ORGANIZING
Alliance Of Japanese, Ger

ET1 ASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-A
lWI dynamite-laden quadruple en-
G tente between Germany. Rus
sia China and Japan is in process
of formation.
Russia and Germany already have
agreements, the precise nature of
which Is not clear. China and Rus
sia have just entered into a similar
contract. Japan and Russia may 4
come to an understanding any day
while Japan is now engaged in revo-
lutionizing her relations with China.
seeking closer ties.
Germany. up to 1914, was Japan's
model. There still exists, despite
the war, a strong affinity between
the two nations. And Russia, be-
sides being Germany's natural mar
ket outlet, is better understood by
her Teautonic neighbors than by the
people of any other country on earth.
China Resents Meddling
Anti-foreign sentiment is now on
the rapid increase in Chinna. She
more and more resents foreign med
ding" in her affairs. Germany and
Russia now concede China's COM
plete sovereignty which the other
powers still deny, demanding extra
territoriality, the right of supervision
of Chinese customs, salt taxes. and
so on.
Japan is altering her attitude
placate China and win her over by
playing up racial affiliation and con-
spicuously championing her cause
against humiliation" at the hands
of western nations.
The ultimate linking up of these
four powers. with some 700, ,000,0 900
inhabitants, or nearly half the
population of the globe. is con-
sidere6 by many as the most natural
thing in the world. Such an entente
would cover territory stretching
from the North Sea to the Pacific

The trend of international events
Is now strongly in that direction.
United States Should Act
Only one thing can prevent It:
Action by the United States.
The world now is at the cross
roads. The great powers are unde-
cided which way to go-whether to
heed the universal desire of the
masses and combine their forces
against war by building up some
sort of international machinery to
lessen the causes of war, or return
to the old scheme Of balances of
power.
Just now most leaders seem to
favor the former. But reactionary
influences are everywhere pulling in
the opposite direction.
Moreover, some of the more liberal
nations are becoming discouraged,
realizing that it will do little good
if only some Of the great powers
enter into the international associa.
ton for peace, the rest remaining
aloof. Premier Macdonald of Great
Britain, for instance, says Britain
will do everything she can to make
the League Of Nations a success but.
failing, must seek alliances abroad
in sheer self protection.
America can turn the balance for
peace in the coming crisis just as
she did in the reparations dispute.
If she fails. then the world is des
tined to split up into groups of al
1ances and ententes and war will fol-
low as night the day.

The ostriches were thought to be
passing back and forth from the
Milky Way which was taken to rep
