JAPAN'S GRANDEST OLD MAN

There Is only one Okuma In
Japan or in the world. He is a posi-.
lively unique character. As far as
years go he is called an old man and
should long ago have been Oslerized
But he is really only seventy-six
years young and has declared that he
expects to live so or so years longer.
And In spirit he is certainly still
young man.
He has never been called one OF
the "elder statesmen" but he de-
served the appellation as much as
they did. He was prominent in pub
lie service before any one of them;
but he was sidetracked into private
life because he dared to differ with
the policies of others who later rose
into prominence and he has been
kept in the background because he
was considered too liberal. even too
radical. He has survived all except
three or four Of his old colleagues
and rivals.
Okuma's career has been a long

ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN
WAR SITUATION.

Honors Of the week belong to Ger

have practically driven the French
out Of Lorraine.

conducted behind the censor's curtain,

the allies may have been handled. But
indications point to consistent &c.

German advance, within prearranged
lines. Since the AngIo.French. Belgian
plan Of campaign did not contemplate
the retention Of Brussels, Germanys
victory cannot fairly be called the al.

The French spent part Of the week
developing an imposing encirclins
movement in Lorraine. trying to drive
the Germans back toward Strassburg.
This was an offensive movement
containing possibilities Of much dan.
ger, because Of the enormously strong
German Notifications in the area Of
operations. French troops gained
half dozen towns after several days
fighting, but the Germans suddenly
took the offensive themselves and the
French quickly retreated across the
boundary, gaining nothing by their
work.
In Southern AIsace, the military op.
erations cannot be satisfactory to the
French general staff, since the COM
mander Of the operations about Null,
