The Japanese, we may be aure, are actively making preparations to deliver an effective stroke as soon as the proper moment arrives From Washing ton it is announced that they are negotiat ing with the lewders of the anti-Bolshevik party with a view to rendering som form of political aid and are endeavour ing to raise a Russian division to co- operate with them. China, which is vitally concerned in the issue, has mobilized fifty thousand troops in Her lungkiang and Kirin for despatch to the frontier where some of them have already arrived and are constructing defensive works. It is to be hoped that the North and South will seize the opportunity now afforded them of proving the patriotism they profess by uniting in the face of the common foe and taking immediate steps effectively to guard their Northern and Western frontiere from invasion.
