Evening journal., 1914-11-14

When the report was received here
last month that some fifty Japanese,
who failed to leave Germany before
the declaration of war, had been put
under arrest in that country under the
pretext of protecting them from pop
ular violence, il naturally occasioned
great indignation, as the act was not
only unnecessarily high handed, but
was clearly a violation of the estab-
lished rules of war. The indignation
was all the more intense, because
Germans staying I'm this country were
placed under no restraint whatever,
and enjoyed perfect security in all re-
spects, as at ordinary times. In view
of this, the Imperial government lost
no time in requesting the United
States government to use its good Of
fices to obtain the release Of the inn
prsoned Japanese, a request that
evoked the most willing response.
Subsequently, it has been ascertained
that of those fifty, some dozen or so
had left Germany previously in
safety. and also that the American am
bassador at Berlin was endeavoring
10 obtain the names of the remaining
Japanese incarcerated as well as their
liberation.
The American ambassadors efforts
were successful and the thirty odd
Japanese are soon to be set free. The
news was a great relief not only to the
friends and relatives of the unfortun-
ate prisoners, but to all of us, and il

and as a genera base Tor an attack
on London. The Channel ports, Il
was announced, would also be seized
for similar purposes. Something of
scare in England followed. Yet
that scare did not benefit Germany.
It's first practical result was the
sending TO Flanders of additional
British troops, not fully trained, but
trained sufficiently to meet the second
and third line troops which Germany
has recently been employing there.
A German invasion Of England is
not absolutely beyond the bounds Of
possibility. But it could be accom-
pllshed only under exceptionally ia
vorable conditions. The risk would
be very great, even if Germany had
Great Britain alone to contend with.
But having Russia and France on
her hands and not being able at pre-
sent to make headway against either,
it would be folly to try to land an
army in England. Germany needs
all the troops she has to keep up
her fight on the Continent She
cannot take the long chance Of dis
patching an army across the North
Sea in transports 50 long as her own
warships are not willing to contest
the control of that sea with the war
ships of the enemy.
"The London Times" occasionally
warns the British public of the dan
ger of a German invasion But that
warning has apparently the patri-
otic purpose of encouraging enlist
ments. The more Germanys desire
to seek a reckoning with England on
English soil is exploited the reader
will be the response of volunteers to
the call of the British government.
Germany has therefore been playing
Great Britain's game in the opera
tions which resulted in the fall OF
Antwerp and which have had for
their next object the capture of Dun
kirk, Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe and
Havre. The real objective of the
German campaign in the west has
slipped out Of mind while secondary
and really unimportant ends have
been pursued at a great sacrifice of
time, men and material.
1t would have been far more ra-
tional for Germany to let Antwerp
alone and to eXpend every ounce OF
/ energy on taking Verdun. Verdun is
worth a dozen Antwerps, with Calais
and the other Channel ports thrown
! I'm Tor good measure. If in the last
six weeks Germany could have brok-
en- the French defenses in the valley
of the Meuse the second phase of her
western campaign would have been
as successful as the phase which car
ried her armies across Belgium and
we'll into Northeastern France. Her
position i'm the west would have been
vastly strengthened and she would
not have unduly hastened Greai
Britain's military preparations.
AS it Is, by using up so much oi
| her strength more or less aimlessly
in Belgium, she has merely prolonged
the deadlock on the whole western
front and put the Allies in better
position to employ next year the su.
perior forces which they have had
time to raise, equip and train for
] field service.

VILLAS AMBITION.
ON the NeM Ynrk World.

From the New York World
Villas desire to be a national chief
of police Is a worthy ambition. Mex
leo needs some one capable OF re-
storing domestic peace and maintain
ing public order. If the best fighting
man the Constitutionalist cause has
developed were given the job, he
would probably do the work efiici-
emily.
Having been a bandit and a revo-
lutionist, Villa knows how great harm
would result to his country if too
many irresponsible persons were
permitted to practice indefinitely his
old callings. Now that he has re-
formed, he is in favor of a general
reform and will enforce 1t If he is
only given the authority. II is not
unlikely that he will assume the au-
thority.
Soon or late the discordant ele-
ments in Mexico must be brought TO
recognize the supremacy of the law.
The present long reign of turbulence
has exhausted the country and driven
its people further into poverty and
lawlessness. A man like Villa at
least has the forceful character to
compel obedience. and the govern
ment that gave him the opportunity
to put an end to the activity of the
unruly class might last long enough
to earn the gratitude of the masses
Of the Mexican people.
