Knowledge is Power.

The old adage which we use for
a headline was never better exempli-
fed than in the present war between
Russia and Japan. 1t is now quite
well understood that Japan knows
more about the arts Of war than
Russia does, and knowledge is pow
er and always will be. Japan for a
generation has fostered technical
schools and the little Japs have
gone out and gathered knowledge
from every quarter of the globe,
much the same as a swarm of bees
go out and gather honey from every
flower of the fields. The Japanese
are Malays, and the Malays as a
race have never shown any ability as
original thinkers. They are how
ever artful copyists and the Japan
ese are probably in advance Of any
one European nation in the field Of
technical knowledge.

Address to King Oscar Charge. tho s.oes

sion to Fate.
An address to the king was also
adopted, which says: "The course of
developments which have proved more
powerful than the desire and will of
individuals has led to this result. The
union entered upon in 1914 has, from
the first hour, been differently inter-
preted by the two nations, both with
regard to its spirit and letter. Efforts
have been made Oh the Swedish side
to extend the union, and on the Nor
wegian side to con1ine it to the limit
laid down by the act of union, and
otherwise to assert the independent
power Of both states in ali matters
not defined in that act as coming un-
der the union.
"The difference of principle in the
Interpretation of the character of the
union has provoked much misunder-
standing between the two peoples, and
has caused much friction in the inter-
probation which during the recent ne
gOtiations between the two countries
has been laid down by Sweden as
against Norway. The Norwegian PEG.
pie Were bound to perceive the injury
to their constitutional right, their in.
dependence, and their national honor.
''The union was justified SO long as
1t could contribute to the welfare and
happiness of both peoples while main
tanning their independence as sovcr-
eign states. But above the union there
stands for us Norwegians our Norwe-
gian fatherland. and for the Swedes
their Swedish fatherland, while more
valuable than the political union are
the feelings Of solidarity and voluntary

ATTITUDE OF THE JAPANESE
Dent Want to Lose Their Advantage
Views At st. Petersburg.

Don't Want to Lose Their Advantage
Views At st. Petersburg.
Toxic, June 12.-The Japanese main.
tain an attitude of reserve toward the
question of peace. 1t seems to be the
popular fear that Japan will sacrifice
the advantage of Admiral Togo's VIC
tory as well as Field Marshal Oya-
mas opportunities by consenting to an
armistice now. 1t is felt that Togo's
victory opens the entire Russian Pa
cifc coast to invasion, and that Oyama
fs capable of speedily taking Hardin,
cutting the railway and isolating Vladi-
vostok. 1t is also feared that the Rus.
slams will take advantage of an armis-
tice to improve their positions and
strengthen their forces. There is a
general demand that Japan carefully
safeguard its interests if an armistice
is declared.
st. Petersburg, June -. - Russia
is waiting for Japan to fix the time
and the place when and where the
Japanese terms will be placed in the
hands of Russia's representative. The
foreign Office expects that the delay
will be brief. The emperor's govern
ment would prefer that Paris should
be the scene of the initial step, but 1t
is explained that neither the place nor
the personality of the Russian repre-.
sentativ ematters greatly.
