A BIT OF INSIDE HISTORY.
IT Has to Do With the War Between
Russia and Japan.

1t Has to Do With the War Between
Russia and Japan.
In Aubrey Stanhope's book OF recol-
iections as special correspondent,
ION the Track of the Great" be tells
curious story relating to the war
between Russia and Japan and helps
Us TO understand the value of diplo-
matte assurances and the sources from
which contemporary history is writ
ten:
Il remember once, being at that time
correspondent in Petersburg and being
on very friendly terms with Marquis
Nishi the Japanese minister, and one
day after | had communicated to that
diplomat some news of special inter
est to his country, he said i know
can trust you TO keep silent In eight
years time Japan will make war upon
Russia.
MY astonishment was immense
What. | said. Japan make war on
Russiar
Yes, he replied, inevitably. And
you will see that when 1t takes place
Russia will be found utterly unpre-
pared.
Eight years later was again In
Petersburg This time the japanese
minister was M Kurino. There is go
ing TO be no war be assured me-
There is going to be war, your ex
cellency.'
IN. Kurino gave a quick, sharp look
He had just returned from the foreign
office, where he had assured Count
Lamsdorff that Japan had no warlike
intentions.
"'What makes you say that?
"'Because Marquis Nishi told me
eight years ago that Japan would make
war on Russia in eight years time.
LIT was told you In confidence
Keep it as SUCH he replied
"At that moment Marquis Nishi was
In Tokyo and formed part of the min
istry which was organizing the details
of the sudden attack upon Russia
which occurred few days later.
And. as Nishi had said, Japan found
Russia quite unprepared"
