How do the ants view the activities Of the abebodied

japanese Admit
Admiration for
German Militarism
Adopted Teuton Science
and Philosophy as Basis
of Modernism

Frankly discussing what he calls the
japanese sympathy with Germany, Pro-
fessor NJ. Anesaki, Japanese exchange
professor to Harvard University in
l9l3-1sl5, declares in magazine ar
ticle that although technically Japan
is at war with Germany, feeling OF
admiration for Germany is quite gen
eral among the Japanese people, writes
the Toxic correspondent Of The Asso-
ciated Press.
This, he declares, is in significant
contrast with the situation in the
United States, where anti-German feel
ing is almost universal. How did Ger
man influence gain such an sscendancy
in japan? he asks. First Of all, through
Germany's victory in 1870, which IN
duced tn. japanese military authorities
to adopt German models in place Of the
French. which had been followed pre-
viously; and, secondly, through the
adaptation of German constitution and
JURISPRUDENCE found by the late Prince
Ito to be more congenial TO Japanese
needs.
After German Jurisprudence came
German philosophy and science, whose
influence Germanized the Japanese I'M
perial University to the extent that IN
the '9Os going abroad" among stu
dents meant going to Germany" Pro-
fessor Anesaki continues:
Japanese pro-Germanism is also due
TO other reasons. The German desire
or need TO have place in the sun IS
shared by many japanese leaders IN
politics and industry. According 70
these men the claims Of Germany as 70
expansion in various directions are le-
climate or urgently necessary. Some
Japanese are unfortunately inclined 10
look askance at the pleas of the Entente
Powers regarding German atrocities,
and fail to be impressed by them be-
cause Germany has done pretty much
the same as some other powers ala once
toward US they say"
The professor remarked that, TOO
ignorant of the real situation, even geo
graphically. the average Japanese has
a great. IL vague, admiration OF Ger
many's tenacity in the war, and this IS
a strong point in his pro-German SEN
timent. OF course, the brilliant defence
OF Verdun by the French, the growing
strength of the British army, and the
signs Of German desperation have
worked change in current opinions.
Even the military men, the avowed pro-
Germans, are beginning TO recognize
some points OF opinion adverse to
theirs. but it should be remembered
that their pro-German expressions were
and are not for the sake Of the Ger
mans, but for the sake OF their own
prestige in japan. Having ldentlnea
their own interests and principles with
those of the German militarists they
have impressed the public with the
strength and necessity Of that mill
tarism and will not abandon their own
plea for the necessity OF mil Itar'sm IN
Japan.

over so proud-spirited race. In less
than two months William Of WED was
at loggerheads with his subjects, ana
was almost cut off from the rest OF the
kingdom in his capital of Durazzo,
which he had chosen in defiance Of the
advice Of those best qualified TO Judge.
He had spent the ten million francs
which Italy and Austria had advanced
him in stupid extravaganza, and these
powers when asked to give more turned
a deaf ear"
The plight Of William of Wied was
increased by the attempt Of his War
Minister, Essad Pacha, 70 become the
ruler of Albania. In addition 10 the
latter, at least four more pretenders
to, the Albanian throne appeared on the
scene in 1913 and 1914. The Rumanian
Prince Ghika; a wealthy wine mer-
chant who claimed descent from George
Castriota, the Albanian national hero;
another Castriota who resides in Ma
pies; and Pink Doda, Mirdite chief,
all sought the crown of Albania.
The world war took the worlds at
tention away from Albania for some
time. Prince William of Wied in dis
gust departed from its shores. In 1915
the Austrians and Bulgarians occupied

One day last month an internaton'
crime was committed in Europe. Inc
government Of certain power, with
out consulting its allies, assumed power
over neighboring country. The
power was Italy. The victim. Albania
The United States. which declared
itself against the annexation of nation
alities by foreign races, was too alb
sorbed in its own war preparations to
notice this aggression. Free Russia,
the chief advocate Of mo annexations
and no indemnities," was generally con-
sidered paralyzed and helpless. Only
in Britain and France did public opin-
ion react with sufficient force to ltaly's
action. But the British and French
governments still had to swallow the
bitter pill, as Italy was at the time
engaged in a military demonstration
against Austria.
General Ferrero, commanding the
Italian army occupying Albania, issued
on June 3, the festival day of the ltnl-
ian Constitution, the following proc
lamation:
To all the people of Albania.
To-day, June 3, 1917, the happy
anniversary OF the establishment of
Italian constitutional liberties, we,

commanding the Italian corps Of oc-
cupation In Albania by order of the
government Of King Victor Emman-
uel III, solemnly proclaim the unity

