Herald of Asia" in the so-called Shimonoseki incident.
 The journal ~oints out that sixty years ago Japanese sentiment was violently hostile to all foreigners as California sentiment appears hostile to Japanese. It continues:
 ''In 1862 the powerful clan of Choshu led the way in anti-foreign outbreaks by ordering its forts at Shimonoseki to fire at foreign ships including an American steamer. In those days. however, the central government at Tokio, which had definitely committed itself to a pro- gressive and liberal international policy, was powerless to enforce its will upon the clan-government of Choshu, just as the federal govern ment at Washington is incapable of compelling the state of California to conform it's action and policy to the obligations the national authori- ties have entered into with a foreign country. The parallel is almost ex- act. |
 Now how did the American gov ernment of that time solve the di- lemma in Japan Did it sympathize with the Shogun's government for the peculiarly difficult position in which the latter found itself, con- fronted as it was then with countrywide convulsion aiming at its downfall Did the American representatives in Japan ever think of studying the complicated politi- cal and constitutional problems which lay at the bottom of the Shogunate's inability effectively to control the actions of the various clan governments Nothing of the sort.
 "The American representatives, in cooperation with their colleagues of England, France and Holland, organ ized joint international fleet, bom- barded and levelled the forts at Shimonoseki, and extolled a heavy indemnity from the bewildered gov ernment at Tokio. In fairness to the United States, it must be stated that her share of the indemnity was returned to Japan some thirty years after, an act of magnanimity which is widely remembered among us with due gratitude. We do not mean, however, that we should not endeavor to procure an opportunity of returning the compliment in kind. Our interest in this peculiar cpl sode in our early intercourse with America is mainly academic; it may also possibly serve to illustrate a certain phase of the American phs- chology."
 Continuing it's discussion of the i California question the journal crit;-
 cized the tendency which it thought was observable among Americans generally to belittle the trouble be
 tween their country and Japan. ], From their point of view it was not
 unnatural that they should regard
 the matter as only of local import
 ance, but the newspaper believed
 that Americans had no right to as-
 sume that it is also necessarily of comparatively small importance to
 Japan. It added: Americans should
 realize that ito us the problem is
 one of national magnitude and inn
 portance. The American reluctance

LIFE AT TURK CAPITAL

Americans in Constantinople are finding life dull, uninteresting and devoid of diversion or entertain ment, according to an Associated Press correspondent, writing from the Turkish capital He says Ameri- cans have found, to their disappoint- .ment, that Constantinopie has no theaters, no amusement centers, no Seashore resorts, few moving pie ture houses and only one or two good restaurants. The only places remotely resembling theaters are a few cheap cabaret halls which at- tract sailors, soldiers and wander CTS of all nations, but never the Turk The Turkfinds his diversion in the coffee houses.
 There is little night life in Con- stantinople. After ten o'clock the city is as still as a New England village on a Sabbath morning. Only the habitues of the coffee-houses or the cabaret and beer halls are seen. Although prohibition is un- known, refreshments at these local amusement places come high. Beer of seven per cent grade is 90 cents a glass and whisky is $15O glass.
 Americans in the city amuse themselves by occasional dances, tea parties and weekend trips on the Bosporus. Not many of them enjoy entre to the Turkish homes. A three months stay in the city usually is enough to make them yearn for home. There are now considerable number in Constantnople, most of them being connected with Aneri- can relief organizations or commer- cial firms.
 Although having q population of nearly million, Constantinople has no taXicabs, few automobiles and only a single trolly line. Everybody walks or rides in the dilapidated horse-drawn carriages or nondescript street cars. People living in the suburbs crowd to suffocation the ferryboats plying the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. The lone trolly line runs along the main street and suspends operation as often as the city runs out of coal, which is ire quent.
 The Turkish metropolis has only one or two good hotels. There the merchants, political agents and con- mercial travellers of the world gather to discuss their affairs The inform CTS and spies of the Orient mingle among them and carry on their in- trigues. Nowhere are there so many strange or suspicious-looking char. acters. Richly-dressed women from Occident and Orient. bejeweled and painted, frequent the cafes and lounging rooms and carry on open flirtations with the guests.
 Constantinople has been we'll de scribed as city, not of one na tion but of many. The American visitor finds there an amazing di versity of faces, nationalities, Ian guages and conflicting faiths. There is no cohesion of society, no civic unity. Only Salonik or Port Saie can rival the Turkish city for it: cosmopolitanism and it's babel o1 tongues.
