If so, this will give them an advantage over their own compatriots. The position of the German merchant in Japan during the war has been a unique one. He has resided, with perfect security, in a country at war with his own. This, of course, is to the credit of the Japanese Government and people, but when we go back to the wars with China and Russia, and remem ber the spy-heating which went on then, war the and how during the Russian

JapuncED merchants seem to be awaiting the open- ing of Germany for supplies of goods which they require, and lately a large commercial firm sont some of its expert employés to Europe with instructions to get into Germany as soon as possible. This does not seem to indicate any inten- tion on the part of Japan to adopt the attitude of the other Allies in their relations with Germany.

"EARLY BIRD CATONES THE WORM."
As Sergeant Ferguson, of the Shanghai Municipal Police, was taking an early morning stroll, in plain clothes, through the Public Gardens on the Bund on March 3rd, he saw a man carrying a bag in each band. Finding that he was watched, the man threw the bags into the Soochow Creek, whence they were hauled up later and found to contain the jewell- lery stolen from Mr. K. Mikimoto's shop early in December. The stolen jewellery was valued at $63,000, and only a few pieces--one of which is valued at evor $1,000-are missing. For their recovery. a reward of $3,000 was offered.
