ment of japan in the Far East.
1t may be granted that the port in
Shantung and the power over the rail
roads there mean greater Japan.
Probably japan has now an access to
natural resources in China which will
make her one of the three great powers
of the world. Whether she will be third
or fourth will depend upon France,
what capacity France shows to develop
into great industrial nation through
the possession of the coal and iron of
Alsace- Lorraine and of the Sarre and
whether her victory and her enlarged
opportunities will awaken France into
new fruitfulness so that she can people
her empire in northern Africa.
France has a bigger possibility in
northern Africa than Japan has in
China. Northern Africa lies right at
her doors, a rich country waiting to
be made, with room for large popu.
lation in practicable climate. China,
on the other hand. is overCrowded al
ready and overcrowded with a people
with whom the japanese cannot com
pete, whose scale of living is even lower
than that of the japanese. Japan can
not flow over into China and, like Eng
land, become great empire by over
seas dominiOns occupied by her own
people. Japan has not yet opened the
way to greatness in the only direction
in WHICH another island kingdom has
become great, through pcopling other
parts of the earth
at most she has gained a right to ex-
ploit China, similar to that which Eng
land and France have long enjoyed and
to that which Germany, as d consc-
quence of her defeat, has been forced
to surrender. What Japan has gained
is doubtless something much larger
than what these other powers enjoy
or have enjoyed, and on account of
Japan's nearness to China it is doubt
less of much greater value. but it is the
same kind. And no one thing of Eu-
ropean rights in China is contributing
largely to the greatness of any Euro
pean nation. The chance which they
all have is a chance to exploit China
not chance to found an empire there.
The opportunity is commercial not DO

Japan may get rich out of China.
probably will get rich out of China.
And that is important; but even riches
will not make Japan formidable. Her

now an intellectual and commercial
proletariat. Her educated classes lack

KA|SERSAWS TREES
TO REWARD LOYAL
Cuts ~ SapIings Into Blocks
Engraves Them and Sends
Pieces to Faithful
ROYAL N UND" SUFFERS

Amerongen, May 31.-Correspondenc
Of the Associated Press.-Seventy- seven
trees sawed into logs in one day is the
best record attained by William Hohen-
zcllern since his fight into Holland and
his semi imprisonment in the castle Of
Amercngen. William II completed on
May IA the saving of 5000. The last
OF these was cut into about thirty
small blocks, which were taken to the
ex-kaiser's apartments in the castle and
there marked by his own hand with the
date of the occurrence.
On this occasion, as when the 1000th
presented as souvenirs to several mem
bers Of the suite and to the workmen in
the castle garden who help in arranging
the trees for saving. Most of the re-
naming blocks were then packed in a
case and sent off to Germany for dis
( tribution among those who have re-
mained true to the memory of their for
mer ruler.
It must not be imagined that the
trees sawed by William Hohenzolern
are giants of the forests. Most of them
are mere saplings. The ex-kaiser com
plnineG about the smallness of the
trunks brought to him, and recently
some trees of from three to six inches
in diameter have been placed on the
saving block for him. He sometimes
becomes very nervous when working at
nely 10
to snap out sharp remark not to the
liking of those aiding him, whether they
be ordinary laborers employed by Count
Rentinck or members Of the former
monarch's suite.
This occurs occasionally when bent
tree trunk is placed on the block, and
in order to avoid such occurrences
orders have been given that only straight
limbs be brought into the shed, so that
when they are laid on the block ready
for saving they shall not move. The
trunks are all marked in advance with
white chalk at the places where they
are to be sawed.
On the day when the ex kaiser com
rleted his three thousandth tree there
was a near tragedy in the grounds of
the castle. Cynthia, the former kai-
scrin's dachshund, was accompanying
his mistress in the garden when he per-
81 iyed the castle cat. Poesje. the mother
of a litter of four kittens. When Cynthia
approached the basket where the kit
tens were lying, Poesje sprang at Gym
tha's nose. A shrek from nearby
attendant did not frighten the cat,
which was protecting her young: The
kaiserin became terribly excited. and
some one cried, Kill the beast ~ This,
however. was unnecessary. as a gar
dener crept up from behind. seized
Poesje by the neck and carried her of
to n stable. to which her kittens were
later brought. Since this she has been
locked in the stable. Cynthia at last
accounts was still suffering from several
severe scratches.

CAVELl BETRAYAL
BRINGS SPY TO TRIAL
Sixty Witnesses Are Called to
Testify Against CASTOR
Quien Next Month

Paris, June 9.--Gaston Quien, also
known as Luc, who, 1t is believed,
played prominent part in the betrayal
of Miss Edith Cavell, who was exc
cuted by the Germans at Brussels in
October, 1915, will be placed on trial
next month.
A long preliminary inquiry conducted
by Captain Grebault, of the Sixth Mill =
tary Court, established that Quien was
serving a sentence in the Jail at st.
Quentin in 1914 and was liberated when
the Germans first took the town. 1t is
said he entered the German service as
spy and got employment in Miss
Cayell's hospital at Brussels.
Soon after he began to work there. il
is alleged, Miss Cavell was arrested
and executed. Quien was afterward sent
to Switzerland as an invalid.
Sixty witnesses have been called to
testify in the trial. They include Prin
cess Maria of Croy, who also was de-
nounced to the Germans by Quien, and
Madame Bovard. who was tried at the
same time as Miss Cavell.
