commercial nation and is forgetting her
ancient honor That is a mistake. She
Is making great effort to develop her for
eign trade. but she is doing II as means
TO and end. In order TO establish herselt
as the England Of the East" she must
have an army and great navy, and
these she cannot have without wealth.
So she is busy with commercial enter
prises
In Japan every able-bodied man is a
soldier. and even the children know the
use OF arms. Military drill is a part OF
the regular education in the schools
throughout the empire School boys dress
in military uniform cut on the pat
tern Of cadet uniforms in Europe ana
America Their instructors are regular
army officers veterans of the war with
China and some of them OF the Sat
suma rebellion of lsT7. This has its effect
on the youthful mind ever prone TO hero
worship, and trebly so in Japan. where
folk build temples to their heroes: Tor
the drill master tells his pupils what he
saw with his own eyes. how he suffered.
how he conquered how fine IL all was:
and the pupils are keen for chance to
do likewise
So II is that to achieve success in war
brings great glory in Japan-almost d.
vinity To serve Dai Nippon. TO die for
the mikado or Tenno. the heavenly en-
peror as they call him. is to join those
spirits whom posterity will worship
through coming ages. Every year the
imperial troops draw UP before the
great shinto temple Shokonsha. at ko-
jmachi in the heart of Tokyo, and pre-
cent arms to "our soldiers who died

mony, dear to the nations heart, and

In China how different all things are!
The literary classes. made up of those
who have passed the civil service exam
nations I'm ethics, philosophy, poetry ana
prose composition, etc, have control.
There are many ministers of foreign AZ
fairs and OF these only one-L Hung
Chang-knew anything of the outside
world before the war with Japan. These
men now think that Japan is more power
full, but they still hate Europeans and
Americans. They have gone so far as
to send 100 young Cinnamon. many or
them the sons, grandsons and nephews OF
viceroys. over to Japan to learn how TO
defend themselves In time OF war; but
there IL not much OF what a European
would call national spirit or ambition. The
average 'Chinaman does not care about
national honor. He admits that some
Chinese had the worst OF II at the hands
of some Japanese in the late war, but he
himself was not there. No one hurt him.
It was more of his business. He would
not die for the emperor IL he could avoid

nese; he is Tatar He is a usurper Why.
his family has reigned less than $50 years.
Were II not for the fact that he takes
his wives and concubines from Manchu
instead of from the Chinese families he
would have been set aside long ago. In

kong. and when the Chinese troops cap
tured some of these coolies they merely
cut OF their queues and sent them back
to the British lines.
So, TO sum up, China herself is help
less. In these days Of universal peace
conference the only really peaceful ma
t'on represented there is compelled by the
other represented nations to break the
pesce. She must learn 10 fight, they tell
her. unless she would disintegrate. Each
country is ready to teach her, provided
she viii refuse to learn from others, or
is ready to take a slice of her territory,
provided II shall be the largest slice. In
this predicament China has turned to her
conqueror. Japan China hates all Euro
peans equally, but she has learned TO
think better Of her little neighbor.
In an alliance with Japan she sees safe
ty. but she is fearful Of all ENHANCEMENT
with Europeans. Japan. though not
greedy for territory, still wishes Europe
TO keep out of the far East. and she
will help China 10 keep them out Her
instructors are busy in China now, and
soon the four hundred Chinese students
studying in Japan viii be home again
Then China will understand that she may
not have a millennium all by herself and
far ahead OF time, but must share with
others. do as others do. or go to pieces
There will not be a corner in millennia
