·ONE REASON FOR THE JAPA-

NESE SUCCESSES,

An important reason why the Japanese plaus of campaign have been carried out with almost mathematical precision, whilst those of the Russians have apparently been badly arranged, is that the Japanese have taken the trouble to acquire the common medium-the Chinese lan guage-for the obtaining of information. The lesson is a most seridusone to the British nation which treats with proverbial contearpt all other modern languages than its own.

JOINT STOCK SHARES.

Messrs. Vernon & Sinyth say in their wookly share report, dated Hongkong, 14th October, 1904.-Business in Indo-Chinas and China Sagars has been somewhat quieter during the past wook, but otherwise a fair general enquiry has been met with, and, a moderate volume of business transacted, mostly at gradually im proving rates.

whe could speak pidgin Russian constructors engaged a number of the Chinese and who, for various motives, had settled in Russian territory. These, is a rule, were au utterly unprincipled set, who, as all natives do, formod cliques or sacret guilds, which made it almost impossible for any but their own kith and kin to become interpretare. The primary cou- sequence was that there were continuoss and hittor complaints from the common people that they were always being unmercifully cheated by those, as they regarded them, traitors to their country, who, however, were rarely loyal to their employers. Thus, whilst the Russians spent, for the same purposes, far money than the English ongineers on the Imperial Chinese lines, the former aro hated, whilst the latter, owing largely to their more to their careful attention to the direct disbursement of funds, are greatly respected. If these English milway constructors would only learn to speak our language," say the our relations with them would be perfect." The fow Russians who can speak Chinese are always much sought after.

The Chinese language, according to Stents valuable vocabulary and that great work, Giles's Dictionary, is, written in Romanized letters, only 408 words, with many to the non-native other modulatious of the voice. It is therefore, ear almost imperceptible temes, breathings, and simply impossible to write anything but com mon, everyday matters, of which the meaning can be understood from the context, in any other form than that of the Chinese ideographs, of which many thousands are in common use, each with a definite meaning. Thus, all official documents in the diplomatic departments in Peking are most carefully writion in Chinese ideographs, and the British Consular service owes much of its power to the fact that all of its members are Chinose scholars

To write Chinese with Roman letters is bad enough, but with the Slavonic it is confusion itself. One porson will write a name one way, and another, with a slightly different ear, will write the same word with other letters; and unless one's tongue is already accustomed to pronouncing Chinese, no other parson will reproduce then so as to he really understood by any native, nuless, perhaps, his own servant. The Russians, therefore, hare held' o tonaciously to their evil genius, the low class native interpreter, as to the lesser of two ovila. Never quite certain of the names of localities, rivers, &e.. unless very well known, they have or even as to the descriptions of places, kills, been constantly in difficulties. Add to, these that, with rare exceptions, the natives wonk enjoy deliberately misleading the Russians while their regular interpreters would not hesitate to play thêm false, and it is easy to san ut what disadvantage they have been placed. The astute native rillerer, under the guise of dens stupidity, will must cleverly find out the intentions of the "Maotza" or "hairy_rebel;" as the Russian is termed, especially by his own native employ's, and most willingly and the knowlelgo on to the Japanese. -

Again, the ordinary Russian soldier, having but a very poor education, cannot compare for intelligence work with the Japanese private, school and learnt to read and write the Chinese who has in most cases been to an up-to-date characters, and can thus find out definitely and correctly every item of information he may require. He, as the natives would not purposely mislead him, is in no doubt as to the exact distances or the names of the smallest places.
