WHAT really and truly is going on in Shantung ? The Time say that the Japanese are studying the German activity in Shantung with the same close attention with which they watched the Russians in Manchurin before the war. This we know to be true. It is the Japanese way; and we have noted recently Japanese reports that the doings of Germany in the Shantung province are innocent, or, at any rate, un objectionable in Japanese eyes. Yet Dr. MORRISON travelled through Shantung not long ago, and tells quite another story. Can it be that the Euglielman takes a more

There seems to be an impression at St. Peters- burg that a successful, naval action with Admiral Togo will at once bring the whole mititary edifice of the Japanese to the ground with a crash, and that the Russian army will then have nothing to do but pick up the picosa. Suck an idea seems aangaine. Even if victory is obtained the chances are that what will be left of the Russian navy afterwords will not be worth much; that the remnant will bare no port for repair save Vladivostock; and that the superiority of the Japanese in light craft of all kinda will make it dangerous for the Russian romaant to keep at sea and more than danger- ous to endeavour to control the narrow waters. Considering the numerous points of departure for ships from Japan and the number of porte inged domination of the sea aree of & character of landing in Cores and Liau-tang, nuchal- to prevent absolutely the supply of the Japanese armies with things they cannot draw from China does not seem within the right of a victorious Russian remnant to anticipate.
