DEMANDS FOR BRITISH REPRIsAL.

DEMANDS FOR BRITISH REPRISAL.
1t is hard to believe that the reason
why the British government does not
make reprisal against German cities for
attacks on London and towns on the east
coast of England is because of self RE-
preston, although at the present time
that is the reason ascribed for the failure
so to do To the casual observer it would
seem that there are some other powerful
reasons why the British air forces do not
attack German cities. One of those rea
sons may be that the British and their
allies need all the machines which can be
turned out in order TO carry on opera
tions on the actual battle front. Another
reason may be that a large squadron of
airplanes is needed for home defense,
Still another is that the German cities
are too far away from the present aero
plane bases in England to permit of eff
fective attack. Any one of these reasons
might be held to account for the failure
of the British to make reprisals How
ever. if the real reason is because of the
dislike of the British to engage in such
apparent barbarism as to attack an un
protected city the sooner they get over
that idea the quicker will the German
people come to realizing sense that
they have not won the war and can new
err win the war.

In the action of the Republicans of
Massachusetts in renominating Governor
Samuel w. Mccall for another term there
is, perhaps, hint of suggestion to some
other states, which have capable officials
in the executive chair, to maintain such
men in order to carry on the work of ad !
ministering the business of the state
during time of war. At any rate the
Republicans of Massachusetts did not
feel like swapping executives in a crit

JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC.

<Eiscount Motono, Japan's new foreign minister.
said at the opening Of the Diet yesterday that Japan
desires the Allies to recognize her new colonial pos
sessions-tbe Pacific islands which she wrested from
Germany. When Japan occupied these islands it
was with the announcement to the world that they
would not be permanently held. There is no ques-
ton Of japanese assurances this point. Premier
Count Okuma indicated plainly that the islands
being seized part of Japans campaign to help
her allies, not as scheme Of permanent conquest.
But Japanese intention on this point seems to have
changed and the whole course of events in this con-
nection is probably part-and a very typical part
-of Japanese imperial diplomacy. The Mikado's
empire is struggling to burst the bonds which mar
row geographical restrictions have forced upon it,
Korea was absorbed then came, the invasions Of
Formosa, Manchuria and Mongolia. Shut out of
North America, the japanese are eolonizng rapidly
in South America the passenger lists of steamers
passing through Honolulu show. The Pacific islands
offer om-though not a great deal-to relieve the
oyerplus of japanese population her little islands
She must do two things-relieye this terrible pres
sure Of population, and build up huge manufacture
ing industries to maintain her swarming population
at home. And all of Japans secret diplomacy is bent
to achieve these ends.
