Some places have gone twenty years with

had concluded treaty of arbitration
Great Britain would he relieved OF the
obligation of assisting her ally ana
would further consider herself released
of all engagements TO help Japan against
any such power in the preservation OF
the independence and the integrity OF the
Chinese Empire and Of the principle or
equal opportunities for the commerce
and industry of all foreign nations in
China.
England has already. according to the
japanese. ceased 10 cooperate with them
for the integrity Of China. has virtually
accorded to Russia her consent TO the
latter's seizure of Mongolia, and is cred
tied with designs of securing for herself
the whole of Tibet. Moreover. England
has promoted the establishment Of re-
public in China. in defiance of the views
and protests of Japan. which considered
that the integrity Of China could best be
maintained by a monarchical form Of
government. and which, moreover. had
every reason to fear that the liking in
the Far East for republican institutions,
will extend across the narrow channel
from China to Japan.
No wonder. then. that the Toxic
NichiNichi Shinbun" and the osaka
Mainichi Shinbun." the former the prin-
cipal metropolitan newspaper and the
other the leading organ of the provincial
press. openly declare that for all prac-
teal purposes the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance ended with its revision last fall
and that Great Britain's friendship with
Russia has taken the place of the alli-
ance in question. These utterances are
known TO express the views not only Of
the public at large in Japan. but also
those of the government. That Japan
considers herself released from any obi-
cation toward England under the treaty
Of alliance which it pronOunces as at an
end and free TO act according TO her own
devices is perhaps best shown by the
fact that France is sending strong naval
and military reinforccmcnts to the Far
East for the protection of her posses
sions i'm Tonking and CoChin-China
from japanese aggression. and that some
Of Emperor Williams clcverest agents
are diCkerilG AT Toxic with the object Of
substituting Germany in the place Of
Great Britain rs the best friend and ally
OF Japan. Whether an alliance between
Germany and Japan. two of the most
aggressive military and naval powers in
the world. offers the same guarantee for
the preservation Of peace and for the
maintenance Of the status quo. espe-
Cially as far as the United States is con-
cerned, whether the Kaiser can or will
exercise the same restraining influence
upon Japan as did England until last
fall, is a matter not only for speculation
but also for apprehension.
