"NiiN oSdpodlu VI the Ollltcu OtdteS,
it insisted that they should go to
Manila and should be sent by
Suez Canal-in other words that we
should shake our mailed fist in the
face of Japan. This, it observed with
that complimentary which has brought
on so many wars, would "be likely to
cool the ardor of the Japanese jim
goes"
Viscotnt Aoki, the Japanese Am
lassador, who had been doing adj
mirably work for the preservation of
good feeling, remarked in an inter-
view that Japan would not regard it
as an unfriendly act if the American
Government saw fit to increase her
naval representation in her territor-
ial waters on the Pacific Coast, or
even if she sent additional men-of-
war to the Asiatic station" If there
had not been so much reckless talk
this. would not have needed to be
said. Ordinarily the distribution of
our fleet would be matter with
which no other country would feel
concerned. There are many reasons
why it might seem advisable to keep
the greater part of our naval force
in the Pacific. We must keep it
somewhere, and the fact that it is
only in the Pacific that we have is
land possessions a long way from
home makes that appear natural
place for it. Formerly we should
have divided it, but that would not
be consistent with the modern ideas
of strategy. If the Panama Canal
were finished there would be no diff
ficulty, but for the next six or seven
years we shall have to make choice
between the oceans, and it is TO be
hoped that we can do so without
giving offense to any of our good
friends on either.
What is particularly to be avoided
is any appearance of exceptional mea-
sures, taken toward any particular
country. 1t may be remembered that
when Germany led debt collecting
raid upon Venezuela it was suggested
in some quarters that it might be we'll
for us to suspend our regular winter
maneuvers in the Caribbean out of
Difference to the Kaiser's susceptible
lities. But we had acquired the habit
of carrying On those maneuvres, and
Our Government could not see why
we should give them up because
some other Powers happened to be
engaged in less innocent proceedings
in the same neighborhood so our
fleet practiced its battle tactics in
the waters patrolled by the European
cruisers, and there was no collision
If fleet visits to the Pacific had be-
come hibit there would be no talk
of menace in their repetition now
A few years ago Our navy was di-
vided into five squadrons, each with
its permanent station-the North and
South Atlantic, European, Asiatic.

the development which has taken
place i'll this magazine during the
past year The fiction number of
1000 was remarkably good. The fic-
ton number of 1907 shows marked
growth in the distinctive quality of
its stories, the power and authorita-
tive value of its articles, and the gen
cral broadening and deepening of its
editorial policy. The Orchard CON
fession, which appears in its second
instalment, increases in interest, not
only as remarkable contribution
to the literature of criminology, but
human document which throws
light upon one of the most intricate
economic situations which has ever
existed in this country. Truman Bart
lett the American sculptor, contri-
butes a strikingly illuminating study
of Lincoln's physiognomy-an article
which points the way to revolution
izing of popular tradition on this
subject. The seventh article of the
Christian Science series takes up the
most interesting aspect of the whole
mesmerist movement,-th strange
conspiracy case brought by the State
of Massachusetts, against Asa G..
Eddy and Edward J. Arens. Two
important contributions to the study
of railway reform, by Carl S. Vroo-
man and Dester Marshall, complete
the list of articles.
The fiction in his number is un-
usually strong and distinctive "The
Power of the Dog" by M. Gauss, is
love story of great imaginative pow
err, written in totally new and ;ndi-
vidual style. "The Great North
Road" by Mary Watts, revives some
of the very best romantic traditions
in tale of splendid gallantry and
fnesse Maud Radford contributes
another of her sympathetic studies of
the working CLASSES. Will Adams, in
THE Knuckle-Pusher," writes with
robustness and humor of barrack-
room life. A strong story of the
Philippines, by James Hopper; re-
markable mining tale, "The Long
Shift" by Eugene Rhodes; and one OF
Lucy Pratts delicate and unique stud
les of negro childhood, Ezekiel in
Transit complete the list. An "Ev-
ening Song" by Villa Sibert Gather,
and ITO A. E. Housman," by Blanche
Allyn Bane, make up the verse in this
number.
The August McClure's is one of the
most beautifully illustrated numbers
of the year The splendid photo
graphs of Lincoln, with their illumi-
mating commentary by Mr.. Bartlett,
are one of the most interesting feat
ures. "The Great North Road has
color illustrations by Keller, while
Benda, Child, Steele, and Wright each
contribute artistic drawings.

