"While Unele Sam has been busy with his own affairs, the complications of his esteemed contemporaries in the far "East seem to have grown alKiee. Not only are the "Russian Bear and British Lfon growling an.I making various kinds of uncomely faces at each other, tout even the "Hermit Kingdom" tic little -Core.i for whose sake the Japs thrashed tin- Chinese i short while ago?Is getting mixed up tu tic- matter. In spite of an able-bodied pi.st on the part of the "Russian minister to c? rea, that government has dismissed IMr. AlexiefT. the director of custom*, and all of the 'Russian military instruc? tors doing duty in Corea. In view of the fact that Japan's prejudice and rent in this unexpected aetion of the do the '"'Bear's" temper will be improved toy t'he incident. It is also quite appa? rent that tic- Japs would not be ivers to measuring strength with Russia oi some other gr.-at nation if they had a little encouragement. Their remarkable success in the war with China has given them a slight .it tack of "swell .head," and tin y are out for other trophies -and a larger reputa? tion. Of course "England would not ob? ject to seeing her ancient enemy mixed up in all kinds of complications with the Jjps and Coreans. In fact, :t may be that a Japanese-English coalition ;s standing behind the "Hermit King? dom." These possibilities make the situa? tion an extremely critical one, and the progress ,,f affairs w ill be -watched w ith much Interest on this ..f the her? ring pond.
