LECTURE ON JAPAN.
William E. Curtis Speaks Under Aus
pices Of Peoples Free Course.

Mr.. William E. Curtis, correspondent Of
the Chicago Record-Herald delivered a
lecture on THE japanese Side of the War
last evening in the free course for the peo-
pie at the Public Library. He described
the organization and training of the Japa-
nese army, and how eager every young man
in the empire was to serve as a soldier. No
Japanese ever tried to escape military duty
and instead Of running away from it, as is
the case in some other nations, they some
times commit suicide If they are rejected
by the recruiting officers because of physi-
cal defects. For the three years following
his enlistment, the boy undergoes a very
severe training in discipline, In military
tactics, in athletics and is also required to
keep up his studies of books because the
japanese have a theory that an educated
soldier is better than an ignorant one After
serving for three years, with the colors,"
as they say, the young man graduates into
what Is known as the First Reserve and
spends six weeks or two months Of each
of the next five years in camp. After that
he goes into the Second Reserve, which is
kept up as an organization which Is not
called upon for military service except in
time of war. Thus the Emperor of Japan
has always at his command more than
million trained soldiers, with an almost per-
feet organization. That is one of the rea-
sons why the Russians were defeated.
The army of Japan is very democratic.
the sons of peasants, and more than one
third of the officers. both in the army and
the navy, are from the peasant class. Ad-
miral Togo was born a peasant as was
General Kuroki and General Nogi and sew
eral others of the commanders of the ar
mics in Manchuria. A peasant boy has
just as much chance of becoming comman-
der-in-chief of the japanese army as O.
member of the royal family. In no nation
is the army much a part of the people
and the people so much a part of the army
as in Japan.
Mr.. Curtis gave an account of the sani-
tary regulations of the japanese army the
method of caring for the dead soldiers and
the pension system. The lecture was illus
trated by many beautiful lantern slides,
many of them being made from photo
graphs taken by Mr.. Curtis himself while
in Japan last year.
Prof. Howard l.. Hodgkins of the George
Washington University will lecture in the
course on the evening Of next Wednesday
in the hall of the Public Library, when he
will speak on Sound" All are invited to

new force is said to have entered into
the fight made by the Rechabltes the
Saloon League and the w. c. I. U.
before Congress for high license for the
sale of liquor in the District of Columbia.
The Congressional Temperance Society is
said to be agitating the question OF IN
creasing the retail license to q figure not
less than s, 300 a year. The policy of the
several cold-water societies, in combination
with the churches, will be, it is intimated,
to bring strong pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to reduce in this city what is termed
''the drink evil"
The influence of the Congressional Tenn
perance Society is claimed to be paramount,
as il has been in existence for upward of
eighty years the late Nelson Dingley being
one of its presidents. The members of this
society are in receipt of numerous letters
from the temperance organizations of their
respective congressional districts urging
this and kindred reforms In the shape Of
federal legisla ton, and it is minated that
If these members desire denomination and
reelection they must support the bill to in
crease the license in the District of CO.
lumbia.
An appeal recently issued by the temper
ance societies states that this local legisla-
ton will be urged by all the temperance
societies of the United States. and the
statement is made that the congressional
society is expected TO do the actual work
during the coming Congress.
