rel with Russia not only because she
dislikes the cars methods with refer

should permit him TO go on as he has
begun in the east. Japan will be forced
forever into the background. Thus it
is that the mikadO today has the sym
patty OF practically the entire civilized
world. He is standing for the rights Of
other nations besides his own, whereas
Russia stands for the rights of but one
nation-Russia.
A New Japan.
Not that Japan likes Russia. Far
from il. Indeed. she has good cause to
feel anything but friendly toward the
bear" She has never forgiven Russia
for the contemplate part that country
played in the settlement between China
and Japan. When the ChinO-Japanese
war began, there was not one military
man out Of a hundred who did not
think that China would project her
hOrdes into Korea and literally sweep
the timorOuS JapS into the sea. Those
who called attention 10 the fact that
japan had succeeded in getting tOgeth
or the nucleus of a very respectable
navy were met with the statement that
China had been doing something along
that line herself. and that even on the
sea she was apt 10 demonstrate that
numbers would count over the slight
additional intelligence which il was
conceded that Japan possessed. The
battle Of the Yalu put TO UOut the sup
porters Of the Chinese navy, and the
fight at Port Arthur disposed Of what
ever consideration the Chinese army
might previously have been entitled TO.
But. after ALL it was not that China's
prowess had been overestimated. ia
pans simply had been underestimated.
In short. IL was the same old China
which went to war. but a different.
very different. Japan.
Strong on Land and Sea.
When Japan. flushed with victory
and anxious to emulate the example OF
the more liberal larger nations in her
peace settlement. suggested terms
which were so generous that China
naturally would have been delighted
TO accept them. Russia cOOlly stepped
in and practically told Japan that she
should have nothing for her trouble.
II she cared to take FOrmOsa, all well
and good, but the smallest piece Of the
Chinese mainland-never. Russia pro

would have. the position or watchdog
Of Korea" by common consent among
the nations of the world having long
since been accorded to Japan by reason
of her proximity and later because of
her having fairly won the distinction in
her war with China. But the purpose
of the Russian government had been
accomplished. and Korea appeared to
be the issue. while Manchuria was. at
least temporarily. forgotten.
But, shrewd as are the cars diplomats
Ihe mikado has about him u few men,
ike Ito ard KOmura, who know a bit
about diplomacy themselves. They
had permitted the Russians to go on
and on and on assuming that the Japs
had forgotten that Manchuria is still
on the map. They were merely biding
their time Therefore when the Rus

TO accept as being a warrantable posi-

she had regarded as Il very clever bit
Of land grabbing, a clash then became
inevitable.

80 regarded as being Of more value
in the field than the soldiers Of any
nation, and yet from the strictly tech
meal standpoint they are probably the
poorest soldiers in the world. Except
for the handful Of men who constitute
the regular army, the United States
has no troops ready to do field duty as
il is understood in Germany and Rus
STA and even in France. The cOndi-
tons render, that unnecessary. But,
as has been demonstrated on several
occasions, the American in six months
is converted into the most valuable
military man the world has ever seen.

to do it. With the American the Of
ficers principal duty is to let his men
know what he wishes them to do.
That is all that is necessary. The men
find a way TO do it, and the officers
don't bother to inquire too closely into
the methods which brought about the
desired result.
