The three armies Of Field Marshal
Oyama are reported to have united

that Kuropatkin does not contemplate

The spirit animating the Japanese

ONE SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE
NO SPIRIT OF LOVE OR
FEELING.
The Other Proves That They Publicly
Express Their Affection on Every
Available Occasion.

The boys and girls, the young men
and young women of Japan do love
each other, l suppose, but one never
sees the slightest shadow of evidence
to prove it. The spirit of love does
not dominate the national life as il
does in America and the countries OF
Europe. Japan's poets do not sing OF
love; her story-writers tell no tales OF
love that can thrill an Anglo Saxon
heart, and her artists paint no pictures
of love that can reach the Anglo Saxon
understanding. Now, considering all
this, how can there be such thing as
"a good old summer time" in this land
of the sunrise? And yet there is, it is
especially delightful in it's way, too,
because the Japanese are a nation of
feasters and picnickers, of nature
lovers and orld-beautifiers, and if
one only lose sight of the fact that ev-
erywhere one goes the poor, little Wo-
men toddle meekly along behind the
men, who stalk pompously ahead as if
they owned the earth, one may al
most enjoy ones SELF
One never sees woman caressed in
Japan, not even with glance one
seldom sees a baby fondled; in fact,
all human tenderness, or expressions
of human tenderness is conspicuous by
it's absence, and I believe that is the
one impossible great gulf that is fixed
between us and these people which is
endeavoring SO earnestly to become one
of us. And yet the people are happy
with a simple, sweet happiness that is
charming. That is it. 1t is an atmo-
sphere that mildly charms but never
thrills the western heart. All the ma
tons love is concentrated upon the
emperor, and the highest note of the
national life is sounded in yamatOda-
NASH, Japan spirit-patriotism; and
this even is beyond our comprehension,
because it is empty of romance and un-
satisfactory to us, who cannot sep.
arate the interests of fair women and
brave men, even upon the battlefield
