that on the contrary at both sue

citizens, the preponderance of SEN
tlment appeared greatly In favor OF
Japan. The reason for this Is very
easily accounted for. Ever since
Commodore Perry and his great

relations between the island en-
rire and this country half a CEN
fury ago, Americans have taken
special interes, In 1t and It's people.
It was from the U nited States that
the men who founded the party OF
progress In Japan largely drew
their inspiration. 1t was to this
country that they sent many OF their
sons to study the arts OF peace
and war. The japanese are very
apt imitators, and they have been
remarkably successful In reproduc
Ing achievements of Americans IN
many lines. They are both enter
prising and energetic aud also brave
They have we'll earned the title OF
