II is not only to play the hateful part

sity? Is Japan to turn herself into
Mecca of Russian hatred just for them
1t is not only to play the hateful part
of villain for time. She will turn
herself into an object of Russian OBJ
loquy for all times to come. 1t means
the creation of fresh enemy country
for Japan. Nothing could very we'll
be more senselessly ungrateful than
that. Can it be possible that
the Entente Allies mean to turn Japan
into a mere stimulant for Russia? Will
our government consent to any such
programme of the Allies? 1t
is impossible foS us to deny the fact
that the Russian attitude toward Japan
has cooled considerably since the re-
cent revolution. If, in addition to the
present cold and cooling relations be-
tween the two countries, a wide i'm
preston were created that the Entente
Allies are turning Japan into club TO
threaten Russia, Russian friendship
toward Japan would fall far below
zero. And how is japan to explain all
this away?"
Feels Friendly to Russia
The people who talk of Japan jump
ing on Russia the moment she goes
back on the Entente Allies do not
understand just how much the Russian
friendship means to Japan. To be
sure, it does not mean quite as much
as that of China, for example. But
next to China comes Russia. Russia is
quite as closely situated to japan as
the United States when all things are
considered. Russia, to be sure, is not
as good a customer Of Japan as the
United States; never will likely be, at
least for years. But she is much closer
to Japan geographically; she has not
closed her doors against the Japanese
people as has the United States. With
Japan, her Russian relations are in
fnitely more vital than those Of France,
and in more respect than one even than
those Of England. The very idea OF
Japan sacrificing her friendly relations
with Russia to accommodate the con-
veniences Of either France or England
Is utterly out of the question.
II Russia were to join Germany as an
active ally Of the Central Powers, all
will be changed, of course, for that
sort of combination will result in
bringing about the same sort of con.
ditions in the Far East which existed
at the time of the Russo-Japanese War.
Japan will not stand for that for a
moment. She would fight now as then.
with all her might. to save herself.
But, of course, that is quite another
story.

Expected Whitewash Failed

Many people sneeringly predicted
when the investigation began that it
would certainly result in a whitewash.
But the progress Of the Cruger inves-
tigation upset all such predictions.
There were no loose ends or vague
conjectures.
The first thing that strikes you about
Commissioner Wallstein is the inter-
mittent struggle between his stand-pat
cast of countenance and the contantly
thwarted smile trying to break through.
Now and then the Commissioner drops
a drol word or two, with quizzical
look through his glasses, and you think
the smile has won. But the instant
you smile back in sympathy the Wall
stein smile skurries away from the
corners Of the mouth and the eyes and
the face of Wallstein the inquisitor
confronts you.

with many people to say that you can't
find native New Yorker interested IN
the important thin rs of the city. The
humorists have callei the roll on active
men many times and concluded that the
native New Yorker did not exist among
them. Our town does assimilate all
that Is best Of every town, but still
there are quite a few on the job on
Gotham soil who first saw the light
here.
Lack of System by Police
ain the Cruger investigation it was
my constant mental query before
series of questions was put: What
should the ordinary common sense OF
the ordinary detective have discerned
and revealed in running down this mys-
terry?
"The derelictions as to failure Of rec
ord or report of the case involved no
mental deduction, Of course. They
were very plain derelictions Of system
or lack Of system. Derelictions of
disobedience, we'll say. But the put
ting of two and two together as to who
might have murdered Ruth Cruger and
as to where her body might have been
concealed-was it a problem that the
ordinary detective should have solved?
/ became convinced that it was, and
tried to formulate my questions during
the investigation so that even the dere-
lict detective might see for himself that
he should have unravelied the mystery.

the Cruger case-well, it's too absurd
to even deny the whitewash hint. / ex-

"Why, do you suppose that John
Purroy Mitchell ever laid any stress,

Japan Resents Being

Russia in Entente
Appreciates Muscovite Friend
ship Over That of United
States, Says Writer
By ADACHI KINNOSUKE

Japan resents the suggestion that the
Entente Allies are going to use her as
a club dangling over the unprotected
head of hapless Russia. The "Osaka
Mainichi," for example, does not mince
words or diplomacy over it at all:
"The idea of the Entente Allies turn
ing Japan into one effective factor to
make Russia behave" it says in its
leading editorial of the issue of June
20, which is over two and half col
umns long, sis astounding. The idea Of
using Japan to persuade Russia Of the
unwisdom of her joining Germany and
her Central European allies because
Japan is in position to do and is quite
able to do something drastic to Russia
unless she holds her faith true to her
former allies is something beyond all
polite phrasings. II simply means that
the Entente Allies are going to turn
Japan into the one material threat over
Russia. 1t means the brewing of
trouble between Japan and Russia. In
credible, yes-but II the reports be
true the Entente Allies are doing this
thing in all the light Of day and before
all the world.

SPECIAL SESSION INEXPENSIVE

The present special session of the
legislature, convened by Governor
Gunter solely for war purposes and
war legislation, will establish a rec
crd as being the least expensive in
the history of Colorado. That fact
lis known right now.
Every department of state has con-
tnbuted one or more employees, such
as Stencgrarhers, clerks and watch
men. These will do the work of the
session, but they will draw only their
salary frcm the departments to which
they are regularly attached. Their
services will not cost the legislature
a penny. Representatives and sena-
tors are no longer on per diem, but
receive salary for the whole bien-
nial term regardless of the number
OF days they are in session. Thus
the only expense of the session will
be comparative trifle for printing.
Under the governors call there can
only be a half dozen or so of bills,
and as the record books, blanks and
stationery of the regular session are
serving IN the special, even these
printing hills will be held to de-
cided minimum.
Employees were drafted from the de-
partments of Secretary of State No

and Mrs. Bradford, superintendent of
public instruction. Then draft raids
were made on the board of heakh, In
