1 There is no Yellow Peril." [Bl BiSOH K. SuVZBiTSU.] I am absolutely convinced that the day will loon oorae when every sensible person will see that the hue and cry raised by the supposed "yellow (icril " has been entirely unjustified. " A jellow peril "in the shape of of the Occident uv the united people of Asia muse of the state of civiliz the national characteristics of the Chinese, and the disappearance of the old warlike ipirit among the Mongolian and Tartar races, ..J !„.. _I -11 1 .__ T u think of taking part in any such invasion. dan when it was possible for a leader of hall civilized hordes to carry them across continents to attack other nations. The whole fear of a yellow peril is unreasonable. China baa always been and always will be a peaoe-loring nation, and Japan will do her utmost to keep up with the civilization of the West, and her efforts in that direction will bring har more and mors into harmony with the European powers. It is possible that we may help China to reorganise her army, but this is only for •ell-defense and for the purpose of maintainI lng order in the country Itself. China will She knows that she needs no extension of her territory, that she would not know what aggressive foreign policy she would only lo I some of what she now holds. y even advise her as to how to organize a school system or other public institutions, but the Japanese know the peculiarities of theOhinese too well not to know when the time hs« «nm« tn stop. For these reasons it is evident that all talk of a " yellow peril "in a military sense of the word is idle and foolish, but the some kind ol" yellow peril " ask i you guarantee that the commerce of Jap« will not develop and in time destroy ours? " This, of course, I cannot, but I sincerely wish that there was a possibility, but, alas, many centuries will pass before Jap;in shall be able to compete in any way with Rnmrn ttnA kmerina. i true that our co apidly during the and we hope that it will continue to do so, but the progress will not continue with the ipidity as the years puss by, and xvh.it are, after all, the economic resources of Japan compared to those of the countries of the West ? But even should Japan in time lo come be able to compete with the Occive itself? itions of the Christian i tion, when tliey cc nous, peaceable and orde ill nation to reach the ba: >d evil ? ng for everybody, llif should guide nations e- ™ ! - We Orientals cannot i international politics. More than It centuriee ago we had in Japan a s which advocated the same principles as Macchiavelli in politics, but it could not thrive in Japan, and soon died out. We believe that the same moral principles musi guide nations and individuals. I know that many consider this foolish, but if it is we are content to be fools. Ido believe that commercial intercourse between the Far East and the West will develop very rapidly after the end of the present war. The West begins to understand the East better and vice versa, and this will lead to closer and more intimate relations. There are other people who fear that differences arising from racial peculiarities may lead us into conflict. Of this I have not the slightest fear. The Oriental people have very little race pride or race prejudice. and this is especially true of the Jupunese. Of coarse, we despise arrogance and are sensitive to injustice, but as long as our pride and sense of just ce are not hurt we have none but friendly feelings for other nations, and we know the respect we owe the Western people. It is said to-day that Japan has become a great nation, but if this is so we nre w.l aware of the increased responsibility t: i places upon us, and we will do all witliii our power to maintain friendly relatim - _!.!. f J. ._--:„ lan| j jjj (o)|ow (1| civilization.

A BOOM TO DAIRYMEN A bail Las been patented by a Taraoaki firm, which is far in advance of any other contrivance for securing cows while being milked. It is operated from the back of the cow, and she can be bailed up or released with the greatest ease by even the smallest milker. Dairymen will find these bails are not only groat time-savers, but are reliable, easy to hi, and never get out of repair; in fact, can be filed with little alteration in any shed in which old bails are at present in use. The articles supplied are: —2 screw pulleys 14ft of c< rd and ring, 1 iron bail: and the cost i> only a few shillings. Messrs Robertsou and Bond, of Liardet-street. Nen Pljmouth, are the patento" and rendors. An illustrated leaflet, and all estimates or particulars, will be provided to enquirers free. The following letter just received speaks volumes : —Messrs. Bobertton and Bond, New Plymouth. Dear Bir«,—l have pleasure in stating that the new cow bails you supplied are giving every satisfaction. They are easy to fix, and effect * great saving of time. I firmly believc if tbey were used continually for twelve months they would more than save their first cost. I caa confidently recommmd them to all dairymen. Wishing you every success, I am, faithfully yours,—Bobmt Climow, Omata Taranaki
