The verdict of history will undoubt
edly rank Baron Kodama. the japanese
chief of staff who died lately, as one
| of the worlds greatest military gent
uses. For ten years, from the day wher
Japan was compelled to surrender the
fruits of its victory over the Chinese
| until the stolen Lao Tung peninsula
was again wrested from Russia
Kodama was the brains of the japanese
army. He it was who organized thu
marvellous fighting machine thai
humbled the armies of the Gar. What
has been said of the plans of Won Moltkt
was as true of those of Kodama with
this difference. that the japanese ex
celled the Prussian in preparation. He
not only organized the fighting units
and provided for their transportation
and maintenance but gave the world
| an impressive lesson IN military santa
tion. 1t is not too much to say that NJ
| army has ever been so thoroughly pro
| tected against the more deadly ravages
of disease than the japanese in the late
war.
