mination of this remarkable con-
structive feat.
Colonel Goethals is a modest man,
and probably is well pleased that the
eyes Of the world were not focused
upon him., The dispatches tell us
that hes made the opening of the
canal as informal as was possible
and suppressed any attempts to
glorify him. The world values such
modesty in men in high places, but
it wants, nevertheless, modesty or no
modesty, the opportunity to give
such men their due need of praise.
The canal still will be there when
this destructive war spirit has spent
itself; it will be there to help repair
the damage that has been done. We
need not concern ourselves that Colo
mel Goethals was robbed of his hour.
History will correct it all and his
name will stir the emotions and the
gratitude of men long years from
now when the names that were more
conspicuously accentuated Saturday
have been. forgotten.

AN INEVITABLE OUT
COME.

The terms of the japanese lad
vice" TO Germany are just-as impos-
5ble of acceptance by self-respeet-
big nation, as were those OF the
Austrian ultinatum to Servia. War
between Germany and Japan is just
as certain now as the Austrian ulti-
matum made it certain between Ser
via and Austria.
The part that japan will play In
the conflict will probably be rather
minor. Germany's stronghold of
Kiaochow bay will be invested and
will doubtless fall. Strongly fortified,
it is not Port Arthur, and there is
no naval force there comparable to
that which Russia had at Port Ar
thur when the war started with
Japan.
The greatest single danger to
American interests from the move
that japan has seen fit to make, lies
in the dissemination of extreme and
unwarranted suspicious and insinua-
lions, which in their most violent
form will be reproduced in Japan,
and there can have only the effect Of
making the japanese people feel
that these extreme expressions rep
resent general American attitude.
The Washington times., 1914-08-17
CONFUSION.

Even to those minds best prepared
to follow and comprehend the war
even upon the most detached, serene
and dispassionate intelligences, all the
tremendous mass of detail of the last
week cannot but leave sense OF
confusion. The number and vastness
of the movements gives an impress
sion only slightly less than what can
be described as chaotic. No one mind
can hope to keep it ali in proper
perspective.
Accepting as true the reports upon
which the strategists are building
their plans of campaign, these are
probably as close to truth as is pos
sible to come at such distance. But
it is wise to remember that very few
of the reports can be accepted with
out qualification and that the tactical
ideas may be entirely different.
One thing above all else it is well
to keep constantly in mind. However
meaningless, complex or chaotic our
inpressions-looking at it from a
distance of 5000 miles-may be, all
that is going on is moving inevitably
along definite, consistent and logical
lines.
The war is moving along avenues
carefully and deliberately planned
and from which every element Of
chance has been eliminated so far as
the logical processes and prescience
Of men could eliminate them. 1t is
moving, moreover, toward definite
conclusions which, however they may
represent at last new reactions and
interrelations of force and strength,
eventually will appear so simple as
to be easily grasped.
However otherwise 1t may appear,
the logical processes of civilized men
are behind all this apparent confu-
sion, and just as the complicated
masses of machinery seem very SIM
pie, after all, to the engineer con-
trolling them, so this tumble Of
armed camps and fighting men ulti-
mstely will unravel itself into a COM
psratively simple plan.
1t will take but very short time
for whatever is of unquestioned &C
curacy to gain worldwide accept
ance. 1t is only contemporary his
tory that is confused by rumors,
manufactured reports, and one-sided
official statements.

JAPAN AND WORLD
OPINION.

When the German imperial chan.
cellor, two or three days ago, made a
statement of his country's justifica-
tons, he INDUCED an obvious appeal
to race prejudice the world over; an
effort to make Germany appear a,
the guardian and sponsor of Occi-
dental civilization and institutions as
against the ,invasions of Asiatics.
The German view will be accorded
the more acceptance in view of
Japan's appearance with an ulti-
matum to Berlin.
However Americans may feel that
this icountry's interests are affected
or menaced, it becomes more and
more apparent that at the close Of
this war there will be a more COM
pick and difficult problem for solu-
ton than ever faced the peacemak-
ing plenipotentiaries of the powers
before. What can Russia be grant
ed, that will not amount to a
Strengthening of the Oriental pow
er? Neither England nor France can
afford to let her have Constantinople
and the Dardanelles. To grant her
a northern outlet upon the western
ocean would mean the destruction Of
Scandinavian independence. To wear
down the power of the Germanic peo-
pie would be to weaken the barrier
which they present against the on
rushing wave of Slavism. To turn
over the control of China to an al
lance of Britain and japan would
be to set up an unnatural partner
ship of alien and ultimately hostile
races. That partnership would be
hated by the British nations of Aus
tralasia, of Africa, of North
America.
An alliance of Japan, Russia, and
Britain would be strong enough, if
the Germans are defeated, to control
the peace terms. But it is impossible
to conceive Britain granting enough
to Russia to win Russia to her side.
The possibilities of such deadlock
are portentous. They require no
stretch of the imagination to fore
see a second conflict, among the al
lies of today, just as a second Balkan
war succeeded the first.

