THE JAPANESE. WILL THEY SEND TROOPS TO EUROPE. "According to the terms of the An-lo-Japanese Alliance, Britain would e bound to send soldiers for the deIcnce of Japan should she be seriousy threatened, and no argument en :he score of sentimentality or econ3my W ould cause her to hesitate if lecessity demanded aid," writes Dr J. Ingram Bryan, from Tokyo, to the Sydney Morning Herald, "Even for the little war in Tsing;ao, Britain sent her quota of troops to participate. We do not say j that Japan is hesitating to send troops to Europe; but we say that the otlrcr Allies should not hesitate to accept her offer of such assistance. If half a million or more of Japan's veterans were now thrown into the fighting front, an achievement that could be accomplished in two or three months, the result could only be stimulating to the Allies as well as the reverse to the enemy. "One cannot believe that tfcts is-a time when Japan could afford to be guided by selfish pessimism, or that they represent. Japan who keep on asking what she is to get out of the war, should she send troops to Eur- J ope. Every nation participating in this war for freedom will get its clue. In any case, the best friend is not he who asks how much he can gel, but how much he can give. If the Samurai portion of Japan be consulted there is but one answer the Allies would receive were they to suggest her appearance among the military forces in Europe. Already the Imperial Navy of Japan has done well both on the Pacific and in the Mediterranean, and now Japan is undertaking the policing of the Pacific while American ships concentrate on the Atlantic. Let us be bold enough to say that it is only want of tactics on the part of someone that is depriving the Allied cause of Japan's magnificent hero army, whose force could not fail to hasten the day of victory."

£20,000,000 IN PROPAGANDA. Since the commencement of the war Germany, to further her criminal propaganda, has spent £20,000,000, She imagined that by lavishly scattering this enormous amount of money she would be able to control tne world's sentiments. Her psychological failure may be measured by the number of nations that have broken off relations or entered into active hostilities against iter, says a writer in the Pall Mall Gazette. BUILT BY GREAT NAPOELON. Reuter's special correspondent thus describes the Tagliamento:—The Tagliamento runs for about 120 miles, traversing the whole of Friuli Plain. During the dry season, despite its twenty tributaries, water is almost non-existent, in the bed of the river, but now an impetuous current rushes foaming along. In our retreat we crossed it between Codroipo and Pordenone on the same wooden DfTug-5, nearly a mile long, which was built by Napoleon over a hundred years ago, when this region was the scSife of the bloodiest battle between the French and the Austrians.
