provide for her own safety. Had Jap.
an failed, where would China be today?
Japans demands" relating to Man.
churia and Mongolia, therefore, may
not now be criticised.
To provide for the peace Of the Far
East Japan has now driven Germany
out from Shantung. China has how.
ever presented to Japan demands that
show how completely she fails to un-
derstand the whole situation and the
danger to herself, as we'll as to Japan
For European possessions and mill
tary bases in China are a menace to
Japan as we'll as an injury to China
Japan, therefore, has right to impose
upon China certain conditions in this
matter.
We must not forget that German
treaties with China provide that under
certain circumstances China might be
called upon to give substitute for
Kiao-Chao Nor should we overlook
Germany's reported threat in October
last that she would hold China respon-
sible for all losses incurred by Ger
many because of Japanese aggression
in Shantung. What does that mean?
Can we wonder that Japan desires so
to tie things up and so to secure her
own position in Chinese affairs as to
preclude any fresh European aggres-
sions?
To make this sure, not only must
China promise not to cede ports or ter
ritory, but she may not even give rail-
road concessions or mining privileges
or contract foreign loans without first
securing consent from Japan. All -
does not that in principle invade Chi
mas sovereignty? Yes, it may be SO
- but only in case China herself is in
danger of surrendering that sovereign.
ty, as she SO often has in the past.
Japan therefore asks that China
visers so that she may be informed as
to every fresh encroachment proposed
by Europeans. For European en-
croachments endanger the sovereignty
of China, the safety of Japan and the
peace Of East Asia
But do not forget that Japan Is the
England of the East Her population
(50,O00,000) on islands OF less area
than California and much less fertile,
increases 100000 annually. Every
white mans land has denied Asiatic
admittance. If Japan now demands an
outlet into the sparsely settled regions
of East Asia, who can refuse? If she
claims superior right for privileges Of
commerce, of mining and Of building
railroads in China, what white people
can Justly contest that right? Her bill
lion dollar debt was incurred because
of a war forced on her by white ag-
gression. Will any white nation help
her pay It on? Her expensive army
and navy have been her only possible
safety from Europe's militarism and
arrogance Will any white nation help
poor Japan pay the bills we compel
her to incur?
The one condition which Japan must
OF course observe in her dealings with
China is that in the pushing OF her
own rights and interests she shall also
provide for those of China. Japan
must so conduct herself in China and
on behalf of China as to be a real
friend. And she should win that friend
ship in fact, not only for China's sake
but also for her own.

Count Okuma. the present premier
of Japan. has twice cabled message
of good faith to the United States.
Japan is not seeking to secure in Chi
ma any advantage which does not ac-
cord with the Anglo-Japanese alliance
or with any treaty with the United
States" Is one of the positive assur-
ances from his last message.
The papers have now reported the
arrangements finally made between
China and Japan, acceptance Of which
by China averted the use Of force by
Japan.
While the embassy, sent by the fed
eral council Of the churches of Christ
in America, was in Japan, Count Oku-
ma assured us that Japan's negotia-
tons with China sought to maintain
the sovereignty of China and the prin-
ciple of the open door.
The entire matter, however, Of the
China-Japanese negotiations has been
presented to American readers with In
tense suspicion and an amazing failure
to recognize Japan's viewpoint She
has been charged with duplicity, with
wanton aggression, with determination
to reduce China to helplessness, to an
mex her as she has Korea, and in en-
tire disregard of the rights of other
nations.
The most explicit statements of
Count Okuma have been secuted as
base lies intended merely to deceive a
gullible world and gain time for the
contamination of Japan's nefarious de-
signs.
These interpretations have been pro-
claimed broadcast throughout America,
sowing seeds Of distrust and suspicion.
Distrust and settled suspicion. how
ever, are the fertile sources of interna-
tional conflict.
Does the lifelong character OF a
great man over seventy-five years Of
age count for nothing? And does not
the course of Japan's diplomacy ever
since she entered the circle of the ma
lions stand high for common sense
and foresight, and also for probity:
And do these count for nothing?
All - the hostile and suspicious
critic will reply = but how about Ko.
rea? and Manchuria? How about the
"twenty-one demands? Why such Sc
crecy! Why the threats and finally
the ultimatum?
am ignorant of none of these
things? But hesitate not to say that
If once the critic will put himself SYM
pathetically in Japan's place, new
light will dawn on the whole question.
Suspicion and unfriendliness preclude
impartial judgment This spirit of
suspicion vitiates the argument and
poisons the animus of so much that
has been written for American con-
sumption.
AS for Korea, remember that the
real question was - shall 1t become
part of the Russian empire or Of that
of Japan? Neither Russians nor Ko-
reans allowed any other alternative.
Arguments that take no cognizance of
that alternative are not worth the
paper they are written upon. No doubt
there we're unfortunate details. but
they are details, and do not touch the
central question.
AS for Manchuria, it was already In
Russia's grip. China was impotent.
Japan, single-handed, drove Russia out
- ito maintain the integrity of China"

be illegal to discriminate In any way
between individual rates OF the same
class and hazard. A complete resume
of the new insurance law will be found
on another page in today's Courier.

STATE MATCHES PHEAsANTs.

Des Moines, July More than 1000
ringneck pheasants have been Matched
out on the state game preserve on the
Iowa state fair grounds this spring
and another 1000 will be coming OF
within few days. This is the largest
number of birds which has ever been
raised in one season on the preserve
since 1t was established In 1913. In
July hundreds of birds will be sent out
to the county preserves which are now
established in every county In the
state. The birds have been free from
disease this spring, but the keeper has
lost scores of little birds through the
depredations of ground squirrels and
hawks

Dewitt, July Mrs. Bernard Srok-
ron died here one night last week.
Bernard Srokron, with friend, sat up
with the body throughout the night. At
4 o'clock in the morning he passed his
knife across his throat, severing the
windpipe. He was crazed with grief.
He had spent the night hours sharpen
ing his knife. Hour after hour tho
rasp of the stone across the blade was
the only sound made. When his com.
panion asked why he continually
worked on the knife, he replied: ITO
peel potatoes" At five minutes Of
the friend went home. At 4 o'clock
Bernard Srokron went upstairs and cut
his throat, severing the windpipe and
several small veins, missing, however,
the jugular vein.

BENEFITS AccRUlNe ALREADY.

An Ottumwan who visited in Cedar
Rapids recently got into conversation
with a group of travelling men at one
of the hotels there and found them
greatly interested in the new hotel pro
ject in this city The sentiment was
marked that new hotel would be a
fine thing for the city and not one OF
the travellers but what expressed de-
sire to visit the new, hostelry after 1t
is erected.
The word is already being passed
out among the travellers of the state
that Ottumwa is to have fine new
hotel and it is safe to assume that this
city will begin enjoying the fruits OF
the improvement even before the no.
tel is thrown open to the public.
