into the still waters of radiant perfect
Utility.
do not mean to say that in this book
there is not much beauty and poetry. No
writer could load up with transeendental
Hindu idea for 14S pages and not put
down, even spontaneously, some beauti-
full lines and meaningful phrases. But
the whole thing clogs. 1t is like making
an immaterial meal Of spiritual marsh
mallows, or dining before breakfast on a
tub of etherized molasses.
1t is a story Of how the Sky Wanderer,
the Ocean Wanderer and the Sister Of
the Birch got glimpse Of that far off
divine event toward which all Tennyson-
ians move. HegeI, in his tremendous par
adoxical philosophy, said that when we
got There we would be Nowhere. Shelley,
who was anything but a pacifst, in his
sublime "Prometheus Unbound" leaves
that state to guesswork, more or less.
Spinoza said we were always deep in the
event, but it nowise negatived the exist
ence of evil. Poe, in Eureka" the
sublimest piece of fantastic reasoning
extant, took us all Home on the wings Of
continuous absorption.
But the three wanderers in The Book
Of the Gaze go to see mysterious Cave
Dweller, who lives surrounded by all the
precious stones that exist in the diction-
airy. OF course, as of cid, he is only a
Light and a Voice, and he can vanish
from sense like a bootlegger. When Job
hears that Voice in the whirlwini we are
awed. But in The Book Of the Cave the
whole machinery Of this threadbare abb
straction of the universal What Is 1t is
too childish, too apparent, too creaky,
too mushy.
The Sky Wanderer, we take it, is the
Poet, the Idealist; the Ocean Wanderer is
the scientific explorer, the religious Ma
terialist; the Lady of the Birch is Old
Mother Earth (who seems to our be-
nighted brain the most glamourously
beautiful and moekingly mysterious thing
that we know. Each one soliloquizes
and rhapsodizes in his or her own manner,
or words to that effect. In their speeches
we meet all that we have read and know
from clean lifts" out of the Hindu
bibles to the crucibles of Prof. Loeb and
the dithyrambic flights Of Victor Hugo.

About the centre of the book, before our
three Ulysses of the spirit get peek at
the other planes (which would make good
filming), Humanity appears on the scene,
and here is really some fine poetry, al
though Job, Swinburne and Nietzsche are
echoed in every page. But we rather like
Pain as the immortal and hot pursuing
lover of Man, without whom he could do
nothing.
Here is solid ground. Humanity is
sublimer than any God we ever read about.
1t was Havelock Ellis who said we were
beautiful SO long as we could love flowers
and invent gods. But the Sri has written
a magnificent hymn to Humanity, and
after reading this interlude in the book
the Prospero of the Cave himself, with
all his magic mirrors, halls Of jasper and
amethyst and his Fregoic tricks of be-

rather uninteresting.

The Attitude of Japan Toward China

i'll Japan have not much confidence in the
capacity of the Chinese people to govern
themselves or make the most of the great
resources of their own country.
"To many japanese it appears obvious
that China, left to herself, will eventually
become the Turkey of the Far East, If
it has not already become such" The
country is torn BY internal discussions,
between the followers of one Government,
processing to be republican, in the North,
and another in the South, whose republic
anism is more doubtful. Each province
has degenerated into a military despotism
of the worst form.
Il have reluctantly come to the con-
clusion," says Mr.. Kawakami, "that the
time has come when the world should be
informed of the true situation. There Is
no use in evading the fact that China Is
utterly incapable of managing her own
affairs, and that the civilized nations Of
the world must come to an agreement with
view to establishing an international
guardianship for China
This paragraph tells the whole story
concerning the sentiments of a large and
influential body of the japanese people
toward the inhabitants of China. 1t en-
bodies melancholy view, but the main
question is whether or not it is true. 1t
is worthy of note that the Chinese have
always had to seek foreign assistance in
the management of their customs service,
the principal agency of their official COM
munication with the outside world.
v.
We have dwell principally on what Mr..
Kawakami has to say in reference to the
relations between Japan and China. He
writes with equal frankness and perspi-
cacity concerning the attitude of his ma
tive land toward this country and the
western nations generally, and maintains
tone of friendly fairness throughout his
book, Which may be warmly commended
to those readers who want to learn the
truth on these subjects, as japanese
Liberal Democrat sees it.

reaching significance of the kiau-Cbow
campaign will be the more clearly under
Stood" says Mr. Kawalami, "if we pic
ture in our minds what would have hap
pened had Japan decided to sit on the
fence Russia would have had to keep
large forces in Siberia; France would have
been compelled to garrison Indo-China
with several army corps, while Great
Britain would have been forced to main
tain in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, for
the protection of India, Australia, New
Zealand and Canada, a fleet equal to that
of Japan. Had German cruisers and gum
boats, with the splendid harbor of Kiau-
Chow as their base of operations, marau-
ded in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the
transportation of Australian and Indian
forces to the scenes of war would have
been well-nigh impossible, while British
trade in those waters would have been
completely paralyzed. With Japan's atti-
tude uncertain, even the United States
might not have felt safe in casting her
lot with France and England"
Certainly, without Japan's intervention,
conditions for the Entente Allies would
have been extremely difficult in the Pacific
and Eastern Asia.
When Mr. Kawakani's book went to
press the extent of Japan's demands upon
China had not been made known; but the
position of japanese liberal leaders was
that unless Japan took measures to pro-
teet her interests in China, they might
suffer IN consequence of European inter
ventien in the Chinese Republic. The
author enumerates seventeen concessions
made by China since 1912 to Russians,
British, French and American grantees,
some Of which are vastly more important
than any granted to Japan. The over
flowing population of Japan compels her
people to seek field for their activities
on the neighboring Asiatic mainland; and
what can be more natural than that they
should seek to be admitted peacefully to
share in the development of the undevel-
oped provinces Of Chinaf This is the
japanese view, and it must be admitted

DISCARD UNIFORMS
WHEN DISCHARGED
JUDGE ADVOCATE DISSIPATES
IMPRESSION THEY MAY BE
WORN THREE MONTHS.

The general impression that a sol
der is entitled to wear his uniform
for three months after discharge
from service was dissipated in the
last few days by ruling from the
department of judge advocate. who
holds that officers should discard
their uniforms Immediately, when
possible. Enlisted men have certain
leeway in which to return to civilian
garb. A number of arrests have re-
Gently been made in different sec
tions of the state of discharged sol
diers for wearing their uniforms.
The ruling is of interest here in
Dawson, where numerous men dis
charged from the service have con-
tinued to wear the army uniform.
Zone whose commission as an off
Ger has been terminated has no right
to wear the uniform" the ruling
says. "The moment dismissal or dis
charge from the service is consum-
mated by communication of notice
thereof to the officer in question that
moment the right to wear a uniform
is at an end.
Propriety Makes 1t Mandatory.
