They have talked like ordinary mortals and have shown prejudice and - iblindn ess to facts. The tragic and baffling events have proved too much for them. Their powerful" intellects, function well in normal times, but complications and convulsions of a cértain kind are beyond their powers of analysis. Dr. G. Stanley Hall has shared the fate of Bergson and other philosophers. philosophers. In discussing, the conflict he has said that Germany is unconquerable, unconquerable, but unjust; that if she triumphs all democratic and republican republican principles will suffer a setback ; that, in any case, war strengthens royalty ; that the ascendency ascendency of the Orient over the Occident will be accelerated by the present war, even if Germany wins ; that Russia must and will push forward, uniting the Slavs ; that Germany must push westward at the expense of France, and so on.

BTC It is impossible to reconcile all these assertions and predictions. If Dr. Hall has not been misquoted his views are as muddled as those of thousands of men who are not philosophers. His one clear and unchallengeable statement is that the war will put back the clock of civilization. Any needless war has this deplorable effect, and the plain man can see it. The philosophers will have their opportunity in due time. Just now they had better modestly admit that the situation defies analysis and that anything like scientific prediction or confident confident generalization is out of the question. Let us see. that our hind -sight is sound and creditable and rest content with that. How, asks a contemporary, can we go about business and pleasure --eating, drinking, attending plays and concerts--while thousands of men are being slaughtered and maimed, and thousands of families are being condemned to hunger, destitution, and anguish'? Whence our fatal gift of indifference 1 The same questions are being asked in millions of homes, fashionable and humble, cultivated and uncultivated. uncultivated. But the question, although quite natural, is founded on a misapprehension. misapprehension. It does injustice to human nature. We are not indifferent, indifferent, and the gift of temporary forgetfulness is not "fatal." As has well been said, if in the midst of life we are in death, in the midst of death we are in life. War is terrible, but its terrors and horrors are mitigated by the gift of the ability to turn one's thought to other things. Gloom, depression, and incessant brooding and sighing would render life and industry impossible. impossible. The work of relief, charity charity and protection could not he carried carried on.

Like so many sudden, comet-like things, it has a long, historic tail. None might put his finger upon the birth date of German ambition in the Extreme East. As early as -1870, however, the Chamber of Commerce Commerce at Hamburg made a pointed remark to the Kaiser upon the convenience convenience of having on the China coast a base" a port. It isaid that the establishment of a line of German German ships might make a trail on the Oriental seas like a prophecy. But the time when Japan earned an intimate introduction to Germany came a little later, writes Adachi Kinnosuke inA-he New York World. On April XT, 1895, Li Hung Ghang signed Nbe Shimonoseki Treaty. China ceded to Japan among other Chinese territory a strip of land on the continent-- South Manchuria. When Mr. I to Mikiji (not the late Prince I to) went to Chefoo to have the treaty "ratified he found his Chinese friends ready, willing, and waiting for him- on the picture-like water of the Chefoo Bay, the German, the Russian, and the French ships--all cleared for action. The three "great Christian powers did not wish to do very much to Japan's plenipotentiary. All that they wished to do was to offer Japan, Japan, with all Christian grace and considerateness, a bit of advice. It will not be good for the peace of the Far East, they sav, for her to take South Manchuria. Japan gave up South Manchuria; she had to. A little later Germany took Kiaochow, on the Chinese mainland, in the Province of Shantung--evidently Shantung--evidently for the good of the peace of the Far East ; and evidently evidently for the same reason Russia also took South Manchuria, and France hers in the south of China-. China was very unhappy to show her appreciation appreciation of the Christian services rendered by the three powers just in that particular manner, but then she had to do it. An Enlightened Example. And now Japan finds Germany on the plains of Belgium, not quite as friendly with her former allies as on that historic day at Chefoo. And Japan is reminded all of a sudden of the Germans in Kiaochow, of the peace of the Far East, the dearest of all the old tunes in the diplomatic diplomatic repertoire, of the dictum that a good turn merits a good turn and of the virtuous and compelling yearning of--of giving an advice. Which she has done. She has given an advice in the name of the peace of the Far East. In this she is following, like any other well-behaved well-behaved kindergarten pupil, the enlightened. enlightened. example pf Germany herself. herself.

