TOXIC, March 2S.-The recruiting of
troops is an entirely different matter in
Japan from which it is in the United
States. The armed force of the country
consists of the standing army and the first
and second reserves. When war was de-
clared the standing army was raised to
war strength by recruiting from the first
reserve, which was in turn filed from the
second reserve. The second reserve was
then filled by CONSUMPTION. New regi-
ments of conscripts are now being added
and will be well trained for the field by
the time they are needed.
Every man in Japan of serviceable age is
subject to military draft. The government
possesses lists of all the available men and
they are chosen by lot. When a mans
name is drawn a notice to report at the
barracks is sent to him by policeman
That is signal for congratulations and

Tacoma, March %, 1904.
Editor Tacoma Times-Sr: In reply to
the statement of Mr.. Mahnc1e in last eve
ning's edition of your paper, wherein he
insinuates that am at the bottom of the
attack made upon him by one Gus John
san, am very much surprised that man
of Mr.. Mahncke's standing would make
such false statements made out Of whole
cloth. The facts are that Mr.. johnson
never worked for me at any time, or in
any capacity; that the fracas did not occur
in front of my place of business, but on
the opposite side of the street, between
the Grand Central hotel and Thirteenth
street. knew nothing about the matter
and have always been friendly to Mr..
Mahncke and do not wish to be placed in
a false light unjustly before the public.
Yours respectfully,
