THE BARGAIN WITH JAPAN.
Baltimore American. RcD)

Japan is not going to risk her pres
tige and sacrifice her army without n
price, and heavy one. If she goes
to Pekin it will be proof positive that
the Powers have agreed to pay it.
The United States cannot become a
party TO such bargain. 1t would be
a direct violation of American tradi-
tons. But il she cannot enter into
such an agreement. what standing will
the United States have and what adj
vantage is this country likely TO de-
rive from dancing attendance upon
these Powers. There is another side to
the matter. With the exception OF the
exclusion act this country has done
nothing TO incur the displeasurc of the
Chinese. and as n matter of fact, the
latter are more friendly to the United
States than to any other foreign ma
ton. If these barbarities are all lies
and the legation is safe and is return
cd safe to this country 1t may be of
more Importance In the long run to
keep on good terms with the Chinese
than 10 side with the vultures who are
now pegging away at the vitals of the

they will surrender nothing which is

1.-THE LAST GREAT FIGHT
OF ALL"

Hudson Maxim. the inventor of the
famous gun bearing his name, takes
n gloomy view of the situation in the
East, holding that it is likely to even
tuate i'll the general war which Europe
mas so long dreaded and against
winch 1t has gone on increasing fleets
ana armies and accommodating ammuni-
ton and stores. Mr.. Maxim says:
An outbreak is at hand. The United
states War Department has already
ordered military representatives to
Pekin and Toxic to watch proceedings
General Shakorov, chief of the Russian
general stan, has started for Manchu-
ria where six forts will he immedi-
ateiy erected. Russia is Selling the
excuse offered by the Boxers against
Pekin to rush every available man on
to the disputed ground. From the foot
hold thus obtained it will be difficult
TO diSiodge her unless steps are taken
at once to block her game Japan
seems ready and anxious to do this
thing. And from the conflict thus be-
gun may arise the world-war so long
threatened and SO long feared"
Whether Mr.. Maxim is right or
wrong time alone can decide. 1t is n
fact. however. that he is not alone i'm
his pessimistic view of the situation.
Nearly every student of the recent de-
velopments in China and the East
take the same general ground. For
years diplomats In Europe have declar-
cd that the clash was bound to come
sooner or later. and they have fore
casted it to follow close upon what has
happened in China. They may all have
been wrong; Mr.. Maxim may have
been led by his occupation to take too
serious view of the situation Never
theless. he has reason and probabilities
on his side. and there is likely either
to be fight or a back down.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
TIME TO CRY HALT.
(Neyy York Heraid.)

The United States has trouble
enough of its own. Mr.. Mckinley
must not go looking for more in China.
In spite of the traditional policy of
the American Rcpublic to avoid en-
tangling foreign alliances" in spite of
the fact that the United States is not
at war with China, american soldiers
will possibly 20 with the allied eXpe-
dictionary force To Pekin, will fight
shoulder to shoulder with the troops
Russia and Japan, and will help carry
destruction and bloodshed into the
heart of q country with which the Uni
ted states is professcdly ut peace.
This is the latest development of the
imperialistic spirit that has animated
AFR. Mckinley and the Republican
rarity for the last four years, spirit
that has already brought about d war
with Spain. chronic discomfort that
only awaits an opportunity to break
ont into open rebellion in Cuba and
Puerto Rico, and n costly. un-Ameri

Nothing could show more forcibly
the extent to which the American ma
ton. under the guidance of imperial
McNinleyism. has strayed from the
true course laid down for 1t by George
Washington in his farewell address
than this proposal to send United
States troops to fight Europe's bat
ties.

has no right and ought to be ashamed
