"Passports may be obtained for men and their families for travel to the Orient (except Siberia) for health and recreation" -so reads the bulletin issued by the United States Passport Bureau. For the first time, then, since the war one may visit Japan, China, and the Philippines for pleasure. The lifting of the ban against travel to the Orient comes at a specially fitting time, especially for tours to Japan, and every American who can take the trip should, for the attention of the Japanese at present is centered on the United States. Nothing would tend to create a better feeling between the two countries than for citizens of the United States to visit Japan. Besides, there is an educational value in such a trip just now which is very important. During the past year large num bers of prominent Japanese have come to the United States, mainly for the purpose of studying us. They come here to see how we live, how we act, and to get, if possible, our view-point. On the other hand, Americans who have visited Japan are in the smallest minority. The trip to Japan is not so serious nor so great an undertaking as most persons believe. Allowing sixty days from the Atlantic coast, one can make a very fair and comprehensive tour which will include all the points of interest. Of course a more extended trip is desirable, as is the case with any tour, but two months' time is ample to see all of Japan proper. In planning this trip the most essential thing is to decide just when to go. The end of March or the first of April and the end of September or the first part of October are the best times to leave the Pacific coast. Both the winter and the summer months in Japan are very trying to one who visits this country for the first time. The winter is extremely cold and it often snows very heavily. The Japanese homes, teahouses, theaters, temples, and museums are not heated, and it is hard for the foreigner to become accustomed to the chilled rooms. Besides there is the grave danger of catching cold in these places. The roads are also very bad in winter and it is difficult to get about. On the other hand, summer weather in Japan is almost unbearably hot. One can get relief, to be sure, in mountain resorts like Karuizawa and Miyanoshita, but it is almost impossible to visit cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, or Osaka in the summer-time with any degree of comfort. Added to this the summer usually brings most unpleasant typhoons, and the mosquitoes are especially annoying. June in Japan means the nyubai, or rainy season, and naturally one would not want a trip marred by an entire month of rain. One's whole impression of the country may be spoiled by visiting it in the wrong season. The question of route is the next important thing to consider. For those who liave never visited Japan my suggestion is to choose the southern route for the outbound trip and the northern route for the return journey. The southern route starts at San Francisco and allows for a stop of about a day at Honolulu. It is a most enjoyable experience. This is the longest route and takes several days more than the northern, but the weather is usually very fine, and one is well repaid for going that way. In returning by way of the north (landing either at Vancouver or Seattle) several days can be saved, thus allowing a longer stay in Japan. The southern route aver ages about eighteen days, and the northern The third important consideration is the In order to see the most of Japan in a short time map out in advance some sort of plan of sightseeing. The following places, to be visited in the order in which they are given, include every important point of interest to the traveler: Yokohama, Kamakura, Tokyo, Nikko, Lake Chuzenji, Miyanoshita, Nagoya, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe, and Miyajima. The length of time to be spent in each will depend upon the time at one's disposal. Roughly, the minimum time to allow for each should be something as follows: Yokohama, two days; Kamakura, one day; Tokyo, two days; Nikko, two days; Lake Chuzenji, one day; Miyanoshita, three days; Nagoya, one day; Kyoto, one week; Nara, two days; Osaka, one day; Kobe, one day; and two days at Miyajima. From Miyajima the return trip can be made to Kobe for embarkation to the United States, or one can go directly to Yokohama and board the ship there. All hotels in Japan are conducted on the American plan. Rates range from ten yen ($5) a day up. Japanese inns charge about the same rates as the hotels. The hotels are conducted in foreign style, with foreign beds and foreign meals. The inns are purely Japanese, serving Japanese meals and the guests sleep on the floor. While in cities like Yokohama, Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto there are a limited number of motor cars and taxis for hire, the general mode of conveyance is by jinrikisha (or kuruma, as it is really called in Japan). There are standard kuruma rates, which can be obtained from the hotel clerk. It is always best to