Does Japan think it a heroic war to hurl her "17 battleships, battleships, 13 armored cruisers, 15 protected- protected- cruisers, and 70 torpedo boats and destroyers" against the three old-maidish German cruisers now in the -waters of the East 1 Not at all. .The German ghost that turns Japan Japan into a little boy seeing things in. the dark is not the German sword. We were afraid, once upon a time, of the militant Russia based in Siberia; never of German warships, warships, whether three or ten times three. We are not and never have been, at least for some years past, afraid either of the bird-of-paradise adjectives in. the Kaiser's rhetorical exercises or of the Krupp guns. Fear Commercial Supremacy. What we are afraid of--let us make, this point clear and emphatic --is this : The German commercial supremacy in the Far East. We have seen and we see to-day-- as do the British, the French, the Russian, and the Chinese--the army of young Germans land at the treaty ports of the East; we see them with wide and ever-widening eyes and with our wits half-cocked with dismay how they solve existence existence on ten, twenty, dollars, Mexican Mexican ; see them conquer the crooks and kinks fn ttie ,dialects countless and vernaculars innumerable of the East as though they had done nothing nothing in all their born days but catch eels with their naked hands ; watch them master the business methods of the heathen natives, and their tastes and their needs. Now this is a vastly different picture picture fromjthe one we had been accustomed, accustomed, to. We used to see the British, the American, thé French, and the Russian Traders at their country clubs in foreign concessions and at teas and tiffins, cultivating the airs of merchant princes,in their white ducks and flannels and trying to revise a certain passage in the first Book of Genesis so that it might read : "And God said, Let us make white man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion dominion over the fish of the sea . . . and over the cattle and the heathen dogs and over all the other creeping creeping things that creepeth upon the earth. " . German's Commercial Conquest. Of course, one could find a few Germans in this fool's-paradise atmosphere atmosphere now and then, but a very few. The picture of the German merchants at their studious toil almost almost day-and night in the examination examination of local conditions and trade methods of the East, in that patient patient and everlasting analytical way of theirs quite'.different from the bomb-burst, not- to say bombastic, hustle of the American, is extremely extremely impressive, especially so in contrast contrast to the othep foreign traders. We knew how :to answer a -power who came ransacking us ; we were much embarrassed what to do with the army which' came sacking us commercially. And there .was nothing modest about the commercial conquest of Germany in the Far East since the early seventies.! For the three years following : 1873 the annual average of the number and tonnage of Germàri jjjjiips which entered into ancL cleared from the Oriental ports bejmnd India were only 48 and 25,- 000 tons. - v -The total of thp German" shipping in. all.

