Mai Charles Hine, formerly vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Pacific railroad of Mexico
and the only graduate of West Point
who has filled all railway operating po-
sitions from freight brakeman to vice
president, has arrived from Chicago at
his home in Vienna, Va, and offered his
services to the War Department. Maj.
Hine. in his work as a railway expert
throughout the United States, Canada
and Mexico. has a wide acquaintance
with railroads and railroad men in this
country. He has visited every impor-
tant railroad yard and has traversed all
the main rail lines In the Republic of
Mexico.
1t is understood that il the necessity
arises the War Department will utilize
his unique experience and extensive ac-
quantance in the military operation of
the railways of Mexico. Maj. Hine was
| under fire at Santiago. in command of
a battalion of the 1st District of Co
lumbia Volunteers. and has since had
various experiences in revolution-rid-
den zones of Mexico while engaged in
railway work there. When the first
revolution broke out he was making a
report on the National Railways of Mex
! leo ana subsequently IOT Two years
managed the Southern Pacific on the
west coast of Mexico. At present he is
employed as expert adviser to form er

way system.

Seen by a Star reporter in a Rock

comprehensively of the military and
economic problems in Mexico.

marked. I'm 1898 came back as duty.
This time it is both duty and a priv-

advance in civilization possible on this

Humble Poems Are Faithful.
I'm a period of fifteen months in 1912
3 we had 300 bridges burned on the west
coast Not once did we even suspect our
own men. The section foremen and track
walkers. humble poems at remote places,
were as faithful as was the house slave
on the southern plantation when his mas
ter had gone to war
The great American corporations
have don't splendid sociological work
among the laboring classes of Mexico,
and the railways in particular have be-
gun the development of that intelligent
middle class which is the bulwark of
our civilization. Its absence is what
is the matter in Mexico. The leaders are
like the bullies of the old time country
school, whom the new teacher must
lick before the good children can go
about their appointed tasks. Our army
must be the schoolmaster, and when
the trashing is over must help do a
great work of constructive rehabilita-

HOW ABOUT JAPAN?
1.-The Imminent Issue.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Has the European war. along with
! the guerrilla fighting in Mexico. served
| to turn American attention from the is
sue most vital to American well-being-
vital. even, to American safety? Have
we become so absorbed In the European
drama that we stand unconscious while
in the orient a stage Is set for drama
where we may no longer be spectators.
but leading players with a life-and-
death interest in the issue Of the plot?
That such is the case Is the sober
opinion of some of the keenest and
most experienced students of the far
eastern situation. Their reiterated as
sertions as to the dangerous state Of
our affairs in the east are causing Amer
leans to turn their eyes inquiringly
across the Pacific, in spite of many as
surances from other authorities, who
ridicule any talk of serious trouble.
If we are faced by the necessity of
action to avert situation where we
shall have to choose between war and
surrendering certain of our rights, then
such action will have to be motivated
primarily by the attitude of the Amer
lean people. 1t follows that a knowl-
edge of the actual state of affairs is es-
-
riety of reasons that knowledge is one
of the hardest things in the world to
get.
1t is hardly possible for any Euro
pean country long to keep secret the

State of On;pior lie opinion to-

Toward the U. S. states. Take the
case of Germany, for instance, when
from time to time there arises the
question of strained relations over
points of international law. A score of
correspondents keep us posted on every
new shade of feeling in the German
national mind. We know how the Ger
man people receive our suggestions and
offers almost as soon as we know how
the American nation as whole re-
CARDS them. 1t would be impossible
for Germany or any other European
nation to adopt a national attitude
that would take US by surprise. With
Japan the case is fundamentally and
fatally different.
Japan is nation that speaks Ian
guage so totally different from ours
tndI IL is an immense TASK 1OT HI
American to learn it, and one that
comparatively few undertake. Japan's
written word is built on a system ba
sically opposed to our script; it is even
harder for an alien to master than the
language. AS a result Americans who
speak Japanese are few and far be-
tween. Americans who read it fewer
and farther. Add to this the fact that
Japan has today the strictest and most
effective of press censorships. and two
facts become evident.
First. that behind the wall of an
alien tongue reinforced by the censor
ship almost anything might be going
on in Japan without our knowledge.
and. second, that whatever does get
published in Japan, even in the vel
lowest" section of the press. has a GER
tain smack of the authoritative that
similar utterance in this country would
lack because every Japanese paper
has been passed by the official censor.
The significance Of this state of af-
fairs as applied to the United States

important, however. to know how the
other nation concerned regards it. A
question which no American can afford
to treat indifferently is, How about
Japan?

then It is time for US to do some seri-
Gus thinking.
It is charged. and backed up by nu-
merous quotations from Japanese YER
nacular and English papers, that there
is a deliberate campaign going FOR
ward in Japan to arouse anti-Amerf-
can sentiment throughout the nation.
1t Is no news to Americans that there
has been an increasing lack Of cor
diality in Japanese rela-
tions. but thas affairs have come to
the point where the United States Is
conceived in the popular mind as
Japan's active opponent and logical
enemy does come as news, and news
of a somewhat startling character.
Side by side with this campaign TO
plant hostility against America IN
Japan, 1t Is charged that a parallel
campaign is being conducted in Amer
ica-a campaign whose object Is 70
spread abroad in the United States the
idea that Japan cheriehes only the
friendliest intentions toward us-a cam
paign, in other words. to lull our sus-
picions, to discourage any tendency
Americans may have toward making
preparations for a possible emergency.
Thus should the clash come and neither
side give ground. a fiercely inimical
and heavily armed little empire would
have to deal with a big. unready re-
public, whose national attitude toward
her antagonist could best have been
described as one Of complete 1ndiner-
conflict is not pleasant to consider.
