THE INDEMNITY QUESTION

In the Nineteenth Ofury there is an article by Mr O. Fitzbacher on The in- demnity due to Japan. Waiday commend article to those who say, and parently helieve, that Russis will not pay war indemnity. We may firat ndle, hoj ever, the financial losses suffered by Japan (which omits the £30,000,010 just raise Moneys raise by loans and

otherwiso Compensation for cripples, widowa and orphans Compensation to civil popula

tion through mobilish. tion, &o. Weir and tear of war

Total

£116,500,000

30,050,000

15,000,000

20,000,000

£181,5 0,000

This sum appears to be the minimum which Japan may be expected to claim from Russia, provided the war bo Immediately brought to a close. Gormany topk from France four times more than the actual costs of the war, and, following Germany'a precedent, Japan is perfectly justified if she claims around £200,000,000 from Russia and employs the balance for the peaceful.. development of Japan and especially of Korea.

Russia, Mr Eltzbacher claims, can raise

that sum, and if she will not, well, if she desires to draw the war out, and refuse an indemnity, then Japan can saiza Russian territory. Eastern Siberia is worth con- siderably more than £200,000,000 to Japan or to those to whom Japan might conceiv ably choose to codo that country or certain privileges in that country. Eastern Siberis, we may remember, is not loyally Russian, and it is the wealthiest part of Russia; undor a good Government it would soon becómo populous nud exceedingly pró- sperous,

Prous

Eastern Siberia has perhaps the best

grazing grounds in the world. It possesses

a first-class bluck agricultural soil, it is very rich in minerals, and the richest flaheries in the world. If Russia should think Eastern Siberia not worth £200,000,000, Japan may think it cheap at the price, and she would probably be able to extract $200,000,000 in money from that country within a few years by giving to an English or an American syndicate a few concessions for building railways in Siberia or for exploiting the mineral wealth of the soil. The article is well worth perusal, for we are quite inclin ed to think Russia cannot evade paying an indemnity, unless she is willing to evacuate not only Manchuria but the whole of Eas tern Siberia as well.-L. and C.

From Hsin-min-t'un over 20,000 have been transported, chiefly coulies from the Russian railways and mines, who had been thrown out of employment by the war. After the battle of Liaoyang and Sha- ho many hundreds of wounded Native men, women, and children were received into the hospitals at Liaoyang and Moukdon, while more than 10,000 homeless refugees, mainly women and children, have been sheltered and fed in the hospices of the Society. Some 20,000 wadded garments were distributed by the Society at the beginning of winter, and about 5,000 families, whose houses were not demolished but whoso crops had been destroyed, were being supplied with suf- ficient grain to carry them at least through the winter. In addition to the relief work of this Society, the Tartar General at Mouk- den has been unremitting in his efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of the people, and a bright feature in the genoral gloom has been the cordial way in which the Chinese officials have throughout co-operated with Foreigners in this work of mercy.

ket the wild ginsong from the province of Kirin, in Manchuria, commands the highest price, whether it possesses any superior medicinal qualities over the other varieties or not. Either to root itself is of a suporior variety or it is better cared for in the process of digging and curing, so as to present a better appearance when placed in the market. I am reliably informed, however, that the foreign or American gir- seng is in most places making a way for itsolf as the most practical substitute for the more expensive articlo. Just so long as the Chinese believe in the mystorious qualities of ginseng just so long will it play an important part in their lives, and just so long will they cling to it as the greatest medicino of earth.
