Enits. but no real drop in prices. Japan. says NJ. Ballet, can always borrow money so long as she can give two things-guarantees and victories. If Russia faneies, therefore, that she can starve out Japan save by carrying on the war for four or five years, which is unlikekly, she is gravely misin- formed. The Russian army, in his opinion, is so inferior. all things con- sidered, to ths Japanese forces that the latter would be victorious even if pitted against its enemy in the pro- portion of two to three. The. Japan csc reserves, he declares, are far from exhausted, and Japan can make ex- cellent soldiers in three months.

MORE WHo AKE AFRAID.

Yesterday we saw how the Dutch fear Japan. Now it appears that the French are. also afraid of her. A report has been made to Frances special par liamentary committee on naval affairs on the urgent necessity for strengthen ing the defences of Indo- China against the peril of a Japanese invasion. The report examines the means which it is necessary to adopt for the defence of the colony, and says the best solution of the problem is strongly to reinforce Indo-C China, so that the colony may be able to defend itself for several months against the Japanese, until French naval divisions reach the theater of operations. The programme to accom- ton of the naval forces in the Far East, an increase of the military force of occupation to a minimum of 55,000 men, the establishment of strong naval bases at Saigon, Kamranh Bay, Along Bay, and Pulo Condor, and the estab- lishment of torpedo boat and submarine boat stations at Cape St. James, Kam- ranh Bay and Turan. .E .
 The report concludes with asserting that it would be puerile to disregard the gravity of the situation. There fore it is necessary to make large sac ritices to place Indo-China in readiness to meet the shock. Detailed estimates are given of the cost of the work, namely, the fortification of Tonquin, guns and armament, $22,000,0o0; coast defences, including strengthening the naval base at Saigon, $14,0OOoOO and the establishment of torpedo and other stations, $6,oOO,0Oo, a total of $42,OO0,OOO
 The United States is still undis- turbed, though wary Perhaps we can "stick" the Japanese by selling or giv- ing them the Philippines instead of fighting with them.

SAFE 4 ND S0UND.

The tainted money situation is gradually clearing. At the seventy second annual meeting of the New York State Association of Congregational Churches in Binghamton the commit tee on applied Christianity devoted large part of it's report to discussion of the question of ''The Church and Wealth. One sentence from this re- port gives a good idea of its quality: We believe the church should guard against all such alliances with institu- tions or individuals of great wealth as can give color to the charge that the church is under the domination of the rich, or that her ministry is sienced regarding business methods oppressive and menacing to personal independ- ence." The Massachusetts General Association of Congregationalist Churches, in session at Lowell, adopted a resolution declaring that our Con- gregational churches and their repre- sentatives, in their dealings with per- sons whose character and business methods are in serious question: should have due consideration for the effect of such action on public morals and on the efficiency of the church as a moral and spiritual leader"
 These are good' ssfe' declarations and there will be no protest against them from New Haven.

Lord Grimthorpe had things that were called eccentricities. He hated new clothes: he disliked collars and ties. His favorite hat was the Pana- ma, and this in summer he would place under pump, souse it with wa ter, and then place. it on his head. Once the late Lady Grimthorpe complained that the drippings spoilt her mantle. Never ninds my dear,' he replied, q shall have to buy another He never wore a watch-chain that was visible to the outside world, but a long thin one which went round his neck and came tkre ugh the armho1e of his waisteoat, and was attached to the watch in the toplnost vest pocket.

William H. Shelton, the artist, back from Japan, is impressed by the eager ness of the natives. to learn English. He says: Ones first introduction to a country comes generally with the hand ling of its money, and the first Japan csc banknote you get bears on it's back the promise to pay, written in English. On the railroad stations you see the name in English, and also such familiar signs as This way in and This way out" It is the fashion of the country to acquire English. The natives will ask you to write out sentences which they don't understand and you see them trying to learn them. Almost unconsciously Japan is adopting the Roman alphabet.
