Japan and Russia Near War

OWING to Russia’s determined attitude in regard to Manchuria, relations between that country and Japan have become very much strained. A despatch from the Orient states that feeling in Japan is high, and that the majority of the Japanese are eager for war unless Russia comes forward with some proposition acceptable to Japan. One Japanese diplomat is quoted as saying, “Unless Russia makes some material concession to Japan, and that at once, I am afraid it will be impossible to avoid war.”
