By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. Special Correspondent of the Mall Tribune. (Copyright, 11121, by tho Mall Trillium) TOKIO, June 11. In seventy years Japan rose from nothing at all to a place at tho Selectest Table of tho Mightiest here below; from a handful of comical slabsidcd junks to this vast fleet of steel merchantmen plowing sc many" seas. And litis is Hie thing which has made most of the trouble, this samo dazzling flight from the rem rank lo the front; It started tho brood of fantastic misgivings. Hero was a nation which hail taken gigantic strides. Suppose it should keep on striding? Seventy more years al this into would niako Japan tho scowling nienaco of tho world. It' wns a fear- sonio thought to European trade In the Far East. Fear breeds aversion, avor slon heeds fakes, and there you aro Next, they are an easy people t" imagine unpleasant things about, tho y are so devilishly unattractive. They BO their way without conversational graco ami looking socretlve, as If full of strategcius and spoils. Hence, for ono example, the fixed, immovable conviction of all tho outside world that Japan has a definite and depraved plan to Bwallow China and then attack the rost of us. But first absorb Chlnn. There are about 400,000,000 Chinese and (whatever you may have heard) only about 50,000,000 Japanese. Tho swallowing, therefore, would seem to he some job tho swordflsh swallow Ing tho whale but not too miicli, for dreamors of dreams that at long range view the Orient. Baron Ijuln Interviewed If any man In Japan or elsowhoro ought to know all this it Is Baron H. Ijuln, thirty years In tho diplomatic servico and most of his active varied lifo having been spent in China. From second deputy vice consul, or some thing like that, ho roso by earned pro motions to ho minister lo China, then ambassador to Italy, then member of tho peace conference. In his long real denco In China ho studied and observ ed and connoted so well that now ho Is become the first Japanoso authority ort things Chinese, i wished particu larly to get his opinions on this sword fish and whale business hecauso for years ho had been on tho insldo of Japan's policy about China, had car ried It out and helped to frame it therefore ho was the first class Judgo. When tho enso was put up to him he niado this significant response: "in my almost thirty years ot dlplo niatlo servico I havo seen at close rango sonio interesting events the Chlno-Japaneso war, tho Hoxer upris ing, tho Ilusso-Japaneao wnr, tho Jap aneso campaign against German pow or. But in all that timo I havo never known a moment when tho Japanese policy toward China showed any ten dency to territorial aggrandizement. "For example, tho war with China did not orlglnato in any desiro or de sign of Japan to add a foot to her tor rltory. Peking thought political con dltlons in Japan mnilo tho timo rlpo to snizo Korea, totally disregarding China's treaty engagements with Japan. If China got Korea Japan's life would lie In imminent danger. We fought for self-jircsrvnllon. As to Formosa "At tho end ot tho war, Formosa and tho Llaotung peninsula wero cod ed to Japan, not bocatiHo Japan was hungering for more- land but because China was In such a state that a third power would havo taken possession of theso strategic points. Formosa In tho hands of a big naval power would have mndo Japan's position In tho Far East untenable; wo acquired it for solf defense. Similarly about Llaotung peninsula. T third power there would havo menaced tho security of China, Korea and Japan. Tho justlco of this position was proved when tho ponln- sula became Russian and tho throe eastern provinces ot China were brought Into the tussluit sphere of In fluence. "Tho Russo-Japaneso war, again, was brought about by the diplomatic muddling of tho Chinese government, trying, as wag Its practice, to set one power against another. China allowed Russia to use Manchuria (a Chinese province) as a baso of operations, from (Continued on pago six.) Bank Bandits Escape With $4,500 in Cash And Cashier's Wife SPOKAXK, June 11.

W. C. A. this year than did lust year. The averago gift from tho people of small menus was wonderful, meaning in many cases a sacrifico in order to give. The committee also wish to thank the Walker Auto Co., for allowing Y. W. C. A. Iieadiiuarters to be In their building. In fact, Mcdford may well bo proud of tlie way In which her citi zens worked and gavo, to put this campaign for the Y. W. C. A. over tho top.
