moment.

may select the point where the blow
IS to fall. That advantage as the his
tory Of war has taught us is one that
quickly passes and brings us quickly

in reserve will be ready TO intervene
Before that moment comes Hinden-

Troops Ready For Counter Attacks.

London, March 26.-German agents
are spreading alarmst reports among
the civil population about the battle
zone in northern France, according to
Reuters correspondent. These per-
sons are being dealt with summarily
when caught. The correspondent con-
tinues:
"The spirit and determination Of the
British troops is excellent. The enemy
losses have been enormous. The sit
uation in many places remains con-
fused which is natural where fighting
has assumed the character Of war
movement more than at any time
since the Marne."
Berlin Celebrates Victory"
Berlin decorated Monday and church
bells were ringing in the celebration
of the success on the western front
according to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen.
The Daily Mail correspondent on the
British front points out that in less
than three days that the operations
have changed from a war Of fixed po-
sitions back to a war of movement. as
was the case in the first months Of the
struggle.
"As I reached the hill for observa-
tions,'' he writes, Il came suddenly on
a magnificent sight. Down the plain.
between two ridges, was large camp.
The men were just finishing their
breakfast. Then I saw tanks coming
over the hill and waddling down into

AMERICA AND JAPAN.
New Republic.)

America is utterly opposed to the occupa-
ton Of Eastern Siberia by Japan. False
witnesses may testify to division of Amer
lean opinion on the subject; they may swear
themselves black all through that dissent
from Japanese designs is only Washing
ton policy. The Japanese themselves must
be shrewd enough to know that Washington
is merely giving expression to a popular
feeling that is very intense, very general.
America is for free Russia and against auto
cratic Berlin, and would bitterly resent any
act on the part of friend and ally that
seemed to give point to the German insinua-
ton that free Russia has no sincerer sup
port than that which Germany, in pursuance
of her selfish interest, is willing to accord.
But Japan wants to 90 into Siberia What
if American opposition should give her NOR
tai offense and tend to detach her from the
allied cause? 1t is this fear that gives rise
to whatever support the Siberian project has
received in Amreica or among the liberals of
England and France. TO acknowledge it is
quite out tof keeping with allied affrmations
Of confidence in the integrity Of Japanese in
tentions. Can Japan not be counted on to
remain loyal unless she is permitted to pur-
sue her own designs, whether these appear
polite or impolitic, legitimate or illegitimate
to her allies? For our part, we shall con-
tinue to believe that with Japan as with our.
selves, the common cause is paramount. But
beyond this we believe that japanese states
manship is intelligent, and will not out Of a
sense Of national pique sweare from it's Cb-
legation to protect the permanent interests
of the japanese nation. And it is to the
permanent interest Of Japan to remain on
terms of amity with the nations composing
the anti-German alliance. and especially with
the United States. This conclusion we base,
not upon moral consideration alone, but
upon the solid facts Of geography and econ

tons between the two countries before they

down thru the Valley of Death and charged

tons in each of these battles it was of no
avail that these Negro soldiers fought like
white veterans. The mill Of death was grind

the shores of Asia and over the Pacific, and
Japan can make this trade chiefly her own.
Japan can become in the twentieth century
Pacific what England became in the nine
teenth century Atlantic
But all this is dependent upon Japan's
managing to live in amity with the western
world, especially America and England The
essential problem is one of drawing wealth
to Eastern Asia by the nstrumentalitv of
Japanese commerce and industry. If East
ern Asia were to be made closed economic
system, it would remain poor and backward
for generations. And so long as it is poor
and backward there is danger that the
profits of developing it will lure the western
nations to an imperialstic competition with
Japan. II Japan is to achieve the role of
greatness that geography has marked out for
her, she will wisely make haste to develop
her industrial and trading wealth. She will
pursue policies that disarm suspicion and
circumvent any movement in America to-
ward prohibitive duties on imported luxur-
les or toward the creation of heavily sub
sidized American merchant marine in the
Pacific. When Japan is older, economically
she may be able to meet discrimination with
discrimination. For the present, however,
she cannot do this
STILL would not territorial acquisitions in
China and Siberia offer fair compensation
for any commercial losses a resentful west
ern world might inhict upon Japan? Terri
toral acquisitions have permanent value to
nation only as they improve her strategic
position or increase her commerce. Whether
the possession Of Eastern Siberia would i'm
prove Japan S strategic position is, at least,
doubtful. "A blow aimed at Japan from

possessions from the Russian hinterland
Eastern Siberia might indeed offer vacant
lands for an overflow of Japanese popuIa-
ton, but the Japanese are not people who
take naturally to the settlement of vacant
lands under subarctic sky. But suppose
Japan actually succeeded in opening chan
mel for the outflow Of population to the
mainland, what would be the permanent
gain? No modern state has ever thus won
relief from overpopulation. Emigration
amounts to nothing more than dipping in
termittently from flowing stream
1t is the experience of the west that no
relief from general poverty is to be had
through emigration, either to alien lands or
to settlement colonies. The one possible
method of raising the national standard Of
life consists in the development of COM
merce and industry. Following this method,
England grew rich; so long as she followed
this method, Germany, without settlement
colony in the world, gained more rapidly
IN wealth than any other European nation
BY the same method Japan may raise herself
to the western level of wealth in one gener-
alton, or at most in two. viii she repu-
date this method to follow the ways of an
Imperialism that has brought the western
world to the verge of ruin? If she does, she
is likely to find America, which might have
been her most useful FRIEND accepting the
role Of her most jealous anita gonist, her most
dangerous rival
