The Jspsnese view Of the present petty con-
.roversy oser Japanese rights in a few of our
Far Western states is perhaps not generally
understood In America. Il may be that be
cause Of obvious circumstances general under
standing Of il has not been easy. There is
commonly supposed to be an essential difference
in temperament and operations between the
oriental and the Occidental mind which prevents
the one from readily appreciating the attitude
Of the other Despite the partially disquieting
tone Of some current dispatches from Japan,
Two or more noteworthy japanese utterances
have directly indicated and historical cOnsid-
erafions and existing circumstances unmistak-
ably suggest. what should be and what we as
sumo is the real japanese view Of q controversy
which we have called and must esteem petty
despite the somewhat portentous looming Of it
through that mirage OF oyerheated language"
with which il has been enFeloped
The two u1terances in question are one of a
leading japanese newspaper, Nevada is not
America - ana one of an authoritative japanese
statesman, that the Japanese government has
full confidence in the good faith Of the Amer
lean government. The former of these may be
regarded as an epigrzmmatic form OF saying
that q small minority Of the people of a very
small minority Of the states is not the whole
Of America while the latter is a similar declara-
tion that the japanese nation as a whole has
confidence IN the good faith and friendship OF
the American nation. Both these statements
are we believe, entirely judicious and accu-
rasely expressive Of the essential and para
mount truths OF the case.
II should be, and doubtless is recognized by
the japanese that the United States regards
wifia exceptional interest and henegolenee the
marvellous rise OF that island empire from an

FRANCO-GERMAN ACCORD.

The reported settlement of the controversy
between France and Germany over the affairs
OF Morocco is to be welcomed both for It's own
sake and for the Indication which it affords of
restored and triumphant sanity In the relation
ship Of those powers. 1t is conspicuously and
pre-eminently victory of common sense. The
long continuance of the controversy and the
threatening aspect which it now and then as
sumed or was supposed to have assumed were
a revelation of the extent to which nerves" can
affect brains, and prejudiees and suspicious can
overcome sound judgment.
There was really never any good reason for
the controversy. German interests IN Morocco
were from the outset, as now, purely CONNER
cial-it is simply unbelievable that there was
ever any serious design Of political acquisition
or control. French interests have been and
are largely political, and they obviously
paramount to the political interests there OF
any other nation. In the settlement which is,
now announced nothing fundamental has been
changed in the slightest degree. There is sim
ply recognition of facts which have existed

ecterfstjcs Of the Curtis engine there would
seem TO be little question. Apparently less
snace would be required for an engine "hch
can be reversed than for two sets Of machinery
one to go ahead and one to back water. IN
regard to the second feature there is evidently
more uncertainty. Perhaps one-cyhndel en-
gine NAV be more compact than two or three
cylinder engine developing the same power, but
that ia a point on which experts must pass
Judgment Even Il the Curtis engine were more
compact than its English rival. it might nave
compensatlng disadvantages. AT meeting OF
German naval architects in Berlin last Novem-
her the single shaft system was heartily adVo-
Gated bv the manager of one of the big snip
building firms of Stettin, and 1t was announcer
that the German government was giving IL
careful study. though for group of new battle
sbipe now under construction Parsons engines
have been adopted. Possibly England also
wants to investigate the possibilities of single
shaft.
Two other points on which marine engineers
and the designers OF warships would Ike
further light are the highest speed attatnable
by the Curtis and Parsons engines and tnelr
relative steam economy. An instructive com
parison was expected when the scout cruisers
chester and Salem had their steam trials
The two ships are identical in size and shape
and differ only in their machinery. The Chester
for which Mr.. ParsoDs's representative in this
country supplied the engine, was credited with
a speed of 1852 knots on a four hours trlai'
and the Salem, driven by q Curtis engine. with
25.a46 knots The accuracy of the first ngures
has been challenged on technical grounds. For
that reason the wish has been expressed tnat
the government would make fresh test to d1s-
peI all doubt on this point good opportu-
nifty would be afforded If that much TAXED oI'
hut repeatedly postponed, endurance trial or the
Chester. the Salem and the Birmingham-the
last mentioned cruiser being propelled by recip-
rocating engines-should ever be held IL
would be a curious turn of affairs If England
should give the world the first convincing testi-
mony on this point, as well as regarding steam
economy

from the beginning, and which have all the time
bean clear TO the rest of the world
phe trouble has been, of course, that Ter
many has imagined that political control or
paramount influence exercised by France would
mean exclusion Of German commerce, ana
France on the other hand, has imagined that
German commercial interests were merely
mask for German miltarism and poliocal
grasping Neither of those supposltlons was
true or had any foundation save in preJudice'
suspicion and nerves" For nearly forty years
those two great countries have had the habit
of looking askant at each other, and spon-
taneousiy attrfbuting to each other all sorts OF
evil designs There is no occasion TO be cen
serious toward them for it. for practically all
other nations have suffered from the same
complaint at times; even our own But IT Is
cause for international qualification that in this
very important case, TO this large and promising
extent, that af1iction has been overcome, and
the nations regard each other with sanity and

NEW TESTS or THE CURTIS TUBBJyE

NEW TESTS or TIE CURTIS TURBINE.
a high compliment has been paid to the
American steam turbine. The first successful
engine of that type. devised by Mr. Parsons
originated in England, but the British govern
ment has now ordered a turbine from the
United States for one of its cruisers 1t will
not dc to attach too much Importance to the in
cident, but England's desire to give the Curtis
engine a trial must be particularly gratifying
TO the compatriots Of its inventor
The Curtis and Parsons turbines differ from
each other in two respects The former can
be reversed and the latter cannot 1t is neces-
sary, when a Parsons engine Is EMPLOYED for
marine service, TO supplement 1t with a smaller
one in order to move a ship backward An
other point of dissifnilarity is found in the man
in which the steam does its work In the two
engines. Mr. Curtis limits the expansion to a
single chamber, or cylinder and gets along
with one shaft, unless the ship he equps has
two screws. In that case he provides two dis
tinct and complete engines. Mr. Parsons pre-
fers TO conduct a part of the expansion Inf one
chamber, and finish It in one or two others
The Carmania's engine, for instance has one
high pressure chamber aud two low pressure
chambers. Each of the three has its own shaft
and each shaft has screw. A slightly differ
ent plan is followed with the Mauretsnia bur
the same principle is observed. Mr. Parsons
always divides the expansion between two or
more chambers.
