As you have well appreciated, the genius of the Chinese Is for ex treme individualism and that of the Japanese for meticulous reg ulation, which fundamental pay ehologicaj difference makes it impossible for Chinese ever to be content with Japanese rulers. Compromise Will Have to be Reached "However, some kind . of com promise will have to be reached One ean feel only the utmost of sympathy for the Japanese civil ian group and Baron Shidehara, whose hands have-been forced by the military and the consequent fervor of patriotism sweeping the Japanese people. "As to tbe method used by the military, anyone must admit that it has been terrifically stupid, and is having a very vicious effect on the prospect of world peace, and bids fair to wreck Japan itself. Of course. China can only be 'benefitted ul timately. Just such a situation as this la what la seeded to create unity and strong nationhood In China, and once she is a unified, nation she ean take Mancnuria back whenever she is ready. There is a nrosoect that unless Japan can be wrecked, or can be brougnt to modify her position, by world pressure (which teems at tai writ In very unlikely) China'! government may be turned over to the Communist element for the sake of procuring alliance with Russia. Some Japanese militar ists are hoping for this develop ment so that they can appeal to us and to Europe for aid in fight ing the Bolshevik world. It would seem that only enough economic pressure to utterly ruin Japan and throw her Into race riots, and anarchy would now force the abandonment of Japan ese military ambitions, and I am sure we would hate to tnink that beautiful and orderly little country thrown into complete revolutionary cboaa. certainty u would not help business or cul tural or any other relations on the Pacific."

SHEPARD Choosing Between Trump and No-Trump. next two hands must be bid no-trumps. FASHIONS change in bidding as they do in clothing. There was a period of direct bidding when an opening bid of a auit strongly indicated a preference for playing the hand at that declara tion. Unless a powerful rait was keld the custom waa to bid no trumps upon strength ia three suits, regardless of what the fourth auit might contain. Then came an ultra fashion of always bidding a suit in prefer ence to no-trumps, unless the latter was guarded in all four suits; of course lack of a biddable suit re quired no-trumps to be bid upon three guarded suit, even if the fourth, auit waa unprotected. Now a slight backward swing of the pendulum of popularity does sot decree that no-trumps must aet be bid in ease a biddable suit ia held also. Probably one system fa not one whit better than an- thr, but custom decides what partner expects an opening bid to show in the bidders hand.

At Muk den we spent several hours copy ing the protest letters of British traffic managers to the Japanese authorities. We called on the Jap anese consul general, took mncn at the Yamata hotel where we found J. B. Powell and the other correspondents entirely unable to send out any material because of censorship. By the insistent aid of Alice and the Japanese taxi men, who apparently had been en couraged to help us make tbe first train out, we caught the train that afternoon for Harbin. We had a delightful two days there aa ruests of the Japanese consul general, who proved to be an old friend of ours once located In Se attle. He had been chiefly re sponsible for discouraging tne Japanese military from seising the Russian sphere of influence. I learned from the Russian rail road authorities here, aa we aiso did later in the ioreign oince i Moscow, that Russia will not dl ractlv Interfere unless the Japan- u rrnM her very border: but they will utilise the little island of Chinese sovereignty left around the railway to harass the Japan ese. The stories told of the Jap anese coup were very paineuc. Chinese soldiers, who always have their arms locked up for the eight, were demoralised and in many cases decimated before they knew who was shooting at them. As a piece of military strategy, however, the Japanese have shown that 15.000 men by aa ab solutely surprise attack can de moralise 250,000 practically without resistance.
