It can safely be assumed that in courage, pnil disciplineecal r, trainingand eandrself-d and vo- ;tton the enli&ted men of the two eon- . lose- fleeting fleets are equal. Nor can there be any great difference be- tween the officers, as they are, in tbe main, .highly educated, scienti i- cally trained in the art of war and uses to the sea. Japan has had one great experience in modern sew wan, but this may have its bad side, as it has tended to exalt the over- weening and possibly overreaching self -appreciation and sureness of results that havo of late been so conspicuous among this people. The two nations, even when the semi - Oriental side of Russian character enters, are, however, radteally dif- ferent in temperament. It is doubt- ful, there"ore, viewing all the possi- bilities, if any other two nations would wage war more persistently and more bitterly.
