RESPECTS JAP AND RUSSIAN

The praises OF the Japanese soldiers
on the field Of battle have been sung.
but I wish / could sing those of the
intrepid fighter as he appears in a hos
pital bed, wounded and helpless writes
Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee of Wash
ington, who left America at the out
break OF h0stilities between Janan and
Russia TO take charge Of Red Cross
work FOR the wounded Japanese and
their prisoners in Manchuria.
In the course of a letter from Hiro-
shima, Japan. DR.. MCGEE continues:
No matter from what part of Japan
the little soldiers come, they are gem
tlemen. Not once have / heard a quarrel
hospital Really, 1 have begun to love
them"
Or. MCGEE does not confine her praises
sOlely 70 the Japanese, but mentions the
TACT that while the members of her
party were quarteTed in the Korean
Town or NongampO the Russians brought
Them wood from a distance Of a hundred
ihlles ana sawed it at mill for them
before they continued their flight from
Inc pursuing Japanese regiments.
FOR ten days In July the nurses were
matted at Antung, where they had as
their apartments the temple OF the
Goddess of Heaven" Never in the
history Of any war during the past 100
years has there been less illness among
the combatants.' DR.. MCGEE says: AT
the beginning of the conflict reports
were sent out which wildly exaggerated
the number OF deaths caused by illness.
IN the hospitals at Antung and the main
hospitals In Tokyo there are few men

typhoid fever.

are not acting as hypOcrites in their
treatment of captured Russians. Re
ports have been sent out that the jap

didly. simply to play to the gallery of
the nations, II ! may use the term. Such
Is not the case, The little brown men
are perfectly sincere. They are treating
their prisoners they treat their own
wounded. Neither Russian nor Jap can
understand each other aud 10 is quite
amusing TO see the wounded men in the
hospitals converse with each other by
means OF pantomimes and grimaces.
The sortie of the Port Arthur squad
