of various kinds are beng used there having been many complaints that their services were not being utilized to the best advantage.
 The reports of the committees on the British Medical service in the war zone state that it is "very effic- tent" In one of the main theaters of war has. there been any lack of high surgical and medical skill. Re- gently there have been complaints about the service in Mesopotamia, but the shortcomings in this district were already being remedied when the complaints came to public at tention.
 Each war center of surgical work is in charge of a leading specialist, who obtains all the assistance that he asks for and can utilize. In France, the wounded soldiers are quickly trated at the front hospitals, and then rushed to England for further attention. The transport and other machinery between the front clearing stations and the great hos pitals in England has been perfected until it works almost automatically.
 Doctors who have enrolled for ser vice at the front have few complaints. There have been several instances, however, in which. physicians with a good practice at home, who have en- listed for patriotic reasons have found that a neighbor in their ab- sence has confiscated their practice One of the objects of the scheme of enrolment is to prevent such injus- tice. One of the objects of the scheme of enrolment is to prevent such injustices by making the stay at-home doctor do his share in car- ing for wounded in the home hos pitals.

now change. Japan should cease to worship at Western shrines.
 For Japan 8 period of new inven- tions and discoveries is dawning. Up to the present we have been all too busy adopting and adapting and imi- tating European civilization until imi- tation has grown to be a habit with
 us; but our world of thought and science is not now so poor that we have nothing to admire and emulate at home.
 "In my opinion the Japanese are as capable of thought and invention as any other people, Germany, whom we have been worshipping so far in this respect, was not the originator of those things for which we adored her. but herself an imitator of England, America, France and Italy, where most of the great inventions and dis coveries took place. It is indeed, great mistake to regard Germany as a great inventive nation"
 "While up to the present Japanese commerce and industry have been un- der the domination of the West, Japan should now make a change and exert herself for worldwide recog- milton. The best time to do this is the present, while Europe is engaged otherwise and the greatest conner cial states are too busy to mOlest us. At present England and France arc too much taken up with the war to take much interest in competition while Germany, which has made the poverty stricken East her unwilling customer, is now surrounded and cut off from maintaining her commerce abroad. The whole trade field of the Orient lies open to Japanese com merce and if she does not seize the opportunity it will be her own fault

We have thus the rarest of chances for unusual developm
 For the sake of national commerce and industry, if for no other reason, the writer considers that Japan must develop her sea power. He added: It is necessary that the nation should see also to the completion of it's preparations for ornamental eX- pansion The whole nation should be drilled and ready to defend the em- pire in time of emergency. The present method of keeping a small number of young men in barracks for long intervals is not only uneconomf- cal but impractical; for those so drilled, to the exclusion of others might all be killed in battle and then no trained soldiers would be left to take their places. What Japan wants is universal military service. The whole nation must be ready to bear arms if need be.
 "The war now raging in Europe proves that men, after a training of few months, fight as bravely and sue cessfully as old soldiers, and the out come now depends more on the num- Der of those who can go to the front than on the amount of drill they have received Thus to confine drill to a small number is a fatal policy for efficiency in national defense.

tcorrespondecce of Inc Associated Press.,
 TokiO, March 21-President Eiki- chi Kamada of Keio university de. clares that Japan has now entered a new era and that the time has come for her to cease worship of the West and to aspire to independence in science, commercial leadership and greater sea and land power.
 Dr. Kamada in the Japan Magazine says: "Henceforth as a nation the empire enters on a new career of un- limited hope and ambition. Japan S goal is now the most important and most significant possible to a peo- pie.
 Up to the present Japan has been kept in the leading strings of Euro pean thought and civilization, lying abject at the feet of German science, sending her young men abroad to ac- quire occidental knowledge before they were thought fit to lead their This state of affairs must

it is unecOnomical. Marrow minded military martinets may scoff at such a suggestion, but practical men will approve of it. The state must be considered before the opinion of clan specialists. The system of military drill used in Japan is an invention Of the time of Napoleon and takes no thought of modern inventions, such as aeroplanes and so on.'
 pr. Kamada concluded: Thus Japan's hopes for the future depend on laying stress on those three ob- jects; scientific development as a busi ness, commercial expansion as @ goal, and sea power as a consequence, with a more modern system of army train ing. Weaker nations must always follow stronger ones."
