orders japan to give up her foothold in china because forso otti she may disturb that mystical mumble called balance of power this order is backed up by the voices of france and germany the voice ol of france is weak not because she does net act love russia but because she also loves japan and because she obe hates germany more than she loves any country germany Is sacrificing the friendship of japan for reasons strictly political the emperor of germany desires to show good will to his eastern neighbor particularly at the outset of the present azars czars reign for the past ton ten years these relations have been very much strained even to the point of imminent war in 1891 germany is now experimenting with a platonic plat onlo alliance between the czir i z rand and the emperor it
