man who in recent times has crowned

These We're a certain De Tounens, a

That monarch, Achille I, had too much
sense to attempt to regain his kingdom,

tive faculty of the people came into
play, and in a short time native shops
were constructing machinery on the
exact pattern that had been observed
abroad.
This development was especially in
evidence in the navy and army. In
deed, there can be little doubt that the
dream of becoming a great military
power was the actuating motive in the
undermining of Japan. The soldier

THE PoPE's SLEEPING CAR.

The pope owns sleeping car 1t was
constructed in 1868 when the line from
Rome to Naples was opened and will

The car consists of three compart-

for the guard of honor and a bedroom
The throne room is richly furnished
and has a cupola engraved with the
papaI arms and the twelve apostles It
is SO arranged that the pope when
seated on his throne can be plainly seen
by the crowds who might be expected
to throng the stations for his blessing.
As a matter of fact. the crowds do

priest in the kingdom of Italy.

ed to visit the country and assist in
training an army. These experts, with
the returned students who had gradu-
ated from foreign institutions started
military academies throughout the
kingdom, so that Japan shortly became
one vast training school. A public
school system also sprang into being,
in which patriotism was taught and in
cidentally tactics. The early model for
the army was French, as that of the
navy was American and English. Lat
er the German military system was in
troduced as being more effective than
that of France. In their selection of
models the Japs have shown wonderful
discrimination. They examined the ar
mics and navies of all countries, then
chose what seemed to them the best of
each.

to share in their progress. To achieve
that end she saw it was necessary to

the west. Turning herself from the
traditions she loved, the little kingdom
became the Land of the Rising Sun in

broadside central battery and was 220
feet long. Three small ironclads, the
Kongo, Hiyei and Rinjo, of 1900 tons
lowing. These constituted the Japa-
nese navy in 1880.
In the succeeding decade only two
more fronclads were added to the list
but a considerable squadron of fast
cruisers We're built on Japar's order in
various foreign countries. With the
addition of two more very speedy cruis-
ers in the next four years, these made
up Japan's naval strength at the be-
ginning of her war with China in 1894.
This remarkable naval evolution was
not confined alone to ships. The far
sighted statesmen like Ito saw that
boats were useless unless manned by
crews that understood them. It takes
longer to train officers and men than
it does to build vessels, so at the very
earliest stages of the evolution provi-
sion was made for such training.
America, England and other countries
were asked to allow japanese officers
to serve aboard their ships and also
that Yankee and British officers be
permitted to serve on japanese ships.
These requests were readily granted,
val experts that were sent to train the
officers and jacI1ies of Japan is due

ton in later days. OF even greater i'm
portance was the opening of the Naval
academy at Annapolis to a certain
number of Japanese students. Here

on both land and sea, but she had done
it in a manner that reflected glory Upon
her arms. Her ambition to be the lead
er of the orient was given a fresh spur;
she gained the confidence that comes
from accomplishment; the praise she
received from other nations fortified
her belief in herself. The deeds of her
oism of her soldiers at Pingyang, at
Wiju at the YaIu River and at Port
Arthur were very dear to this soldier
loving country. The recital of these
exploits would still further fan the
flame of military ardor, and with this
as a basis she would go forward to
other victories. She would show her
self worthy of the praise she was re-
ceiving.
The world has failed in one regard to
do justice to the soldiers of the mikado

in this victory over China. The lack of
proper appreciation came through an
undertaking of the Chinese. Later
events revealed the fact that the Celes-
tials are not such mean fighters after
all, and that the manner in which they
had been overcome by their neighbors
from the island kingdom was not due
so much to Chinese inferiority as to
Japanese superiority.
Russia's grab of the Liautong pen
insula and Manchuria furnished a di-
rection for the newly awakened mill
tary enthusiasm of Japan. Here began
the second stage of the evolution. Eff
forts toward creating a great army and
navy We're redoubled. The ships taken
from the Chinese were repaired, re-
modelled and set af1oat. New and lar
ger ships were bought. The army was
increased and more rigidly drilled than
before. So rapidly and thoroughly was
this process carried forward that at the
time of the Boxer outbreak in 1900 the
military establishment of the island
empire had almost doubled.
The conduct of the japanese troops
on the march to Picking and in the
subsequent fighting about the Chinese
capital was such as to still further
awaken the admiration of the world
Prior to that time the little men had
measured themselves only with the sol
diers of China. Now they marched

army. can do its most effective work.
The first period of Japan's military
evolution extended from the beginning
of the Satsuma rebellion in 1868 to the
opening of the Chino-Japanese war in
1884. This struggle served not only to
open the eyes of the world to the fact
that new military power had entered
the field, but came like revelation to
tine Japs themselves. The adoption OF
western methods had not been in vain.
The careful and scientific drill of the
men in both the army and navy. the
craftsmanship practice Of the gunners
in the artillery and on the ships, the
years of study given to every military
system on earth. the schooling fnpart-
ed to japanese officers and men by army
experts from Europe and America-aIl
these things had borne fruit. The is

Japan. The shrewd statesmen of the
island empire saw that by the intro
duetion of western weapons and meth
DDS of fighting the Jap could easily
become the lord of the far east. Once
having that end in view, the energies
of the country were bent to its accom-
plishment- The first step was to build
up an army and navy equal to the task.
Because of the fact that Japan, like
Great Britain. lies upon chain of is
lands, it had been from the earliest
ages a seagoing nation. Many of the
fights between the petty lords had tax
en- place on the straits, inlets and bays
about the sharply indented coast. One
of the great victories in the ancient
times was the almost complete destruc-
ton of an immense army of Chinese
that had sailed across in their junks to
invade one of the Jap islands. The Ce-
lestials never reached shore.
The first glimpse of the western
world that had come to fire the Japa-
nese imagination was the sight of a

A very complete plan of fortifications
was adopted. The work along this line
has not been entirely finished, but all
the more important points are well
protected, especially against attack
from sea- The indented shore line and
precipftous coasts lend themselves
like England, Greece and other island
nations. Japan is almost proof against
invasion. Tokyo Yokohama, Nagasali
and other important cities are already
well fortified.
1t was in 1875 that compulsory mill
tary service in the army and navy was
adopted. Since that time every male
subject of the nikado between the ages
of seventeen and forty is liable to active
duty. The army is made up of four di-
visions, and the conscript is slated for
a term of service in each-three years
in the active army. four years in the
reserves, five years in the landwehr and
eight years in the landstrum. In times
of peace, however, only a small num-
Der of those eligible are admitted to
the active army, choice being made by
lot. In the beginning the main stress
was laid on the artillery and infantry
arms of the service. The cavalry,
which is Russia's strongest point, is
