The presence of a Japanese army on the borders of Southern Germany would present two great advantages from the British point of view. It would avert the necessity of compulsory service and lead to the evacuation or destruction of the Zeppelin station at Friedrichshafen, which is directed chiefly against England. One would think that the first of these "advantages" would be sufficient to condemn M. Chéradame's scheme in the eyes of all but mere materialists, It would cause the rest of the world to infer, with good reason, that England's own sons were too cowardly or sluggish to defend her and preferred to buy the Japanese army.
