RARE faith in JAPAN
The oresident has caused it 1°
bd published that he has full
faith la the purpose at Japan to
give China the fine naval station
and commercial port at TSing-Tau
which tlie Alikado'a government
haa asked Germany to evacuate
immediately. The administration
expresses confidence that Japan
cherishes no plan of self-aggran
dizement, hue Is onljr seeking the
repose and security of Eastern,
Asia, says the Cleveland Leader.
It would be interesting to know
upcn what ground this touching
faith rasts. is it the way the
Japanese have held half of .Man
churia, for all practical purposes,
nowiUiatanding their protesta
tions of unselfish luterest in
China t is it based upon the fate
of Korea, first "advised," then
"protected,'• and finally annexed
openly*
Other statesmen axe not so
credulous. In other capitals the
belief prevails that when the Jap
anese take Tslng-T&u from the
Germans they will retain it so
long, ag trustees for China, that
they will forget ever to withdraw
their forces and lower their flag.
AIR SCOUTS NOT EXOIGH
Many readers of the war news
wonder that w'^h the numerous
aeroplanes available lor looking
down upon the enemy's lines and
camps both sides should find it
necessary to rely so much upon at
tacks which cost many lives, to
ascertain the strength of the foe's
positions and the disposition of his
forces. They overlook the vital
factor of plans and intentions.
If there were fifty aeroplanes
where there is one doing scouting
service along the Franco-German
frontier and in Belgium, and if
their reports were all cleaT and
reliable, it would still be necessary
to use the "reconnoissance in
force" so much employed by the
Germans, to ascertain what use
the enemy's commanders intended
to make of their forces and where
they meant to fight a decisive en
gagement.
By pressing vigorously against
the enemy's outposts it is often
powible to tell whether or not
they will be held, even to the ex
tent of accepting battle, on a great
scale. In connection with the work
of the aeroplane and airship
scouts, it is also possible to learn
whether, under serious attacks,
the enemy brings up supporting
troops, and from what quarter, or
relies upon those already in posi
tion. •• ■£$
The fly'ag machine and the di
ilgiblt balloon are proving very
useful but they cannot take the
place of the old methods of test
ing the strength and plans of the
enemy before bringing on a gen
eral engagement. Something more
is needed than air scouts, as the
German masters of war well un
derstand.
But what's the use of that
French corps of rough riders if
they are not going to tell who its
colonel is?
The disguised liner that kept
1,668 passengers on pins and
needles through the whole trip
must have run short of tenter
hooks,
■
No doubt Colonel Goethala -will
be as ready to help Chicago re
duce food priceB as he was to
show Dayton how to control
Xlooda.
At $25,000 a day the Panama
cajial tolls will not begin to pay
evea the Interest on the mrestment
Japan's war talk would be just
as convincing if she were not al
ways so careful to mention her
feelings of great friendship for the
JTnlted St4t€». - i
Tho West Virginian who roue
a horse into au Ohio church con
ference was undeniably guilty of
conduct unbecoming a refugee.
Thus far, the official statements
of the causes leading to the war
are unanimously to the effect that
the other fellow stared it.
There appears no particular rea
'son for rejoicing that Minister
Whitlock was not like Ambassa
dor Herrick's successor, de'.ayed
in transmission. <
It may bo remaTked that, in
naming wars, it is customary to
wait long enough to find out
which contestant is loser.
It may bo of interest that tlie
Panama canal will make the sea
rouU from Yokohama to New
York 1.S05 miles shorter than to
IJverpool.
Delaware's Circular Boundary.
The northern l>ouudary line of Dela
ware is circular because the charter
Civ en to Penn suites that Pennsylvania
was to oa "bounded on the east by
the Delaware river from twelve miles
distant north of Newcastle town until
the three and fortieth degree of uorth
latitude." and that the southern bound
ary was to be "a circle drawn at
twelve miles distant from the town of
Newcastle northward and westward
until the fortieth degree of north lati
tude and then by a straight line west
ward." This makes a circular bound
ary for northern Delaware unavoid
able, and the facts above set forth ex
plain a geographical curiosity that ha3
puzzled many students.
