"a wonderful revolution has
been wrought in the consciences
of mankind in the last four years.
We had got to a point in this
country where patriotism meant
little more than a word. Many
men had patiotism on their lips
and treason in their hearts. The
moral awakening that is now
sweeping the country is simply
the patriotism that comes from
the hearts of the people-a de-
termination to stamp out the
things of dishonor in public life
and the things that Cypress in
private life," says Governor Folk,
and in this life he speaks the
truth again. Those who are I'M

come when the incompetent and

RESCRIPT OF THE EMPEROR
FRANCE sHARPELY CRITICISED
By THE JAPANESE.

81. Petersburg. Jan. 14.-New Years
reviews by the various newspapers ad-
NIT frankly that the Japanese have
mad the better of the war so far but
The whole tone of the press is summed
up IN The following statement in Russ.
They have done well, but not well
enough They have entrenched them
selves in Korea as though they were at
nome, have captured Port Arthur and
made conquest of most of southern
Manchuria, but are face TO face with
Russian army of equal numbers and
they are checked The new year viii
show the Russian flag raised again
along the borders of the warm waters. -
The NovOe Vremya alone comments
on the Russian note to the powers re-
garding Chinese neutrality, and says it
reveals serious situation that Secre-
tary Hays diplomacy well conceived at
the beginning of the war for the limi-
tatlon of the field of hoStilities has
broken down under the test of actual
trial. China cannot or will not pre-
serve her neutrality and Russia has
been confronted time and time again,
the article says, by the way in which
Weihaiwei and Chefoo have been used
as japanese bases. In conclusion, the
Novoe Nremya says 1t is a situation
wherein Russia must no longer rely
upon international diplomacy, but must
take steps for her own protection.

FRANCE CRITICISED.
Japan Makes the Charge of Breach Of
Neutrality

Toxic, Jan. 14.-(NOOn. 1.-The French
are sharply criticised for permitting
the ships of the second Pacific squad
ron of the Russian navy to make a pro-
longed stay at Madagascar. Hereto
fore the Japanese press and people. re-
alfzing the peculiar position in which
France WAS placed. was not disposed
TO judge her actions TOO severely, but
the Asahi today says:
1t is no longer possible to overlook
the French nOn-obServance of neutral
ity nor her disregard for the obIiga-
tions of a neutral nation.
'COaling the ships of the second Pa
cific squadron in French ports has Gull
minated in allowing Rear Admiral
ROjestvensky to remain for twelve
Gays awaiting reinforcements and in
the use of NADIA gascar as a base of op-
erations against the japanese fleet now
reported in the Indian ocean.
such action is little less than hos
tile. and If France is sincere in her
promises of strict neutrality the ships
Of the second Pacific squad ron ought
long ago have been sent away or dis
armed.
Further temporizing for the purpose
OF rendering assistance to the Russian
vessels. must be considered a serious
breach of neutrality"
