Japan Keeps Its Word.

TRULY lii is hard for the world to un-
dcrstaf the Japanese They have
been constant mystery to civilization
for generations and they have now
given the world new sensation by
evacuatinp Manchuria at the time
agreed upon. Eighteen months ago.
when the treaty was signed at Kit
terry. the Japanese agreed to complete
evacuation by April. 1907. The curious
thing is that this pledge has been re-
deemed without a suggestion Of eva
sion or DELAY. If the ancient Jove
laughed ut lovers vows the modern
one has laughed ~ promises of ma
tion - surrender. unless compelled 10.
territory once in their possession.
Russia wIs To give up Manchuria.
Twenty-Five y,ars ago England prom
isctl 10 abandon Egypt as soon as order
was restored there. Just as Russia
ana England broke their vows in these
instances many other nations have
done IN similar cases. But the little
Japs have kept their promise and
their last regiment Is now withdrawn
from the region which their comrades
watercd with their blood,
Th,ir withdrawal. il need hardly be
pointed out, was wholly voluntary
for there was nobody to compel the
action by force of arms. Nor Is IL q
be doubted that Japanese statesmen
are clever enough to have invented ex-
cuscs for delay had they cared to keer
an armv Of occupation in the captured
territory for an indefinite period
Moreover, Japan turns back into the
possession of China three provinces
which Russia had stolen. All this is
an incomprehensible pezzle in Euro
pean diplomatic circles. Here in the
United States il is not so hard to un-
derstand it, for our own government
has a way of keeping faith with other
countries. The world did not believe
We would leave Cuba, but we left it
and a little later will give il another
opportunity to run its own affairs
1t must be that the Japanese are try
ing to give the world another demon
stration that they are the Yankees Of
the Orient.
