HT7XAXITABIA9 FEO VISIONS Germany and Russia Objective Point ?England's Co-Operation Assured ?Other Considerations. Unreasonable misapprehension is being caused by the rumors of an interruption in the friendly intercourse between the United a+a+Afl -1*1 *- 1 cuiu wiuuugii, wnere una misapprehension exists. It Is In other minds than thos? of American or Japanese statesmen. There have been many petty annoyances in the history of the relations of the two nations, and yet the world of diplomacy does not recall a single Instance where any of them became the cause of bitter exchanges. The amity between those two powers shows another thing?the possibility of two nations differing In Ideals and ambition but having a single Interest In common?that Is to Bay, the preservation of peace and lofty humanitarian Interests. It has been suggested that Japan Is dangerus to America because of Its Imperialism. But this Is declared to be a wrong conclusion. Japanese Imperialism is not extensive, it Is claimed; it is rather intensive. Japan has memories of which she may well be proud, and, it Is asserted, her only desire now is to enhance the glory of the new empire, which, after emerging from her long isolation. Is now living in the full tide of the rivalries and ambitions of the great powers. Behind all this, bowever. there remains the spirit which leads the people of that empire to cherish and maintain, even in the rush and whirl of the new career, whatever can be saved frm the great things that fell to their lot during many centuries of seclusion. Marked Preference for United States. Japan's spirit toward America has been manifest for many years. On different occasions It was rumored the former had designs upon the Philippines. The assertion was wrong, because Japan did not and does not want them. It is declared. All Japan ever did In connection with the Philippines was I() snow a marKeu preierence aa lu uiv nation she desired for her neighbor in those islands. As is well known,. Japan has kept steadfast to her first and instinctive preference for one power, In spite of the scheming of the many other great nations, who for a long time have sought to win her favor and regard. As Mr. Hloki, the late charge d'affaires of the Japanese legation, said in an Interview in The Star, Japan has clung to America only because of an Instinctive sentiment recognizing western magnanimity. In turn, she has grown to admire and respect Great Britain as the masterful nation or tne oia wona. It is an amity on the co-operative plan. It Is more than likely that Japan may give material help to the United States In the direction of the Philippine policy, to extend trade relations between the empire and the colonies, or, which has been definitely decided upon recently, the assurance of an understanding whereby military and strategical plans of mutual and tremendous interest will be completed. The Influence of this arranged plan Is not easy to understand at first thought, but its magnitude Is marvelous In case of future trouble In Asia between the nations. Of which there will always be some. Two Japanese Principles. It must be borne In mind that whatever Japan may do In the future, it will be done in connection with these two principle: her strong, instinctive dTead of Russia and captlvatlon by the Impressive Imperialism of Oermany. Japan expects at any moment to see either Russta or Germany looking for a pretext for another foothold In Asia. William II is not satisfied with Klao-Chow. His efforts toward getting an outlet in Asia are too well known. He used 'Morocco as a blind some months ago, but he failed. For this reason Japan needs American support, as America needs Japanese support, hot with the intention of territorial aggrandisement, but for the expansion of commerce and the open door. Germany and Russia, it Is asserted, have planned, are planning and will plan to control Asia Minor. If this result should ever be accomplished the Asiatic continent would be so far removed from the rest of Europe ae though an ocean divided them. It would permit Russia and Germany to ttiA IT.iiPAnAon Kminda rv trlvinap t ham LVfi ktij I1K7 UUtVfVWt wwituui / ( kllUU? In this manner more power than can be Imagined. In the end this plan would also offer an outlet to Germany In the Mediterranean. which she has coveted for so many decades. In case of trouble In China?and only the combined Japanese and American forces can prevent It?the two empires could throw their arms and their supplies across the Asiatic continent with amazing rapidity and facility. In suoh a case Japanese predominance and American influence would rapidly decrease to nothing. England and France, on their part, would be nelpless, because the combined fleets of these four nations could not cope with the army movements of Germany and Russia under the excellent leadership ot "a" German emperor. Possible American Alliance. The alliance between Great Britain and Japan?the thorn In Germany's heart?>waa well received by the United States, knowing that. In a measure, it guarantees the statu* quo for almost the entire continent of Asia, apart from the empire of Turkey. AU that probably will follow Is an alliance between Japan and this country, such as was discussed last spring by the administration. Of course, republican ldeala do not permit a formal partnership, but. it 1s predicted, the year may come?and soon at that?when these unwritten laws and principles modeled after paat needs will have to be rwept aside. The alliance should be brought about for the consolidation and maintenance of th,e general peace In the regions of Asia, especially along the Pacific shores, and. of the Philippines; the preservation of the common Interests In China by Insuring the Independence and Integrity of the Chinese empire, and me principle of equal opportunities for the commerce and Industry of all nations In China, in conjunction with the provisions of the Anglo-Japanese treaty; the maintenance of the fisheries rights of the respective parties In the re glons of the Bering straits, of the Philippines and of Saghallen, and the defense of their special Interests In the said regions. It Is claimed that It should be agreed that whenever, In the opinion of either the United States or Japan, any of the rights and interests referred to above are In jeopardy the two governments will communicate with each other and will consider in common the measures which should be taken to safeguard all menaced Interest* and rights. flnf&intor/la 0V1 AilM Ka to Iran f A fVin ! >*?.

Pewter. From the Bulletin or tbe Metropolitan Museum or Art. The museum has recently acquired a collection of pewter, principally of Austrian, French, Flemish and German make of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Of the 180 pieces domestic utensils predominate, with a few pieces mads for ecclesiastical ceremonial. Pewter has been known and used in most countries of the old world for at least 2.000 years. It was the substitute for silver and was to be found upon the tables of the well-to-do classes of the middle ages. Later tsborti | GARMENT SHOP. VENTH STREET.
