as popular seaside resort, suburban
retreat to which the thrifty Yokohama

its thousand and one novel amusements,

Yokosuka Is probably the most for
midable stronghold in the world.

resort and observation as a fortress

Arrived at Yokohama. the bogus
American found it impossible to obtain
any accurate information concerning
the situation at Yokosuka. From ma
tive sources he could only extract the
| constantly repeated and smiling asser-
ton that it was summer resort pure
and simple. An American merchant in
| Tokyo who had been in Yokosuka q
dozen times confessed that he had
heard rumors of the Notifications there.
but admitted that he had never seen
ANYTHING of them. The Russian was
determined to see for himself whether
or not his Japanese steamer friends had
misled him.
He saw nothing suspicious looking
except preponderance of marines. An
other rather suggestive feature that at
tracted his attention was the number
of signs in all public places forblddlng
the use of the camera. He discovered
that the place was provided with i'm
mense dry docks. Il great arsenal ana

landscape as he would he could locate
no Notifications. He returned to 1oko-
hama convinced that he had been trick
ed by his Japanese friend. A local
Protestant missionary, a representative
! of a New England society, came to the
rescue and enlightened the tourist
from America" as to the actual situa-
ton.
There are no outer works at Yoko-
suka. In constructing this stronghold
japan took the rock of Gibraltar for
pattern. The rock at Yokosuka, how
ever, is several miles in length. consti-
tuting a series Of volcanoes ready for
eruption at a moments notice. The
strategical value of the situation was
recognized by the japanese general
staff twenty years ago. when 1t was
but a squalid fishing village. and the
mikado's government at once set to
work to develop it. Hundreds OF years

before that time the mountains SUR
rounding Yokosuka had been mined for
iron and copper. These abandoned
mines were used by the Japanese engi-
neers to create second rock of Gil
braltar in every sense of the term. At
Gibraltar the mouths of threatening
cannons are plainly visible, but at Yo-
kosuka nothing hostile can be seen.
During the twenty years of it's con-
version into what is probably the most
i.1pregnable fortress in the world Yo-
kosuka has posed as Yokohama's most
popular suburb. If the citizens of that
great city have been even remotely cog
infant of what has been going on they
have been careful not to appear wise.
1t is fact that no foreigner has ever
seen the interior Of these fortified mines
and that ell the work of making them
Improbable has been done by native
engineers and workmen.
