THE ORIENTAL SITUATION.
With Japan ready to deliver an ulti
matum to her western neighbor, in
sisting on the extraordinary demands
previously presented, the Oriental sit
uation is again assuming an alarming
aspect with an imminent prospect that
the two nations will ultimately lock
liorns. What nations or influences are
behind the sudden and unexpected
refusal of China to accede to the high
handed attempt of the Japanese to be
come. if not the suzerian. at least the
dominant power in the Chinese repub
lic, can only he guessed, but at the
same time it is clear that encourage
ment to resist has been forthcoming
from some quarter. China, left to her
own resources, is helpless before the
armed strength of her powerful neigh
bor. Despite the vast masses of her
inhabitants, China lias little nr no army
fit to cope with the thoroughly efficient
and excellently controlled troops of
Japan; she has no adequate scheme of
national defense, no money, not even a
united people to face a common foe in
the event that Japan presses her rapa
cious demands to the extreme. In the
event of war It is highly probable that
the followers of the deposed Manchu j
dynasty will seize the opportunity to
regain their former grip on the nation
and it is equally probable that the
southern districts, which are at all
times on the border of disaffection, will
rise in revolt against the central power,
with the ultimate result that a condi
tion will arise differing from that ob
taining in Mexico only in the degree
that it will be more extensive. China
realizes this vital weakness as surely
as does Japan, who is no doubt count
ing on the general disloyalty for a large
measure of assistance in gaining her
ends. And. it is probably this know
ledge more than any other factor that
has led to her unsupportable demands.
In fact this condition is even greater
power in the interests of Japan than is
the Japanese army. A disunited and
naturally rebellious people are easy
victims for the designing usurper and
it is more than probable that Japan,
while ostensibly only seeking an op
portunity for industrial expansion, in
tended to retain her hold on the nation
by fomenting further discord among
the several sections, china unques
tionably realizes to the full the situa
tion with which she is confronted, and
her sudden and preemptory refusal of
nearly all the Japanese demands can
not therefore be accounted for save on
the theory that her statesmen have
either lost their senses or that succor
Its assured from some unguessed quar
ter, in the event of Japan becoming bel

SOME ADVICE TO GERMAN
AMERICANS.
Representative Bartholdt and his as
sociates are doing Germany no good,
and they are doing themselves much
harm, by their pernicious pro-Ger
man propaganda
When they threaten to carry Ger
many's case to the polls and make the
German cause an issue in American
politics they are playing with dyna
mite. The American people will not
tolerate such a campaign of alienism,
and the chief sufferers will tip the so
called German-\mericnns who plot it
Germany is the onlv country en
gaged in this war which lias officially
undertaken to manipulate American
opinion. It is the only belligerent
which maintains a lobby in the T'nited
States to incite public sentiment
against the other belligerents with
which we are friendly The onlv for
eign element in this country which is
: assailing the president of the T'nited
States and seeking to bulldoze the gov
ernment of the T'nited States is the
’ German element, and that sort of
thing can he easily overdone
Bong after this war Is over Mr Bart
holdt and hts associates will have to
1 live in this country. Few of them will
voluntarily return to Germany to help
pay tiie cost of the conflict. Their real
interests are all in the I'nited States,
and the sooner they reconcile them
selves to being Americans the better.'
I Whatever thdr sentimental uttaeh
i i
merits to the fatherland may lie. a Ger
man victory could not help them and
i German defeat could not harm them
When thev war against the president
of the t'nited States, the congress of
the t'nited States, and the general wel
fare of the t'nited States thev are war
ring against themselves.
It is a pity ttiat Carl Kchurz is not
alive io preach a iitile wholesome com
mon sense to Germa n - A mericans who
1 have succumbed to the pan-German
propaganda and who are following
' am h blind leaders as Representative
Bartholdt. Me could have told them
1 that when they undertake to organize
pan-German into a political party in
the t'nited States thev are inviting
reprisals that are not likely to ccasOj
when a treaty of peace is signed
The American people will not In
d' finitelv submit to alien meddling in
their domestic affairs. Thev will not
countenance the sacrifice of American
interests to foreign privilege They will
loot allow tiie peace and the securitv of
■lie t'nited States to he jeoparded by a
l foreign propaganda for the benefit of a
foreign nation ihat has involved itself
in a world war. if Mr. Bartholdt and
bis associates do not understand this,
we are sorry for them, because the' are
piling up trouble for themselves
This country once had an alien law
on its statute books. It might tic very
reluctant to enact a similar statute,
but every day German-Americans ns
Richard Bartholdt are breaking down
this reluctance.—New York World
