Japan i'm the War.

In France there Is a strong demand
that Japan be requested to send her
veteran troops to help the Allies
While this demand Is by no means
universal. It Is growing in intensity.
Great Britain Ii silent on the subject
Undoubtedly her Government does not
wish Japan to participate further In
the war, except In a case of absolute
necessity. Japan has half a million
highly trained troops which are prob
ably, man for man. the equal Of any
soldiers In the world, and these would
be a great help to the Allies in their
desperate struggle to drive tbs Ger
mans out of France and Belgium.
But II Japan lent this assistance. which
che is undoubtedly wil1ing--ani even
eager-to do, she would have a much
more important voice In the peacs
council which must follow the war.
and which may materially alter the
political map of the world. Il, is not

The rumors that Russian would not
be adverse to material assistance from
the Japanese muse be very discon-
certing to Great Britain. The Man
churian Railway affords q means OF
moving vast Japanese armies into the
eastern theater OF tho European war.

strength to that already powerful gov

able comment,
The entire Board OF Governors Of Mooseheart
