beian, must now serve his term lin the
army Nor are the officers an exclu-
sive caste, for promotion is open to
every man who will take the trouble
to earn it. But it happens in the Ja-.
panese army, as it happens in the
English and the German-while every
private soldier is free to become an
officer, the great bulk of the officers
do, as a matter Of fact, come from a
restricted section. In England it is
the upper and upper middle class; in
Japan 1t is the samurai-samu still,
whatever the edicts and the constitu-
tions may say.
And, in the very fiber of their being,
tho traditions of Bushido remain.
Those who are not less than 35 years
old were taught it at their mothers
knee, and many of the younger men,
coming of the same warrior stock, are
imbued with the principles of the
code.
Will these principles count for any
thing in battle, should the trouble
with Russia end in war? Native en-
thusiasts think they will. DR.. Nitobe,
who hasswritten a wonderful little ex-

do, the Soul of Japan'), protests
against the assertion that Japan beat
the Chinese by means Of Murata guns
and Krupp cannon. NO! What won

at it, always anxious to learn. The
only thing about them was that when
they thought you weren't looking they
would pick up things you had not
shown them and try to find out the
secret"
If those japanese officers had
known it, they would have gone to
the ends Of the earth to remove SO
dubious an impression, for in the ira
ditions of the Japanese fighting class,
honor is more than life. "Bushido,"
their code of honor, was the religion
Of the Samurai. Literally translated,
the word "samurai'' means military
knightways, the path the fighting man
must tread in his daily life as well as
in his vocation.
ALI this came nominally to an end
with the downfall of the feudal sys-
tenn in 1870. The samurai-the
knightly class between the mobiles and
the plebeians-ceased ito exist as an
exclusive caste after the edict prohib-
iting the wearing of swords. They be-
gan to intermarry with the plebeians
and to engage in trade. Bushido was
no longer the only rule of life, pro-
viding for all its shifting changes.

Altho Bushido, with its fortitude
and it's punctilio, it's odd mixture of
the Spartan and the Quixotic, is no
longer a recognized system, its spirit

SWELL FUND
FOR A NAVAL
CLUBHOUSE
BY Sally Sharp.

The Red Cross tea at Mrs. Lowen-
famous success-but wasn't that proph-
esied by cen the least of US? When
those Red Cross women get busy and
join hands, with such leaders as Mrs.
Frederick Sanborn, Mrs. Bowman Nc
Gala, Mrs. Arthur Cornwall-they who
are lying awake nights planning for
that naval clubhouse-what else would
be expected?
San Francisco is nothing II not phil
anthropic, and, what is more, it's not
philanthropic in spots, for note the
steady work of the women who have
planned this project for the care OF the
bonnie naval cadets. It's that steady
tapping, tapping, tapping Of our good
women that has lifted the burdens OF
the heaVy-laden.
AT the tea yesterday what beyy OF
trim society maids tripped about dis
pensing nectar!-for is not tea OF
oolong brand sweet nectar when served
by such lovely maids?
The programme was worthy one-a
notably worthy one. Herewith are the
numbers: Mrs. Brown, piano solo; Miss
Gertrude Wheeler, vocal solo; Miss Ell
sic Sherman, violin solo; Mrs. Louise
Humphrey Smith, recitation; Miss dc
Young, harp selection; Madame Semi
mario, vocal solos.
Then came the clever little get-rich-
quick manipula tions for the enriching
of that yawning clubhouse treasury
and behold the result. The cups and
saucers, every one, were disposed OF,
and advantageously, too. The picture
donated by Mrs. Wesley was won by
one than whom none was more deserv-
ing-Mrs. McCalla, the protector and
enGineer-in-ch of the whole affair.
But with her customary generosity the
picture will be donated to the club
house on its completion. Let it here be
said that already Mrs. McCalla has
contributed $4,000 toward the fund.
With the success that attended the
affair of yesterday, who can doubt the
success of the project? And here's to it.
The engagement is announced OF
