Lieutenant-Colo YArE has forgiven

endowed with intelligent powers of obser-
walton and animated by strong religious
convictions" This opinion is recorded by
the Englishman In the Asiatic Quarterly
Reviep.
The Ameer made many speeches in India.
He surprised the British by his enlightened
views. Here is.a sample from his address
before the professors and students OF the

that | am a sincere friend and well wisher OF West

Blu in his sisty-four days tom Of India
the Ameer showed himself as resolutely
opposed TO the introduction OF railroads
into Afghsnistan as he was when he as
oended the throne in 1901. He fully shares
the view OF his famous father. who spoke
Of his country as "a goat az which a lion on

tons between his country and the United
States with the utmost regret. No one
knows better than he to what extent the
transformation Of japan is due to i'm
pulses received from the American Gov
eminent and from American educators.
He knows that of all the Western Pow
ers concerned in the indemnity exacted
from Japan for certain grievances more
or less substantial the United States alone
insisted on returning the money received
to the Mikado's treasury. He knows
with what exceptional promptness the
United States acceded to Japan's request
for the suppression of the regime of ex-
territoriality which had consigned her to
the status of Turkey, China, Corea and
other half civilized States. Finally, he
knows to what extent his country pos
sessed the sympathy OF Americans dur
ing the recent war, and he knows how
easily such sympathy may be translated
into ~pecuniary assistance. He Is also
aware that a quarrel between Japan and
the United States would almoste Certainly
cause the former Power to lose the good
will Of Great Britain and impair the
duration and value OF the alliance which
he justly looks upon as the browning tri-
umph of his political career.
Well, then, what does the Marquis ITo
think of the proposed visit Of the Amer
lean feet to the Pacific? He says through
his Newspaper organ that personally he
would be delighted to welcome the Amer
lean feet to Japanese ports, and he be-
lieves that the same thing may be said
Of the bulk Of his countrymen. He
points out. however, that there are jim
goes in Toxic and elsewhere who gave
the Mikado's Government O good deal of
trouble about the Peace of Portsmouth.
and who OF account Of certain recent
Incidents in San Francisco might evince
the same resentment at the despatch Of
the American battleship fleet to the
Pacific that they showed on the occasion
Of the visit of Admiral Tines battleship
squadron to Nagasaki about ten years
before the outbreak Of the war with
China. He cheerfully admits that the
cases are essentially different, for he is
unable to SEQ any excuse for the exhibi-
ton Of resentment toward the Americans,
but he cannot shut his eyes, he says, to
the possibility Of our naval demonstra-
ton being misinterpreted by a section Of
the Japanese people. He recalls that the
visit Of the British fleet to the Baltic, a
visit which undoubtedly it had a right to
make, turned out to be an mex pedient
thing to do. II England really wanted to
cultivate the friendship of the German
people.
Possibly Marquis ITo would not have
offered this suggestion had he been in
formed that our battleship feet would
refrain from visiting Manila and would
go no further than u seaports on the
Pacific Coast. In any event, however,
he would evidently consider it impolitic
on our part to do anything to render it
difficult for our real friends in Japan to
control the more irritable section Of their
countrymen.

The Marquis Ito Heard From.

OF course, nobody anywhere disputes
the right of our Government TO make
such disposition Of our naval forces as
may cen to it advisable. If it chooses
TO mass all our first class battleships in
the Pacific it is at perfect liberty to do
40. Right, however, is n thing, expe-
diency is another. Whether such a move
would be likely to lessen or to increase
tension between the United States and
Japan, If any such tension should happen
TO exist, is a question which Japanese
are Is well qualified as American states
men to discuss from an international
viewpoint. Not a few Japanese diplo-
matists have already expressed opinions
on the subject, but zone of these has the
weight which attaches 10 the judgment
Of the Marquis ITO. whose newspaper
organ, the Seoul Press, is reported by
cable to have printed on July II some
significant comments on the proposed
movement Of our battleships.
We need not remind u readers that
of the survivors of the so-called Elder
Statesmen who for forty years have
shaped the course of the Mikado and
brought about the astonishing transfor-
nation Of Japan, Marquis ITo is the most
influential. Not only his more intelligent
countrymen but well informed onlook-
ers bear witness 10 his wisdom and his
foresight. Had the Cars advisers lis
tened to him in 1901 Russia would have
escaped grievous humiliation and a great
waste OF life and treasure. Having
failed to secure the acquiescence Of St.
Petersburg politicians in his views, the
Marquis proceeded to London, where he
10 credited with having taken the prin-
opal part in promoting the relations
which eliminated in the Anglo-Japanese
alliance OF August, 1905. II was also the
Marquis ITo who. in the teeth Of an
wishes Of many of the military leaders
who thought their forces in Manchuria
20 be upon the v of gaining A decisive
victory, prevailed upon the Mikado TO
order tho signing OF the Peace OF Ports
mouth, by convincing him that Japan's
pecuniary resources we're OF the very
verge Of exhaustion. Such, indeed, Is
believed TO be the difference paid 10 his
Judgment BY his imperial master that in
any EFFICIENCY the choice between peace
and war may almost be said TO rest upon
his counsel.
All that we have learned about the
Marquis ITo should tend to assure us
that both from sentiment and from
policy he would regard strained rela-

Declaration Before War.

Is it credible that the second peace
conference at The Hague should now
deliberately register its disapproval Of
those striking ideas concerning the
proper method Of beginning war which
have been attributed to the great pro-
moter and patron Of tho conference
itself, the illustrious winner Of the
Nobel peace prize?
Just before the war;" writes Mr..
RoosEvELT's former superior in the
Navy Department, e~x-Secretary LONG,
when the Spanish battle feet was on
its way here, he mfr. ROOSEVELT ap-
proved of sending a squadron to meet
it without waiting for a declaration Of
war"
There is, indeed, some evidence that
the young Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy, on a historic occasion, 80 ad-
vised President MCkINLEY's Cabinet.
President MCKINLEY remarked that we
were still at peace with Spain, and to
interfere with this fleet would be an act
of war. Mr.. ROOSEVELT replied that the
sending Of that feet here would be con-
sidered an act of war, and that we would
govern ourselves accordingly IL it were
sent" Such is the statement Of a col
league Of Mr.. LONG in the Mckinley
Cabinet.
The incident is continued in the Ian
guage Of Mr.. F. L. LEUPP, Mr.. RoosE-
vElT's friend and biographer: When
the speech was finished, decorator retired.
The President looked around with an
amused expression; three or four Of the
others laughed aloud
