Ships Impressed Natives
As Being Supernatural.
1t was in January. 1854 that Com
modore Perry sailed from Hong
Kong on his second trip to the Bay
OF Yeddo. with nine vessels anchor
ing before Yokohama. The natives
were said to have gazed in amaze
ment at what they believed was
some supernatural power as the
steamers Mississippi, Susquehanna
and Powhatan sailed into the Bay OF
Yeddo with no visible sails.
The countries Of Europe, before
Perry visited Japan. repeatedly had
sought relations with the Flowery
Kingdom, and it has been claimed
that q Russian named Rezanof1. an
admiral in the Russian Navy, called
at a japanese port 40 years before
Perry, or about 1872. 1t appears.
however, that Rezanoff did not tar
ry. Perry made friends with the
natives, and the years which have
passed since that first visit have
been largely years Of friendship.
In time Of flood and earthquake 1t
has been Americas Red Cross that
hastened to the relief of the suf-
fering people.
The first treaty. signed in 1856.
between Japan and the United
States was burned in the great
fire at Yeddo in 1858. In 1860 the
first japanese mission came to
Washington to obtain the signature
OF President Fillmore. Since that
first mission, with all the colorful
trappings of Oriental grandeur,
Japan has made great strides In
adopting the customs, habits and
dress of Western civilization, and
instead of the gorgeous robes Of the
visitors of that first mission Mr..
Kurusu visits the Department OF
State in cutaway, spats and topper.
He married an American, Miss Alice

Now it's dawning on the strate-
gists what the difference Is.
Russia's Finnish campaign neces-
sarily was an offensive campaign.
In its very nature 1t required the
Slavs to win go-ahead fights; not
retreats.
The muss with the Nazis, on the
other hand, is defensive-defend
awhile and fall back; extend the
enemy until his lines are attenu-
ated and then pinch him OF at his
outermost end. -
That's what democratic strategy
has concluded that Russia's doing
and that Russia's generals today
are as slick at 1t as General Kuro-
patkin was. The democracies don't
care IL the Nazis do get to Mos
COW, Leningrad and Kiev. The
closer they get to them, the worse
they'll be involved.
Nobody believes a word Of re-
ports from either side, but the pro-
longation Of the ruckus Is suffici-
entity convincing. It's evident that
the Soviet troops are retreating
successfully. All the democracies
want Is to have them keep It up,

Science, II Is quite true, has
learned to measure these mathe-

We measure food and exercise by
the heat-energy-unit, the calorie.
Sunlight and air and sleep can be

same.
Galleries and Sports
II being the glorious summer
time and the favored time for ex-
ercise, 1t is rather interesting to
know how many Galleries you use
up in each sport
A calorie is a certain amount Of
heat energy. A physically active
woman uses about 2,400 Galleries q
day; a physically inactive woman
about 1000. At an average meal
you get about 800 Galleries. About
/ 200 Of your daily caloric expen--
diture goes to maintain your body
heat. About 300 for ordinary ac-
tivity, including exercise.
Different sports have different
expenditures. It Is astonishing
that muscle tension takes up so
many calories. Thus skiing going
downhill, which is just keeping
your muscles tense, takes ~ cal
cries per pound per hour, as COM
pared with horseback riding,
which takes 10 to 10. According
to DR.. William Engel, In his book
Sensible Dieting A. A. Knopf,
publisher, we use less energy

swimming 80 yards uses up
about 8 to z ealories, depending on

OF the map. One day along would
come the news that the islanders
had scored a tremendous victory,
had a whole army Of Russians bot
tied UP tight and were going to an
initiate them shortly.
About "a hours later tdings
would arrive that Kuropatkin had
pulled off a mastery retreat, had
wiggled his entire force out through
the Japs' encirclement and was
fixed to put it into action In some
new place. The Japs would take
after the retreaters, catch up with
them, lick them again, start to ex-
terminate them bodily-and once
more they'd evaporate into another
mastery retreat
This went on, over and over
again, the full length Of quite .
long war.
The Japs finally got the decision,
but it wasn't anything more than
a decision; it wasn't knockout.
President Teddy Roosevelt offered
his services as referee. Tsar Mich
oias II, then still on the job, had
near-revolution In his hands in St
Petersburg (now Leningrad). He
wanted to be able to attend to 1t
In peace, without the distraction Of
Kuropatkin's everlasting retreat
ing in Siberia, and consequently
accepted Teddy's offer.
Japs WIN Peace
The result was a nominal finding
In the Japs' favor. II Kuropatlin
had been left, though, to retreat
to a finish, the probabilities are
that he'd have retreated the island
ers TO death and defeat.
II was ths same way during
World War L The Slavs ultimate
ly got tired Of retreating and quit,
being, most likely, more interested
In their revolution at home. But
II 1t hadn't been for that. it's q
safe bet they'd have retreated the
kaiser into a considerably earlier
Msht to Holland.
The ideas this:
Individually, the Russians are
good enough scrappers, but they
don't seem to have the right kind
II leadership for q successful Of
tensivs campaign Yet they do
have leadership with q positive
genius at squirming out Of tight
spot And their country's so big
that there always are plenty Of
places for them TO squirm to. In
the process Of squirming, doubt
less they suffer a percentage Of
losses, but they're so numerous
that few casualties don't signify
to them appreciably.
So. when Herr Hitler hoped on
the Bolsheviki, all democratic STRAIT
egy exclaimed, with one voice:
Gosh, we hope those Muscovites
don't fight to the last gasp. If
they do, those super-blitzkrieging
Nazis simply will slaughter them
wholesale, and they won't be any
good to democracy, dead. We
hope they'll retreat and retreat
and retreat, drawing those Heinies
in, engulhng them, closing in be-
hind them, guerilla-izing them,
keeping them swamped indefinite

Fear for Russia
There was a good bit Of demo-
cratic apprehension that the Slavs
wouldn't wage this kind Of a cam
paign. It was an apprehension
based on observation Of the Sta
linist grab at Finland. IF such
