Entering the Imperial diplomatic serv­ ice In 1876, after a thorough educa­ tion at the Japanese capital, be was appointed attache to the Japaaese le­ gation In Washington, becoming sec­ retary o f that legation In 1881. Tw o years later he was appointed secre­ tary of the Foreign office. I-ater, he held a number o f Important posts, In­ cluding those of charge d’affaires In Corea (1885), consul general at New York 11891), minister resident to H ol­ land (1892), minister to Italy (1894). minister to Austria (18961, vice minis­ ter for foreign affairs (1899) aud vice minister to the United States (1900). The Japanese minister Is a man of middle age, of a strong, well-built frame, but broken somewhat from his experience of last winter, when he was operated on for appendicitis. Tact­ ful and diplomatic, a dignified diplo­ mat through and through, Mr. Taka­ hlra has creditably represented Jap­ anese Interests throughout the preset Jr difficult period o f the war. He has only courageous expressions o f appre­ ciation for the admirable qualities of the Russian peeple, whom he under­ stands thoroughly. He does not look for peace In the near future, but aays that Japan Is quite ready and pre­ pared to continue the conflict as long as may be necessary. As to the pos­ sibility whieli has" been suggested of a Russo-Japanese alliance after peace has been concluded. Mr. Takahlra de­ clares this can never be. The Japan­ ese people, he points out, hare been educated, politically, along Anglo-Sax­ on lines, and It would be very difficult to change this national bent. A FYs.n- co-Russlan alliance might be possible, bat • Russo-Jspsnese alliance never. /i Clip this out, return to us with the names and addresses of yourself and two of your friends, and the date when you will probably enter a business college, and we will credit you with $5.00 on our $65.00 scholarship.
