Among the sources of moral
strength that failed to attract our
attention in Japan were the follow
ing; The training of her citizens
had long been patriotic and war
like in tendency; her educational
system had inculcated an ardent
love OF country. and even in her
primary schools children were pre-
pared, from their earliest years, to
be soldiers. The people regarded
the army with profound respect
and trust, and young men served in
it with pride. All these things we
failed to see. When the war began
we recovered our powers of percep-
ton, but it was then too late.
Hundreds of Japanese were ever
ready to undertake the most des-
perate enterprises, in the face of
certain death; and many officers
and soldiers. before going to the
front, had funeral ceremonies per-
formed over their bodies. in order
to show that they intended to die
for their native land.
The sons of noble and wealthy
Japanese sprang to arms and were
fellow patriots with their humber
comrades. In Russia the better
classes failed to respond. and We
had to conscript the poor and the
working people.

BroUest IL, Texas

DALLAS, Tex, Sept 23.-No
longer does Congressman Jack
Beall bury his face in the heart of
the luscious watermelon
Nay, nay! Forsaking the ways
of Texas, he eats the juicy melon
with a spoon. holding the handle
firmly between the thumb and fore
finger of his right hand.
But this fact will not prevent
Beall's reelection. He has been re-
nominated and there is practically
no opposition.
His method of eating watermelon
was only discovered the other day,
but instead of losing him popular
favor, it seems to have had an OPP
pOsite effect.
Texas apparently recognizes his
absolute fearlessness, for, it is ar
gued, anyone possessing a mite less
than that quality would hesitate be-
fore eating watermelon with a
spoon in Texas.

WHAT WINS WARS?

1t Is quite possible that
when we have a true history
of the war based on Japa-
nese sources of information,
our pride may receive an
other blow. We already
know that in many cases we
outnumbered the enemy.
The explanation is very
simple. The Japanese were
inferior to us materially, but
they were stronger than we
morally. TO this aspect of
the struggle we should give
particular attention. because
military history shows that.
In all wars, the antagonist
who is strongest morally
wins the victory. The only
exceptions are such contests
as that between the English
and the Beers in South
Africa and that between the
north and the south in
America. The English were
weaker than the Beers NOR
ally, but they put into the
field an overwhelming force.
and, in spite of many de-
feats, they finally conquered.
In the American war the
army of the south was in
the same position that the
Boer army was, and the
northerners had 20 put a
superior force into the field
in order to overcome 1t.

BY GEN. ALExEl kUROPATkiN.
In times past, when wars were
carried on by small standing
armies, defeats did not affect the
every day interests of the whole ma
ton so profoundly as they affect
them now, when the obligation to
render military service is general,
and dwhen, in time of war, most of
our soldiers are drawn from the
great body of the people. If war
is to be successful in these days it
must be carried on, not by an army,
but by an armed nation.
When the national pride has been
Inundated by failure in war, at
tempts are usually made to ascer-
tain what brought about the failure
and who was responsible for it. |
SHALL however, seek rather to fur
nish material that will prevent such
defeats hereafter. The army that
Russia put into the field in 19045
was unable, in the time allowed, to
conquer the Japanese; and yet
Japan, only short time before the
war began, had no regular army
and was regarded by us as second
class power. How was she able to
win complete victory over Russia
at sea, and to defeat a powerful
Russian army on land? | shall con-
fine myself to an enumeration of
the most broad and general reasons
for Japanese success. Among the
the following: We did not fully APP
preciate the material and moral
strength of Japan and did not re-
gard conflict with her seriously
enough. General Kuropatkin
makes frequent use of the express
sion "moral strength or moral
character" and often employees the
English word moral instead of
the corresponding Russian word.
He evidently intends that the adiec-
tive shall be understood in its
broadcast significance, as term
covering patriotism, the sense of
duty. capacity for self sacrifice and
all the qualities that go to make up
character as distinct from mere In
tellectual ability.--Ed.,
The recent contest in Manchurfa
was popular war for the Japa-
nese, but not for us. The Korean
question and the question of naval
supremacy was clearly understood
and fully appreciated by the Japa-
nese people. Japan spent 10 years
in preparing for war and then the
whole nation carried 1t on. Japa-
nese soldiers fought with self sac
rificing devotion and stubborn
ness that we had never seen in any
war. Sometimes in villages that we
had taken by assault, handful of
Japanese soldiers would barricade
themselves in native houses and
die rather than retreat or surren-
der. Japanese officers who fell into
our hands--even wounded officers
generally committed suicide.
