Tbe lack of the power ol eelf oontrol
n biied by a guod Dumber of people
a Japan, by their tmtoui conduct on
receipt of tbe new tbat a treaty had
beeu algued by tbe accredited nipl-
mate of Japan aud Ku-.eia, because
tbe term ol p'Joa did not luit them,
wilt coal th people io tbat eouotry
muob more than iu tbeir haute tbty
comprehended. The cot will cot be
directly iu cath, but ia lot of repute
Up lo the unfortunate lioton acta
referred lo, perbapino teople on earth
tood bigbur in theistimation of man
kind for palrnlifm, gulf control and
practical wndom tha.ii the Japaueae.

and then to thu aurpriee ol all, eo con
ducting Its naval aud land lotoee aa to
be tbe acknowledged viotora.
Tbe western p o le thought at tbe
eiinmencenient cl ihe war, the Jap
anese were novice in modern war-
sbip and in tbe handling thereof, but
al ita close tbey !taroJ their mistake,
lor uo wart hips in modern or ancient
timet were ever handled better than
the little biown men hand I'd and
fought their ships.
History cannot cite another instance
in any war, where so laige an army aa
Japan raised, equipped, armod, pro
vided for and drilled, waa carried ovir
teas to a foreigu land and posted in
front ol tqualiy large land forces ol
tbe enemy with suob a oomplete cut-
lit in eaob and every detail, for arms,
ammunitions, olotrnnR, food, camp
iquipmenis, liospital appliance aud
tranaportalion, as the Japanese armies
hail in Manchuria. Hiudent of the
art of war, wheu they came to the
obapter On Logistics, ' that branch of
tbe military art embracing a detail for
moving an supplying arioiea" can uo
where find a better or ratler as good
an example to study a the way Japan
moved and fed her army in Manchuria.
In a large number of the bttilia
ihat Caesar, A hi antler the Great, Na
poleon, Washington, Scott, Taylor,
Jacksoo, McLeltn aud Client fought,
tie meu were ragged and hungry.

hat with proper foresight aud atieu-
tioo io detaile, armiee can be moved
and aotive campaigns carried ou witb-
iut lbs at. Idlers suffering for IikkI and

Had the people of Japan retained
tLeir irdiuary good sense, sell cjnlrol
ou receipt ol the news of the treaty,
ibe world oouid tee no 11 iw iu tbe
cbaraoler and aptitude ta prevent it
run taking and maintaiuitg a lof'.y

earth, a position no fickle and spas
