Russia's Marach

Teichiro Sakanami, writing in the
May issue of "Great Japan, THINKS
that Russia will not give up the tradl-
tjonal policy of imperial expansion, no

cal constitution Of Russia will not per,

Russian people. In the eys of most OF
them, the Gar and the Almighty are

Far Eastern power like Japan to
watch the progress of political Russia
with the keenest attention and be pre-
pared for almost any development
In short, the thinking half of Japan
looks upon the Russian revolution with
more apprehension and dread than con-
fdence and enthusiasm. And, withal

Trials Ahead
'Of Russia

The United States has succeeded bet
ter than any other democratic state be-
cause the founders had had their train
ing in old England. France had a good deal
of trouble, intelligent, industrious and
gifted as the people were, before the
foundation of her republic was made
solid. Mexico and the Latin-Amerlcan
republics tell the same tale. And IN
the light of history, Dr. Suyehiro
thinks that Russia has long stretch
Of political tribulations before her.
Dr.. Ukita, editor of the "Taiyo''
writing in May, 1917, takes an en-
trely opposite view. TO him the re-
cent revolution speaks elocuently OF
the greatness of the Russian people.
They were hard pressed by the Ger
mans at their frontier, "nevertheless
they dared to carry out the lev0lu-
tion" he declares. Rather than
foster autocracy. they risked tempo
rarv defeat at the hands of the Germans
that they might overthrow the Czar'
They hated autocracy much more
bitterly than defeat on the heid.
They may attain n nopier
measure of liberty, equality, fraternity
than that Of the French revolution
This writer thinks the effect OF the
| Russian revolution on the United
States is tremendous, for the reason
that while the Gar was on the throne
there we're people in the United States
who disliked the idea of siding with
the greatest of all autocratic powers IN
the world. The revolution sweeps away
| this obstacle completely.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-12
A Lesson and
A Warning

This would also make the characters
of tbe Entente Allies much more homo
geneous -arraying against the frus-
Sian autocracy practically all the more
important democratic powers OF the
world. DR.. Ukita places much vaiue on
the Russian revolution as at once a
lesson and a warning to the autocratic
and bureaucratic states of the world
DR.. Shin Ninagawa, whose name ap-
nears on the tables of contents OF the
leading periodicals in Japan. THINKS
that the effect of the revolution VIII
make itself deeply felt in the future
foreign policy Of Russia. Now that tne
people Of Russia have come into power
Il is more than likely that the aggres-
sive imperialism of the autocratic
rfcime will be completely and radi-
cally changed. 1t would lessen the pos
sibiljtv of an Anglo-Russian collision
along the Indian frontier. lie con.
cludes: "As for Japan, ! believe tha'
her relations with the Russian ne
nublic would greatly increase IN
friendliness. They would work from
now on much more smoothly together
in the solution of the Far Eastern
nroblems."

CThe best known japanese writer in America)
Up to now the world has been in
terested only in what Russia thought
about Japan. There has been change.
For the first time since Ivan the
Terrible drove the robber and the out
law Yermak beyond the Ural and the
criminal stole the empire Of Siberia
for his Car, the world is interested in
what Japan thinks of Russia.
The Russian revolution made a pro-
found impression upon Japan. Japan
watches China first of all, then Russia.
They are the two nightmares of the
Island Empire.
DR.. Shigeo Suyehiro, one of the
widely known publicists of Japan and
no obscure student of international
politics and finance, takes a dark view
of the newborn Russian republic. He
thinks that the republican form of gov
| ernment is perhaps the most difficult
TO maintain in order and efficiency of
all political organizations known. A
high degree of popular intelligence is
absolutely essential for its success.
DR.. Suyehiro said in 1911 that at
least 100000 common schools were
needed in Russia, and she had only
10000. He thinks the ratio holds
good to-day. In Petrograd there were
forty-seven who could not read and
write out of 100 people above the age OF
nine; in Moscow, sixty; in Warsaw,
sixty-one; in Kovno. ffty-eight, and in
Russia as a whole, seventy-nine out OF
every hundred.
Compare this with Japan or France.
There are nine out of 100 Japanese
above ten years who can neither read
nor write; in France fourteen out OF
100

Effect of Revolt
On the War

DR.. Genhachi Mizukuri considers the
Russian revolution and its political
outcome unfortunate for the war sit
uation in general and for the Russian
people in particular. Germans would
have their own way with Russia under
the prevailing political conditions OF
the Russian people. Germany would
not have the slightest trouble in over
whelming Russia if she deemed that
measure necessary. In DR.. Mizukurl ;
judgment, the republican form Of gov
ernment would lessen the offensive
power of Russia under the most Ia
vorable circumstances. Under the con

All this, OF course, will result in a

alliance, whose primal end was to pre-

FIND NUMEROUS
EXCUSES FOR NOT
GOING TO FRONT
Imagination of Registrants Taxed
to Discover Reasons for
Avoiding Service

Fargo, N. D., June 13-When 1t
comes to finding reasons for not 60
ing to war, in other words claiming
exemption from the army draft, GER
tain North Dakotans must be given
credit for originality. Reports from
over the state indicate that some of
the excuses given were the result OF
careful thought and study.
For instance there was a man in
Fargo who insisted that he could not
20 to war because he had planted a
war garden and no one could tend
it but himself. Questioned, he ad-
mitted the garden contained only a
few stalks of beans and some rad
ishes and onions.
Then there was the fellow who
claimed exemption because he was en-
gagged to a girl who was "consci-
entious objecter" and inasmuch as he
was to be her better half he said,
it did not seem right for him to go
to war against her wishes.
There were several men who asked
to be excused because they belonged
to a church which frowned upon war.
Asked to what church they beloged
they were puzzled for an ansWer-and
finally admitted the attempt at eva
sion. One fellow, it is said, boldly
told the registrars that he would reg
lister but there was not much use, for
he had just been dismissed from the
army because of his health. Upon
questioning it was discovered the
"army" to which he belonged was the
Salvation Army.
blood makes me SICK" asserted
one man who evidently had visions
of CORY combat on the battle front.
"My trigger finger is numb" stated
another who apparently wished to
evade the first line trenches. Several
men requested that they be placed
in the quartermaster' department, be-
lieving, no doubt, that even from ~
centimeter guns the men who ration
the army are comparatively safe.
And then there was the wholly or
iginal man whose claim for exemp-
ton was that he was "the only barber