Government does, ana gives the ia
panese American authority for find
ing offense where none is intended.
The mischievous work of these journ-
ais is a heavy part of the price we
pay for the blessings of free press.
In Japan, however, where the press
is not free, the newspaper troubl-
makers seem to have made them
selves even more obnoxious than here.
Meanwhile, it is interesting to OBJ
serve that Japan has submitted to
the Hague Conference a series of
propositions whose adoption would
make it very hard for us to transfer
a fleet from the Atlantic if we had
an enemy in the Pacific, or from the
Pacific if we had an enemy in the At
. lantic She asks the Conference to
agree that:
"First-B elligerent ships can not
use neutral ports or waters for any
military purpose.
Second-Belligeren ships cani:ot
remain in neutral ports or waters
longer than twenty-four hours, unless
putting to sea would be dangerous.
"Third-More than three belliger-
ent ships belonging to the same state
can not enter neutral port.
Fourth-B elligerent ships are
strictly forbidden to strengthen their
forces i'll any manner while in nett
trail ports or waters, or to take on
board ammunition, coal, or provi-
sions.
'Fifth-Warship not conforming
with these rules shall be disarmed and
informed for the rest of the war by
the neutral Power whose port or
ports they may have entered"
At present a whole fleet can enter
neutral harbor and there take on
coal enough to carry it to its nearest
home port Thus if we were at war
with Siam we could send our fleet
through the Straits of Magellan and
coal at Valparaiso for the voyage to
San Francisco Under the rules pro-
posed by Japan not more than three
of our ships could enter the harbor
of Valparaiso at time, and they
could not take in either coal or pro-
visions. Japan's interest in such re-
gulations is obvious. 1t has no neces-
sary connection with us, any more
than with any other Power. AS the
Pacific would be the scene of all ia
pans activities, both offensive and
defensive, in any war in which she
might be engaged, and as she has the
most powerful fleet permanently sta
toned in that ocean, the new rules
would not hamper her in the least
while they would most seriously ham
per any other naval Power that might
wish to send fleet either to attack
her or to protect its own possessions.
But while the attitude of Japan is suf-
iciently explained by these consider
atoms, without assuming that she is
aiming at any particular country, it

II ulu HOl Hledn tldC all the Dattle-
ships should be tied together on one
coast. 1t meant that all should be
seen sometimes in one quarter and
sometimes in another, that their Off
GERS should become acquainted with
all harbors and all ocean routes and
that they should learn by practical
experience to meet the exigencies of
the long, hard voyages they would
have to make in war
Unfortunately, the facts that the ships
in the Atlantic led the public to re-
gard them as permanently attached
to the Atlantic Fleet. This is the
mischievious idea of the Atlantic dis

will not be permanently attached %

United States far exceeds that pos
sessed by any other nation-an ocean
whose entire eastern and nor
thern borders, from Mexico to Kam-
chatka, except narrow strip of
British Columbia, are American ter
ritory, in which the United States
possesses the Philippines on the west
Hawaii, Guam, and Tutuila in the
middle and the Canal Zone on the
southeastern ocean crossed by an
American cable and about to be con-
nected with the Atlantic by an Ameri-
can canal.
AS far as the patriots of Tokyo are
concerned, they ought to be pacified
by the assurance that the relations
between the Governments of Japan
and of the United States were never
more cordial, and by the further
knowledge that President Roosevelt
is particular admirer of the Japan
csc. There has been no hint of fric-
ton in this country anywhere outside
the fag-belt of the Bay of San Fran
cisco, and there the original grievance
has been dispelled, on the testimony
of the San Francisco Japanese Asso-
citation itself, by the abolition of all
restrictions on the Japanese pupils
in the public schools, and the restora-
ton of all privileges enjoyed before
the fire. AS further cause of salts
faction, Mayor Schmitz has been SEN
fenced to FIVE years in State prison,
amid the rapturous pIaudits of
crowded court room. There is every
reason to believe that the nti-Japan-
csc agitation in California has re-
ceived its quietus, and nothing is ike
ly to revive it except an unreasonable
and vexatious attitude on the part of
the Japanese themselves.
