ally. For commercial purposes rail-
roads, telegraphs, post Offices, electric
lights, etc., have been established in
India, and few million of East-In-
dians have been enabled to come in
close contact with western culture;
but India has paid woeful price for
these features of modernization and
the benefits which have accrued to
India from them are merely incidental.
Japan's political administration of
Korea and Manchuria may add these
and probably other features of civiliza-
ton; it may lead to imparting educa-
ton to Koreans and Manchurians; but
this will be incidental and for these
advantages Korea and Manchuria will
pay a most exorbitant price.
When the Anglo-Japanese treaty
was signed few years ago, the peo-
pie of India, who had expected that
the Japanese would display Asia-for-
the-Asiatics sentiments, denounced
the alliance and expressed keen disap-
pointment that an Asian nation should
join European power to keep India,
an oriental country, under subsection.
Hindostan was bitterly chagrined.
This disappointment Is becoming
acuter and changing into a feeling of
resentment since the development of
japanese plans for exploiting Korea
and Manchuria. The people of India
are fast awakening to the conscious
ness that the foreign policy of Japan
is not to merge in an Asia-for-the-
Asiatics combine, but to reserve Asia
for the Japanese.
These apprehensions of the East-In-
dians are amply justified by the senti-
ments of the japanese, crystallized in
recent frank statement by Count
Okuma, the Japanese statesman, made
before the Kobe chamber of COM
merce. He said:
"You can go everywhere with ease
and pleasure under the protection of
the Japanese fleet. Being oppressed
by the Europeans, the 3OO,OOO,00O PEG.
pie of India are looking for Japanese
protection. They have commenced to
boycott European merchandise. II,
therefore, the Japanese let the chance
slip by and do not go into India, the
Indians will be disappointed. If one
will not take gifts from heaven,
heaven may send one misfortune.
From old times, India has been a land
of treasure. Alexander the Great OBJ
tanned there treasure sufficient to
load 100 camels and Mohammedan At.
tia also obtained riches from India
Why should not the Japanese stretch
out their hands towards that country
now that the people are looking to
the japanese? The Japanese ought to
go to India, the South ocean, and other
parts Of the world"

The FIRST shock was occasioned by
the xsesses committed by Japan in
Korea To the entire continent it
was patent that Japan was not assum-
ng the suzerainty of Korea for altru-
stic purposes; the peninsula was to
be rid of the Russian and to be util-
lied by the expanding Nipponese. 1t
was expected by eastern peoples that
the Japanese would make the civiliza-
ton and development of Korea and it's
resources a mere secondary object;
very few Asiatics had expected that
they would subject the Koreans to the
militafism since forced upon them.
Japan can offer but feeble excuses for
her policy of Standardization and ex-
pansicn and for inaugurating reign
of terrorism in Korea.
Her present attitude toward China
and her administration of Manchuria
Enthusiastically indicate that the Jap
anese are determined to carry their
operations farther in the continent
If the Chinese reports are to be re-
lied upon, it is certain that the Jap
anese are making the best of their
tenure of Manchuria. By practically
monopolizing it's trade; by offering
special facilities to her own merchant
princes and captains of industry, by
transplanting the petty shopkeepers
and affording profitable employment in
railroad and government offices to the
Japanese proletariat, etc., they are
paving the way for complete domino
ton.

"he told his wife on his deathbed that
the sheath skirt, already known in the

he spoke did not have the latest i'm.

bit of level bottom land, which was
well planted with thick clumps of tall
sagebrush, there lay the wellgnawed
remains of a male deer. Close beside
the skeleton was round hole in the
earth, like a post-hole, made by the
waters of the creek, about two feet in
diameter and five feet deep. This hole
contained about two-thirds of the hair
that once had covered the deer.
AS sure as fate that yawning hole,
which lay like hidden trap under
the long grass and the dropping

the undoing of the luckless deer. IT

New York.-Mixed in with all the

seaside hotels so much. AS long as
there are beaches and bathing the i'm
portance of the feminine costume with
regard to the success of the season is
small.
But with the managers of the noun
tain resorts 1t is different. To quote
one of them:
It's all very well to talk scenery
and sanitation, the lovely views and
the good food-that used to go, but
when man can take boat or an auto
and get all these in an hour or two
from Broadway he isn't going to take
hot, dusty ride for the same result.
If We could sprinkle few of these
sheath skirts along the mountain
verandas there is no doubt that the
extremely painful sight, so familiar to
the managers at present, of an Adam
less Eden without even serpent
would pass away"

And it is not the occident alone
which is cogitating over the world
menilce of Japan. The orient also
is displaying unmistakable signs of
being fearful of the menacing position
and tactics which the island nation
has assumed of late.
Like the occident, the entire orr
ent showed unbounded admiration of
Japan's struggle with Russia. To the
orient the issues involved in the
Russo-Japan war meant more than
they did to the western world. The
Asians were enthusiastic and appre-
ciative of Japan's proving to the oc-
cideat that an Asiatic nation was cap
able of using western methods of
warfare to defeat western people;
and if possible the praise of the
orient was more lavish than that of
the occident. But, as in America and
Europe, the Asian attitude toward
the Dlikado's subjects has undergone
a great change. Asia has become
fearful of the methods Japan is en-
Toying to secure commercial mar
'lets and proclaiming it's political
uzeraarty in Asfatic countries

Are the

By ST. NIHAL SING

During and Immediately succeeding
the Russo-Japanese war the press OF
Europe and America went into costa
sizes over the prowess of the Japanese
soldier and the levelheadedness and
strategic ability of the officers who en-
gineered the task of graphing with
the Russian army and navy. Enthus-
iastic panegyrics were written re-
garding the sacrifices which the pa
tr.otic islanders had made to avert a
m enace to their national existence.
Lavish praise was bestowed on the
wonderful manner in which Japan, in
brief term of years, had modernized
aid prepared itself to whip the occi'
dental with his own weapons.
During the last few months the
tenor of comments has considerably
changed, and in many instances edi
that any fuss" ever was made about
tie achievements of Japan. The peo
pc have commenced to remark that
alter all is said and considered, the
Japanese are ordinary humans and moi
supernatural beings, and the Pacific
coast influx of Japanese immigrants
has created an extensive and inten
sile alarm, and caused thinkers and
statesmen to pause and consider thai
the Japanese aggressiveness, famed
into volcanic activity by the successes
in the Russo-Japan war, constitutes {
| menace to the world-at least to the
Pacific coast of North America.
