WASHINGTON, u. c., Aug. Is
When the japanese war mission ar
rives In this country. the best and
widest Nipponese diplomatic brains
will be pitted against Uncle Sam In
one OF the greatest bargaining
matches in history. Upon the out.
come will largely depend not only
the future OF hitherto troubled rela.
lions between the United States and
Japan. but the stabiliring OF the
Russian war front, the greater par
ticipation OF Italy in the war. the
circumvention OF the German U-boat
campaign. and. possibly. the very
decision OF the war itself
The Japanese will have two great
trump cards 10 play. They have a
merchant marine OF nearly $500. 900
tons. and q magnincently trained
army OF more than 1000, 900 men.
The laps have made money out
OF the war. so much so they are
now a creditor instead or debtor
nation They are willing 10 con
tinue making money by selling am
munition and artillery TO Russia
But they want something more
than money for their ships and their
troops They would like 10 have a
settlement with this country over
the land and immigration questions
In the Pacific coast states. And
even more important from their
viewpoint. they would like 20 have
Uncle Sam agree 10 their having a
free hand with China
The American policy in China has
been the open door II Japan Is
given her way. the door will not
only be closed. II will be shut with
a reverberating bang.
Every impulse OF the American
Statesmen will be TO insist upon the
open door But Just about that time
European statesmen. representing
our Allies, will point out what ia
pan can do for the cause. Shs
can send several hundred thousand
men into Russia by the Siberian line

 ID HER ALLIES

TOKIO.-(Special)- )-one of the most striking phenomena that the war has created as regards Japan is her quick shifting from debtor to a creditor nation. Since the Russo Japanese War the world has got ac- customed to thinking of the Japanese Empire as borrowing country. Now the tables are turned and Great Brit ain which loaned so much money to Japan in the past has actually come here for a loan.
 Tue recent Notation in Japan of a British loan for lOO,OOO,OO0 yen or $5O,OOO,OOO was a great success. A few days after the lists were opened to the public the syndicate which had the issue in charge advertised that no more subscriptions would be received The incident showed that there M plenty of available capital in Japa" The success of the British loan is to be attributed not only to Japanese confidence in British resources but also to the preference by the Japanese public for short term loans. The English bonds are redeemable in three years.
 It is pointed out here that the fin ancial assistance just rendered to Great Britain is only a part of what has been done for the Entente Allies since the outbreak of the war. It is calculated that Japanese investments in bonds and treasury notes issued by the Entente since the beginning Of hostiities total about 515,OOO,OOOO yen or about $257,OOO,OOO, ex- elusive of the recent British loan.
