NJ. Teraoutchi, Japanese Minister of
War, has issued an order instructing
the japanese army in the field to alb
stain from criticising the terms OF
peace on the grounds that the declara-
ton of peace and of war are entirely
the outcome of sovereign power. His
order forbids the criticism of either
subject, especially by those engaged in
military service. He advises the sol
diers to utilize the opportunities of
| peace after the disbandment of their
regiments by engaging in their respec-
tive occupations, always holding them
selves in readiness to join the colors at
