so Yamagata devoted his mature life
to the coming struggle with China
When the war came the world was
startled at the idea OF little Japan
placed in line OF battle before China,
with her unlimited resources. But one
man at least knew that the Chinese
were at his mercy; that man was va
magata, confident and self reliant. In
1894 Marshal Yamagata had $4,000 men
well trained and disciplined and ready
to assume the offensive, He took the
command, and at the first hostile meet
ing with tho enemy the world was
made wise concerning the ability of
the genius who had so quietly and so
unostentatlously produced such mar

foreseen that this army might well have

Arthur and might well be destined at
