After the Jurors had been sworn in
Mrs. Gilligan lost control of herself

the trial actually began, however, she
was quite composed.
The states first witness was George

in good health and that his parents had
died we'll along in years. In response
to objections by Benedict VI. Holden,

From The Tribune Bureau

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. June 2l.-The recent eX-
change of representations between the
United States and Japan concerning
China continues to be the subject mat
ter Of serious comment in official CIR
cles. II is generally believed that ia
pan grasped the opportunity TO assert
her position in the Orient and to re-
buke the United States. feeling conn
dent that she might with entire safety
risk displeasing this government.
In British circles inquirers are re-
minded that Britain sided with Japan,
rather than with the United States, In
refusing to indorse and initiate the
action Of this country in advising
China TO compose her internal
troubles. In view of the secrecy with
which the State Department conducted
the negotiations, and the publicity
Great Britain and Japan have given
to them, it was believed that England
and Japan both desired the world to
know OF their disagreement with Amer
lea.

ENGAGEMENTS and the possibility OF a
wer with America. is extended in an
article by Dr. Sgyehiro Shigeo, Of the
Kyoto University, in the "Gaiko Jlho'
Diplomatic Review, which he con
cludes as follows:
"As in the past. Japan's policy must
be formulated in accordance with the
principle Of preserving China's terri
torial integrity. If Japan will pursue
a pacific line of policy, all the suspi-
cions and fears entertained by China,
America and other powers concerning
her will be dispelled, with the result
that Sino-Japanese friendship will be
realized and the possibility Of a Jap
anese- American war will be removed.
"The main reason" he writes. why
estrangnment exists between Japan and
other powers, especially America ana
China. * because OF the aggressive
principles constantly prOpagated in tins
country in recent years. and, moreover,
Japan's policy toward China has been
far from proper.
Pledged TO Give Equal Opportunities
Japan has given her solemn pledge
to respect the independence Of China,
the preservation of her territorial IN
teeritv and equal opportunity for the
commercial and industrial interests OF
the powers. This pledge is included
in her alliance with Great Britain and
in her agreements with America. France
and Russia. and consequently the Tadl-
cal principle of her diplomacy toward
China is already firmly laid down.
ut is superhuous to point out the
impossibility of the theory favoring
the annexation of Chinese territory
IL might not be Impossible for Japan
TO subdue that country with her army
ana navy. but TO govern a nation OF
500, 100000 people, who have dli-
ferent civilization, and dlnerent ian
guage, ideas, habits and customs, IS
task next TO impossible.

Of Manchuria and Mongolia appears
