Peking, then follow that ancient Tartar
barrier to the Khingan Mountains, thence to
the Argun and Sungari Rivers-probably as
far north as the southern banks of the Amur,
including the whole of Manchuria, home of
China's former conquerors and present ruling
class.
By Permission of the Powers
Japan feels that she may as justly claim
this vast territory as Rumania exacted
strip of land from Bulgaria for not fighting
or as Italy claims Italia irredenta" for even
a perilously belated entry into the war. She
will expect at least this much in the antic-
ipated parceling out of the German spoils,
when the Allies will, as she hopes, take the
vast Teutonic empire and
part it as a dish
Whereof to each his wish
The amty of the full feast decides.
With these things in view Japan may,
upon the invitation of France and the other
Allies, dispatch some of her fine army corps
to help decide the issue along the two far
hung battle-lines in Europe There is as
we say, strong party" in Japan in favor
of immediate Intervention and the sending
Of an efficient army to aid their Western
allies. 1t is even believed in Toxic and else
where that Count Okuma himself, together
with his ablest lieutenants in the Govern
ment, as we'll thousands of thinking men
in public and private life, would like to
have Japan share actively and conspicuousIy
in the struggle along the foremost lines of
battle.
But whatever Japan GAZING by the war and
whatever larger scope the war may afford to
her ambitions need not disturb America
The war has, for the present time, at least
diverted the attention and the keenest inter
est Of Japan to the continent of Asia. This is
her proper field her true and natural sphere
of influence" Asia alone offers full play for
the gathered forces of the rejuvenated en-
pire. And the region that includes Korea
and Manchuria is the best part of the earth's
surface for the development of the Japanese
people-best suited to them for reasons of
race, traditions, culture and the character
the nation has now acquired
Should the tide of Japanese migration turn
definitely to the heart Of Asia, at least to the
interior Of Manchuria, 1t would remove one
source OF apprehension to both Japanese
and Americans and allow space and time
for the healing of tealousies and old wounds.
The two peoples, long united in real friend
ship, could then engage in friendly rivalry
for the trade empire OF the Pacific shores and
OF the incommensurable future commerce of
eastern and southern Asia.

Fair Play for the Jitnexs

THE jitneys entitled to fair play. It
is not fair play to require them to charge
about one-tenth of what taxicabs are per-
mitted to charge for equivalent service. An
automobile is still automobile, whether
1t carries a taXimeter or a jitney banner.
Let Councils be sure that its purpose is TO
regulate the jitneys and not drive them out
of business. 1t is neither good politics nor
good craftsmanship to outlaw an industry
that has become so popular and would SO
obviously meet a public need

CANDLE-LIGHT

AS in old days OF mellow candle-light,
little flame OF gold beside the pane
Where icy branches blowing In the rain
Seem specter figures OF a ghostly might
Yet on the hearth the fire is warm and bngha
The homely kettle steams a soft refrain
And 10 ones mind old things rush back again
Sweet tender things still young In deaths de-
spite.
SO, when the winter blasts across life's sea
Do beat about my door and shake the walls
Until the house must sink upon the sand,
Then on some magic wind OF memory.
Borne swiftly to my heart whisper falls
And on my arm the pressure OF your hand

The Pope RighteousIy Neutral

THE Allies can derive little comfort from
L the interview which a French Journalist
secured with Pope Benedict. The head of
the Roman Catholic Church held a very even
balance between the contending parties He
condemned the sinking of the Lusitania def
inltely and unreservedly. But when the al
legged atrocities OF the Germans were con-
sdered he balanced them with official denials
and with reported cruelties by the Russians.
His Holiness put the whole matter on the
broadest and firmest basis, the unrlghteous-
ness Of war, I'VE neutral" he said. God
wishes that there be peace among men. A
Pope can want and preach only peace"
Yet If there is no comfort here for the
Allies there is surely none for the warning
Kaiser. And there is stil less Justification
for the statement of Gustave Herve: THE
Pope has reached an understanding with
Austria, Bavaria and Prussia whereby, II
France and Italy are beaten. his temporal
power in Rome will be restored to the
Vatican"
The Papacy has had dihiculties enough
with Italy; 1t has them even now But II
has shown through the present crisis a frank
spirit OF cooperation with the Government
Herve is suffering from the fever of preJu-
dice. which has been and is epidemic.

