"Japan is fully equipped and ready for immediate action." Truly weaning of this must be that Japan is prepared to land troops at once. It has been argued before that Japan is not likely to commence opera tions before the spring; but if the Kokumin is correct, the contrary seems to be the case. On the Russian side, too, there is a change of plans announced. It is only a few days | since we were told that the Russian squadron now at Bizerta, on the Northern count of Tuis, would not leave for the Far West ustil the end of January.

So important a movement cannot be passed over without challenge, if war is to come, If Japan does recide ou jamediate action, as suggested by the Kukumin, it is most unlikely that this new Russian squadron will be allowed to join an effort to the Pacific fleet without
