1904 Ex-Resident of Japan Speaks to Rotary Spencer of St. Louis, vicepresident of the Globe Ticket Company and a former resident of Japan, spoke today at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of Mattoon in the Hotel U. Grant. Mr. Spencer gave a complete background of Japan's national progress from the time the country was first opened to the white race In 1542 to the present.

He pointed out how Japan had grown to hate the United States, especially for the part played by this country in helping draw up peace terms in the China-Japan war of 1894 and the Russia-Japan war in 1904. Mr. Spencer predicted that Japan will sue for peace soon after Germany falls and pointed out that acceptance of such a peace will mean defeat for the United States.
