the failure and Sully was told the cotton

be, their imbroglio has already served one
purpose, and served it well. 1t has attract
ed the attention of the entire civilized world
to the possibilities or imposSibilities of the
countries of the orient. Following compa-
ratively close upon the heels of the Japan
China war it has demonstrated that the
dowager empress and her 100000 sub
tectS are but a huge ana subtle tool IN the
hands of the progressive japanese.
The area of Japan is almost diminutive
when compared to that of other nations OF
the first rank, but of her forty-two million
people an army can be drawn capable of
causing considerable embarrassment to any
army in the world. In studying our geog-
raphies fifteen or twenty years ago we
looked upon Japan as being a small and
unimportant group Of islands, away off
somewhere the other side of India and
Arabia. We were told q little about the
government of the islands. but the subject
was passed over as being one in which the
then rising generation need have no con-
Germ. The view in those days was taken
from the front door of our nation.
Changes in Twenty Years.
The evolution of twenty years has been
wonderful. The view is now taken from
our western door, and we see Japan as a
neighbor in fact, in sentiment and in pro-
gressiveness. Instead of being far off to
the east, she is rubbing our elbow on the
west. In her we shall find a mighty ally.
of whose energy and strength we may some
day be much in need She is today stand
ing upon the threshold of her crisis conf
dent and calm in the knowledge that she is
well equipped to do battle with the great
bear of the east. She has only forty-two
million people to draw from, as compared
with one hundred and two million who are
subjects of the car, but this handicap is
more than overcome when we remember
that Japan or China Is to be the theater of
hostilities further removed from ST. Peters
burg and Moscow than New York was from
London in the days of 1915. The topog
raphy of the country Is best adapted to
the operations of small army, thoroughly
disciplined and ably unanswered Such an
army as this Japan can put in the field
within a fortnight, an army which could
