begin this letter in the monastery
established by the Roman Catholic
monks of La Trappe, near the village
of Tobetsu in Hokkaido. AS nothing
is said of this remarkable institution
in any of the guide books of Japan, |
think l may dwell somewhat in detail
on my experiences here.
The monastery, which is visible
from the landing place, is not build
ing of any architectural pretensions.
It consists of a white, barnlike, one
storied structure, about 200 feet In
length and facing the sea, this main
building being flanked by two higher
buildings, whose gables are turned
toward the visitor and cut in two
equal parts by an entrance door, be-
hind which rises church steeple
sixty or eighty feet high, bearing on
the summit a cross, and near the sum-
NIT a large terra Gotta image of the
Madonna and Child.

visitors would rather serve to amuse
them. This, suppose, is why this
custom has been abandoned.
Next the two religieux invite the
visitor by signs only, to follow them
to the church 'parce que lie Maitre de
la maison, c'est Dieu." On returning
to the hotellerie, one of the two takes

pretentious building used as school.
A good deal Of the land about the
monastery seemed to be cultivated
by the monks, but their waving fields
of corn contrasted strongly with the
uncultivated and apparently uninhab-
tied country around about, while the
deserted appearance of the gloomy
building in front Of us was height
ened by the entire absence of life and
movement. 1t was not till we had
arrived at the entrance gate that there
was any indication that the place was
not deserted. A busy. bustling little
brother in brown monks robe, with
hood and a leathern girdle, then
rushed out to welcome us. His head
was bare, his grown beard, long and
flowing, his face rather handsome, with
aquiline nose and bright, vivacious
eyes, but rather pale and worn. He

right, which contained by far the most
comfortable rooms in the house.
Everything our eyes encountered
was monastic. The entrance hall con-
tanned large statues of the Sacre
Occur, Notre Dame de Lourdes, and
St. Joseph. The long cloister along
which we passed was hung with
sacred texts and pious maXims In
Latin and Japanese.
It seems that we were not received
exactly according to the manner laid
down in the rules, but 1t can be easily
understood of course that some unim

Eight of them are novices.

surances that the Malacca will be re-
leased, cabled by the Associated Press
from st. Petersburg to the United
States, do not appear in the British
morning papers. Special dispatches
to a somewhat similar effect from st.
Petersburg do not allay the alarmiSt
views of the leading organs which con-
strue Premier Balfour's post midnight
announcement that the government
had received no confirmation that the
reported release of the Malacca to
mean that the incident remains I'M
settled.
Another cause for great apprehen-
sion is the broader question of Russia's
right to send vessels of her volunteer
fleet through the Dardanelles A
striking evidence that the danger of
the situation has not been mitigated
in the least so far as British official
and public opinion is concerned is af-
forded by The Daily Telegraph which,
under a large type caption. An Acute
Crisis" declares that THE relations
between Great Britain and Russia have
reached the stage of an acute crisis.
but behind the incident of the Malacca
is the far larger question of the status
OF the so-called volunteer fleet.
TT has, we believe, been made clear
to the Cars Government that the
TRANSFORMATION of merchant vessels
passing the Dardanelles as such into
armed cruisers cannot be recognized
under any pretext whatever as Justify
ing Russians interference with British
shipping. 1t is not impossible that
as a concession to Russian dignity the
government may offer to permit the
Malacca to put into some neutral port.

In it's editorial article this morning.
The Daily Telegraph becomes even
more alarming. declaring that upon
Russian response to Lord Lansdowne's
demands the issues OF peace or war
are staked"
Continuing. The Daily Telegraph
Says that only in the event that Rus
STA is prepared to accept the British
conditions on the larger issue would
the government, AS sop to the Rus
sian dignity" permit the Malacca to
be taken to natural port.
The main question to be settled be-
tween the British and Russian govern
ments if we are to maintain even
technical relations of friendship" said
the Daily Telegraph's editorial. lis the
status of the Russian so-callsd volun-
teer fleet. The point which has been
made clear to the Cars government by
Lord Lansdowne is that Great Britain
will not permit a lightning change
from a merchant vessel to an armed
cruiser. In other words, If these I'M
chartered liberties of the Russian
navy attempt to stop or to search
British vessel they will be called upon
to desist, and If they refuse to obey
the demand, they will be fired upon
and sunk. We further understand that
the Ottoman government will take
steps to prevent the passage OF the
