JAPAN BALKS.

The recent japanese mission to this

sion. Its repeated assurances that
Japan was thoroughly In earnest In
prosecuting the war against German
militarism, and was resolved on the
fullest cooperation with the United
States and our allies. were taken at
their face value Americans were con
WINGED that the traditional Japanese
peril" was a myth Of German manu-
facture, that Japan's intentions regard
ing the United States were genuineiy
friendly, that the two countries were
Joined by new ties of understanding
and mutual confidence. and would pro-
ceed as allies with the joint task OF de-
feating Germany.
Now, all at once, news has come from
Japan tending to disturb this fine I'M
preston. First came an announce
ment that Japan could not be expected.
under any circumstances to send any
troops 10 Europe That did not cause
Americans any great concern, though
Il was unexpected enough to awaken
surprise.
Then the Japanese government an
nounced that negotiations with the Uni
ted States, with regard to shipping ar
rangements. had been broken off.
Those arrangements had been regard
ed here as practically settled. They
contemplated the raising OF our EN-
barge on steel shipments to Japan, CIV
ing that country large quantity OF
steel plates for shipbuilding. in return
for which Japan was to release con-
siderable tonnage Of her merchant
shipping for use in our transatlantic
trade.
II looked fair and reasonable. But
now japan refuses the ships, explain
ing that her assistance to her allies
cannot reach the extent Of infringing
upon the necessities Of her national ex-
istence." She says that the arrange
ment proposed would interfere too SER
iously with ther European trade
We had not expected mere mercan'
tile considerations to have such weight
with japan, at a time when the desti'
nies of all the world powers hang IN
the balance. This doesn't seem to har'
monize with the assurances so repea'
tedly given us by Baron Ishii. head OF
the diplomatic mission, that Japan
could be counted on to make any sac
rifice necessary for the common cause.
Americans don't want to revert to
their former suspicious attitude toward
Japan. For that reason they hope the
Japanese government will either ex'
plain it's sudden change OF front more
satisfactorily or adopt more liberal
policy.

JOB FOR CONSCIENTIOUS
DIRECTORS.

Colonel Roosevelt. with his custo'
mary ingenuity, comes forward with
suggestion for the utilization OF con
scientious objectors" for war purposes
without hurting their consciences.
"If a man does not want to JOIN tne
army" he says, because he doesh
want to kill anybody, then wouid re-
spect his conscience by putting MN oh
a mine sweeper"
That would surely be a congeniai
task for an honest enemy Of violence
and bloodshed, because he would be
saving lives instead Of destroying them.
incidentally. it would provide good
test Of any pacifist's sincerity. 1t would
show whether Colonel Roosevelt is
right In classifying conscientious on'
iectors" as those whose consciences
will not permit them to go where they
are likely to get shot"

! bring forth.

heath the tops of the hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hard-worked airplanes drift homeward crossing the evening sky like black specks on a purple cloth and landing with deep droning on the clipped grass, lame and weary from long afternoons work over the lines.
 The days work is finished; reports are handed in, and the pilots sauntcr down to their mess-tent among the trees. The mechanics appear, wheel the machines into their respective hangars, and the nights work is be- gun.
 It is seventeen miles to the she'll holes of No-Man's Land, and all the horrors of war The long white road, thick with the dust of transport, is silent The fiat aerodrome is in dark ness but the hangars, looming black against the evening sky, are bright within. There is much to be done. Mazes of wires must be overhauled; {; many must be replaced or tautened. The enemy aircraft artillery has been active and some of the planes bear witness of it's work The canvas wings of one machine are riddled and need long and patient attention before it will be fit for service again. On an other, the flying struts must be re, newed. On another, the wings are out of shape, the result of straining ma noeuvers in aerobatic fighting.
 The whole means a hard seven hours work for the entire staff of mechanics. They settle down to it as a matter of routine. Every time a machine comes back from the lines it has to be overhauled, perhaps dis mantled. New gadgets must be fitted, inc anpine reDaired and cleaned Air . planes are after all very delicate bits of mechanism and need continual at tention. Without it they are useless, even dangerous. The accuracy of hun dreds of measurements, the trust worthiness of hundreds of parts, are essential to good flying and reliabil- ity, and just as much depends on these factors as on the skill of the pilot.
 The airplane mechanic doesn't share the dangers of the field or the hard ships of the infantryman or artillery man, but he has endless work, and a very heavy responsibility. When there is heavy air fighting he must frequent ly work all day and all night, and woe betide the pilot if he should skimp any of his work. Upon his shoulders rests the strength of the squadron and it's efficiency.
 The officer in charge of the aero drome during the night hours is known as the Orderly Officer" Warmly clad to keep out the chilIs of the night, he walks around the busy sheds and hangars, now and then offering a word of advice or encouragement, but al ways with an ear for the telephone bell, for at any moment orders may come through for night bombing or the warding off of some hostile aircraft Such orders are very rare, but ey- erything is ready for them when they come.
 The work in the hangars is so ar ranged that the steeds appointed for the next days work shall be ready an hour before dawn. As the first rays of the sun light up the aerodrOme, the machines are wheeled out on the "Tar- mac" oiled and attuned for the morn ing's flight
