NM OPENING OF THE WORLD

To would not be surprising if the year
Just closed came TO be regarded as the
beginning of O. new epoch in the modern
world. acquiring a place in history like
that given to- the Reformation, the
Peace Of Wes-phalia, or the French
Revolution. Our judgment. Of course,
may be somewhat Influenced by the
tendency to magnify the near and the
familiar: but. on the other hand. it hard
lv seems possible to overesumate the
IMPORTANCE of that remarkable series
OF events that have marked the last
t.alve-mOnth.
The KEYNOTE of these occurrences is
tho opening of the world to European
civilization. In the East, Japan trl-
ru0hed over China because she had
occurred the result of Western diSci-
pine and science. Equally competent
aryers differ as TO whether Euro
rn ideas and methods have struck
..1 root IN the Japanese mind. but all
agree that her superficial assimilation
o the results of European civilization
Rs enormous. In China, on the other
rlrd the conquest has practically
opened that closed empire to Europe.
Since the end Of the Japan-China war
conflict waged not with arms. but
with diplomatic weapons. has been go
Eng on for the right to control the de-
r.rrmont of China. Tn this contest
