made up another phase of or tho the campaign Still another has been the tho device of a pledge which nearly all the merchants of ot all tho the bigger cities have havo signed These pledges are re

se mills In this district Japan cannot stand the boycott I against her goods There can cnn be no expansion of or her Industries and no prosperity on which to base economic exploitation of ot China unless she sho has hasa a largo large market ii h in China What will she do about It It t That is where apprehension is felt about tho the future for tor ono one ono thing only Is certain that hat the Japanese militarists are aro not going to give up readily their program of ot national aggrandizement as Just be because because bo- bo cause tho the boycott bocott Is choking Japan They will seek seck a SL means to stop tho boycott DR t Will Porters Po Do Dot t Certainly If it there is revolution Over ver the he boycott there will be disorders threatening Japan nationals In China and ind Japan will rush nIsh her nav navy and array army here in force Probably sh sho will como come out of or It with more moro provinces of or China prostrate und under her heels What will the powers do In that
