JAPAN'S NAVY,
A Child of the British Fleet. / At the present momont interest centres in the Navy of Japan. She has built a complete fleet since her struggle with China only nine years ago, and greatly improved her organisation, which was then geod. All the armoured ships, except the Yakumo and Adzumo, were built in England, and many of the other ships are also of English origin. In fact, the Japanese Fleet has been large. ly moulded on the British model by British officers. It is the child of Great Britain. When the people first awoke to the mean- ing of sex-power, they realised that they were situated in the Far East much an Great Britain is in the Far West; that both countries must make their fleets their first line of defence. As far back as the seven- ties the British Admiralty was approached, with the result that a mission was sont out from England to lay the foundation of the naval organisation on which Japan has built, Viee-Admiral Sir Archibald (then Com. mander) Douglas and a number of other officers of the British Navy had a hand in this early work, and sa recently as 1803- Admiral John Ingles was accredited to the Japaness Government as naval adviser; and latterly Captain E. T. C. Troubridge, R.N., has been attached to the British Legation at Tokio, and has no doubt given advice and assistance, These youngest children of civilisation chose the British Navy as their model, because they had faith in it, and in order that their future officers might see how English ships were managed a number of cadets were sent to sea in British- men-of-war, and studied in the naval es tablishments of this country. Nothing that could be done to give the officers of the Japanese fleet an inside knowledge of British methods was omitted, and even to- day two Japanese officers are serving in British mon-of-war, one in the Mars and the other in the Royal Sovereign.

During these years, when an experienced staff was laying the foundation of an organisation in Japan, and Japanese officers were afloat in British ships, a truer conception of these small but intelligent people was obtained. Subsequent ex- perience las fally confirmed the high opinion formed in these early years. The officers are quick, good disciplinarians, and keenly devoted to the scientific side of warfare, including gunnery and the t torpedo. The Japanese have always had a love of the sea, and this is reflected on board the modern fleet as surely as in the old days of quaint sailing ships. The men, like their officers, have shown courage, powers of endurance, and a high order of intelligence. Throughout the war with China, all the crews behaved admirably. The world rang with their prowoss, and no doubt in any conflict in the future they will achieve yot greater distinction.
Such is the fleet which Japan has at her command, almost all its more important units having been built since her struggle with China, and paid for largely out of the indemnity she then received. It will be seen that the country possesses twelve first- olass modern armoured ships, six being battleships, and six large cruisers—in fact, battleships in disguise. Ten of these men. of-war were constructed in England, and only two abroad-one in Germany and the other in Franco. In torpede eraft Japan bas a great numerical superiority over all the Powers represented in the Far East, and along the much-indented consts of Korea, as well us in the protection of her own territory, she has ample scope for successful operations.
•
Probably no British officer has studied
and with auch care, the Japanese fleet for so many years, as Vice-Admiral Penrose Fitzgerald. He was with Lord
Elgin in 1858 when the British Envoy presented the Shogun, the ruler at that time, with the first steam vessel possessed by Japan, a small yacht called the Empress · which was a personal present from Queen Victoris. Admiral Fitzgerald also visited the country in later years—he was there in
1899-and his opinion of the personnel of the fleet has a peculiar interest, since it expresses the views of one who knows what efficient crews should be. First, referring to the war with China:

Admiral Fitzgerald states:
'The first thing that strikes one is the im- mense carnestness of officers and men, a determination to excel, regardless of trouble and in spite of occasional mishaps. There is no shillyshallying, no dilatoriness, what- ever they do they seem to do with all their hearts and as if they liked it. The pay of both officers and men is very small com. pared with that of other nations, but they appear to be thoroughly well-contented.'
Japan has built up her navy with the assistance of Great Britain, but to-day she stands alone. Before the war with China the fleet was regarded with some distrust by the majority of the people, but the prowess which officers and men then displayed raised enthusiasm for the feet to a high point. The impatience which has been shown in Japan during the long-delayed negotiations is largely tho outcome of this now pride in the navy; everyone in Japan believes that, oven against so great a power as Russia, officers and mon will be able to give a goud account of themselves. The training of the younger officers, in particular, in their warlike duties has been of the most thorough kind; they live for the navy, and all other inter far away in the background. ests Bre These products of the newest system of training feel that they have at their head officers who, if they are not of their own high scientific standing, are experienced in the actual conditions of warfare, are no mean strategists and tacticians, and have had ample opportunities for handling groat Heuts.
