Tolstoi emphatically repudiated the sugges tion that the victory of the Japanese would be detrimental to civilisation. Up to the present Japan might only have imitated the mistake of the West, but Japan, like every other country, had its process of evolution.
"At present," said Tolstoi, "Japan seems to me very much in the same state of evolution as was Russia under Catherine 11. But the

**True, the Japanese are a yellow race. But what of that? Our knowledge of the yellow races is very imperfect. Does anyone under- stand the conscience of the yellow man? At all events, the Chinese despise war, and those .who make it. Therein at least, they show their superiority over us. 1 understand, 100, that they know how to keep their word.

So if the enemy had been brave enough to take an offen- sive attitude we would have sustained more loss. but they took refuge inside the port without taking brave measures against the Japanese and allowed the Japanese to be successful. As to the blocking operations, some people are in. clined to censure the authorities, saying that the authorities are desirous of securing fame at the risk of many lives. It may look so to the men ignorant of naval strategy The mouth of Port Arthur is not broad and the Russian sank two steamers there, after they had prepared

An officer gave him some old clothes and showed him to a dark cabin. Here he was supplied with boiled rice, but it smelt badly and the coolie could not eat it. After a time the ship appeared to be moving and Muto guessed it was going in a northerly direction. An elderly officer came and examined his body, after which he left without saying a word.

It was suggested to Tolstoi that the fact that the destiny of Russia was at stake in the war might have caused him, as a Russian, to modify the ideas he has preached all his life.
"I ask myself,” said the Count," what is my real duty, and I feel that the cause of Humanity is the supreme cause. My con- science convinces me that murder, how- ever effected, however disguised, is execrable ; that war is a monstrous scourge.
If there were any notion of what is a Christian's duty in the conscience of man, it wou'd be absolutely impossible for them to shoot down
their fellows."
The correspondent describes Tolstoi as having spoken with intense emotion and at one moment there were tears in his eyes.