know before you start on a trip the exact fare. This often avoids unpleasant encounters with the kuruma-ya (the man who pulls the rikisha). Also it is well to have addresses written in Japanese before starting for any particular point. The hotel clerks are most obliging in this detail and will gladly write 30 July the addresses. This saves much time and annoyance in locating a destination. There is really no difficulty about the language in Japan, for almost every storekeeper and kuruma-ya can speak a little English and English-speaking guides can always be secured. A very helpful aid is the Japan Tourist Bureau. A branch of the Tourist Bureau can be found in almost every railway station, and its headquarters are in Tokyo. The Japan Tourist Bureau is a part of the Imperial Government Railways System, and it issues dozens of very useful pamphlets and maps of all points of interest in free of charge. the Empire, all of which can be obtained For shopping the tourist will probably find Yokohama most adapted to his needs. The products from every corner of the Empire can be found here in hundreds of attractive shops. The currency of Japan is not unlike that of the United States. There are copper one and two sen pieces, nickel five sen pieces, and silver ten, twenty, and fifty sen pieces. Paper currency is also issued in denominations of ten, twenty, and fifty sen, and one, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred yen notes. The value of the sen is about half a cent (gold) and the yen about fifty cents. Finally, it is well to remember that the word "hurry" has no place in the Japanese vocabulary, and the tourist who understands this perfectly is assured a happy trip. HOMELY ECONOMICS Mr. Theodore H. Price writes to us that his "article upon 'Some Homely Econom ics' seems to have struck a responsive note" and that he is "getting many letters about it." He sends one of these let ters, which we print herewith. The writer of this letter, an Outlook subscriber in Kentucky, indorses Mr. Price's warning against the dangers of extravagance. Some readers, we think, who recognize these dangers will see a distinction between indulgence in ten-dollar silk shirts and the use of automobiles. What some regard as luxuries others call necessities. In the list of necessities Mr. Price himself included tobacco. Not everybody would place it there, though a good many men would if they were as frank as Mr. Price. The fact is that thrift does not necessarily mean stopping progress in the standard of living -as indicated by graduation from buggies to automobiles- or even the deprivation of the pleasant things of life, but the denial of those things whose cost is incommen surate with their value to the user. The French, who are proverbially skilled in making and enjoying some of the best things of life, from food to the fine arts, are also proverbially thrifty. The letter which Mr. Price sends us follows.-THE EDITORS. I have read and re-read your article. "Some Homely Economics," in The Outlook of July 9. of It is an excellent and timely warning a real and impending danger. Were I to find any fault with it, it would be to say that you treat the subject in too light a vein. The tendency to useless extravagance is an immensely serious matter. Living as I do in a small inland town, with a popula tion,"counting the whites," of something less than 20,000, and with little personal knowledge of the habits of other communities, I am, judging the balance of our country by what I daily see, impressed with the belief that we are the most lavishly, wildly, foolishly extravagant people on the face of the earth, spending what we earn, not in betterments, but in unnecessary things that perish in the using. Our community, especially our farm people, are prosperous and patriotic. We have put nearly three million dollars in Liberty Bonds. Our bank deposits are nearly twice what they were in 1913, and yet I am sorry to say that little seems to be going into farm improvements, better houses, better fences, barns, tilling of lands, good roads, or better schoolhouses. It is going, I say, into things that perish in the using. A few instances for illustration : A retail merchant of our town recently told me that he had ordered a half-dozen pairs of ladies' fancy dress shoes which he could not sell for less than $12 a pair; he was afraid to order more. But these half dozen pairs were quickly snapped up. A farmer came into his store. He had just been paid for his crop of tobacco. Out of the proceeds he paid for six fancy silk shirts at $10 each-$60. These would seem to me to be the acts of light-headed, foolish people were it not for the fact that I see around me every day, almost hourly, just as incredible evidences of foolish waste. may The disease manifests itself here, and I judge all over the country, in the automobile craze. There are now very many more automobiles in this county than there were buggies a few years ago; many of themmost of them, in fact- -are owned by people who really cannot