Debts of Russia and Japan.

Japan has Increased her debt from
about $3.50. 100000 to 1881, 900. 900. but
of this amount she has on hand per
haps as much as $175.O0O.O00 unex-

debt has increased from $3,282, 000, 900
to about $1,000, 100000. Japan will
probably receive about 100000, 900
from Russia in payment for the main
tenance OF prisoners of war, and Rus
STA must also borrow money for her
immediate needs at home. Japan,
therefore, seems to come out of the
war in better financial conditions than
Russia, in spite of the latter country's
vastly greater resources.
