JAPAN REGARDED
AS GREAT PERIL

THE New Far East" by Thomas F.
Millard, which bears the long subtitle
AN examination into the new position
of Japan and her influence upon the
solution of the Far Eastern question,
with special reference to the interests
of America and the future of the Chi
nese Empire" is a book that is partly
a republication of matter that ap-
peared in Scribner's Magazine. The
author was a special correspondent Of
that magazine and spent much time in
the Orient studying the subject of his
book and he was a personal observer
of many of the events he writes about
The volume devotes a great deal of
attention to The New China" and
has three long chapters on It, 1t tells
of the influence of general foreign
commerce and of great opportunities,
and gives a warning to the West. The
anti-foreign propaganda is explained
and the boycott on American goods
Mention is made of the unreliability
of diplomatic utterances as q basis for
sound opinion A feature of the work
is the emphatic position the author
takes that Japan is bent on a course
of selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT He thinks
that Japan's policy in China and Man
churia is inimical to the interests of
America.
Speaking of Japanese projects in
matter lies in the fact that while
American financiers have generally re-
fused to invest directly in purely AM
erican ventures in the Far East, they
lend money to Japan to invest in such
ventures in competition with America.
His summing up of the Far Eastern
question is this: What will be the
effect upon the Western world of the
introduction of modern material
progress into an element which holds,
should means to apply 1t be found, the
ultimate balance of power? .
Can America conceive future in
which it Will not be brought seriously

REMINGTON TELLS
OF THE INDIANS

The Way of an Indian is a book
written and illustrated by that noted
outdoor artist, Frederic Remington.
who has given us so many good pic
lures of the fascinating but terrible
life on the plains which has now almost
become a past era of our history. The
little volume contains fourteen of these
pictures in Remin gton's typical style,
and they are made doubly interesting z
by the word sketches of Indian life
and character with which this artist
author accompanies them. The tall,
straight. agile form of the Indians of
the plains makes an always admirable
model for the artist, and Remington
avails himself of this advantage with
his known rare ability. Very
clear-cut and statuesquely impressive
these figures of his stand out upon the
backgrounds of wide-sweeping and
lonesome looking plains and noun
tains.
That there are some artists to whom
the form of a man, strong, athletic and
well modelled, is the most beautiful
thing in all of natures works-more
beautiful even than a woman, is evi-
denced in some of the enthusiastic re-
marks made by Remington in regard
to these young male Indians whose
whole life is one long training in alert,
