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 Thosen Kaisba is withdrawn from service for use in the transport of troops to Corea.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 yernonlar imbeepapere, 010 to e4 tajik Pkihe.cie i ere §nppre.5§ rnaeh 04, ni4ght rea§onahly an.4 rofiratly giVen 14tiee peen*, mover,•every foreign tekgrani, offjei09ftifivitte, :la tte sek, §orginii, &very nierehiant whoop& 004f meow to eorfelvoliciefit gew lorit- ifamhtirg mot mid ttan§lationi Mother -with the eode book/ to the teiettteiph effiee, aleeig with the telegftuoi tiferi let= tets ate aernetiines opeted ty,s, 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, Rev. Edward A.
