That the Japanese. would one day

Is the prediction made almost cen.
fury ago in the book of Russian ma
val observer, which prophecy seems
not unlikely of fulfIiment at the.

In 1911 Capt. yasil GoIawin, OF the
Russian navy. was instructed to
cruise along the coral archipelagoes
of the Pacific to ascertain which of
these We're Inhabited by the Japanese,
and accordingly he set sail from odes-
sa in the DIANA arriving some two
months later off the coast OF Yezo.
Only one or two copies of Capt.
Goiawin's book are extant, one of
them being In the library of the Win
ter Palace at st. Petersburg. Pub.
lished in 1915. Capt Golawin's Cap
nvity in Japan, throws an interesting
light upon the physical and moral
characteristics of the Japanese Nation
at a time when little. ii anything,
definite was known by Europeans
particularly in RussIa--of the traits
of the Monaghan island people. The
author says:
Il praise the Japanese for their skill.
They will one day be. probably. rulers
of the ocean coast of Asia. And what
can Russia do, being so far away
from this border? Should the Japan.
csc introduce European civilization
and European political systems, the
Chinese would be obliged to do the
same, and these two people could give
Europe another face 49,