' : In thirty years- Germany increased increased her Far Eastern trade from practically practically nothing to: one billion marks in value. ; Take - 'the case of Kiao- chau alone. Up ;to 1897 there was no such thing as German trade there. In 1903, the year when Ger-x many completed her railway to the distance of 300 kilometers there, she enjoyed" thé . trade of 'seven million dollars', silver. ! And it did not stop/ Even in thé lean year of 1910, disturbances over rubber speculations speculations in x Shanghai and- Hongkong, Kiaoohau enjoyed the trade of nearly nearly sixty-five million dollars, gold, the importation of the non-Chinese wares alone amounting to $25,800,- 000. Japan's Land of Promise. And the following fact did not improve the matter at all--especially all--especially for the Japanese : To Japan the continental Chinese markets have been and are the one land of promise, . commercially speaking. And of the needs of China, Japan is not in a position as yet to supply to any great extent the things which call for a heavy capital investment, such as railway construction, mining operations, etc. The British, the Belgians, the French, the Russians cover this field as well as the Americans ; they are backed with adequate capital. We haven't the money. Let us pause here to- emphasize this point : This is the reason why the- British and the French are much more dangerous dangerous competitors of the American enterprises in China than the Japanese. Japanese. This is,the reason why the pet tinhorn tunc of the California politicians ove-r the Japanese competition competition in the Asian market has more fuss than fact back of it. All. is different with the German activity. The Germans go into small manufactures and things; they fight - us right where we make our bread and right where we hope to make a little butter. Mr. Miyao, Chief of the First Department Department of the Japanese Colonization Colonization Bureau, made his trip of investigation investigation through the trad a 1 centres centres of China in the days following the birth of the New China. "The revolution in China," said he on his return, "having been brought to a termination, Japanese merchants may be thinking that our trade with China will gradually increase in its volume. But when -conditions in China are personally inspected and the activity of the German merchants is observed one cannot help but think that they will take away trade from the hands of our business men unless we make up our mind to better ourselves.' But it may not be unwise for Japan Japan to recall at this hour an ancient law--the law which has never been amended- since the - days of Cain.-- that he who killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword, and that even as Germany, who killed the Japanese ambition in Southern Manchuria in 1895 with an advice, is about to be killed at Kiao ch au with an advice, even ..so Japan, who is about to triumph over the German German supremacy in trada-1 East in this year of strife 1914, must pf necessity necessity be prepared to reap the whirlwind right where to-dav she is sowing the seed in the pregnant German memory.

For to-day her markets in the United States, in the East, and in the British Dominions overseas, have attained an increased and ever-increasing importance. And in such markets she finds herself, in this time of war, practically without any European competitor at all. At home, Great Britain's industrial industrial position, while not free from anxiety, is not such as to cause any violent alarm. Some factories are working short time, but very few have closed down. There is a good deal of unemployment, but not a larger percentage of it than has been known, ere now, in time of peace--so far, at any rate, it is well within control, particularly in view of the very .remarkable expedition with which relief arrangements have? been made. Those who make and sell luxuries have, perhaps, most reason to fear a slack time. But, on| the other hand, the war itself acj tually stimulates production ir* many directions.

Among many admirable- qualities that the British people are exhibiting exhibiting just now, not the least admira ble is the cool way in which they are adapting themselves to abnormal abnormal commercial conditions. Cour- 1 age and swiftness of action on the part of those in authority, combined with common-sense and coolness on the part of the main -body of the general public, are enabling them to make the best of wholly unprecedented unprecedented economic conditions. And (as so often happens) they are finding finding the reality of every-day commercial commercial life in war-time far less terrible terrible than they would have expected expected before they tasted it. In.days not long gone by, whenever the mere possibility of a vast European war, with Great Britain for a participant participant in it, was contemplated, there were- not wanting prophets-- and many of them not -ill-informed people, either--who forecasted that, if Great Britain were not brought within a few weeks to the brink of starvation, her currency system would collapse, her sea-borne trade would do ditto, and her industries would stop almost of themselves. In the 'result, such forebodings have been proved unjustified. The reality maj 7 turn out to be stringent stringent and stern enough, but it is not --nor does it seem likely to be--a hundredth part as appalling as the state of terror which the imagination imagination conjured up. The nation knows that it has to fight économie difficulties difficulties of substance. But, at least, it has shaken itself free from the fear of. shadows. First of all, Great Britain knows that -she need no longer dread any grave shortage in her food supply. Secondly, she need fear no currency crisis. Thirdly, she has her trade routes open. The Atlantic and the Mediterranean alike are, for practical practical purposes, safe for her shipping. With the great water-ways of the world clear -for their, transpo*, she .can both get her raw material from every country, save those with whom she is. at war, or those s-o actually affected . by the war that they can provide none, and she can send her manufactures into every country save those in which the war has wiped out her market. Her European market" has, of course, been seriously diminished.
