SEAF'ORTH, FRIDAY, MARCH 25,
ABOUT JAPAN.
WHAT A CANADIAN SAYS.
Kobe. Japan, Feb. 22, 1904.
Even to the last, before the actu-
al outbreak of laostilities, it was
the hope of well informed men liv-
ing in this country that war might
yet be averted. It was well known,
of course, that Japan was actively
preparing for any emergency, but
it was believed that her prepara-
tions were made rather with a view
to their moral effect in hastening
negotiations with Russia, than with
a view to actual conflict. Now
practically every merchant man of
the great commercialfleets of the.
Nippon Yusen Kasha and the Osaka.
Thosen Kaisba is withdrawn from
service for use in the transport of
troops to Corea. On the railways
many of the passenger trains are
changed into transport trains, and
practically all the freight trains are
in the service of th& commissiar-
iat department. The and forces of
Japan number upwarde of 450,000 of-
ficers and men, aire the greater
part of these forces ,will be used.
The reserves are no* called out,
so that it is even becoming •diffi-
cult to get some kinds of service
performed in a counry where or-
dinarily servants are abundant.
Certainly Japan enters upon this
war with every possible preparation
made long in. advance. She has large
accumimulations of ammunition,
stores and provisions of whose ex-
istence the world at lerge is gener-
ally ignorant. The equipment of her
soldiers is excellent, and their ord-
er and discipline are not •a whit in-
ferior to those of the most advanc-
ed nations of the worbzi. It. was the
privilege of the writer, as an in-
vited gue,st, to witness some of the
manoeuvres of the Japanese troops
at Himeji, in November last. He was
surprised at the size of some of the
men whom he saw there, and was
informed that the iJapanese were
'training from childhood in gymnas-
tic and exercises men who were to
help to raise the physical standard
of the nation. -Military experts al-
so said that the precision of move-
ment of the Japanese army was
equal to that of the German.
The _Greatest Asset.
But the great asset of the nation
in her soldiers is their 'unbounded de-
votion to her service. -'The Japanese
people believe that this war is a
war of national eiistance, and Jap-
anese soldiers express their purpose
of winning victory or dying upon the
field of battle. Christendom may be
assured that Japan will never yield
in this struggle. She will be crushed
or she will conquer.
It is hard for the outside world to
get mach definite information upon
the progress of events from the Jap-
anese, standpoint, because of the
strict censorship which is now ex-
ercised over the press in this coun-
try. Every item must be approved
by the public icemsor before it can be
publieteed ittl either the Engliela or

thougb this is contrary to the
law.
Nevertheless the foreigners living
in the east almost all sympathize
with Japan, Subscription lists have
heen opened in every port, and large
sums received on behalf of the fam-
ilies of tbe reservists and tbe wid-
ows and orphans of the fallen.
Business Under Difficulties.
It is to be hoped that the war will
not be a long one. Trade of course,
is largely disorganized. Many of the
foreign businesS houses have tem-
porarily reduced their staffs of em-
ployees, and most are doing business
without profit. Sometimes the banto,
or native agent, of the foreign &ease
is called, to war; sometimes the for-
eign ladies' cook, and mien tbe native
Christian minister, is summoned to
take up arms for his country.
So far as the proportion of the
foreign families here is concerned,
,they are perfectly safe. The only
danger that could possibly arise
would be in ease of a reverse for
Japan, when some of the half tamed
and irresponsible coolies, whose idea
of 'love to country means hatred- of
the foreigner, might try to take re-
venge upon even those who weee
friendly to his side. This bas hap-
pened in the history of this country
in the past; but it is not likely to
occur • in the future. Time has
changed the feeling of the people,
and the alliance with Great Britain
has given Japan a new confidence in
the sincerity of western nations. In
any case the, police here are most
efficient and active en the protec-
tion of all those of foreign national-
ities, even the Russians, who are now
living in the country,
