All the other enlightened Asiatic
countries share this East-Indian atti
tude towards Japan. China appears
to be wide-awake in this respect.
From the manner In which the Ceies'
tials are protesting against allowing
the Japanese to smuggle arms and
provisions Of war into Manchuria at
the present time 1t Is evident that the
Dragon Empire is alive to the menac-
ing attitude Japan has assumed
toward Asia. The possibility Of
war between Japan and China perhaps
depends upon how full the Golfers OF
the Japanese exchequer are; or how
much money England and other pro-
Japanese occidental nations can loan
the mikado's government; but certain
It is that the entire orient is vibrant
with a dread Of the new Japanese
