Under ths tofluense of Japan, masaifled
by the prestige which Japan, has so
qulred la this war, K may reasonably be
hosed that China will throw off the
lethargy ad asnturtaa and become a liv
ing nation, And the indefatigable la
dustry and sharp wrta of her 400,000.
000 of Inhabitants will aooa amke hot
the greatest nation sn earth it ah aaa
hold herself together and free herself
from corrupt and despotic aovertuoent
objects which the Jags assa will, wa
think, help her te scoters. A- H ,?
Wast ta ths mssamg of tt allf It
means that as ft rasa the Japanese ere
possessed of great qualities sad that
they have been devoting themselves for
a good many years te ths development
of these great qualities, it means that
they realise more clearly than, any other
nation that te do great things one must
be great, and that true greatness does
net eonslst la self seeking but ta self
consecration. Aa a nation they hare
consecrated thsmsslvcs to the servion
of their emperor snd eountry, and ao
sacrifice seems great to them If only It
oaa be of some eervloe.
That la ths explanation which somes
to ua from various sou rose, snd it hi
confirmed bp the enthualastlo way la
whloh Japanese soldiers - threw away
their lives la battle; not recklessly or
foolishly, but without hesitation at th
call of duty,
All th world owes a deep debt of
gratitude to Japan for preventing an im
mense Increase of the power of ana of
the moat powerful, moat barbarous, snd
moat hideous despotisms the world has
rev known. '