afford such a luxury, and, say what you will about the useful purposes to which automobiles be put, they are ninety-nine per cent mere luxuries. An automobile for the average family is an expensive vehicle; its life is short, and its upkeep very considerable. But on a Saturday, in addition to those owned by the town folk, you can see hundreds-yes, hundreds of them driven in by farmers whose lands need draining, tilling, and other improvements. The automobile, to my mind, is a greater economic problem than the tariff; it is next to the League of Nations in importance. I hope you will keep up the discussion. Surely our people can be educated, if only slowly, to a little common prudence. Don't call it "Homely Economics." It is a matter of vast, vital, far-reaching importance. Although I am now nearly eighty years old, I am almost afraid that I shall live to see the evil consequences of our wasteful habits It will be hard to live through the time of depression that is sure to come. MALCOLM YEAMAN. Henderson, Kentucky.. SOCIALISTS AND CAPITALISTS Every so often-but not so very oftenthe "conservative," by which we mean also the preservative, press carries an imprint that shows an adult, matured understanding of revolutionary tendencies. It hap pened in your issue of June 4, at the hands of Mr. Price, and it was refreshing. We are in danger of making one costly mistake. We are prone to pass judgment upon a doctrine that has been built around a basic idea, and to accept or reject the whole thing rather than to take up the basic idea alone, to see what it is made of or to estimate what can be done with it. It is possible that such leading lights as Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill were not free from this unphilosophic failing. For instance: Socialism is a principle of social dynamics that implies collective inter ests and socially sympathetic motives. But Socialists have burdened themselves with a programme that calls for a war upon the Capitalist system. But Capitalism is also a principle, inore newly discovered than Socialism, and one that the leaders in capitalistic enterprise have not learned to use to its full potencies. Both they and the Socialists imagine that it is a class function, necessarily in conflict with Socialism. Neither Capitalists nor Socialists appear to realize that these two principles are jointly in historic conflict with another, a principle that was old ten thousand years ago and that is dominant in every hamlet and city on the globe to-day. That is anarchy, a daily, universal experiment that always fails to work, and that has its 65 philosophic" school looking forward to its "adoption " in a vague future of perfected and super-enlightened humanity. Our immediate task is to understand that Socialism and Capitalism as basic ideas represent parallel efforts on the part of a growing social intelligence to overcome the crudities of prehistoric anarchism as it remains with us, and the achievement of order and efficiency in social and business activities. Socialists refuse to admit that big business is doing the world's work to-day better than it was ever done before; Capitalists have not the business sense to see that Socialism means the universal triumph of their big idea; every possible share of stock sold in advance and dividends rolling in as fast as a common interest in getting out the work as fast and as well as it can be done can accomplish the feat. So anarchy continues to breed, plan, and make war, so far as it still rules, within and between the nations. Hollywood, California. A. GEORGE. TOLSTOY, NIETZSCHE, AND JESUS With the signing of peace has fallen the philosophical house and fortune of Friedrich Nietzsche. a Nietzsche says, "Hate!" Yet if we did not hate, we would not strive against evil. Jesus must have hated evil when he drove the changers from the Temple. He also must have believed in the use of force. On that day and on the day he arraigned the scribes and Pharisees he was probably not "Christian gentleman." Yet in his discourses he wandered in the idealized land of the non-resistance of evil. When the stars shine on a summer night, we say, "Henceforth whosoever shall smite me on the right cheek, to him I shall turn the other." But the next day, in the conflict of many interests, when put to it, we fight. And it is well that we do, for evil unresisted is evil triumphant. Tolstoy taught Russia the doctrine of the non-resistance of evil, just as the early Christians taught it to Rome. Tolstoy thought that if you do away with police and courts and most institutions restraining men peace will reign and men will love one another. He thought that the strong would help the weak. This implies, of course, that the weak, as well as the strong, would propagate. Nietzsche also favored the abolition of most government institutions restraining men, not in order that peace might reign, but that hate might reign and that violence might have a free hand. Out of the hate and the violence the strong only would survive. They