wltch. has been recalled after eight years' service and his place la befog filled by M. Krupensky. This, and other changes, following the visit to Toklo of the grand duke, are Interpreted by the Japanese press as indicating that Russia is about to inaugurate a period of greater activity in far eastern affairs. Co-incidentally conies the announceAnient, through unofficial " Japanese 'sources.' that negotiations for a Russo-Japanese alliance are n earing completion, and the agitation in the Japanese "press against the British . alliance grows more definite In character, and. spreads from the daily newspapers to the monthly magazines, which are ! supposed to represent the soberer section of Japanese opinion. Oppose Alliance. The way in which the Japanese press' plays up the Russian alliance and plays down the British alliance are parts of one game, and that game is the coming exploitation of China and the part Japan intends to play in it. For three months an incessant stream of articles has appeared in the press here criticising the British in general, with many disparaging references to their poor fighting qualities, and attacking the Anglo-Japanese alliance In particular as one-sided. 8ome of the British here bet over the difficulty of their ally's very unbilled feelings by putting it down to German intrigue. But the anti-British campaign in the press began long before war, and the war only interrupted it. Since Japan's pressure on China entered its present phase, a date marked by the presentation of the notorious twenty-one demands on January 18, 1915, a continuous undertone of dissatisfaction with England and the alliance has been noticeable in the press.

The drift of the discussion can f be summed up by saying that in the opinion of all the 3 writer the Anglo- Japanese alliance has become a worthless check, that England is Japan's rival in China, and the price of her friendship is too high.

DANGEROUS VARICOSE VEINS CAN BE REDUCED

If you or any relative or friend is worried because of varicose veins, or bunches, the best advice that anyone in this world can give is to get a prescription that many physicians are now prescribing. Ask your druggist for an original two-ouce bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength) and apply night and morning to the enlarged veins. Soon you will notice that they are growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are of normal size. So penetrating and powerful is Emerald Oil that it dissolves goitre and wens and causes them to disappear. It can always be secured at Leo H. Fihe's.
