JAPANESE ADMIRE : GERMAN PEOPLE,
 SAYS PROFESSOR
Despite Technically at War, Orientals Have Sympathy
 For Prussians.

Tokio, June 25.-Frankly discussing l,what he calls the Japanese sympathy with Germany, Professor M. Anesak1, i Japanese exchange professor to liar ward university in 1913-1915, declares lin a magazine article that although technically Japan is at war with Ger many a feeling of admiration for Germany is quite general among the Japanese people. This, he declares, IS significant contrast with the sltua- l ton in the United States where anti German feeling is almost universal How did German influence gain such an ascendency in Japan, he asks. First of all through German 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 con- stitution and jurisprudence found by the late Prince Ito to be more congen- ial 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 meet going to Germany" Professor Anesakl contlnued:
 Japanese pro-Germanism Is also due to other reasons. The German de- sire or need to have place in the sun is shared by many Japanese lead CTS in politics and industry. According to these men the claims of Germany as to expansion in various directions are legitimate or urgently necessary. Some Japanese are unfortunately in clined to. look askance at the pleas of the entente powers regarding Ger man atrocities and fail to be impressed by them because Germany has done pretty much the same as some other powers did once towards us,' they say"
 The professor remarked that too Ignorant of the real situation, even geographically, the average Japanese has a great, if vague, admiration of lGermany's tenacity in the war, and this is 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 German desper- ation have worked change in cur rent opinions. Even the military men, the avowed pro-G Germans, are begin ming to recognize some points of opin- ion adverse to theirs, but it should be remembered that their pro- GermalS expressions were and are not for the sake of the Germans but for the sake of their own prestige in Japan. Hav- ling identified their own interests and principles with those of the German lmilitarists they have impressed the public with the strength and necessity of that militarism and will not aban- don their own plea for the necessity of millitarism in Japan. Professor Anesaki concluded:
 Therein lies the danger for Japan in politics, education and social life.
 Pro- -Germanism is a disease and the only remedy lies in convincing the Japanese people of the futility of the German methods. The only way to do this is for the allies to be finally sue cessful not only in military and naval engagements but in social moral, edu- cational reconstruction to be achieved brilliantly after the war.
