Save for one incident, where hor men bad received great provocation, she showed she was capable of carrying on a war according to modorn civilised" aethods, and sho emerged from the war with her fighting machine in perfect order. From that tirns to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war, Japan was still whirling along the road to ruin. She was burdening the people witis taxes, depressing trade, and, in short, doing every. thing she ought not to do. Then came to Russo-Japanese war, and again Japan showed that she still retained her vitality. Yet when that contest was started there still remained a large number of people ready to prophecy disaster; who thought in their heart of hearts that KUROPATKIN'abeas that the treaty of peace would be signed in Tokyo would come true. As a matter of fact, the history of the war shows that PHILIP of Spain stood a much better chance of adding Great Britain to his dominions when he sent the Armada than tho Kussians had of even efforting. landing on the shores of Japan. The arrangement of peace again found the erities busy. Japan was worn out with the struggle. It had not been a fair fight the Russians were not prepared, and the war could not be considered a test of Japan's ability. Eren Admin Toan's victory in the Japan Sea was belittled to a mere affair of sinking ships which were badly manned and hardly able to Boat. Since then Japan has been still on the downward grade.

That Japan has made no mistakes in the past is, of course, an absurd contention. She has made plenty of mistakes, but if we are to listen to the authorities on the British Government who are just now among the "outs," Great Britain also has made enough mistakes to wreek any ordinarily constituted Government three or four times over. It is quite possible to disagree with the policy of the Japanese Government, to hold that the monopolies, the high protective tariff, the subsidios and the State, interference
