The secret of the success of Japan
ese diplomacy is that above all other
nations they have the art of remaining
silent down to a fine point. At the
Portsmouth conference peace was Of
fercd the Russians on such favorable
terms that the civilized world was as
tOniShCd at the magnanimity of the
victors. It was not until quite a while
|afterward that the true cause was
learned. Japan's resources had been
nearly exhausted i'll the struggle. With
out the sinews of warfare she must
have given up the struggle. But this
condition was concealed by the artfu
oriental and it was popularity supposed
that Japan would have been able tC
continue the war Indefinitely.
In the same manner the Japs con
cealCd their losses on the battlefield
Commanders of the mikado's forces
never gave Il correct list of the meI
lost by land and sea. Until recently
outside nations have had no idea OF
the immense sacrifice i'll human lives
offered up by the little yellow men. II
was through religious ceremony thai
knowledge was at last made public OF
May l of the present year. On that
day there was celebrated at the Vas
ukuni shrine in Toxic the third anC
last great ceremony in honor of the
souls of the dead patriots of the war
Because the emperor had decided thai
no mans soul should be sighted be
cause of polite pairing down of the list
of casualties the ceremony which tool

took in those to whom former honOrS
were done those who died of theil
wounds after the termination of tho
war, and, by imperative order of the
emperor. those nOn-cOmbatants who
lost their lives in the discharge of th2iI
duties in both branches of the service
y total OF the souls worshiped at the
three ceremonies gives the complete
toll of the war as far as the Japanes,