The heroic resistance offered py the

Thus in the fifteenth century, when inc
Turks flooded Europe, the Albaniahs;
led by George Castriots. overwnelmed
more than a score of Ottoman armies,
some of which were under the personal
command of the sultans. Though maj

decide freely as TO their interior
regime.
The Premier's words indicate plainly
that Albania's independence amounts
only TO autonomy. as II will allow the
Albanians to exercise authority over
their internal affairs only. However.
the Allies have by no means accepted
the Italian doctrine as yet. AS mat
ter of fact, they rebuked Italy by tax
ing action in Greece without consult
ing the Rome government. This was
fair return for Itsly's handling Of the
Albanian matter.
Furthermore. after the Greek affair
had been settled the Italians were
forced 70 evacuate Janina. This did
not end the Allied pressure on Italy
as Britain and France were IN their
turn forced by Russia TO adopt certain
new principles in their foreign poll
cies. The Russians ordered their
troops in Macedonia not to participate
in bringing about King Constsntlnes
abdication in favor of his son and MADE
the Balkan situation the cause for an
inter-Allied conference soon TO meet
in Paris or Petrograd.
At this conference free Russia will
have powerful influence. The success
full military operations IN Galicla
afford Russia an opportunity TO force
her views on her allies. The basic
principle in the stand of the new Rus
STA is that of on-annexation. There
certainly can be no serious dispute
that the Albanian case comes under the
head of annexation. Russia will not
countenance it, just as she will pro-
test vigorously against tho exchange
of kings in Greece when a Greek re-
public would have been more COM
patible with Allied aspirations.
Italy will consequently find that the
Albanian question cannot be settled oy
herself arbitrarily. II is purely and
clearly a question for the peace con-
ference TO decide. This conference
NAV appoint Italy the guardian OF Al
bania. But it is hardly likely: Inc
Albanians are strongly individuals
tic. They should be allowed to
devotion a civilization Of their own.
This could be accomplished If Albania
were 10 become an autonomous state
under the guidance and protectorate Of
all the European nations. An interna-
tionaI commission probably will take
the place of the Italian authorities
there at the conclusion OF the great
conflict
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-22
Even Italians
Oppose Action

Italy had little more right to declare
her protectorate over Albania than Brit
ain or France would have in annexing
Macedonia, where their troops are now
located. This was clear 10 the democ-
racies Of the Entente powers. Even IN
Italy the government was subjected TO
severe criticism, and for a while a
serious Cabinet crisis menaced that
country. The session of Parliament
scheduled to open early in the month
was postponed until June 20. The So
cialist leaders were actively campaign
ing against their governments impe-
realistic designs. The radical press was
unsparing in its condemnation OF what
il termed Italian Prussianism. But the
larger part of the people were behind
the Foreign Minister for his daring ex-
plot in Albania. And no essential
changes occurred in the ministry.
When Parliament met Premier Boselli
therefore considered himself firm
enough 10 make the following an
nounccment on the Albanian question::
The recent proclamation Of the
commander Of the Italian troops IN

rect possession of Valona and its

vital one for Italy. We recommend
the independence Of Albania IN con-
formity with the general principles
on which our alliances are founded,
and which have been recently so elo.
quently proclaimed by the United
States and by new Liberal Russia.
Italy in regard to Albania has no
other object than TO defend It against
any possible interference or intrigues
on the part of a third power. Italy
will guarantee to Albania the full
right TO dispose of herself as re-
CARDS internal affairs and will sup
mort her legitimate rights and inter
ests in the national assembly. The
movers meeting TO discuss the peace
treaty will have the general task OF
determining the precise boundaries

Makes Its Own
Power Supreme

The essence Of the above proclama-
tion. shorn OF its fowery phrases and
promises, is the fact that Italy, with
out the knowledge of the Allies, estab-
lished its supreme authority over AL
bania. To the Allies it came as
shock. To the Italian public II was
almost as sudden as to the rest OF
Europe. But most Of all was Greece
affected By the news. Both the Athens
and Salonica governments were thun-
derstruck By Italy's action. which was
soon followed by the occupation OF
Janina, a part Of Greece that was
once Albanian. The abdication Of King
Constantine and the reunion OF di-
vided Greece were partly the result OF
italian aggression in the Balkans. ana
- was due to Greek unity and the
awakening of democratic Russia tnat
