THEY were talking about the far
easterji question and the limita
tion of arms conference and all
that. The group was composed ap
parently well-educated men and
women, leaders in their communi
ties. .
"I suppose tiiat the far east Is one
of the few places where western
civilization has yet to conquer," spoke
one.
"And just think of those millions
of Chinese and Coreans anl Japanese
all doing business according to the
same methods and In the same ways
their (creat-great-Breat-grandi'athers
did," suggested another.
"It seems funny to suggest it," said
a "wise" student' of psychology or
psycho-analysis (or one of its rela
tions), "but do you suppose that'the
peculiar language that they speak
over there and the obsolete form of
writing that they still employ has
anything to do with their backward
ness in accepting western methods?"
And that is Just about the generaJ
ly understood idea of the countries
of China, Corea. Siberia and Japan by
tho "average" citizen and even by the
better read persons who are supposed
to know.
The above group liyed in and
around Washington and prided them
selves on their worldly knowledge.
KIplinK Held Wrong.
Ferhaps Kipling's old lines:
The Ent is East and the West Is West.
And never the Iwain shall meet.
is partly to blame. But if- Kipling
has had anything to do with It he
must be accused of beina wrong so
far as spme sections of the orient are
concerned wrong to a degree that
9'J persons out of every 100 living in
America little realize.
.For instance:
"We had left Mukden In the eve
ning about 8 o'clock on a railroad
that was for all the world like many
of the fast lines of America. A solid
train of Pullman sleepers, compart
ment cars, diner and smoking car,
drawn by a big mogul-type passen
ger locomotive over a broad-gauge
roadbed t .at was as firm and well
made as -the most particular section
boss could demand.
"The rails were heavy 90 pounds.
I think they told me laid on the
standard gauge. It all made a de
cided contrast to those over which
we had been traveling recently. The
train got under way with as little
effort as any we -had ever been on.
Soon the rails were clicking away
under us as we sped at a 45-iiille clip
across open country that surrounds
the ancient capital of the Manchus."
American Kailroud Built.
So writes a friend and from the
orient, from the far east, the very far
east that is troubling the best diplo
matists of the world today. You'll
have to admit that it is quite a dif
ferent picture from the one that you
generally conjure up when you think
of this section of the world, won't
you?
And it is different, too. It's a most
interesting etory:
In ancient Manchuria there runs a
railway that is thoroughly American
in style, In appointments, in equip
ment, in manner of operation, in al
most everything except ownership.
In fact, were it not for the officials
of the road you could close your eyes
and easily imagine that this same
railroad was o,ver in the United
States. You can do it without clos
ing your eyes. If you don't look at
tlie conductor or out of the window.
And just as an added proof that
this article is not leading you astray
when you read more about this super
modern railway in an ancient land,
you may read the following sentence
from a bulletin issued by the Guar
antee Trust company of New York,
which says on page 18, along with
much statistical matter of trade, ex
port, sub-passes and customs:
The South Manchurlan express This is
the finest train in the far east, connect
ing with the trans-Siberian railway at
Harbin. The appointments of this train
are nnrT excelled anywhere. The sleepers
are all in compartments, each accommo
dating two person.1. There Is hot andculd
water In each compartment.
So lou see it Is not to be denied.
Ferhaps you are thinking that it is
no wonder that the far east is writ
ten as a question and dAcussed by
statesmen,
Road Breomlng Known.
jne siiuin aiHiii-iiuiian railway is
slowly becoming known among a'1
class; of travelers who re fastidious
as to a class A train. They have it
so marked in their "Blue Books."
This section of the earth is becoming
"of supreme Importance by way of
contrast between the east and -the
west. It is an example of what the
east can do when awakened.
Japanese financiers have been quick
to understand the advan Cages of west-
ern railroads. In epite of all that la
said about their diplomatic methods,
they have snown wonderful ability
In adapting the western way of doing
things to the section of the world
which they seek to dominate.
Taking a leaf from the "annotated
time-table of the Canadian Pacific
railway," they have, established a se
ries of fine hotels to go along with
heir new-born railway. The hotels
are in every way fit to be compared
with those of America.
Taking this modern railway at
Mukden, you ride w the standard
Pullman, attended by a uniformed
porter. You awaken 'n "the morning
feeling very much as you would were
you riding in one of the erack trans
continental trains at home. You' look
out of your window when seated in
the dining car and find that you are
approaching a city. The smelia of
salt is in the air. You are near
Dairen, the wonderful, all-year ice
free port of Manchuria. '
Station Is Modern.
