gain even a temporary ascendency, how Japan can avoid actual
participation in the conflict on European soil. While it is true
that the island empire has pledget! itself to confine its hostilities
te the Orient, yet the success of the Kaiser’s grey-clad columns
in Europe will be attended with deep significance and grave dan-
ger for Japan.
The German heart is bitter against the little brown man.
who has espoused a quarrel not his own. And the German arm,
should it dispose of the allied opposition, will rest but a moment
before it falls heavily upon the Japanese. Such is the hazard the
Mikado took, when he penned the document of regrets for war
and his lamented mother. Japan has taken a course that places
her very national existence in jeopardy. Events, too probable
to be overlooked, may speed her troop ships to the ports of
Europe.
Germany will unleash the Turk. Barbarians, thinly veneer
ed by modernism, will vie with civilized Christian comrades in all
the atrocities of ultra-modem conflict In France, in Germany,
andin Westminster crumble the bones of crusaders. These, fired
by faith and idealistic purpose, once drove the infidel with double
edged battle swords. The pagan war cry should turn them in
their tombs.
