Keat's line, ‘Cor- tez—silent upon a peak in Darien’) may stick in your mind and help | along the confusion between Dairen| und Darien. “But after all you probably know | by another name. It has ag many allases as an enterprising cracksmen. To the Chinese it is Ta- lien-wan; the Russians, who thought in 1509 that they had estabiished there their long-sought ice-free Pa- cific port, called it Dalny; one western interpretation of its Japanese name 18 Tairen; but more properly it now gets into date lines and head lines Dairen. Incidentally the name means ‘great connections,” and it is truly a connecting link between the China that was and Japan that is. 1ce-Free Door to Tremendous Wealth “Ruseia, great power of the west, left Dalny at the end of the Russo- Japanese war, an unhealthy, over- grown village with streets of mud. | Japan, young eastern giant but apt] pupil of a more western west than | 1ussia, gave the newly christened town paved streets, twentieth century sanitation, forest-clad hills, electric lights and street cars and an efficient municipal government. “Politically, Dairen is the seat of administration of Japan's 99-year lease over the Kwang-tung or Liao- tung peninsula, which forms the southern extremity of Manchuria, just west of Korea. Geographically and cconomically it is the ice-free door to all the potential wealth of Manchuria, eastern Mongolia, and most of Siberia, It would be difficult to conceive of a port in a relatively undeveloped re- gion of the world more stragetically situated. “Japan's tangible interests do not stop at the line of the 1220 square miles of her lease surrounding Dai- ren. She also has a 99-year conces- sion for the South Manchurian rail-| way which extends several hundred miles to the north through the center of Manchuria’s almost matchlessly fertile plains. ‘Railway’ must be tak- | en in something of a Pickwickian sense, In breadth of activities this railway company has something in common with the British South Afri-| ca company. In addition to its road,! it operates a line of ocean steamers and great warehouses, develops pow- er, runs mines, and manages lands. Back-Home Railroad Facilities “The American who has put up with the inconvenience of unfamiliar and, to his mind, inefficient railroad equip- ment in Asia, will experience a feel- ing of rellef when he travels in Man- | churia. The Daiten passenger ter-| minal furnishes a familiar Jlay-out even to entrances and exits under the tracks. If he is bound for Mukden the traveler can make the trip on an | all-Pullman train with dining cars drawn by a powerful American loco- | motive, If he chooses a non-Pullman | train, the day-coaches will be of the) long, familiar, back-home variety. | The road bed is close in engineering| perfection to the best in America and | the rails, of one of the heaviest weights that is rolled. | “Dairen has other contacts with| Shantung than being in part the lega- | tee of its Japanese business. H.fl’ wharves and the bean fields back of them are a major sphere of activity' for the surplus laborers of over- crowded Shantung. Every season be- tween 50,000 and 100,000 Shantung coolies swarm over to the Liaotung peninsula to work there until winter| slows up out-door activities.” { Mulcahy Reported About To Resign His Command; London, Jan. 11.—Richard Mul- cahy, minister of defense of the Free| State, will soon rellquish command of the Irish national army according to| a Dublin dispatch to the Daily News. | The correspondent asserts that Mul- cahy will be succeeded as chief of | staff by Gen.
