THE SOIL OF JAPEN NEVER
HELD BY C0NQUEROR

It should be remembered that Japan
has never been conquered. 1t should
also be remembered that foot Of her
soil has never been held by an enemy
for an appreciate time. IT should also
be remembered that the very hordes
that Genghis Khan and his predecessors
and successors led in triumph against
Russia and central Europe. and which
overthrow Persia and India, Afghan
istan, Russia and Hungary, We're
easily beaten by the Japanese. 1t has
been said that the japanese have never
fought serious war with q white ma
ton, and are an unknown quantity. IL
may be said with equal truth that Rus
sia has never faced the. Japanese
in a conflict with the japanese are an
unknown quantity. But there is abund-
ant material for estimating the strength
on sea and land OF these two peoples.
The Japanese in their conflict with
China in 1894 proved themselves superior
TO the Chinese in a greater degree than
the Russians or any European SOldiery
have ever proved themselves superior 70
the Chinese. Again, in the international
on Picking. the Japanese soldiers
marched and fought side by side with
the picked soldiery of Europe and
America In that experience they
showed themselves superior to the
American and European troops In every
respect; and almost every Western COM
mander engaged in the expeditions
that they were at least the equals, If not
the superiors Of all other soldiers en-
gagged in the eXpeditiOu--GuntOn Mag

to a draw before the Washington Sport

of the most intei csting ever seen in
this city. 1t was fierce struggle from
start to finish. First Hart Eould gain
the advantage by staggering his oppo-

ski TO come back strong. Several times
Hart had the Californian in a bad way.
but did not have the steam TO finish
his man.
Choynsld fought with his old-time
snap. and when it looked as though he
had had enough he surprised his fol-
lowers by coming back and fighting
Hart to a standstill.
Tie first round was a pretty even af-
fair. Hart was the aggressor in the sec

Choynski The third round furnished
some sensational fighting. Both werS
staggering at the same time. Choynskl
landed seven rights and let's on Harris

floor. He was I'D at the count of nine
and. although groggy, fought back
gamely. So tired were the fighters that
they paid little attention to their guard,
but swung wildly for the jaw and stom>

Hart lacked strength to put him out.
ChOynsld was the aggressor in the
fifth. He uppercut Hart but in return
received three rights on the Jaw, which
caused him TO reel He came back in
time TO catch Hart a left swing that

Californian retaliated with four rights