alone are fit to propagate. Why burden the strong with the weak? The strong should be helped, not the weak. The weak breed only more weak. It is the strong that should carry forward the stream of civilization. Strange antagonists, Tolstoy and Nietzsche! Both starting from freedom, one points to the golden city of love, the other to the bloody city of power. Nietzsche was right in the hope of a humanity always stronger. But his method was wrong. The future of mankind lies, not in war and conflict, but in artificial selection. Surely the state has the right to demand that its citizens shall be well born. Surely it has the right to say to the unfit, "Thou shall not bring forth sons and daughters of degeneracy." All of which, however, need not deny them marriage. Tolstoy's golden city of love is the vision of all dreamers. But Tolstoy's method, like Nietzsche's, was wrong. Given freedom from restraint, men do not love, but devour one another, as in Russia now under the Bolsheviki. Instead of brotherly love, Russia will have nothing but blood and more blood, until the Man on the Horse appears. It is the Terror again, Robespierre proclaiming love by way of the ax. Nietzsche's doctrine has been tried and has failed. The madness of his pages as a guide to nations has contributed to the untimely death of over ten million persons. As Rousseau was the philosophical mouthpiece of the French Revolution, Nietzsche was the dialectic spokesman of Prussianism-the doctrine that murder, arson, pillage, so long as they contribute to Germany's material benefit, would be justifiable in the sight of God, if there were one, and are for the ultimate benefit of the human race. Henceforth Nietzsche will have only historical interest. Sword-rattling as a philosophical system is silent forever. Nietzsche's bust has fallen and is dust. No cement of the intellect can restore it, no worship of brutality ever again can give it human semblance. Had the Germans succeeded, the ethics of Christianity would have perished. But the doctrine of the will to power has been defeated by the doctrine of the will to service. The integrity of the earth has been maintained. Nietzsche has been defeated by Jesus. MAX EHRMANN. Terre Haute, Indiana. BOLSHEVIKI AND I. W. W. I do not agree with Mr. Price when he states in his article in The Outlook of June 4 that Lenine and other leaders of the Bolsheviki and I. W. W. have "simply focused heartaches." It seems to me that they have simply focused backaches. In other words, I believe that the average Bolshevik and I. W. W. hate work, and prefer to live on the savings of others. They do not talk of creating new industries, but always propose to take from the rightful owners the control of business which is already organized. In their ignorance, they do not realize that any business depends for its success on the brains of the managers, and not on the muscles of the workman. There always have been, and always will be, loafers and thieves, regardless of hours and wages. Many of the Bolsheviki and I. W. W. are uninitigated rascals, and the world would be a better place to live in if they were shot. The solution of the Bolshevism and I. W. W. question rests with the police rather than with the sentimentalist. Hartford, Connecticut. Fach week an Outline Study of Current History based on the preceding number of The Outlook will be printed for the benefit of current events classes, debating clubs, teachers of history and of English, and the like, and for use in the home and by such individual readers as may desire suggestions in the serious study of current history.-THE EDITORS. [Those who are using the weekly outline should not attempt to cover the whole of an outline in any one lesson or study. Assign for one lesson selected questions, one or two propositions for discussion, and only such words as are found in the material assigned. Or distribute selected questions among different members of the class or group and have them report their findings to all when assembled. Then have all discuss the questions together.] I-INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS A. Topic: The President Reports to the 1. According to President Wilson, as reported in The Outlook, why did America enter the world war? A critic of President Wilson's interpretation of why America went to war says that "nowhere in the declaration of war made by Congress in April, 1917, is there a remote suggestion of the ideal set forth by Mr. Wilson." Read the war declaration by our Congress. Read all of what President Wilson says on this point. Why did America enter the war? Discuss. 2. President Wilson speaks of the new order of ideas and of the old order of ideas. Make several comparisons of these two sets of ideas. 3. In The Outlook's "Poll of the Press" a number of editors make considerable sport of President Wilson's continual reference to the "ideals" and the "vision" for which the war was fought. Have visions and ideals played a considerable part in American history and in the history of other leading nations? Are nationality, manifest destiny, religion, democracy, and patriotism essentially ideals? Be specific, illustrate, and discuss at length (see bibliography below). 