were held that so low a standard of integrity existed among then1--at least this is the explanation usually given. Even now Japanese as we'll as foreign. CTS complain that the merchants fin- pose upon their customers. but here, also. a change is taking place. and a new order of things Is being inaugura- ted. There are Tn every city merchants of honor and responsibility. who are redeen1ing trade from the stigma which it so long bore still unless the stran- ger knows with whom he Is dealing. 1t is well to have Japanese adviser, for we found by experience that the price named to foreigners was sometimes considerably above the regular price
 For centuries Japan lived an iso- lated iife. and developed herself accord ing to her own ideas Of her native religion, Shintoism, of the introduction of Buddhism and of the first Christian missionaries. I shall speak in a later article She repelied an attack of Mongo1s which might have been disas- trous to her but for the fact that q timely storm destroyed the invading fleet, much as the Spanish armada was destroyed. She has from time to time attempted the invasion of Korea, the last attempt being made about 300 years ago. A little later the shogun, Iemitsu, alarmed by sthe spread Of the Christian religion, introduced by Catho- lie missionaries from Spain and Portu- gal shut the country up. and for two and one-half centuries no foreigner was admitted. and no citizen of Japan was permitted to go abroad.
 To more surely keep his people at home the shogun prohibited the build ing of any but small sailing vessels. IL is almost incredible that so large a group of people can have enjoyed the civilization which existed here. and still concealed themselves so complete ly from the outside world and remained so ignorant of the mighty movements in Europe and America. In 1858 Com- nnodore Perry arrived with an American fleet and treaty was finally entered into which opened the country to for eign intercourse. Jaran wss ripe for the change. While there was at first an anti-foreign sentiment which af- fected domestic politics, and at one time resulted in an attack upon for eign vessel, the assimilation of western civilization was rapid and constant. Young men began to go abroad, foreign teachers were sent for, and the Japan ese people began to manifest q wonder ful aptitude for the adaptation of for eign ideas to local conditions. The army and navy were reconstructed up- on European models, and a public school system largely like our own was established.
 In most countries reforms have come up from the masses through more or less prolonged seasons of agitation. but in Japan the higher classes have been the leaders. and have extended increased social and governmental advantages to the whole people with out a struggle. In every department of thought there has been progress. and in every line of work there have been leaders whose ambitions and ideals have been high and noble.
 To illustrate the change that has taken place. Count Okuma cites the case of the famous military genius, the

 a very young man Yamagata was q spearman in the army organized by the daimois of Choshu to attack the for eign ships at the Shimonoseki straits. He was so ignorant of modern war
 fare that he was confident of the ability of the Japanese to defeat the foreigners with spears. He thought that the Europeans and Americans would be at the mercy of the natives as soon as they landed. His surprise may be imagined when Ieaden mis- siles moved down his comrades long before the spears could be brought into use. But this young man who at
 tempted in 1884 to measure spear against rife, betook himself to the study of the military methods of the foreigners, and in the recent war with
