BEHIND THE VEIL, WHAT? If we could lift the veil of today showing us "die world tomorrow we would probably be more than astonished At the things that would meet our gaze. The shifting panorama of war is changing the map of the world; ot that there is no question. The air is so pregnant with ?o many amazing possibilities that there i no wild prophet capable of clairvoyance. Every new dawn brings forth a maze of occurrences to perplex and astonish those who keep finger on the world's feverish pulse. What the Russian debacle la to mean to the coming generation not even those in the seats of the mighty can be presumed to predict. Russia Is today the tool of Germany and the backwash of the world. The kaiser finds himself master' of the wild wastes recking with still wilder hordes. Japan the inscrutable oriental who defeated Russia within our ken looks to the west and sees the Teuton eagles draw nearer the ports he has long coveted. He may have taken counsel with his other ostensible oriental airy, but really his vassal, the Chinaman and that counsel may hatch woe for the invadinz Huns, and it may be preparing a path for them. Who knows? This much we do know. The secret chancelleries of the world are vastly concerned with events in the far

ground. The abyss yawns for the defeated. They know the wily Jap is not asleep. For three years Japan has been preparing for eventualities. There is no unpreparedness in .Ispart. The war has made the mikado's realm wealthy beyond the dream of avarice. Japan is cocksure of herself. She has been waiting to receive all possible advantage for herself. It is Japan's chance, her golden opportunity. We may rest assured there is no angle of the future that her diplomats have not considered and discussed with the most painstaking and scrupulous care. Of all the countries in the world outside of America today Japan is probably surest of her standing. It is on a rock and not shifting sand.

Has Japan any special love for the Allies? If the Jap wis convinced that his future lay with the German do you think he would hesitate? IT the kaiser save him free hand in Siberia, in China, what might happen? There Is no question but what th.? Jap is getting ready to throw his armies into th struggle, but from what vantace point is only speculation. He may stem Cue tide for the Allies, t.j increase his prestigo.
