Toxic, April 12.--Japan Is meeting
the Russian plan Of reorganization
and Reinforcement of its Manchurian
armies with an extensive expedition
from its own military organization.
The details and figures are carefully
concealed of what seems to be plan
to double the present army units, but
1t is reliably estimated that by autumn
next the total military organization
will exceed a million men actually en-
ployed in the field. The fighting force
is roughly estimated at 100000 men,
with increases largely in the infantry
and artillery, although an enlargement
in the cavalry branch is also contem-
plated.
As a result Of the manufacture at
the arsenals in Japan together with
captures and purchases Of guns 1t Is
predicted that this year will see Jap
anese artillery superior to that OF the
Russian, in quality as well as numeri-
cally, and It Is confidently believed that
the Russians will be incapable OF over
coming these numerical disadvantages.
Wherever railroad improvements are
possible they will be carried out, when
Japan win be anficiently strong to
take and hold Hardin and simultane-
ously continue operations against the
Russian forces to the eastward OF the
city.

We shall pay you your full fee" And they did.
And now said the man, since YOU are here, what
do you say to visiting the city hospital and giving
a clinic for the benefit OF our local surgeons? 1t
is not often they have an opportunity OF bencNtlng
by such science as yours"
Sir Morel said he would gladly comply, He went
to the hospital and performed many operations,
among which were two of a similar nature to that
for which he had been called over. When he had
finished all thanked him profusey on the steamer
