JAPAN IN DANGFR.

The war % Japan with China was 20 a
very large extent forced upon the govern
ment OF the former country. as neces-
ssry expedient TO divert the attention CT
the people from the strife OF factions
which had become a serious feature OF
politics n Japan ever since the adoption
OF constitutional FORM OF government.
with legislative body. This was an ex-
pedient no. unknown TO European pol
tiles. and il hal the desired effect OF unit
ing all factions TO the common end OF
supporting the government during TIE
continuance Of hostilities.
NOW that the war has ended aud the
treaty OF peace Is signed and ready TO go
into force. Japan is beset from two
sources. On the one hand. the reaction
lists, the radicals, as they Improperly call
themselves. were the most ardent sup
porters OF the war. They were bitterly
opposed to peace on any terms except a
large accession 10 Japanese territory and
other concessions such as would make
Japan unquestionably the foremost power
IN Asia. These same reactionists are the
fessedly willing to accept foreign meth
DDS when superior 10 their own, aim
nevertheless 10 develop their country
more on Aslatlc than on Western models.
The mild terms which Japan has i'm
posed upon China have infiamed .he MEM
hers OF this party. who consider that the
legitimate fruits of victory have been
eminent has yielded 10 foreign pressure
IN making the concessions which IL has.
This Is peculiarly Irritating TO the ma
tional pride OF the Japanese Of this party.
and there is. from all accounts. trouble
TO be looked for which may result In alb
solute rebellion, although this last is I'M
likely.
On the other hand there is the demand
from the combined European powers OF
Russia. Germany and France, that Japan
must make further concessions to China.
and relinquish ali foothold on the main
land. on penalty OF war. The concessions
made 10 China were sufficient to irritate
the war party In Japan. but not sufficient
to prevent the Sc European powers inter-
fering and compelling a release of still
more.
Japan appears 20 be between the devil
and the deep sea in this matter. and her
situation would appear to be worse than
II was before she entered upon the war
which resulted so gloriously for her. as
far as the actual fighting was concerned.
Just what the outcome may be no one
can predict. But the japanese have their
fighting clothes on: they are individually
as proud and high-spirited as any people
on earth. and If pushed too hard the Jap
anese government may throw down the
gauntlet TO the three leading military
powers OF the world and CALAMITY enter
on the unequal but not necessarily hope
less fight.
