But the fact that so many Chinese have an opinion, and a very decided one, upon the subject proves that they refuse to admit any religious superiority on par part.

We pointed out some days ago that Japan automatically comes into the war under the terms of her alliance with Great Britain, for if the territorisi possessions or the special interests of either Power in the regions of Eastern Asia or of India are menaced, the Agree ment provides that the two Powera aball fully and frankly communicate with each other, and if by reason of unprovoked attack or
aggressive, action, wherever arising on the part of any other Power or Powers; either contracting party should be involved in war in defence of its territorial rights or special intereats mentioned in the Pream ble of the Agreement, the other contracting party will at once come to the assistance of its ally and will conduct the war in common and make peace in mutual agreement with it." It is, therefore not to be doubted the Japan, insurising" Germany to withdraw or disarm all her armed vessels in Japanese and Chinese Waters and deliver Kiaochow to Japan with a view to its eventual restoration to China, is acting with the fall pon currence and support of Great
