Japan in Manchuria.

The Japanese have learned well
the lesson of making promises that
are not intended 10 be taken too
seriously or performed too literally.
They have been deyotiIlg some gen
erations to the study of the old
masters in this aFt-the EuropeaD
masters, it hardly need be said.
With their wonderful aptitude for
adopting the most effective devices.
in industry and in war, from other
peoples, it is small wonder that they
should have borrowed and improved
on the expedients of occidental
diplomacy.
The japanese gave assurances
about their intentions IN Manchuria.
al the opening ef the late war. that
to the Grass occidental mind GER
tainly seemed as frank and fair as
coulo be asked. They were lust
going to do a bit Of international
police work; to turn out Russia and
then restore the great province TO
China. They have turned ont Rus
STA, and done it SO effectively that
nobody is likely soon TO court a
parallel dispute with them. But
they are not turning the country
over TO China. Instead they are
systematically exploiting it, and in
some ways their methods are cIey-
erer than those of the more exper-
fenced western powers have been in
like circumstances.
Thus, the japanese during the
war flooded the country with war
notes-paper currency issued by
their commanders in purchase OF
supplies. This is not being redeem
ed but has become the chief cir-
eulating medium of the province.
from all reports. Nobody will take
1t except the Japanese. The Japan
ese merchants, evidently satisfied
OF the guarantee of their govern
ment, are satisfied 10 do business
I on this somewhat uncertain basis.
and, having thus supplied 10 their
hand a money system that gives
them monopoly of the frade, thev
are easily driving out ali competi-

They are going right ahead with
the development of mines and rail-
ways and shipping. The commerce
OF the country will soon be safely
in their hands China seems salts
fed to make no protest. fact
which is most alarming 10 trading
powers except England China and
England would seem to have under
stood in advance what was likely
to happen, and to have figured that
they could afford TO pay the price
for the expulsion of Russia.
The Japanization of China is afoot.
and gaining momentum every day.
England furnishes the capital and
incidentally gets the large privilege
OF uninterrupted continuance in
control of the immense south and
central China trade she has built
up. Japan seems to come in for
north China; and China gets peace
and immunity from further rapac-
ity of land-seeking powers. She
loses nothing. because Manchuria
was lost, anyhow.
1t may seem little tough to have
our open-door dreams thus dispelled,
but it may be doubted if any other

content with a less reward for so
great a victory as Japan's.

The SDiseoverer Of Coal Tar Refuse as

that he occupied himself there many

synopsis Of such history is to be

entail many hours Of listening and
5ourneyinS into the whole field Of mod

Directly, DR.. Perkins discovery was
not as profitable to him as was the

mer of the process now known BY
his name. Sir Henry:s own share in

after the iron industry had accepted
his process approximately at SO, o00.-

iron industry, estimated that Sir Hen
rvs discovery and the process had in
creased the wealth of the world with
in 80 years by an amount equal to the
entire cash capital of the civilized ma

earlier. Possibly DR.. Perkins fortune
did not equal that of Edison. who 10

But. whatever the sum received BY
Dr. Perkin personally as result Of
his discovery and the control Of the

reasonable bounds to say that it un-

they deserve to be true. If they are
