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

FIGHTING STRENGTH

WllkadO's Forces should win at the

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
1t 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, it consists Of food sup
plies, of means Of transportation, and Of
discipline. enthusiasm and patriotism.

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 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
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 a privilege to make any
sacrifice, no matter how great, for the
nation. The Japanese soldier is a fatal
ist. 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 part Of his military education,
and 1t is small wonder that it produces