4. Discuss whether President Wilson made "too great concessions to the alleged imperialistic designs of our own allies." 5. Discuss also "whether the liberty of the United States to determine its own foreign policy has been sufficiently safeguarded" in the Treaty. 6. Tell what you think of this comment by the Des Moines "Capital:" "The thing to do is to adopt the Covenant, Treaty and all, and fight the other difficulties out afterwards." 7. Name and discuss several lessons Americans should learn from the study of this topic. 8. The following books deal with these questions: "The Power of Ideals in American History," by E. D. Adams (Yale University Press); "The Spiritual Interpretation of History," by Shailer Mathews (Harvard University Press); "In Our First Year of War," by Woodrow Wilson (Harpers); "American Patriotism in Prose and Verse," by J. M. Gathany (Macmillan). B. Topic: Why the Kaiser Should be 1. Vicente Blasco-Ibáñez hopes that William II will shoot himself. Explain his position. 2. The Outlook hopes that the Kaiser will not shoot himself. Restate its reasons. 3. With which are you inclined to agree? Why? 4. How does Vicente Blasco-Ibáñez characterize William II? Does it seem to you that this picture of the Kaiser is overdrawn? Reasons. 5. On the whole, does history show that "divineright" monarchs are superficial and worthis the public law of nations? less beings? Illustrate liberally. 6. What Discuss its character. 7. Discuss these two statements by Vicente Blasco-Ibáñez: “Life is nothing but a web of absurd realities." "There is no reason to suppose that life is just or logical." Are these expressions satire or sound moral philosophy? Distinguish. II-NATIONAL AFFAIRS Topic: The Irish Question in America. 1. Tell frankly what you think of the reception and conduct of Mr. de Valera in America. 2. Discuss whether, in your opinion, he is hindering more than helping the Irish cause. 3. What do you think is the ultimate object of the agitation of the Irish question in the United States? Is it to get the American Government officially committed in favor of Ireland as against England, and thus cause war between Great Britain and America? Describe the consequences of such a war. 4. Do you agree with The Outlook in saying that American citizens of Irish descent should abstain from violent agitation of political matters in another country? Reasons. 5. Is President Wilson unstatesmanlike in refusing to champion the wishes of the Sinn Feiners? Discuss. 6. Tell with reasons whether the action of the American Senate in voting for a hearing for the Irish cause by the Peace Conference was a piece of reckless party politics. III-PROPOSITIONS FOR DISCUSSION (These propositions are suggested directly or indirectly by the subject-matter of The Outlook, but not discussed in it.) 1. A revolutionist in a modern democracy is a political criminal. 2. History shows that Americans as a race are more sentimental than reasonable. 3. The Irish live in the past-their grievances are historical. IV-VOCABULARY BUILDING BY THE 30 July WAY The British Foreign Minister, the Right Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, lately gave leave to representatives of an Edinburgh museum to dig for antiquities on his estate near the city, promising that all finds should become national property. To their joy they turned up a mass of silver plates and church vessels, perhaps fifteen hundred years old, and a few Roman coins. Many of the pieces bore emblems of early Christianity. They were battered and were probably spoils seized by ancient pirates and intended for the melting-pot. (All of the following words and expressions are found in The Outlook for July 23, 1919. Both before and after looking them up in the dictionary or elsewhere, give their meaning in your own words. The figures in parentheses refer to pages on which the words may be found.) Mountebanks (465); pedantries, gullible persons, simian ability, inexplicable (469); canonized, Protean character, crises (470). Bishop Partridge is a collector of anecdotes about ministers. Here is one of his stories: "I once asked a minister how he had got through a certain service. He answered, grimly: Well, Bishop, the service was soothing, moving, and satisfying.' 