In order to obtain peace, ordiny battles followed by ordinary victories and ordinary resnits will only lead to a useless prolongation of the struggle. Numbers only can annihilate, and the rest of the great battles of Lianyang and the Shaho must long ago have impressed this maxim in a very forcible manner upon Yamagata and his assistants in Japan.

But just as two months ago, there were certain circumstaurea which led us to believe that neither side would advice for some time to come, so now thore are certain other circum- stances which are worth consideration.
