and make herself a Power that would threaten the safety of tho world. Japan was steeped in Gorman ideas, and meant to exploit China and build herself until she became a Power formidable in the world. Senator Lodge declared that in Japan's promisee to return Shantung to China she never fixed a time, ana always intruded reservations regarding her economic rights.