Democratic Iceland

Iceland Is really country by itself 1t is,
of course q dependency of Denmark and
has been for several hundred years. but It
bears about the same governmental relation
ship to the Danish kingdom as Canada or
Australia bears to the British Crown. The
King of Denmark appoints Governor Cen
era to rule the island but the Danes them
selves elect an Althing or Parliament by
which they are actually governed. The
island Is practically a republic II has no
aristocracy, no army. no navy and one of
the smallest poor lists in the world But
the people are not Danish to call them so
would be an insult, They are Icelanders,
and their language Is Icelandic, which is
neither Danish, Norwegian nor Swedish, hut
the parent tongue from which all three have
grown,
In short, the Icelanders are the uncor-
rupted stock of the ancient Norwegian
Vikings, to which was grated pronounced
Irish Celtic element, and. protected as they
have been in their isolation the absence of
immigration and the sturdiness of their
strain, they represent today practically the
same race as that of which the skaIds sang
in the great painted halls OF the chieftains,
when the Icelandic sagas were composed to
record the deeds OF jarls who drove their
long ships wherever there was water to
carry their keels.
Some 500 years before Columbus set sail
with his caraves a Viking company from
Iceland under Left the Lucky, a sea king
of renowned fame, ventured across the un
known western ocean and gained the shores
of this continent at point supposed to be in
the vicinity OF Martha's Vineyard. Now
Iceland, after passing through such viclssi-
tudes have visited few countries in his
tory, has struggled back to a condition ap-
proximating the spendor OF its ancient days.
and II has extended hand across the gray
Atlantic rollers, inviting Americans 10 es-
establish closer trade relationships with it's
rock-bound fJords, its white capped iolxulls
and intervening pasture lands
Away out in the South Pacific Tahiti was
busy worrying about its trade relations with
the outside world until the inhabitants
learned that the United States was not
likely to become the ally Of Germany and
Austria. The German Admiral, Won Spee
visited the Tahitlan archipelago in the early
days of the war, and at a breakfast attended
by many Of the European residents of Bora
bora declared that the United States would
remain neutral only short time longer. as
she was already hand-in-glove with Ger
many, and II would greatly benefit her 10
side with that country. On that occasion
he gave a toast "To our new allies. the
United States Of America" But the islanders
Of the archipelago are still doing business
with San Francisco.

WARS SHADOW
ON ICELAND
The Return of the Golden Age to
the Northern Island Has Been De-
layed for Years by the Conflict in
Europe
Bv ERNEST DAVIS

UlHE humorous view of Iceland was ex-
i pressed the other day somewhat az fol-
lows: "Baedekers are being slaughtered at
fifty cents apiece al the bookshops. but all
things considered II strikes us that even
that is a stiff price. Still the volumes treat
ing Of Iceland and the territory adjoining
the South Pole are as utie now as they
ever were"
Iceland is an unfortunate name It is by
no means the barren desolate country that
many Of us suppose, 1t is a pastoral coun-
] try. The great bulk Of the population Of
ninety thousand Is scattered on the farms.
Still the winters are severe and the sum-
mer months usually are only four and
half Cfrom the first Of May to mld-septem-
ber), though sometimes the mild weather
fingers until November
And now the sturdy people OF Iceland turn
to the land to which LeIf the Lucky sailed
thousand years ago and ask for better
trade relations. They want to sell goods to
us and buy goods from us. They have sent
agents to talk the matter over with Ameri-
cans.
Trading Under Difficulties
The war which has raclted Europe has
been particularly hard in its effects upon
many isolated communities thousands Of
these none has been moro quick to suffer
than Iceland. The 1celanders are compelled
to rely for their grain. wood and many other
essential domestic wares upon the outside
world. Its communications with the Euro
pean continent are menaced by the widely
sown mines of the belllgerents, and the In
creased prices Of foodstuffs on the continent
have made the continuance of trade un-
profitable. So, in their dilemma, the Ice
landers have turned to the United States
Iceland was prospering when the war
broke out and was looking forward to n re-
turn Of its golden age. The live stock indus
try was thriving better than ever before.
The 100000 head OF cattle and 1000. 900 sheep
were yielding good money returns. TheIsland-
ers can sell the live stock products in Europe
but cannot secure the goods they need in
return. Iceland sheep, by the way, make
splendid mutton, extra fine. The Icelanders
have n good export In trade in mutton and
WOOL and are now offering us a part Of it
In exchange for breadstuffs and manufac-
tured products. They are offering also dried
and salted fish. The fish crop last year in
cluded about 100000 barrels Of herring.
Iceland, pastoral rather than an agri-
cultural community, cannot raise wheat
profltably. and is dependent for breadstuffs
on Importation Fotatoes are raised and
few other vegetables, but for many neces-
stiles Iceland is now looking to the United
States and hoping that our exporters will
think 1t worth while to devote more atten-
tion than heretofore to this island of the
northern seas, The Icelanders who have
come over to talk with Americans on this
subject report that the harbors on the south
ern coast are never frozen in, and that only
once in a great many years has the northern
coast been blocked by ice. The distance
from New York Is 24OO miles, or ten days
steamlng