You'll find the station there like
any modern station. There's a sub
way for passengers' exit under the (
tracks. There is a carriage and mo
tor stand. If you Have availed your
self of all -the conveniences of this
modern railway in an ancient land a
uniformed porter will meet you. for
he has been so advised by telegraph,
so as to make you comfortable in the
new place.
You go to the Yamato hotel, which
will prove another surprise to your
rapidly crumbling belief in a back
ward Manchuria. The hotel is op
erated by the railroad. They learned
that it Is good business to provide
such facilities of travel as would ap
peal to the passenger of discrimina.
tion and money and cause him to be
really interested in the city. Tkey
want him to want to stay awhile. Be
cause of this foresight, it car. be said
that the hotel is at least wi yeurs
ahead of the city. It is onTjr appre
ciated by Americans and Europeans
and some Japanese., but its erection
and expert managem?nt are but fur
ther evidences of the ability of the
Japanese to imitate and to adapt.
It begins to look as if the east is
becoming the west, doesn't it?
x Dairrn Is Terminus.
Dairen is the terminus of this won
der railway of the east. It exercises
large influence there and can be said
to control the city even as the early
transcontinental railway of America
controlled the cities and towns along
its right of way.
Away back in the early days the
Chinese had a name for the place
which meant "Black Mud Hollow,"
then the British and the French made
it a base of -operation when attacking
Pekin, and later on it was leased to
Russia, and the old Chinese Eastern
railway, which was not Chinese but
Russian, controlled the place.
The "city" had yet to come, how
ever. The story goes that Count
Witte of the old Russian empire saw
the wonderful possibilities of the spot
and rehearsed the matter in such a
vivid manner before the czar that he
had the monarch fascinated. True to
Imperial traditions, the White Father
called his ministers together and
placing his finger upon the map at
that point said: "Build here a city
that will be the finest of Its kind in
all Asia, a fitting reminder of our
lanfl. And let the . name be Dalny,
the 'Far Away,' an outpost of our em
pire." Count Witte Builder.
With such a ukase behind him.
Count Witte began work on such a
style and with such conceptioifs that
rivaled the greatest dreams of any
ancient conqueror.
It was such a location that the Jap
anese took over when they made
peace following the old Russian-Japanese
war. They were quick to re
alize its possibilities, quicker than
the Russians had been. They aban
doned Port Arthur, not far distant,
and concentrated on Dairen. They
changed the name to the present one,
which translated means literally
"Great Connection."
When the strife of war had passej
and the leases of the Russian govern
ment had passed Into the handti of
her conqueror the South Manchurian
railway was found to be supreme!. It
was backed by government funds, of
ficered by government men and made
the commercial agent of the Japanese
Imperial government in that section
of the orient. It is still that. .
And because of the fact that the
Japanese government controls this
rapidly developing railway and its
subsidiary concerns the whole thing
becomes one of prime importance and
interest right at this time, when, the
smiling and yet astute men of the
rising sun kingdom come to the west
to bargain and to barter for supreme
control in Manchuria, In China proper
and Just as far on the Pacific as good
diplomacy will permit.

Korea; the southern part of the
peninsula is washed by the waters of
the Yellow sea and the Gulf of Pechill.
It lies in about the same parallels of
latitude as the northern half of the
United States. .
This same Manchuria, the home ot
the Manchu dynasty from the great
and terrible Genghis Khan of 1260,
now enjoys greater facilities of rail
way transportation than any other
part of China-because of the energy
shown by the Japanese in pushing its
development and realizing its great
wealth, agriculturally and in min
erals. Mukden, the capital, isf great in
terest because of its ancient history
and the wonderful and still gorgeous

Road Born in Toklo. ,
This railway was born in Tokio in
1906 by imperial decree. It immedi
ately became something more than a
railway, something more than a
transportation system. It became the
arm of power of the Japanese im
perial government. It became the
great develaffng power in that sec
tion of the far east.
The South Manchuria Railway com
pany operates steel works, collieries,
water works, -electric plant, gas
works, building, projects, laboratories'
and experiment station. And accord
ing to one of its oficial bulletins
"city building and administration are
also a part of the railway's work."
It even goes further than that: It
conducts schools, hospitals, hotels,
banks, clubs, bureaus, etc.. until there
Fengtein, I seems to tie no end to its colossal
It has an 1 undertakings.
Yet with all itH morlernitv. even
though it Reems to work with the
power and' long-sightedness of des
potic -control, it Is not such a phys
ically great railroad. ..'That is. its
transportation lines, its tracks, are
almost insignificant when compared
with thesrailways of America.
Trark. 700 Miles Long.
