 NN HEN Japanese tells you about AHV the death of his son he smiles
 w When Japanese soldiers are being shot down in the ranks by machine guns their comrades burst into roars of laughter The caretaker of General Nogi's home in Japan informed a visitor that the Generals wife was the fortunate mother of two heroes, one of whom had just "ended' with great honor and valor sat Nanshan.
 Look on that picture and then on this
 The few Japanese who are held as pris- oners by the Russians have two com plaints to make. The first is that they are allowed to bathe only once In two weeks The second is that they haven't any technical books to read. They don't quarrel with their food. They don't quarrel with their housing. The Japanese live the simple life. But they do want water and prin'
 Are these two pictures ineongruous? Are the Japanese highly civilized in some respects and primarily undeveloped in others? Their poems and their vases show an exquisitely cultivated taste. Does their laughter over their fallen com rades open the chink through which we can look back beyond their art into their real savagery?
 We think not. It is hard for any na- ton to understand the conventions of an- other. Laughter over the dead is a con- vention in Japan. Convention demands over there that no one shall publicly dis play his grief. To Japanese 1t seems repulsive that man should f1aunt his

SIMPLE LIFE AS LIVED
 IN MIKADO'S KINGDOM

woes before his fellows. They expect him to keep his emotions to himself and to greet the world with merry face. Most savages are altogether abandoned in their expressions of grief or joy. or rage. The concealment of the feelings is incidental to exceeding sophistication. When the Japanese smiles over his dead he would seem therefore, to bertay an over-sophjs- tication rather than a barbarous callous- ness of heart.
 The Japanese loves his country and his home tenderly and passionately. He feels intensely. But he conceals his feelings. That is his way. There is no revelation of savagery in 1t.
 Nevertheless, the charge of savagery is in one respect, true It is fortunate for Japan that it is. The Japanese has the nervous system of the most fastidi- ously civilized man. His works of art, his organization of LIS army, are two among many proofs. At the same time the Japanese has the nervous system of the most undeveloped savage. In all the primal qualities of courage and endur- ance, the subjects of the Mikado seem sun u bt idWihS S-Setuy iahto AAOih the remote springs of the worlds strong youth.
 May 1t not be the simple life that does it? The Japanese has his bare. clean rooms, his water, his tea, and his books. He studies necessarily and is not worn out He does the most finished artistic work, and, instead of becoming decadent, remains normal and wholesome. His life is as simple as it is complex. This paradox is the nut for the student to crack.
