JAPAN AS A POWER.

The recent great and almost unpar-
alleled victories of Japan over China
have brought Japan into promi-
nence that nothing else could have
done. 1t is true the war is not over
lyet, and these victories may be fol-
lowed by reverses, but even if they do
follow they will scarcely be so over
whelming as their victories.
China and Japan have been looked
upon as the typical nations of the
East and almost the antipodes of the
West. Everybody knew that Japan
had adopted many European customs
and that her people were strongly in
lclined to be a progressive people. 1t
was generally thought that her adop-
ton of European ways was more of an
limitation than an assimilation. This
war with China has proven it was an
assimilation.
Paradoxical as it seems, the modern
| test Of a nations advancement in civ
lilization is its progress in the art of war
Applying this test to China and ia
pan, the latter nation is found to be
Il.
Japan has demonstrated that she pos
sesses the fighting quality in the high
est degree, and it is this quality that
tests the stamina of a people and
their fitness to take and maintain a
first rank among the nations of the
earth. 1t is very likely that the rank
she seems to be entitled to will be ac-
corded her by the p wers The ques-
ton naturally suggests itself: What
use will Japan make of her new found
power and rank?
| To be acknowledged as a power in
Europe means to have a voice in con-
| trolling and shaping the destinies of
other nations. Eastern and European
questions are so closely connected now
adays that what affects the one gem
orally reacts upon the other Russia
lis the nation that connects the Orient
and the Occident, and she is common
ground for European and Eastern
questions. Japan, recognized as a
power, must assume the responsible
ties of power. In the East, that
breeding ground for future interna-
tlonal complications In Europe will
Japan side with the Lion or the Bear?
And when she has made her choice,
will she and her ally look upon the
great empire of China as a fit place
lover which to extend their sphere of
influence" All these questions will
arise and must be decided. Japan,
with her modern ships of war and
Highly disciplined army, and her par
government, has become a
modern of moderns. and will hence
forth rank and be ranked as one of the
powers of the earth. Will China, pro-
fitting by the lessons of the war, awake
from the lethargy of centuries, and by
undermining her eminent and her
ways, also become a power? Time
Ialone can tell.

with poor success. Soon after the BAN
quet began one after another of the fresh
men were overcome and taken out of the

seniors had contrived to insert tube

through which they injected chlorine
