Why We Sympathize with Japan.

Count Cassini, who was until recently
Ambassador to the United States from
Russia. will carry away with him to his
new post in Spain, very bitter feeling
against American sentiment and Amer
lean Institutions. AS 4 matter Of fact,
he was never able to understand either.
He was greatly incenSeu at the SYM
pathy expressed through the America?
press for Japan in the war now waSlng
in the far East, and felt that the United
states did not show 4 proper gratitude
for the friendships exhibited by the
Russian government for the North dur
ing the Civil War. He never appre-
ciated the fact, and so therefore was
unable to make il clear TO his govern
ncn:. that American friendship for
Japan was due primarily to the very
general conviction among the people "f
this country that Russia was guilty of
a gross breach Of faith III failing to
keep her agreement with the other
from Chinese territory, as they did.
after the International expedition to the
relief Of the imprisoned legations at
Pekin. 1t was this piece of bad faith
also that lost Russia the good opinion
~ civilized people generally. for how
aver much the French or German gov
rrnme nts--'which are about the only
ones to lean towards her i'm the present
war-misht sympathiZe with her cause
the plain fact remains that the great
mass of the citizens in both of these
countries. outside of those who are
holding Russian securities. are at heart
hopeful of Japanese success in present
conflict in the far East.
The Russian cry Of yellow peril'' has
"alIsed no stampede anon. the nations
Japan has at least shown a disposition
to keep her International promises,
something that Russia has failed to do
noted for its spirit of intrigue and
troachery that has characterized her
diplomacy. There Is. nor could be, no
yellow leril'' compared with Russian
peril. japan will perform substantial
service To civilization If it drives thu
Russian forces back from Manchuria
ana prevents the encroachment of that
country upon Chinese territory.
