JAPAN SWALLOWS THE CANARY.

Japan, having swallowed the canary now
watches events with her wonted imperturbable
men. At this distance she always seems Sc
rene, impressive, poised. Perhap if we were
there and understood the language we should
detect evidence of agitation now and them or if
we had correspondents there as in Europe con-
cerned to keep their fingers on her national
pulse. But if her statesmen get excited they do
not show it. If her people explode with wrath
we do not know it. Whatever she may medi-
tate, she gives no hint of it. Her company man
ner is unimprovably correct. She is always per
fectly polite and self possessed. When she felt
she must have Shantung, the particular canary
she had picked out, she did not buster but was
very gentle and genteel. She simply said in her
5oft-voiced way that if the decision of the con
ferees was adverse, the proceedings would have
no further interest for her and she would go
home where she had matters of importance to
attend. The allies knowing that Japan IS mat
ter Of Importance was to take the canary in her
quiet unobtrusive way, told her to stay a little
longer and that would be arranged all right.
What our representatives drought does not ap-
pear; but as it seemed altogether hopeless to ap-
peal to the japanese people over the head of
their government, there was nothing to be done
except to give these well-bred orientals all they
asked Thereupon they settled back in their
seats from which they were about to rise, and
continued to watch the proceedings with that
silent attention which nothing escapes
Presumably the Japanese fined some things
In the league which meet their appreciation
that article for example which obhgates all the
powers to defend and maintain the territorial
integrity of any one of them that may be attack
ed Now that she has Shantung, it probably is
satisfying to feel that the great powers of earth
are pledged to help her keep it. Doubtless she
is interested in that covenant clause which GER
tain Of our senator's criticise as appearing to
make immigration a matter for league decision,
and presumably also in the article which is held
to make our Monroe doctrine scrap of paper