It has but 700 miles of .track in
operation. In addition to these 700
miles, however, the company has been
"intrusted with the management" of
the entire system of government
railways in Corea, and this means
100 more miles 800 miles in all. The
phrase "intrusted with the manage
ment" is quoted from an official
bulletin. It means much. Sometimes
the Coreans cause it to mean a great
deal that is unlovely and distasteful.
Bearing in mind again the present
conference at Washington, note the
wonderful assets of this government
owned and controlled railway in
Manchuria and it- "intrusted'" rail
way in Corea.
B'irst, there is the famous Fushun
colliery. This great coal mine, or
rather a series of mines, is but 2
miles southeast of Mukden. These
mines are remarkable for their thick
ness of seams. They are estimated
at 150 feet, with a width of 400 feet
The daily output at present is more
than 10,000 tons, with a conservately
estimated potential output of 1
200.000.
The Fushun coal mines are part of
the natural wealth of Manchuria and
controlled by the Tailway.
Laboratory Is Operated.
An asset that is becoming of
greater value constantly and is one
of the evidences of the far-sighted
policies of the management is the
research laboratory. It is of the
most modern kind and works out its
experiments along such practical
lines as better methods and ways of
dyeing and weaving. Bilk filature,
ceramic art, methods for manufactur
ing salt, glass, pulp for paper from
kaoliang stalks, the analyses of coal
and iron ores and experiments in the
possibilities of the soya bean and
many other things almost too numer
ous to mention.
U Then there are the great Anshan
steel works. American engineers
estimate that these works may soon
rival the big ones in America, The
Japanese themselves say that the fu
ture source of steel in the far east
Is at Anshan.
The South Manchuria railway acts
as the godfather to these manufac
tories and to the extensive mines of
iron ore. There are said to be sev
eral million tons of ore located in
the immediate vicinity of Anshan.
Right now there are two blast fur
naces in operation. It is hoped ulti
mately, so the railway officials say,
that- an annual production of 1,000,000
tons will be reached.
Road Pushes Ahead.
Yet in all of these things the rail
road is pushing ahead rapidly. There
is even a South Manchurian medical
college (Nanman. Igakudo) which be
gan in September. 1911. In 1920
there were 109 students enrolled, 69
of these being Chinese.
The school work of the railway Is
one of great interest. It evidences as
perhaps nothing else does the far
sighted policy of the government.
And while the British In India have
specialized on higher education and
grades of learning and the teaching
of the classical while the great mass
of the population received no educa
tion and have become the prey of
clever agitators, who cleverly turned
them against the government that
educated them, their allies, the Jap-"
anese, have learned better, for
through the South Manchurian rail
way they have begun at the bottom,
with the children.
They have not,forgotten the higher
branches, as the medical colleges and
schools will show, nor have they neg
lected manual schools, as the techni-
f-cal schools will show.
Klrmrntary Schools Opened.
Beginning in 1907, when the first
elementary schools were opened by
the railway, there were but 262 chil
dren attending. In 1913 there were
2618 and 1919 there were 7626. The
figures for 1920 are not available.
In the wonder city of Dairen there
is a normal school where the teachers
for the primary school system are
trained along western lines. There is
also a reference museum there.
In order to encourage education
among the children in a country
where the youngest work and their
consequent expenses while attending
and going to school would be apt to
deter their parents ' from sending
them, the railway has granted chil
dren "free passage from intermediate
school towns. Where the winters are
severe and traveling, for the little
ones difficult children's dormitories
are conducted and maintained.
Aft this is a part of this ultra-modern
railway. It is indeed an operat
ing medium with power that stops
just short of life and death over the
inhabitants of the country. Yet It
seems to be seeking honestly to build
up the resources of that region and
make the inhabitants more prosper
ous. Country Opened by Russia.
It seems but yesterday since Man
churia was "The Forbidden Land,"
the part of China from which foreign
ers were most rigorously debarred.
Since the childhood of men and wom
en alive today It was practically im
possible for any foreginer to put foot
in Manchuria, much less travel in
modern comfort across its plains en
Joying its old-world scenery.
Less than a generation ago the
Russians opened up the country for
themselves, but it was the Japanese,
during the last dozen years or so,
who have made it accessible for the
whole world.
Yet even today it Is hardly known
as compared with other parts of the
far east. Yet here is a bit of old
China undergoing rapid and dramatic
changes. Here the ancients rub el
bows with efficient Japanese engi
neers who are running powerful
steam and electric locomotives.
Is it any wonder that the eyes. of
all nations are on Japan and upon
her methods and her ways of doing
things?
