TO DISAPPOINT JAPAN
Onlv trustful persona who can
feel the confidence in official
Japanese promises which presi
dent ^Wilson professes, -will doubt
that if Germany should decide to
g"Te up Tsing-Tau and Kiau-Chau
to China the Japanese government
Bays the Cleveland Leader,
would be much disappointed
There would remain no excuse for
seizing the fine naval station
yhlch the Germans have built and
gaining a foothold for Japan on
the coast of a populous and fertile
Chinese province.
Moreover, no opportunity would
then exist for doing something
spectacular in the way pf storming
a fcrrlresa held by soldiers and
sailora <>f a great European power.
However few the Germans and
however numerous the Japanese
might be, it would still be pos
sible, if they tools Tsiug-Tau by
assault, to start a talo of Asiatic
Victory and A»iati-; prowess on its
wajr through many lands, in the
greatest of the continents. Jap
anese prestige -would rise accord
ingly and in Japan the martial
spirit of the people would be
strengthened and they vwould be
come more ■willing than ever to
bear heavy burdeus for the army
and the navy,
if Germaaw makes the best of
a hard alternative by yielding to
the demands o£ Japan and turns
the German port and leased dis
trict on the Shantung peninsula
oyer to China, there will be sorely
disappointed statesmen in Tokyo.
BAD -NEWS FROM MEXICO
Soaora, the northwestern cor
ner ol Mexico, not counting
the territory of Lower California,
was the first Btate which fell into
the hands of the constitutionalists.
It was the refuge which Carranza
Bought when the revolt he headed
was at its least hopeful stage. And
now Sonora has another civil war,
of itB own.
Two factions, disagreeing about
th« governorship of the state, are
fighting Just as bitterly and just
as persistently, it appears, as tl-ey
could if they were deciding th
fate of a nation. They are giving
one more striking illustration of
the readiness with which Mexicans
take up arms in quarrels over of
fice®.
Probably this local war Can be
quickly suppressed. The Consti
tutionalist chieftaii-s have many
soldiers in the field and they have
not yet had time to begin fighting
among themselves. It ought not
to be difficult for Carrauza or his
lieutenants to s'op the row in
Sonora and keep up a show of
Quiet and order in that part of
the country.
But what has happened there is
a ba4 omen for the future of Mex
ico. It shows how oasily the old j
spirit of lawless strife is roused,
how Teadily -votes are forgotten
and weapons taken up iu political
disputes.
Before "attempting to cork the
Baltic bottle, England should
carefully consider the risk of pro
ducing a Hobson.
About the only thing scarcer
than the indictment of a food
price conspirator is the conviction
of oue.
A Copeuhageu correspondent
reports part of the German fleet
lias been found. But maybe It
waa not playing.
They have been having an
nrchery tournament in Philadel
phia—which assuredly is a suit
able place for an archery tourna
ment.
When members of the cabinet
are being jlcked for better jobs
none the beat of it seems to he j
fiiven Son-ifi-lfiw McAdoo. i
I The war has liad the astonish
ing effect o£ making the American
people 'wholly indifferent as to
how long eougresa stays in s«s
sion.
Some of the very people who
assert the present war presages
the end of the world arc believed
to be hoarding large supplies of
sugar.
Rather than forego international
sports entirely, why not send a
cruiser out of New York to race
one of those British cruisers once
around the offing?
Partial as it may be to the
south, the administration will
scarcely find it convenient to lend
the cotton planters the '$500,000,
000.
Still, there is room for hope
that, in her search for transports,
Japan will not discover the Set>
andbee Maru.
By conscientious search of the
tall grass an answer might be
found to the question as to what
i has become of the The Hague peace
I tribunal.
Some may be inclined to think
it peculiar that Japan did not S®1
all worked up about Kiau-Chau as
much as sixteen years ago.
