HI A letter from Japan reports that the
government has appointed a Christian
chaplain for each division Of the army
as 1t goes to the front. shintoism, tho
recognized religion, and Buddhism, nave
each, a chaplain in each ldiyisor, and
Christianity is now recognized on an
equal footing. 1t is also said that the
war minister. though not Christian,
had ruled that unless the correspondent
speaks Japanese well. every correspon-
dent with the Japanese army must have
q Christian interpreter. The reason ho
gives for this ruling is that in the war
with China It was only the Christian in
terpreter who proved reliable and cred.

haps the first vessel of its kind to make
such trip. Captain French is a veteran
navigator, and Is the holder of license
from the United States steamboat authors
ties allowing him to command any size YES
sci and take her to any port in the world.
1t is stated that Captain French will next
