Russia backs Japan treaty dispute over Korea protectorate
Paris reports high officials believe powers will support Russia against Japan over Korea. They argue no immediate action is needed as recognition of a protectorate will arise when terms are discussed.

In Vancouver and San Francisco, Japanese communities raise war funds totaling 416000 with Vancouver contributing from workers earning 20 cents to 2 a day, as Chinese donations push the locally raised total higher.
