The war between japan and
China, which has been threatened
for the last month, has become j
fact at last. 1t seems 10 have been
precipitated By a weIl-founded con-
viction on the part Of the Japanese
that their opponents were simply
delaying a declaration Of war in
order to strengthen themselves by
obtaining fresh supplies of war
material from abroad. The Jap
anese therefore began hostilities
and notified the powers of the ex-
istence of a state Of war, thus
effectually checking the further
equipment Of Chinese troops with
foreign weapons.
1t is difficult for outsiders to
estimate with any approach to
accuracy the relative strength Of
The two eombatants. The bold
fact stands out that the population
of China is nine or ten times as
large as that Of Japan, and that
the nominal numerical strength OF
her standing army Is many times
greater, while the naval power Of
the two nations IS about equal.
Little, however, can be inferred
from the Chinese superiority Of
numbers. From the time of Alex
ander the Great TO the nineteenth
century warfare with Africans and
Indians, history is crowded with
examples of the indefinite superb
GRITTY of the better trained and bet
ter armed soldier. Japan has made
far more rapid progress than China,
not merely in assimilating the
higher civilization Of the West,
but in appropriating It's superior
its tools, machinery and
weapons. The japanese army Is
armed and disciplined
on the European model, while that
