TO CHRISTEN THE ST. LOUIS.
Washington, Nov. 8. President Cleve

Thurber are expected to be In the party.
Chinese prisoners of war have begun
to arrive In Japan. They are distln.
gutshed by dirt and dejection. The
Japanese crowds laugh at them as they
pass, but make no demonstrations of 1
rancor. The wounded are tended wltli
the utmost kindness and care, and the
treatment of them as a whole is hu
mane. This record presents a striking
contrast to the bolllgerant methods of
the Chinese themselves. They make
no prisoners. From the killed and the
ivoundcd alike they lop off the heads.
and make bunches of the latter by
passing strings througn the mouths
and gulletB, as a fisherman does with
a meBs of trout. Field Marshal Yama
gata, who commands the Japanese ar
my in Corea, has warned his men In a
general order not to become prisoner
of the Chinese. At the same time he
has exhorted them to remember the
canons of civilization and treat the
enemy's wounded and captives as they
would treat companions. Both lnjiinc.
tions are obeyed.
The diet met In special session at
Hiroshima September 15, and the em
peror officially opened it the 18th. The
appropriations that the diet were ask

an immense sum for Japan, neurly
the doublt of her annual state revenue.
But the diet swallowed the big mouth
ful without a wink. Not a word of
debate was heard, not a dlusentln
olee was raised. The .150,000,000 were
voted amid cheers unprecedented In

are in the struggle, Japan cannot put
up hundreds of millions for warlike
purposes without more or less checking
her Industrial expansion. But she Is
'jolng to do her fighting without aid
of any kind from abroad. The sums
ilrendy spent by her upon the conduct
f the war total 26,000,000 yen In round
numuers. Hence, out of the 160,000,000
voted by the diet there remain to her
125,000,000. That is expected to last a
year at any rate. But the war will
not last a year,
