Japanese treaty of alliance has only
now become definitely known to the
English newspapers, which are keen.
ly interested in it and are anxiously
si7cuss'1g It's probable contents.
An important modification binding
either power to come to the assistance
of the other If attacked by one in
stead, as in the old treaty, by two
powers, causes inquietude in some
quarters, where 1t is thought to add
enormously to Great Britain's respons-
ibility; but on the whole complete sat
isfaction is expressed as to the scope
of the new treaty as far as 1t Is at
present known
1t is supposed that the new treaty
establishes an unqualified defensive
alliance between Great Britain and
Japan and 1t is believed not unlikely
that India is included in the sphere Of
territory over which the treaty aims
for the preservation of status quo
Should this prove the case, its value
to Great Britain will be enhanced.

these is interesting. The birds have Il
