WAR CORRESPONDENTS IN JAPAN.
THE NEW ARRIVALS.
As recorded in a recent issue, the Siberia brought to Japan several war correspondents who have been attracted to the Far East by the prospect of war. The following interesting details were given by the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of 14th January --
War in the Far East seems near at hand, if the presence in port of half-a-dozen well-known war correspondents connected with the leading journals of Europe and the United States counts for anything. The Siberia was even held at San Francisco to await two war corres- pondents, who were inte in crossing the con- tinent.
Prominent among these scouts of the press is Jack London, the novelist, who will represent the Hearst papers in the impending Japanese- Russian war. London is well-known in the world of letters, and is the author of The Gal of the Wi'd, one of the most noteworthy books of the past year. It is only about four year ago that be startled the literary world with his strong short stories of the Arctic. These he bas followed with a number of books, mostly about life in the Far North. I ondan is only 28 years old. Since he was nine years o'd he | has had to care his living, and his boyhood was filled with adventure as a sailor in a long voyage to th: Siberian islands. He is a San Franciscan, but he has rubbed shoulders with many peoples, and he has es en lived for months as a tramp. He spent a year at the State University of California and evidently there learned to write as few college graduates ever hape to write. What makes him a pover is his untrammelled human nature. His books are strong meat but they del ght people with red blood in their veins.

PUBLIC AUCTION.
One of the most, noted correspondents in the group, and one who has probably seen more stirring service in the interest of journalism, is Captain Lion-i James, who, with Mr. D. S Fraser, represents the London Times. fict, Capiain James is the chief of the Times Alaff, and has the choice of assignments He is a typical Briten, and a most pleasant companion. Captain James hopes to ente upon his ninth e mpaign of war. In his long experience as correspondent he served on the Hindostance-Indo frontier at Wag.ristan, and Manipur, and later with the famous column of Highlanders which went to the relief of the fort at Chitral Pass, one of the most inaccessible passes on the frontier. The relief of the fost is one of the historical events of the last decade and the men who survived the campaign were honoured by their government. The corres pondent was also a Malakand Tirah, and Mohmund. When Kitchener made-t-is secord campaign in the Soudan, James represented the Times in the stirring pursuit of the Dering Registrar, vishes. When the Boer War broke out Captain James was in Ladysmith during the siege, and served continuously at the front until the end of the war. On his return he was sent to the United States in write up the United States army, visiting West Point, Fort Myer, Fort Riley, and other post. He thought well of what he saw. "Your American anny officers are the finest fellows in the world-very enter- thining." said the c ptain last night. He was then assigned to the Balkans remaining thre for several months, accompanying Col, Yinkoff of the Bulgarian Army along the Balkan fron- tier. He did not meet Sarafoff.
Mr. D. S. Fraser was paymaster of Lumaden's Horse in South Africa and was badly wounded in the knee at Karree siding He was captured and taken as prisoner to Pretoria, temaining there several wecke.
O. K. Davies, for the New York Herald is
a well-known American rorrespondert, and saw considemble service in the Philippires and China. He has written a number of entertain- ing stories of Philippina life for magazines.
All the correspondents express themselves of the opinion that the probabilities for war in the Far East are assuring, else they believe they would not have been sent. In fact James was recalled suddenly from the Balkans, and spent only one day in London, en route to San Fran- cisco to take the Siberia.--Nagasaki Press.
