Japan. UNIQUE Population.

There has never before been q nde
ton at once so numerous and so homos
geneous as the Japanese, says a writer
in Scribner's. Their population is e.
timated at somewhere between 60,000s
600 and 75,0O0,0O0. Their territory
hardly so extensive as was controlled
by our Revolutionary colonies, COM
tains from half to three-quarters al
many people as inhabit the whole
United States. This population, too
Is remarkably uniform. Those who
know Japan best agree that, IL we exs
cept the negligible a~borigines Of some
northern provinces, you can hardly
find among the japanese any diffets
ence much more pronounced than
those which might distinguish New
Hampshire from Connecticut. Compare
this with our own country, or with
the widely various races and language6
Of China or Of India, or with FINLAND,
Scotland and Wales, end yva -
that the patriotism of Japan has q
sanction its intensity a populations
that is unique in human record.

German equipment, helmets and nu-
merous other things which they left
