BERLIN, June 14.-That the idea
of a closer understanding between
Germany and Japan. first limited at
in the revelations of DR.. Karl Graves
the former confidential agent for Ger
many and England. to The New York
American. has been receiving the
thoughtful attention Of German pun
ucists is shown again in an article III
this weeks Die Zeitschrift by Count
Reventlow. the foremost naval expert
in Germany.
Germany. the writer urges, shoulu
refuse 20 allow consideration OF race
continent to lead It into taking SIDES
with Western nations against the
yellow Peril.
Suppose Japan really became mas
ter Of the Pacific" he says. t 70
scarcely likely Germany's economic
interests would suffer thereby. Equal
" little could il be injured by par
tial weakening Of American influence
in foreign affairs.
"creat Britain would be forced TO
transfer it's attention to the Far Eas'
as the chief center of its interests
This also would be scarcely likely to
Dniure German interests.
ION the other hand, what does
matter to the German Empire " t"e
yellow races establish themselves on

.,,rba mere fact of such an under
standing would have extraordinary
Influence on the international sltua-
ton.
This influence would be Favorable
n Germany and Japan, and, IN pro-

American conflict broaden, JUST so
much more urgent becomes the ne
cs.sity for Germany ignoring race
considerations and holding herseH
free to act according to the dictates
Of her own interests
The German press has thus far hau
little to say regarding the sensational
disclosures Of DR.. Graves. Most OF
the newspapers maintain the strict