'Yes,' I said, a little puzzled. Yes, exactly,' said he. It was soothing, because over half the congregation went to sleep. It was moving, because half of the other half left before I was through. And it must have been satisfying, inasmuch as I wasn't asked to come again.' The eccentricities of filing systems are boundless. One is related by a soldier of an officer who was looking in vain for records of the Sunday morning service. "They are filed under 'H,'" the sergeant in charge of the files told him. " Why under 'H'?" "Because it begins at half-past nine, sir." A Cleveland reader, in response to a query in "By the Way" as to why Bridge port, Ohio is distinguished by having the longest bar in the world, says: "I would suggest that you obtain a map of Ohio, if one can be secured in New York (the State has recently been explored by New Yorkers, at considerable risk of their lives from hostile Indians, and has been mapped sufficiently well for our purpose), and find the town in question. This town is in the southeastern part of the State, on the Ohio River, one of the tributaries of the Mississippi. On the other side of this river, which has its head-waters in New York near Salamanca, is a city called Wheeling, the metropolis of a State called West Virginia. This State has, you may remember, been dry for several years. 'Dry' is an expression which probably has no meaning for New Yorkers, but which is reasonably familiar in Ohio outside of the Indian Reservations. For several years the Indians would ferry the thirsty inhabitants of Wheeling across the Ohio River to this town of Bridgeport, where they could slake their thirst, and since the construction of a bridge across the river the rush of temporary residents to this State has been so great that the bar in question had to be enlarged." It used to be said that sailors sometimes mistook seals for the fabled sirens. Modern science reverses the fable. It is said that a phonograph has been put to a very novel use by seal hunters of the Pacific. It is set up near the rendezvous of the animals, and soon its music attracts their attention and they lift their heads well above the water. By the Way (Continued) A hunter reports that he has been able to shoot large numbers of them while they are under the spell of the sounds so strange to their ears. Says a wise philosopher in the Topeka "Capital:" "It doesn't do any good to hurry unless you have something to do when you get there." Among the experiences in library work for soldiers is the following: "I knew one private soldier who conceived a fervent admiration for Ouida through taking 'Moths' out of the battalion library under the impression that it was a work on entomology, a subject in which he was deeply interested." What is the oldest tune? London "Answers" says that it is the one known to us as going with "For he's a jolly good fellow." It has been said that this tune was brought back from the East by the Crusaders, and that the ancient Egyptians learned it from the Babylonians. This idea, which apparently was first suggested by Chateaubriand, who heard Arabs singing the tune, is mentioned only to be scouted in Grove's "Dictionary of Music and Musicians." Two centuries ago the air was sung by the French to their satirical song "Malbrouk s'en va-t-en guerre," which became immensely popular in its revival at the time of the French Revolution and is said to be the only tune Napoleon could sing. So much has been said in criticism of our air mail system that it is pleasing to read in a Post Office Department bulletin that a record of ninety-nine per cent was made by the Air Mail Service between Washington and New York for the month of June, covering a mileage of 11,118 and carrying 15,643 pounds of mail. On the ClevelandChicago division a perfect score of one hundred per cent was obtained. The young lady, says the San Francisco "Argonaut," had purchased a book in a department store and tendered a ten-dollar note for it. Then she began to read. Finally the change came, but the girl demurred. "I want another book," she said. "But asked for that one," insisted the you clerk. "I know it," she answered, sweetly, "but I've read it while I was waiting for my change." The engineer, says an exchange, had become tired of the boastful talk he heard from the other engine-drivers at his boarding-house. One evening he began: "This morning I went over to see a new machine we've got at our place, and it's astonishing how it works." "And how does it work?" asked one. "Well," was the reply, "by means of a pedal attachment a fulcrumed lever converts a vertical reciprocating motion into a circular movement. The principal part of the machine is a huge disk that revolves in a vertical plane. Power is applied through the axis of the disk, and work is done on the periphery, and the hardest steel by mere impact may be reduced to any shape." "What is this wonderful machine?" was asked. "A grindstone," was the reply. The teacher, relates London "Tit-Bits," was giving the class a natural history lecture on Australia. "There is one animal," she said, "none of you have mentioned. It does not stand up on its legs all the time. It does not walk like other animals, but takes funny little skips. What is it?" And the class yelled with one voice: "Charlie Chaplin.' Here is a letter to the POSTAL from a thankful wife, whose husband did not leave her unprotected : On Saturday I received my check on the life of my husband. Words cannot express what a help that check will be, as I am left with a little boy to bring up. As soon as he can be insured it will be with the Postal Life.
