BY BURTON KNISELY (Copyright, 1918, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) * TOKIO, July 10.—Part of the world pictures Japan as the land of cherry blossoms and kimonos, of Geisha girls and antique shrines. But the wise builders of empire vision her as one of the most rapidly advancing industrial and maritime nations of the globe. Jinrikisha Japan is passing. Ship-building, cotton-spinning, _ steel- making Japan is ousting competition from the markets of China and the Orient, and is challenging world trade anywhere in the seven seas and on the shores thereof. Sixty-five years have passed since Com- modore Perry unlocked Japan's gates and prepared her fertile soil for the seed of AMISELY — wostern civilization. But I have seen the living bridge that spans those years and have tried to steep myself in what lies on its Orient side. A few days ago I stood in a little garden in thie transformed country Twentieth Century Japan—and gazed at an old man in the garb of an Aimerican sailor, His beard was white and long. But his form was not much bent. And his eyes were like a hawk’'s. A LIVING LINK BETWEEN HERMIT E AND PRESENT DAY His strong face was silhouetted against the Stars and Stripes. His arms were stretched out wide. His left hand touched the dim red disk in the center of a faded flag. It was the flag of old Japan. His right finger rested on the blood-red circle in new Japan's bright flag of the rising sun And so there Captain Hardy stood, a living link between an almost Darbarous hermit people and one of the world’s leading nations—in war or & ‘A boy of 18, he pulled the starboard bow oar in the barge that landed Perry in Yedo bay on the morning of July 14, 1853. A man of 83, still strong, he has now returned from Japan to the United States to serve his country,in a war in which Nippon and America are allies. . And the first thing I should like to bring home to the readers of The Star as the fruit of the months I am spending in Japan for the purpose of | interpreting their Far-Eastern war ally to my countrymen is this: ‘The change in Japan in the past 65 years has been greater than the change between Perry's stalwart starboard bow oarsman of July, 1853, and the truly venerable Captain, W.
