The money, it is proposed, will be supplied In part by the provinces and in by the monarchy of Prussia. It ispart that the Prusprobable sian diet, which opened on January 13. will, before its conclusion, be asked to consider the proposition and vote the necessary money. The loans will be made at some low rate of Interest and will be repayable on easy terms. The provinces will repay to the state on the same basis, but the ministers announce that they are willing that 15 per cent of the state's money shall be held by the provincial authorities for the continuation of loans.

And the professor continues: "Japan stands for lovaltv and justice; Ger many for lovaltv and injustice; England for selfishness and disloyalty. It is because of this selfishness and that England, while speaking of ultimate victory is reporting daily by anadvance by an inch and retreats race other inch. The British are a We can-of long: sleeves' (poor fighters.) not afford to keep company with such a country." Prof. Masutaro Niita, another member of the staff of the imperial unicontributes an article in which versity, he declares that the development in-of national power and the Japan's crease of the navy may give a feeling of great anxiety to England and her in the orient, escolonial possessions as to of Australia. the fate pecially star indicates she must that Japan's her power on land and sea and develop should if Japan expand greatly, Engdoubtless would not like It. The land of the writer urges that out of responsibility the alliance is Japan arising than that of England and that greater at the present time England is using the treaty as a club to .best Japan. He thinks that the alliance has lost its foundation both for Japan and for England. China and India. To solve the problem of what effect the war will have upon the alliance one must decide what the result of the war will be. He thinks that while Germany is in a superior position at this time she will doubtless be humiliated by the entente powers. But Prof. Nilta that since the enare losing their strength tente powersfigures they will naturally wish to conclude peace in due time, a peace which, he thinks." will be made on terms of rethe antewar status and bounstoringlines as much as possible. The dary as to the burprofessor Is apprehensive den that may be placed upon Japan in the future on account of the alliances and he is fearful as to the safe outcome of Japan's policy in China, which is that of seeking economic development. To secure a market in India is next in importance to securing a market in China, in his opinion. He realizes that some Indians may think of the independence of India, but securing Is rather inclined to think that from the Japanese standpoint it is better that Indian remain under British rule. He added: of India cannot be ex"Independence in a short time. After Japan's pected has increased a great deal she power may think of extending her protecting hand to India." Prof. T. Fukuda expressed the opinion that after' the war the economic influence of Great Britain in the world will, to a certain extent, be reduced a view which, according to the writer, be entertained by all persons in fully circles, except those who are "blind worshipers of the British.". "As for economic relations," writes Prof. Totsuke Negase, an historian attached to the army department, "the interests of and England can never coincide.Japan is natural that Japan It which is a. newcomer in China, should not please England. But China' Is the unique place for Japan's development in economic lines and we cannot allow to the trade inter England monopolize ests In China. The economic value of the alliance with Great Britain may be dis-loyal- classes the Japanese race with the ored races and excludes the Japanese from her colonies." The writer concludes that the alliance does not benefit Japan as much as it does England. Japan's Policy.

Repeated attacks on the alliance expressions of with Great Britain and admiration for the success of German arms caused an unpleasant impression of the emamong the British residents that has been voiced pire, an impression in the organs of the British community and summarized, by David Fraser, the London Times' correspondent, in an article in a Tokio newspaper.

Or, lastly, the Russians may have thought to instill fear into the German forces by their depredations and violence.
