japan Has Invaded 1t Three Times
in the Past-The odd Monuments
That Testify to These
Conflicts.

History records three invasions of
Corea by Japan, and of all of these no.
table monuments, either in Corea or
Japan, or in both countries, still remain
as lasting memories.
Away back in the ancient history of
the east, when Corea consisted merely
of a number of tribal states, the empress
of Japan, as an ancient Joan of Arc, led
an invading army through the peninsula
on tribute exacting expedition. Glad
in the armor of the times the year was
POP, she rode at the head of a vast army
on a bloodless march, for the unhappy
Coreans, necessarily weak because of
lack of consolidation and tribal differ
ences, were in no condition to oppose
such force. Tributary gates were erect
ed at that time, remains of which are still
standing, and for many years thereafter
the Golfers of Japan were replenished
each year by the tribute paid by Corea.
OF the three invasions of the Land of
the Morning Calm, the most notable was
that of 1892. An army of 300 900 men
at that time landed on Corean soil and
fought many bloody battles with the

FIGHTING STRENGTH
The Military and Naval Resources
of Japan and Russia.
LIKE DAVID AND GOLIATH
Mikado's Forces Should Win Mt the
start, But Russia's Great Power
Will Probably he Success
full in the End.

A mere statistical statement of the
numbers of soldiers or ships which ia
pan and Russia can give no conception of
the military strength of either nation If
it could Japan would be defeated by
mere numbers before war was declared.
Military resources consist of more than
men or ships, it consist of funds with
which to equip armies and navies and
maintain them, 1t consists of food sup
plies, of means of transportation, and of
discipline, enthusiasm and patriotism.
1t is in the later that Japan excells.
The standing army of Russia on a
peace footing numbers about 1 100 900
men. On a war footing this is increased
to 4,600, 900 men, while the total number
Of men Russia could put into the field
numbers close to 100000 This vast
army is we'll equipped with arms, cloth
ing and commissary supplies and fairly
well disciplined. 1t is weak in three es-
sentials. First it is scattered over a
vast territory stretching from the Baltic
sea on the west to the Pacific on the east,
and from the Black sea, Causcasia and
Manchuria on the south to the Arctic

JAPAN'S COMMERCE.
Figures That Show Her Growing
Commercial Interests in the
Disputed Territory.

The imports and exports of the Jap
anese in the ports of Niuchwang, Tien-
tsin and Chefoo, not including Port Ar
thur, Dalny and Tsiaodshow, amount to
$15,O00,000. Including the latter three
places the japanese commerce exceeds
that of any other country. The follow
ing figures of imports and exports into
Tientsin and Chefoo in 1901 indicate the
predominance of the Japanese: Japan,
$4,600,392; Hong Kong, s3.446,262; all
other countries, 81, 635, 1888.
The same may be said of Japanese i'm
ports into Niuchwang. with the excep-
ton of the imports of cotton goods, in
which business the Americans are at the
head. Imports from the United States,
$2,946,500; from East Indies, $2,35T 200;
from Japan, S942,880
On the other hand, Japan is leading in
the business of exporting beans and bean
cakes from Niuchwang, which average
from $3,535, 800 to $4.714. 400 per annum.
Upon the whole. the commerce of
japan In Niuchwang 10 more than 81, :
100000 per annum.

in figures, but in the enthusiasm and
patriotism Of her troops and her people.
The japanese people are animated by
patriotism which borders on fanaticism.
They count it privilege to make any
sacrifice, no matter how great, for the
nation. The Japanese soldier is fatal
list. He considers it not only duty but
an honor, the greatest honor that can
come to him, to die fighting for the ma
ton
1t is told that in the great ceremony in
honor of those japanese who had fallen
in the fighting around Tientsin Gen.
Fukushima made a speech to the troops
who had participated in those battles
in which he told them he felt it an honor
to have commanded such men as those
who were dead, but it was still greater
honor to have died for Japan. This one
lesson is impressed upon the soldier
from the day he joins the colors. 1t Is
made a part of his military education,
and it is small wonder that it produces
a wonderful effect upon the army dis
cipline. The autocratic government Of
the car, on the other hand, demands and
receives a blind obedience rendered
without other interest than the obeying
of orders so as to escape the punish
ments that come with disobedience The
effect of the Japanese training makes of
their army an agile, enthusiastic, mobile
body, that stands out in strong contrast
to the slow moving, massive, machine Of
Russia.
The first conflict of the contest must
necessarily be on the sea. Japan must
control on the water before she can sue
cessfully transfer the conflict to the land.
Mr. o. x. Davis, the correspondent of
the New York Sun In China during the
Boxer troubles, contributed to the De-
cember Everybody's an article on the
Japanese Russian situation in which he
embodied good comparison of the

ocean on the north. Connecting these
widely seperate units is single line of
railway across Siberia. But this railway
has been equipped more for the trans
portation of troops than for the haul
ing of merchandise. On 1t not less than
$4,000 troops can be in motion at one
time, and within Is days from the time
the first of these leave st. Petersburg
they can be landed in Manchuria. OF
Russia's 100000 peace army not less
than 300, 900 are either in Manchuria at
the present time, or within short
distance of there.
On peace footing the Japanese army
numbers 10000 men. In time of war
this number can be increased to little
less than 900 men, but this is prac-
tically the extreme limit. Japan's peace
army is we'll equipped Considering it's
size it is we'll supplied with both ar
tillery and cavalry, though in neither
arm is it a match for the enormous
strength of Russia. OF means of trans
portation there is an abundance. Suf-
ficient transports are at hand to put the
entire army into Corea within a few days.
In the matter of strictly military dis
cipline there is none better among the
armies of the world
So much for army figures. The chance
for Japanese success upon land lies not

then united Corean tribes and their al
lies the Chinese. But the final victory
was with Japan, and another tributary
arch was erected, which is still standing,
and as trophy the victorious Japanese
carried home with them 10000 ears cut
from the heads of hapless Coreans. A
portion OF these grewsome trophies were
buried in each province of Japan, and a
monument, known as the monument of
ears, was placed over each grave To-
day these monuments stretch from one
end of the mikado's empire to the other,
some of them so close together that two
of them may be seen at the same time.
AS lasting reminder of this invasion
stands the tributary arch which the
Coreans were themselves compelled to
erect by the Japanese Gen. Kato. and
again for number of years their contri-
butious helped to fatten the Japanese
treasury.
Japan's third invasion of Corea came
in 1894. China claimed suzerainty over
Corea, and the claim was not disputed at
Seoul. On the other hand, Corea, like
China, wished to keep the foreigners out
of her territory. japanese traders were
numerous in Corean ports, and japan
proposed that they should stay there
The murder of japanese by a Corean
at Shanghai was the foundation of the
war which soon followed. China refused
to punish the murderer, or to turn him
over to Japan, but rather sent him, and
the body OF his victim, back to Seoul,
where the murderer was covered with
honors by the Emperor of Corea, while
the body of his victim was cut to pieces.
japan Immediately sent an invading
army into Corea, who in turn promptly
called upon China for assistance, which
was given.
The war that followed was not of long
duration. Japan was victorious, and
claimed the right of establishing a pro-
tectorate over Corea. TO this the pow
ers of Europe. and especially Russia, OBJ
jected, and the vtctors had to be salts

edgment Of Corsan Independence BY
