tim safe even from his friends while
you are making good your own at
tack. OF course this does not deny the
former aggressions Of Germany and
Russia and others, but it does pre-
sent the Chinese view that the latest
and most dangerous is that of Japan
herself.
1t Is entirely Just to say, however,
that this theory Of paramountcy in
China, in view of the current concila-
tory attitude Of the japanese govern
ment probably does not possess all
the jagged edges endangering the
worlds peace In the future which just
now we must not fail to see and note.
The war is a powerful solvent of re-
dictionary forces of all kinds. Japans
diplomats must know, and none bet
ter than Baron Iehil that the days Of
Independent aggression at the ex-
pense of weak nations possessing a
great economic future are numbered.
Such a policy is against every principle
to which the Allies have consecrated
this war. The worlds economic com
petition, fruitful creator of endless
strife and leading directly to this
great eliminating tragedy must be
relaxed and systematized and con-
sciously organized. Japan must al
ready know, late events seem to in
dictate that she is beginning to real
ize, that she must play a common part
in this vast accommodation; it may
we'll be leading part. She must al
ready know that a China from which
the threat of European aggression has
been removed will provide a far bet
ter atm osphere for her own security
and development than China, once
more bristling with rivalries, of which
| Japan's "paramountcy' would be the
| most provocative of all. She must
know, too, that the initiative toward
| accomplishing such a world agree
ment lies most f1ttingly in the hands
of this nation. Is it to be too san
gulne to hope that the Ishii mission
will abandon the sinister ignis fatuus
OF paramountcy and join hands with
us, conceiving China as world prob
lem, in initiating the machinery which
will give her a world guarantee of
security In the light of the new diplo-
macy? A secure an stable China, not
| a China dominated by another. but
| a China free and self-governing, is the
| best guarantee in the world Of per-
manent peace between America and

the richest cards of the present Grand
Circuit meeting was raced here yes
tcrday, and before the $4,000 in
purses was distributed the spectators
saw some wonderful trotting miles
and two worlds records hung up.
Miss Bertha Dillon, owned by A. B.
Coke, of Paoli, Pa. won the American
Horse Breeders futurity for three
year-old trotters in the fastest three
heats ever raced by horses of her age
and any sex. She also equaled the
worlds three-year- trotting record
of S.O2ia. now jointly held by Peter
Nolo and herself. and broke the three
year-old trotting filly record, made
here last week by The Real Lady, at
2.04A. Miss Bertha Dillon trotted
the last half of her great mile of
5E15 seconds, considerable slowed up.
so far ahead was she from the nearest
competitor.

stake from 2.O5A to 2.O4l4. Lu

first heat to Colleen before he squared

Straight Sail had the better of

lady was the only favorite that failed

started
