FIGHTING BOB GREETS HIS OLD FRIEND, IJICHI

American and Japanese Admirals Smile Over War Talk. Los Angeles, April 27—Admiral H. E. Ijichi, commander of the Japanese training squadron now at San Pedro, had a long talk with Rear Admiral RoJley D. Evans. The two admirals, who are old friends and who are now staying at the same hotel, discussed International questions, including the possibility of war between the United States and Japan. They smiled over talk indulged in several weeks ago and agreed that war between the two nations was impossible. Evans asked how the men of the mikado’s navy had so easily raised the Russian ships sunk in battle, and Ijichi explained that the task had been found easy because the vessels had been only superficially harmed by shells and had been gent to the bottom by the opening of their sea cocks by their own sailors.
