JAPANESE STRATEGY.
Getting Rations Into Korea Before In

Getting Rations into Korea Before In
vading That Country.
When the celebrated Japanese soldier
Hideyoshi was making preparations
for his invasion of Korea be was ap-
preached one day by the veteran Asana
Nagamasa. who gagged him in the
following colloquy. 1t Is recorded IN
Walter Deming's New Life Of Togo
toni Hideyoshi:"
Nagamasa What commissioned ar
engagements had better be made?
Hideyoshi-W Well. you had better get
ready 100000 koku of rice.
N.-What is to be done with the rice
after it is ready?
H.-Use every transport that is to be
had and send it over to Fusan.
Matter landing it, how are we to
protect it?
H.-Don't protect it; let it fare as 1t
will.
N.-If we do that the Koreans will
capture it all.
H.-Well. isn't that what we want?
N.-But II we lose our provisions we
shall be in trouble.
HIT is a case of 100000 koku. Such
a quantity Of rice is not to be carried
OFF in a hurry, nor can it be consumed
in short time.
N.-But the Koreans will carry it in
land.
H.-If they do that nothing could
suit US better. To get the enemy to do
your transport service for you for the
amount OF rice that can be consumed
on the road is good enough. By adopt
ing this plan our troops will always
find provisions waiting for them as
they advance.
What Hideyosbi predicted actually
did take place and rice that had been
carried of by the Koreans was repeat

Full AND ABLE MANAGEMENT
COMPARATIVE BANK FIGURES

indianapolis, Nov. 1S.-Reports COM
piled at the Office of the auditor of
state show that the money held by all
kinds of banks in Indiana for deposi-
tors at the close Of the fiscal year,
1907, was s22,959, S23 08 in excess of
the sum which was held for deposit
tors at the close Of the fiscal year,
1906. In other words, the people in
Indiana had in bank at the close Of
this year $22, 959, S23OS more than they
had In bank at the close Of last fiscal
year. Estimating that one family
could subsst one year on $500 this
sum would be sufficient for the sup
port of approximately $4,000 families
for one year. If one Thanksgiving
turkey should cost 81. this sum would
be sufficient to provide more than s.
100000 with one turkey each.
However. in the compilation of the

private banks, savings banks and

fiscal year, September 80, 1907. The
figures on national banks were taken
from the report of the controller of
the currency, showing the condition Of
such banks in Indiana, August %,
1907. The compilation shows in gen.
eral the banks of Indiana in highly
satisfactory condition. The amount of
deposits held by "anks is one of the
best gauges by which ITO determine
the business of these banks. This
enormous increase in deposits shows
not only that the banking business
of the last year was good, but it shows
also that the people of the state have
been busy and that they are thrifty.
