Russian agents, official and unofficial,
were pursuing a course that plainly in
dicated a design to gain control of i'm
pertant strategic points. In particular,
there was an endeavor to widen d con-
cession obtained by a Russian company
for cutting timber upon the Yalu into a
project not unlike that carried out I'M

japanese government could not fail to
view these movements with grave con-

tice of its cause. but for our part we can

III stress is laid upon the fact that ia

progress of the negotiations. need only
be answered that before negotiations be-

JAPANESE MINISTER.

In the current number of the North
American Review Kogaro Takahira. Jap
anese minister to the United States. eX-
plains the motives which guide Japan in
the war with Russia.
Beginning with an apology for under
taking the explanation Of a matter which
the frankness of his government has made
so clear. Minister Takahra writes:
The fundamental purpose of Japan's
action has been TO safeguard vital inter
ests which would be seriously menaced
If Russia absorbed Manchuria. and fol-
lowed that by the inevitable sequence OF
such action-the absorption of Korea
There is no reason TO doubt that the
latter step forms part of the general
scheme of Russia's advance in the Far
East.
Her course in Manchuria points to the
conclusion that she intends to make its
provinces. sooner or later. a part of the
Russia nempire Russia once in undis-
puted possession of Manchuria, the Ko-
rean peninsula would be an easy prey.
and there is nothing in what we know
of the rules that govern Russian policy
in the Far East that suggests the belief
that the temptation would be resisted.
To japan everything affecting Korean
affairs is Of the gravest Importance. Oc-
cupany by a foreign power would mean.
at the very least. the restriction of the
commerce and Of the peaceful activities
of her people in the most promising field

would certainly entail measures of self
protection which could not but become

sources.

PROFIT OF AMERICAN LESSON.

AT the time of the Chino-Japanese
war the women nurses were not as well
trained as they are now, for they have
profted by the knowledge of American
nurses, who, according to DIR. Lorenz.
are the best there are. During the last
few years there have been American and
European women at the head of the Jap
anese training schools and this has
done much TO increase the efficiency of
the nurses.
The Empress of Japan always sets an
example to her country women. The Red
Cross Society is under the patronage of
the emperor and empress, while the pres
idency is always held by a prince of the
royal house. When war breaks out the
empress is always among the first to
take up active work. spending many
hours of each day sewing for the soldiers
and preparing bandages and visiting the
hospitals, giving personal aid to those
who are in distress.
'All class feeling is put aside and the
women of the samural work side by side
with the peasant women, and the offer
ings of the ladies of the nobility are no
better than the gifts of the geishas.
1T was the same spirit shown by the
act of Yamagata. the general who led
the forces against China. Although he
was a full general and old man, he
positively refused to provide himself with
any better accommodations than the com
mon soldiers had. He ate where they
ate and what they ate, slept as they slept
and Travelled as they Travelled. The re-
suit Of his action was that the men fairly
worshipped him.
The japanese soldiers do not start off
to war with as much fuss and feathers
as our soldiers do. They are very I'M
demonstrative, and the women
much so as the men. The Japanese women
have quite the same spirit as the Spartan
women had. A mother is more proud
than grieved if her son is brought home
dead. TO her it is an honor that her son
has been allowed TO Gle for the mikado
and for ,Japan
