following which we extract from a

is the matter with this world? Is
there no brotherhood left? Is the
clock OF the brotherhood Of men to
be turned back 100 years? The great
war which is now appalling the world
is the Gethsemane of our nation.
Our nations business now is to
keep out of war. This is my SEN
honorably." The questions which
cussed and the situation in Mexico
was gone over, the senator saying
that lie was not in favor of sending
the United States army to that
country to protect someone's business
who had gone there because he
couldn't make enough money in
this country. "We2 will fight for
our honor, but npt for territorial ag-
grandizement. want to tell you
that the good old Ship Of State has
been sailing pretty close to trouble,
more so than many Of you realize.
The president is guiding it carefully

JAPAn,s RAID UPON CHINA.

(From the New " rk World. +.
What Japan exacts of China is
the surrender Of its sovereignty.
Japan asks more of China than
Austria asked Of Serbia last July.
N The demands made upon China by
Japan contemplate the political, COM
mercial, financial and social con-
quest of a nation of 400,000,0O0 by a
nation Of perhaps 70,O0O,000.~
What Japan demands Of China is
that it be permitted to build, own
and manage some Of China's most
important railroads.; that it have a
virtual monopoly of mining, agricul-
ture and manufacturing in important
districts; that. it be accorded con-
troll Of Chinese governmental and
military affairs; that no other pow
err shall ever be given by cession or
lease, any territory in China, and
that China shall be bound forever to
purchase one-haf or more Of its mu-
nitions Of war from Japan.
In the war now raging in Europe,
Japan is ostensibly an ally of Great
Britain. With true Oriental clever
ness, it subscribed to the high
ideals professedly upheld in London.
It was outraged by. the oppression
of Serbia. 1t was shocked by the
wantonness Of the German invasion
of Belgium. Yet what it is doing
now, and what it has been doing ev-
er since it engaged in the strife. is
to make scraps Of paper of treaties
and other engagements quite as i'm
portant as that which was torn up
by the German war party at Liege.
Japan is taking advantage Of the
situation, much as some Christian
nations similarly placed might do.
In the quarrels Of, Christendom it
finds its opportunity. To the ag-
ression and bad faith of Western
civilization it appeals for example
and instruction. A nominal ally. it
assumes in it's own case to make