POSTHUMOUS PROTEC-
TON

Fortunes are beoueathed to pro-
vide masses for the souls of tesla
tors, but the establishment of a fair
reputation after death has been COM
paratively neglected.
A Michigan justice has taken a
first tentative step into the limitless
fields awaiting cultivation under the
photograph. He has composed and
delivered for the record his own
funeral sermon, which will in due
course Of time be heard over his
Griffin.
II will be a simple matter for
others to develop this scheme by
tying up their requests with the con-
dition that the funeral sermons be
periodically repeated. opulent bene-
factors can require that the phono-
graph be continuously operated at
the doors of libraries, churches, and
colleges that they have endowed.
When one enterpriEing life insurance
company has added to its induce
ments the promise to see that its
clients demands in this respect are
dutifully carried out before annui-
ties are distributed. a gentle rivalry
will spring up among the companies
as to which can provide the most
felicitous model eulogies 20 tempt in
vestors.
The advantage of the photograph
record over the printed autcbiogra-
ply is, of course, that the record
cannot help being heard, while the
page is not always read. Iteration
is as convincing here as in an adver-
tisement of ready-made clothes.

Norman Angel, author Of ''Tke Great

ITALY AND OUR GRAIN

From Rome comes announcement
that Italy is preparing measures to
facilitate the importation of Ameri-
can grain into that country. Turkey
has closed the Dardanelles, which
shuts up the route by which Rus
sian grain has come to Italy. Amer
lea is the alternative source of large
supplies.
If Italy and Holland are able to
maintain neutrality-and each Is de-
ternined if possible to do it-then
Italy will be the commercial door to
Austria, and Holland to Germany.
Grain consigned to Italian houses
will not be subject to seizure, and If
it be transported, after its receipt in
Italy to Austrian destinations, the
Triple Entente will have no occa-
sion for complaint.
Likewise, American grain may be
sent to Dutch ports, and thence
shipped across the line into Ger
many. There is thus opened the pos
sibility of getting our fcodst,Iffs in
to The markets of the dual alliance
countries, while there is little doubt
that approximate safety will soon be
insured to shipments destined direct
TO the ports of the countries oppos-
ing the dual alliance. The exclusion
of Russian grain from the countries
most in need of supplies, naturally
causes those countries to turn in
Americas direction.

AN INCIDENTAL EFFECT.

In the contemplation of things Of
greater immediate interest, some OF
the important incidental effects OF
the war on European countries are
not getting the attention that in
times of peace would be given to
them. Thus the British government
has taken over the railroads of the
United Kingdom, as a military ne
cessity. She has pledged to pay to
security owners the return that rep
resents the average of earnings for a
fixed period of recent years.
There is no serious protest in any
quarter against this program. The
public realizes that the government
has good reasons for communicating
the transportation in such a time.
Investors in their securities, realiz-
ing that war conditions without a
guarantee Of returns might see the
dividends wiped out entirely, are
we'll pleased to be assured that they
have nothing to lose. A good many
other businesses in the kingdom
would be well pleased with like
certainty.
For many years the suggestion Of
Matchmaking the railroads of Brit
ain has been rather accidentally dis
cussed. It required a crisis to bring
the government to action. That ac-
ton has been taken. While initiated
as n war measure, it is very possible
that the roads will never be returned
to the private corporations for oper-
alton. More likely, the governments
management will be continued after
peace is declared, and terms will be
made for a definite assumption Of
permanent title to the properties.
Germany's government railroads
have long been regarded by traders
in Great Britain as one of the most
potent Observation-Disclosures used in pro-
noting the German campaign for
trade expansion. 1t has been an i'm
portant part of German policy to
give highly advantageous rates on
the state roads, to move goods in
tended for export. A phase of the
protection and bounty system, it is
true; but it added much to the diff
ficulty which British manufacturers
in meeting German COM
petition. After doing that, Germany
