THE JAPAN-CHINESE SITUATION
If China stands her ground and pro
vokes war with Japan it may be accept
ed that she has an understanding with
Russia and other powers to the effect
that she will not be left alone in the
matter. To a man a.-* faraway from the
scene of trouble as the coast of Alaska
it seems that Japm is about to discover
herself in an awkward position. She
has behavei* toward Chin* exactly as
she bthaved one before when she
kne* better thin did the rest of the
world her ability to cope with the mon
ster of the orient and drew to herself
the sympathy of the world by her bold
ness, and the fa;t that sie had a reas
onably good caus?, as the world under
stood it.
But times have changed. The shoe
is on the other foot. It is China that
has the good cause, and everybody now
understands that China is a negligible
quantity In the matter of lighting and
Is ready to givj that a'd and asaistance
known as moral support? which is
much in itself aud must go before any
other kind of suoport? and Japan, by
her oookino?? has invited tbft world to
rather enjoy seeing her get a licking.
Japan is doing now exactly th? things
for which she went to war with Russia
and China for doing.
She fell herself at that t:rae to be
seconded by all right thinking people in
resorting to arms. She Is prepiring
herself to experience the reverse of that
situation in an extremity, ller ally,
Euglaad, has already signified her lack
of stomach for the engagement. Japan
has e-iraoee d England bv encouraging
revo.t against England, in India. Eng
land has serious business to engage her
in this v:ry matter. It may mean large
cost of money and men to England, this
affair In India? chargable tn a manner
to Japan. It is uo embarrassing busi
ness, therefore, between the two.
Russia has a little affair on with Tur
key but she w II no doubt find time and
excuse to at leas: pat China on the back
in any blood letting In Manchuria,
Uncle Sam while not likely to fire any
of the big array of gur.s he has floated
round the horn can at least frown
migbtly and see to It that there Is no
aiding or abeting of Japan in the break
ing of pac's with which she has entered
under other circumstances with him.
Between then and now there is a differ
ence.
The above wis written with the
news of yesterday as text. Since be
ing put in type the news of today shows
the value of the qualifying first sen
tence "IF China stan 's her ground"
* TOWN OF BROTHERS
After spending a few days io Skag

White returns to Whiteborse and pr'nts
the following in tbo issue of the Star
just received. No better thing could
be siii of any community. Under the
head above runs this:
"Skagway is a small place but there
is probiblv no town its size on the con*
tinent where the principles involved in
the expression "The Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man" are more
closely lived up to than in Skagway.
There the Masons, E'ks, Eagle* and
Arctic Brothers all nave active organi

and prosperous condition. Better than
all, tb? brothers are true, one to aao

Most of the Alaskans wit ? ct" '
this winter with the hopw wi
money for the development cf their
v rious properties, are meeting with
rery little success. The people who
hiv; the money are hauging onto it,
and get-rich-quick enterprises are not
so attractive as they were a year or so
a^o, and even legitimate propositions
have lost a great deal of their magnet
iam, Many of the promoters are hope
ful that business will be better and
financial conditions easier before the
winter is over, but this is only a matter
of conjecture, and in most cases the
wish is father to the thought.
