“To our thinking. those who consid

real opinton of our people and ignore
the position which we occupy in our
relation to other nations. Should the
allled nations really be In need of our

will communicate formally with our

neceasity of assisting the Allies. Ja
pan is confronted with several Impor
tant questions relating to the Far
East which await urgent settlement,
and the allied nations would do well
to remember that she can not afford
to send her troops to Burope’”
The Toklo Yorodzu, on the olher
hand, prints an editorial in the French
language and says that Japinese par
ticipation would be accepted with joy
by France, which has never raised or
troubled itself with the question of
races. England and Russia, far from
opposing the scheme, thought the
newspaper, would be equally happy at
Japanese assistance. The writer
adds:
~ “On the day we decide to act in Eu
}ropo we will receive from tne Allles a
formal guarantee of advantages which
will indemnify us for all sacrifices. As
to the question of transports, that has
already been settled, for the Anglo-
Japanese alllance has always suggest -
ed the possibility of Japanese inter

Britain”
The journal says Japanese partici
pation would hasten the end of the
great war, which is so terrible even
for neutral countries where stagna
tion of business increases from day to
day and general misery is piling up.
1t concludes that the military inter:
vention of Japan is not only possible,
but necessary for the good of Japan
and the good of the world

London's famous clubs probably will
be forced to close, as their limt of

with the dally attendance growing
smaller, many of them have been
forced to put up their prices for
meals. This, for instance, is the Case
with both the Carlton and the Con

The distress of the exclusive clubs
o due partly to the desire 10 ecOno

it is hardly appropriate to call them
night clubs any more, when their

Doubtless this is what General
Joffre meant in his startling inter

are wearing the uniforms of the great

(Jeneral Joffre's implied inference
that the recruits of the Prussian
Guards will not come up to the stand

misleading. The stern school of war
makes veterans very rapidly.

BERLIN, Feb, 27.—Whlle he admits
much remains to be done before the
Kaiser can dictate terms of peace to
the nation& involved in the war, Gen

declared in an interview with The

Count Moltke began the conversa

“You want to make sure whether 1
am &atill alive, don't you?"
General von Moltke was asked con
cerning reports that he had been the
head of the war party and was one of
those responsible for the war.
“Nobody in Germany wanted the
war,” he sald; “neither.l nor anybody
elge. We were provoke in a manner

we h wanted to fight, we had far

While at the front, especially in
Flanders, | was astonished at the way
the Qermans kept filling up the gaps
in their ranks. During some of the
flercest fighting at Laßassee T was
with the 114th Infantry at Baden,
General von Emmich's old regiment n
‘the Fourteenth Army Corpe.
Immediately after the first hand-to.
‘hand fight with the English at Gi
vanchy, close to Laßassee, which I
witnessed, this regiment, which had
marched out of Konstanz 3,000 men
strong. had only 343 men left.
Of the officers, the regiment had
lost its colonel, lleutenant colonel,
senior major and twelve out of lis
thirteen company captains, besides
nineteen Heutenants.
Yet the places of all these men were
&rmntly filled by reinforcemnts from
onstanz, while the places of the
fallen officers were filled either by re
gerve officers or by promotions, whicn
in the case of lieutenants came from
the ranke.
the Germans so overwhelmingly that
their comparatively few successes
have received little credit.
KEvery time Hindenburg delivers
another smashing blow at the Rus
slans, requiring the withdrawal of
Clerman reserves from the west front,
the French and English take advan
tage of this weakening of their foe o
resume their offensive.
To Be Long, Strenuous War.
Similarly, every time the Germans
try to take the offensive in the west
they immediately find themselves hard
beset by the Russians in their rear—l
mean the east front. Therefore, big
victories over the Russians appear lo
have little more effect than punching
a balloon. The moment the punch
stons, the balloon bulges out again.
In view of this situation, I do not
share the belief of most Germans that
a complete overthrow of the Russians
may be taken as the beginning of the
end. So far as 1 can judge, the war
has settled down to a sheer endurance
contest, with no end in sight but mu
tual exhaustion.
It remains to be seen whether the
British navy will not be found just as
efficient now as in the days of the
Battle of the Nile, of Trafalgar, or
Copenhagen, when Admiral Nelson
laid the firm foundation of England's
sea power.

question from division headquarters,

Finds Short Men Are
The Better Fighters
Physiology Doctor of Guy's Hospital
Declares Tall Persons Are
Heavy and Slow.
LONDON, Feb, 27.—The short man
makes the better fighter, says Dr. M. 8.
Pembrey, lecturer on physiology at
Guy's Hospital, London, in a discussion
before the Royal Sanitary Institute.
This he bases on a careful study of the
fighting capacity of tall and short races
and also of the tall men and short men
of the same race.
The essential organs in the nead and
trunk are often better developed in the
short than in the tall man, the wol{gt
of brain bflnfl relatively greater in the
short man and the reaction time not so
long. The tall men of full proportions
are heavy and slow.

of bringing this simple, natursl fact home at present arises from
three considerations .
1. The danger of obscuring the real issues of the war by the
false issue of meutrality of Belgmum b .

Of Victory Over England
“Victory or defeat of the belliger

either justice, human rights, ethnoloy,

“Neutrality and Monroe's folly be

realities do we find unmasked by thei
disappearance? Simply that it opens
to any government or combination of
governmenis that declare it to gake
war on any state that invadee certain
specified territory.

or acquire any right to do such thing,
but all states have the means to

fective, practical substitute for then
right, but nothing can give that might
