A CHRISTMAS CAROL

In the stiffness of the midnight.
In the silence of the Star,
In the slumber of the white lambs,
On the hillsides, near and far,
Came the Christ Child to his mother:
To the humble oxen's STALL
He. the Babe of Paradise. sweet:
Lord of Christmas. King of all.
Hush, let not word be spoken
OF his sacrifice for men,
STOPPING from his world of glory,
To be woman-born: pen
OF sweet straw to be his cradle.
He is ours, just ours, today.
Mark that mortal smile. that shining
OF the halo in the hay!
While the palm trees rustic softly,
While his lullaby. the breeze,
Croons amid the angels anthem
Which the star-lit heaven cleaves.
We will claim him ours. our treasure,
Christmas Babe, and Babe divine.
Hail. thrice hail. o mystic stranger.
Nesting in thy straw-filled shrine!
Helen Chase, in Brooklyn Eagle.

Orient, especially as to the fate Of
Australia. Japan's star indicates that
she must develop her power on land
and sea and if Japan should expand
greatly, England doubtless would not
like it. The writer urges that the
responsibility of Japan arising out of
the alliance is greater than that of
England and that at the present time
England is using the treaty as a club
to best Japan. He thinks that the al
lance has lost its foundation both for
Japan and for England.
To solve the problem of what eff
feet the war will have upon the al
lance one must decide what the re-
suit of the war will be- He thinks
that while Germany is in a superior
position at this time she will doubt
less be Inundated by the Entente
powers. But Prof. Militia figures that
since the Entente powers are losing
their strength they will naturally wish
to- conclude peace in due time, peace
which, he thinks, will be made on
terms of restoring the ante-war status
and boundary lines as much as pos
Sible. The professor. is apprehensive
as to the burden that may be placed
upon Japan in the future on account
of the alliances and he is fearful to
the safe outcome of Japan's policy in
China which is that of seeking econo-
mic development. To secure market
in India is next in importance to Sc
curing a market in China, in his opin-
ion. He realizes that some Indians
may think of securing the independ-
ence of India but is rather inclined
to think that from the Japanese
standpoint it is better that India, re-
main under British rule. He added:
independence of India cannot be
expected in a short time. After ia
pans power has Increased great deal
she may think of extending her pro-
tecting hand to India"
Professor T. F'ukuda expressed the
opinion that after the war the econ
on1ic influence of Great Britain in the
world will to a certain extent, be
reduced-a view which, according to
the writer, would be fully entertained
by all persons in we1l-informed cir
cles, except those who are blind wor-

Toxic, Feb. 5-The great subject of
discussion in Toxic today is the re-

anese press against the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance. So violent has been
the campaign of attack that another
part of the press has risen to the de-

caused as much sensation as the orr

The. Japanese criticisms of the al
lance were largely written by pro-
fessors in the Imperial University,
is a teacher of literature. These
writer's mostly concludes that the al
lance with Great Britain is harmful
to Japan. Prof. Tatebe doubts
whether the alliance can be continued
for long because there are but few
points Of identity in the national ideals
of Japan and England. He said: Can
such great honorable national ideals
as those, held by Japan be found in
England? Intelligent persons will be
able to decide at once as to that. AS
the national ideal of England is in
SO the guiding principle of England
in International dealings is also indi-
vidualism and selfishness''
And the professor continues: t'Ja-
pan stands for loyalty and Justice;
Germany for loyalty and injustice;
England for disIoya.Ity and se1fishness.
It is because of this seIfishness and
dis1oyalty that England, while speak
ing of ultimate victory is reporting
daily advances by an inch and retreats
by another inch. The British are a
race of long sleeves (poor fighters)
We cannot afford to keep company

Professor Masutaro Militia, another
member of the staff of the Imperial
University, contributes an article in
which he declares that the develop

the increase OF the navy may give a

"AS for economic relations" writes
Professor Tetsu6e Negase, an histor-i
ian attached to the army department,
t'the interests of Japan and England
can never coincide. 1t is natural that
Japan which is a newcomer in China
should not please England. But
China is the unique place for Japan's
development in economic lines and we
cannot allow England to monopoHze
the trade interests in China. The
economic value of the alliance with
Great Britain may be judged from the
fact that England classes the Japanese
race with the, co1ored races and ex-
c1udes the Jahanese from her, colo

alliance does not benefit Japan as
rauch as it does England.
References to Germany are made
by Professor Masao ~Kambe in an ar

he argues for the cultivation or the
strength of Japan for he declares that
the only hope for Japan among the
white races is in power. AS he saw
the situation, if Japan is to maintain
her position it will be necessary for
her to initiate Germany which is a
country and a people who. know that
without power nothing can be done
Japan needed to cultivate the spirit Of
philosophy possessed by the Germans
and Japan needed that kind of educa-

Germany's strength and by which she

DIVORCE is NOT AN
INHERENT RIGHT

Hartford, Feb. 8-The motion made
by GenevieYe S. WEIGH that her hus-
band, Edward S. Welch, a floriHt in
this city, be required to make an al
lowance to her, to permit her to en-
gage counsel to prosecute her divorce
action against him, has been denied
by Judge Joseph P. futile in the su-
perior court.
The complaint charges WEIGH with
habituaI intemperance, adultery and
into1erable cruelty. The answer filed
by WEIGH denies the truth of the al
legations. Judge futile, in his mem
orandum of decision, denying the mo-
ton of Mrs. WEIGH, says:-
mo person in this state has an in
herent right to a divorce, and no wife
seeking a divorce from her husband
has an inherent right to call upon
him for an allowances for counsel fees
to prosecute suit against him Cir
cumstances may arise under which it
is proper for this court to compel a
man Of means to pay counsel fees in
aid of wife whom he has Wronged,
but no such circumstance have been
shown here, and the application is
therefore denied.
