China's Coming of Age.

China's projected entrance into the war is a political, if not a military, event of far-reaching significance. Coming almost simultaneously with the Russian Revolution, it signalizes a readjustment of political power in the Far East which is almost a new chapter in diplomatic history. Americans should particularly take heart at China's frank and spontaneous association of her foreign policy with our own. She has broken with Germany over exactly the same issue which caused the break with us-the extension of the submarine warfare.
