The Anglo-,Japanese Alliance

The British Imperial Conference,
which is to meet soon, will pass on
the question of continuing the Anglo
Japanese alliance. Canada, Austria
lia, New Zealand and South Africa
are opposed to renewing the treaty
as it stands. If it is renewed they
want to give it form which will be
less Objectionable to the United
States. The dominions, whose policy
on japanese immigration is in har-
mony with ours, DO not care to be
tied up to a compact which might
compel them to support Japan in
case of a break between Japan and
the United States on the immigra-
tion or race discrimination issue.
The present treaty between Japar.
and Great Britain is defensive in
character and binds each power to
protect the others interests in the
Far East if either is attacked by
third power. Great Britain's sup
port is made conditional by clause
exempting her from any obligation
to make war on a third power with
which she has a general treaty of
arbitration. 1t is open to dispute
whether or not any existing treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain satisfies that definition.
The four dominions are anxious to
have ali doubt on this score removed
and to put themselves in position
to make more effective their commu-
nifty of interest with the United
States in the field of Far Eastern re-
lations. Our people sympathized
with their successful effort at the
peace conference TO obtain semi
independent international status.
They are new countries, with strong
democratic tendencies and interests
detached from those of Europe. They
are close to US in their social concep-
lions and political point of view.
Their influence is working power
fully for cooperation between the
two great Anglo-Saxon states.
The alliance between Great Britain
end Japan is one of expediency only.
1t worked to Britain's advantage
when Germany and Russia were still
powers to be reckoEed with. It was
directed against them, not against
US. Many British publicists think
the time has come to abandon it. 1t
IS bar, as the dom;nions see plain
ly, to firmer understanding with
this country. Mr.. Rowell, former
president Of the Privy Council of
Canada, put the case of the opponents
of the present alliarce convincingly
when he said the ether day: 81 sub
NIT for the consideration of the gov
ernment the question whether it
would not be found, after careful in
vestigation, that it is in the interests
of good relations between the British
Empire and the United States on
the one hand, and between Japan
and the United States on the other,
in the interests of good relations all
around, that the treaty should not
be renewed"

When War Is War

The defense put forward in the
name and by the apparent authority
of the secret Sein Fein parliament
for the burning Of the finest edifce
in Ireland has the merit of frank
ness. Responsibility is publicly ac-
knowledged. The plea is not denial,
but justification.
The justification is the assertion
that the building was occupied by
foreign troops. This is the defense
the Germans made when they bonn
barded Rheims Cathedral and when
they burned the Louvain Library.
In the openest possible way the Ger
man doctrine is declared that any
thing is fair in war, and that war
exists when a number of persons
declare there is war. The men who
committed the Wall Street massacre
were not sufficiently modern. In
subterranean conclave they should
have resolved that Wall Street was
in hostile possession, that a war had
been declared and that it was per-
MISSILE to lombard at will.
Some one should have educated
Villa into knowledge of this doctrine
and induced him to dispatch ban
dts to blow up the Mexican Capt.
tol. When the work was done he
should have appealed to the world
for assistance to enable him to
achieve other similar military
strokes.

tion in these marvels. For years he
has taken the telephone and the wire
less and the electric bell as matters
of course, but fundamentally he knows
nothing more about them than do his
cannibal friends. After much thought
he finally hits upon the idea that the
one practical thing he can contribute
is working time schedule of a day. If
he can find some device to tell time he
will be able to win the admiration Of
the natives by accurate predictions as
to sunset and sunrise. They have no
notion that there is anything in day and
night which is not haphazard.
With great difficulty our ship
wrecked hero manages to construct an
hour glass, or rather what could be
transformed into an hour glass if he
lad any way in which to determine ac-
curately any given unit Of time. At
this point inspiration comes to him. for
nc remembers that the insurance doc
tors told him his heart was normal. He
knows, therefore, that his pulse must
be in the neighborhood of seventy-two
beats to the minute, and by using this
standard he manages to get what he
believes to be a proper amount of sand
III his hour glass. Then, calling q
meeting of the natives at noon, which
he manages TO locate approximately by
the position of the sun, he tells them
that before he has turned the glass
seven times night will come. Thev
watch the experiment with interest. but
the glass IS turned seven times and
night doesn't come.
The hour glass was short measure,
The young man overlooked the fact
that, owing to the excitement of living
IN a cannibal community, his pulse had
become accelerated and was actually
beating one hundred and three to the
minute. Of course, at the last minute
United States gunboat appears in the
ofhng and rescues the young man lust
as the water for his cooking and execu-
tion is about to boil. There will ba
some moral reflections at the end point
ing out that we ought not to take all the
wonders OF the world simply on trust
but participate fully in progress bv un
derstanding it. The story will end han
PLY with the young man preparing to
take the scientific course at Yale.

Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago.
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders felds.

To you from faliing hands we throw
The torch. Re yours to hold it highl
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies

A shining piece of parody is Donald
ogden StewarFs "An Outline of Ameri-
can History" and The Bookmar here
by is kissed on both cheeks for print
ing 1T. The parodes of William Lvon
Phelps are good, and that of James
Branch Cabeil good, though a little
oVerclowniah. Mr.. Stewards Analysis
and Summary of the Cabell article in
Columbus, in the manner Of DR. Frank
Crane, follows:
There is lesson for us all IN this
beautiful story of how Columbus real
lied his ambition to be a great dis
coverer.
Men called Columbus Dreamer-but
that IS just what folks once said about
Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford.
The world has place for Dreamers
if they are Practical Dreamers.
Columbus was ambitious. Ambition
is great thing if it is unselfish ambi-
ton. BY unselfish l mean for the great
est number. Shakespeare, the great
teacher, shows us in ''Macbeth what
happens to the selfshly ambitious man.
Columbus got ahead by paying at
tention to small details. Whatever he
did, he did to the best OF his ability.
Even when engaged in teaching geog-
raphy to the Queen, Columbus was the
best geography teacher he knew how
to be. And before long he was made
Royal Geographer.
In our daily lives let US all resolve
to be good teachers Of geography. We
may not all become Royal Geographers
but there will be to US the lasting
satisfaction of having done our best.
And that, as a greater than has said,
is more precious than rubies-yes,
than much fine gold.''
