War with JaDan.

Graf Won Reventlow, an officer Of the
German navy and a writer Of authOri-
~ on army and navy topics, seems TO
take 1t for granted that q great war is
to be fought between Japan and the
United States. The possession Of the
Philippine Islands, he assumes, will be
the matter Of dispute. In book just
published this writer declares that the
Philippines constitute the great dis
turblng factor In the worlds peace.
These islands, he says, will be the ap-
pie of discord in the near future.
The German writer points out that
upon the completion Of the Panama
canal these islands will be OF inestima-
ole value as trade center between the
American continent and the far east,
and they will be harmful to the com
MERGE Of both England and Japan.
According to Won Reventlow-
Nothing ls more probable than that the
rulers OF Japan see In the United States
Rf America the great danger OF their fu-
ture. though Il IL not likely that they
covet the Philippines for immediate occu-
patton. These naturally exert their In
fuenee also. for It IL a group Of islands
OF great natural wealth. They produce
what Japan needs and require no such
lengthy development as Korea and Man.

quest may be among the mass OF the
Japanese people. the government would

mikado would be united to strike for SUI

Of the Japanese.
The author deduces that In any event
the east Asiatic market would be lost
to the United States and that this coun-
try would most certainly resolve upon
and carry forward a war OF revenge.
'Money, shlpyards and technical knowl-
edge" be says. would enable the
Americans shortly to build a monster
feet far outstripplng the Japanese"
Those who opposed the retention of
the Philippines eight or nine years ago
pointed out at the time the probability
of serious international complications,
though 1t was not the general opinion
OF the 'antis" that Japan would be the
nation to take the initiative. Japan
has done things since then which have
made her factor to be reckoned with
In world politics. Whatever may be
the outcome of our Philippine occupa-
ton. 1t cannot be denied that the OBJ
servations OF this German student Of
affairs are interesting.

N Echo cot 1919.

The announcement of the death IN
London of Karl Blind co mes like an
echo out Of the past. Blind was one
of the last Of thenotable figures among
the German revolutionaries of 1S4S.
Born in 1876, he was a Heidelberg stu
dent of scarcely twenty-one when he
became an active leader In the uprising,
a comrade Of such men as Franz Slgel,
Carl Schurz, Louis Blenker, Stein
wehr, August Which and Friedrich
Hecker, all of whom became generals
In the Federal army during the civil
war and died as citizens Of this repub-
lie. Karl Blind, exiled like his famous
compatrlots, had lived n England
since about 1852.
Between 1S47 and 1S49 Blind was i'm
priaoned Ave times. He was wounded
and captured In the battle of Staufen
and was sentenced to death by court
martial. Some sort Of technlcality, 1t
is said, saved him from summary exc
eution along with the hundFeds Of 9th.
er young revolutionlsts who were lined
I'D and shot after the failure of the
movement. Blind was sentenced to
solitary confinement in chains, but was
liberated when the populace arose and
broke open bis prison.
Karl Blind remained a consistent rev
OIutIonist to the end of his life. He
was a prolific writer, largely upon po-
lltical topics, but no also wrote works
on history, biography, mythology and
literature. The old patriot took lively
interest in all movements for repre-
sentative government, no matter in
what land. His was one Of the few
voices raised in London In defense of
the northern cause during our civil
war. For this he received the thanks
Of President Lincoln. Blind also up
held the cause Of the Mexican republic
against the Macmillan usurpation, for
which President JHaTez rendered him
the thanks OF that republic, RarlleF
he supported the Hungarian patriots in
their uprising against Austria, and
later he was ON the side Of the South
African republics In their struggle to
Withstand the aggression of Great Brit
ain. One of the last articles from his
pen treated Of the German elections of
1905, Among other things he declared
that a public spirit was shown in the
canvass with which the crown prince
will have to reckon-the spirit which
marked the years before 1s4S" and
finally led TO the declaration from the
lips of William ~, Of Prussia, grand
uncle Of the kaiser. I'm those days we
tthe royalist crowd all lay fat on our
bellies"

From the lake. to the Ocean.

In many respects the Canadian prof.
ect Is superior to any American plan to
connect the ocean and the lakes by a
deep waterway. The survey of the
Georgian bay canal commission, re-
Gently completed, shows that by utIlIz-
Ing French river, Lake Niplssing and
the Ottawa river short links of canals
would enable ocean steamers to reach
Port Arthur, the terminus of the Cana,
dian Pacific on Lake Superior. Thus
the rapidly growing Canadian north
west would be In direct communication
with Europe, and Its grain and ores,
with one transfer from car to ship,
would have all Of the advantage gained
by the long water haul.
II ls probable that II the Canadian
route were within American territory
It would be seized upon and lmmedl-
ataly utilised, either by combined local
authorities or by the national govern
ment The cost of the project. esti-
mated at over $1OOOO0,OO0 gives the
Canadians doubts. There Is no lmme-
date prospect that the canal will be
dug in spite of its obvious advantages
Meanwhile the American waterways
commission will 20 over the route Of
the proposed waterway from the lakes
TO the gulf of Mexico, and with the
renewed energy recently injected into
the question Of deep waterways by
President Roosevelt 1t is possible that
the United States win be first after all
In connecting the great lakes with the
ocean.

The barbara Tin.

Shall we tip the barber2 That Ques-
ton Increases in Importance from year
to year. Time was when a man could
enter a barber shop, get shave, pay
his dime and walk out a free man
with money left for other purposes
Now, in some parts of this country al
least, he must patronlZe tOnsorial
parlor pay one dime TO the man who
shaves him as tip, pay another dime
or 10 cents to the cashier as the price
OF the shave and pay at least 8 cents
to the obseQuious youth who brushes
the dandruff from the front OF his coat
and leaves 1t ON the back. On the
average a shave costs about three
times as much today as II did ten
years ago, and this Is because America
Is aping Europe.
Tipping II a continental nuisance
La Paris 1t has been the custom for
generations for a barber shop patron
10 drop sous into a slot as he goes
out. For this tip every barber In the
shop was sxpeeted to give him his po-
utest French bow and uttered thanks
But this custom was abolished on the
LIST Of April-apprOpriately--the boss
BARRIERS having decided that such a
method Of tipping was degrading
There are many Americans who would
prefer the slot tip To the present more
axpenslys exactiOn.
