deserted her at the time of crisis. In order

to preserve the balance of power in the Far East, it is essential that the Anglo- Japanese alliance should be maintained, and, if it is the intention of the Britistr Government to continue that alliance and retain Japan's friendship. it is becoming more than ever apparent that Britain's relation to Japan must be something more than sympathetic.

It is difficult at the present moment to see how Britain can avoid taking up arma in aid of her Japanese ally Japan must be maintained as a first-rate Power in the Pacific. Unless Great Britain is content to play a secondary role in Far Eastern affairs, she must assist Japan to maialain the balance of power. Without British naval assistance, Japan cannot emerge un- beaten from a conflict with Russia: The question of the hour is-In the event of

Whatever may be their estimate of the Japanese forces, they cannot be ignorant of the advantages which their enemy would enjoy at the beginning of a struggle. In the long run they might, perhaps, hope to woar down their smaller opponent, but

then in the long run many other things

might happen. It is abundantly clear that China cannot be treated as a negligible quantity in this complication, The Chinese did not acquiesce in the occupation of Kuld- ja; they are not likely to sit down ander the seizure of Manchuria. We hear a good deal of Chinese Military preparation, of the mustering of foreign-drilled troops by Yuan-shi-kai, distribution of rifles and so saunition. The Russian Generals may te. gard the Chinese armies with justifiable contempt, but they cannot be indifferent to the possible consequences of a movement China in aid of Japan, Nor, indeed, can anyone else.

Reasons for Supporting Japan.

In a subsequent issue, our London con- temporary said :---

It is, indeed, the very gravity of the issue which offers the best ground for the hope of a pacific solution. Both parties risk so much that they must be fottered, and al- most overwhelmed, by the magnitude of their responsibilities. It is no ordinary -conflict on which the two Powers would embark. The question is vital for Japon, and scarcely less so for Russia. And, what is moro, it closely concerns everybody elsu. 'The inducements for all the other Great Powers to urge moderation are too pressing to bo neglected. Every effort would, of course, be made to localine the contest; but, with the sincerest intentions in the world, it is impossible to be sure that these endeavours would be success. ful. It.

hot merely the integrity KELLY & WALSH,

of China,hich all Europe and the United States have bound themselves to respect, that is involved. Whatever might be the result of the initial campaign, there would be serious risk of a wider conflagra- tion. If the Japanese Navy proved strong enough to inflict a severe defeat on the Russian Fleet, and, perhaps, to capture Port Arthur by a coup de main, Russia could not sit down under the reverse. She would be compelled to repair it at all costs, poli- rical and Military. If she can call an ally to her aid, she would think no sacrifice too great to obtain the assistance of another Nuvy. On the other hand, if the Japanese were defeated, oither at first or after some preliminary successes, the fate of the Island Empire would be sealed. And at would become a most anxious ques- tion for the Allies of Japan whether they would be justified, or they would even be able, to remain quies cent while the balance of power in the Far East was being overturned, and the rising State that might net as a counterpoise to Russian domination in the Northern Pacific reduced to powerless vassalago. Great Britain, the United States, France, and Germany are all interested in this contin- gency, and their Statesmen must recognise the difficulty with which, at one stage or Another, intervention would be avoided, This is what renders the imbroglio so critical. But, on the other hand, it is so much to everybody's interests that the crisis should develop no further, that we cannot yet believe the calamity will be allowed to occur.

An Opinion from Vienna.

The Vienna correspondent of the dard wrote on the 30th December:-

The semi-official Politische Correspondenz publishes to-night the following statement about the views held in responsible quar. tera in England :-* English Diplomacy is still endeavouring, so far as lies in its power, to assist in the maintenance of peace; and that not only on account of the King's peace-loving disposition, but for the sake of England's interests in Eastern Asia. It is unnecessary to consider all the .contingencies which might establish a casus foderis according to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty, to recogniso that England could not look on passively, if certain events occurred, in view of her own position in the Far East and of her posi-

tion as Japan's ally. She could not quietly witness the overthrow of her ally without injury to her own prestige; while a change in the balance of power in Eastern Asia would involve very acnsible It is clear, damage to English intorests. therefore, that in all authoritative quarters in London there is a sincero wish that hostilities between Russia and Japan may be averted, and that the English Govern- ment is doing its best in favour of a pacific understanding.'

paper

In the Sun, the great London the other day, I read the story of another factory-girl's life. In this is there was no complaint of the Wages. She was an Indiarubber Macintosh maker, who earned good money. But she said that almost all girls were too weak for their work. They were thin, palo, breathless, armic. She

had been like that herself: Dr. Williams' pink pills are what made her strong and Pnabled her to get on with her work. Read her words."

The case proved to be that of Miss Seach 3, Atleyroad, Old Ford, London. She had

aid to the Sun:

I

When I was eighteen years old I began to suffer from anæuis and indigestion. was obliged to be away from business for three months, and then when I went back

I often used to faint at the work bench. They were very good to me at the factory, and used to do all they could.

I WAS BO weak that I had to sit down very ofton. My head ached terribly, and everything I ate gave me fearful pain. I was atton- ded by three doctors, and I went to a hospital and a dispensary. I was at home ill half the time I should have been work. ing

This went on until last February, when on the advice of one of the girls at the works. who said they had cured her of indigestion and headaches, I tried a bottle of Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people, After that first bottle I felt much better, and the painful palpitation of the heart stopped. I took four bottles, and by that time I was quite well. I can't tell you how happy I felt. Now I never have a day's sickness of any kind, and I can go on with my work like the strongest of them,"
