upon America as It's great and good
friend. and that 1t was the hope OF the
government that the relations of the
two countries would always be friend
ly. lie said that any war between
Japan and the United States would IN =
volve the whole world, and what the
world needed was peace rather than

acters beautifully written in the hand
of His EXcellency on a wide strip or

1t was sentiments like that that
caused Katsura to lose his job The
mob went against him. and they ter
rorized the Emperor to such an extent
that he asked Katsura 10 resign. Kat
sura did so. and tried to organize n

than war. He found however. that
this war spirit and this socialistic elo-
mcnt were stronger than he, and il
was for this reason that ne withdrew
from public life. He remained in Sc
clusion until his death a few weeks
ago.
II was ut this same time that I met
Prince famagata. the great general
and statesman. He was to Japan what
Grant was to the United States. He
was the organizer of the Japanese
army. and II was his military ability
that did much TO make il ono of the
greatest fighting machines OF modern
times. Yamagata deprecated the mill
tary spirit which WAS growing in
Japan. said he:
I'VE do not want 10 be considered n

tinue our national lire along lines OF
peace, not war. Our military estab-
lishment has been created for defense
and not for conquest, and we hope tina,
