acceptance and enforcement of the
idea of economic union.
The organization was founded at
Brussels in 1914 just six weeks before
the war for the purpose of securing a
unif1cation of the International laws of
commerce, and the war has strength
ened it. 1t should be understood that
the organization does not propose to
disturb existing custom laws or tariffs,
but to unity and rearrange, in particu-
lar, the rates of railroads and of
steamship companies for international
commerce and to destroy arbitrary
rates established to favor certain
countries or classes of commerce. The

PROF. ANESAKI, SAYS
JAPS ADMIRE THE
GERMAN PEOPLE

Toxic, June 29.-Correspondence of
the Associated Press Frankly dis
cussing what he calls the Japanese
sympathy with Germany, Prof NJ
Anesaki, Japanese exchange profess
sor to Harvard University in 1913
1915, declares in magazine article
that although technically Japan is at
war with Germany, feeling of adj
mlration for Germany is quite gen.
eral among the Japanese people. This,
he declares, is a significant contrast
with the situation in the United States
where anti-G1man feeling is almost
universal. How did German influence
gain such an ascendency in Japan, he
asks First of all through Germany's
victory in 1870 which induced the
Japanese military authorities to adopt
German models in place of the French
which had been followed previously,
and, secondly, through the adaptation
of German constitution and jurispru-
dence found by the late Prince Ito to
be more congenial to Japanese needs.
After German jurisprudence, came
German philosophy and science whose
influence Germanized the Japanese
Imperial University to the extent that
in the nineties going abroad among
students meant "going to Germany"
Prof. Anesaki continued:
Japanese pro-Germanism is also
due to other reasons. The German
desire or need to have a place in the
sun is shared by many Japanese lead
srs in politics and industry. Accord
ing to those men, the claims of Ger
many as to expansion in various di-
rections are legitimate or urgently
necessary. Some Japanese are unfor-
tunately inclined to look askance at
the pleas of the Entente Powers re-
garding German atrocities and fail to
be impressed by them because Ger
many has done pretty much the same
as some other powers did once to-
wards U.S., they say
The professor remarked that too
ignorant of the real situation, even
geographically, the average Japanese
has a great. if vague, admiration of
Germanys tenacity in the war, and
this is a strong point in his pro-Ger-
man sentiment. OF course the bril-
liant defense of Verdun by the
French, the growing strength of the
British army, and the signs of Ger
man desperation have worked a
change in current opinions. Even the
military men, the avowed pro-Ger-
mans, are beginning to recognize some
points of opinion adverse to theirs,
but it should be remembered that
their pro- German expressions were
and are not for the sake of the Ger
mans but. for the sake of their own
prestige in Japan. Having identified
their own interests and principles
with those of the German miitarists
they have impressed the public with
the strength and, necessity of that
militarism and will not abandon their
own plea for the necessity Of militar-
ism in Japan. Prof. Anesaki con-
cluded:
Therein lies the danger for Japan
in politics, education and social life.
Pro-Germanism is a disease in Japan
and the only remedy lies in convinc-
ing the Japanese people of the fulfill
ity of the German methods. The only
way to do this is for the Allies to be
finally successful not only in military
and naval engagements but in social,
moral, educational reconstruction to
be achieved brilliantly after the
war;

On the Western front, along the

latest German efforts were made in as

French also threw back a strong at

Demonstration of Red Cross Trainins

Demonstration of He'd Cross Training.
The Baptist Church vestry in West
Derby was filled by an interested and
enthusiastic audience last Friday aft
ernoon to witness the demonstration
of the mem bers of the Red Cross nurse
training class for older ladies which
has been under instruction of Mrs
Walter Human, registered nurse,
for, the past month.
A few weeks ago a few of the ladies
of West Derby, feeling that they would
like to do their, bit, organized what
is known as the Red Cross nurse
| training class for older ladies, hold
ing meetings for class instruction each
Monday and Friday afternoon in the
Baptist Church vestry, which has been
donated by the osciety. Mrs. Walter
Human. a registered nurse Of many
years practical experience, has had
the personal direction of the class, and
at the demonstration her thorough
and conscientious work was manifest
ed, as well as the evidence of the hard
and painstaking work of each pupil,
who performed the part assigned in
faultless manner. The class has
had instruction in emergency nursing
both for the home and in the COM
munity.
The existing conditions of the coun-
try today are educating the people to
higher degree Of usefulness They
are becoming awakened to the fact
that upon each individual rests a GER
tain responsibility that must be borne,
and it. is these conditions that has
given birth to the countless organiza-
tons which today. are doing SO much
to relieve the suffering caused by the
great struggle now in progress. The
person who does his or her part in
helping along these lines is showing
the same amount of patriotism in
proportion to the work done as the
man in the trenches. All honor to the
Red Cross or any other organization
which will bring the people to a sense
of their duty.
