accordance with the 'changed conditions made. evident by the war.

There is one subject upon which educated, Japanese opinion is, at the present juncture, of the highest importance-ibe future of Korea. It is this little peninsula, so vitally important |to Japan, as a granary for herself and a coup

Courteous with the genuine suavity of the Oriental, a keen sense of humour which on the slightest pretext irradiates h's mobile features with smiles if these be, characteristics general amongst the commissi nel ranks in the.the colonization, aʼministration and develop. Japanese Army it is easy to understand the genuine camaraderie which sprang up between the officers of the British-Indian force and the allies with whom they tramped side by side to the relief of the Legations General Fuku- shima was to have been one of the

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVES OF JAPAN at the Coronation; but owing to the postpone ment of the ceremony the members of the delegation scattered in various directions before the appointed day arrived. The General him. self had, a mission to India, and he reached this country travelling, via Colombo and Tuticorin. After a brief stay with General Sir Robert Low at Poopa he arrived in Bombay on Wednesday, and an opportunity was soon found for a brief conversation with a represent ative of this jour;al

meat of Korea. On this paint alas! General Fukushima resolutely declined to be drawn. It was a political question in which he as a soldier had no'part, and he professed himself quite in the dark.

Upon another important question which has arisen quite recently General Fukushima was able to throw a little more light... The cables have informed us that General Yamani has just been appointed Japanese military attaché at Pekin. Now General Yamani is an officer, of standing; he commanded the line of com- munications in the Chinese War, and has for some time been at the head of the Japanese forcos in China From this the quidnuncs have drawn the conclusion that General Yaman's appointment is the prelude to his selection for the task of organizing the Chinese land forces. General Fukushima placed no such interpreta- tion upon the appointment, and was inclined to think that it had no special significance.

"THE ALLIANCE.

General Fukushima is by no means a stranger to this country, or to the Indian Military system, says the Times of India. This is, in- -deed,-his-third-visit-hero-;-the-first-occurred-in- 1886 when Lord Roberts held the Chief Com-

Fukushima-left room for no doubt that it is George White was the head of the Indian Army.generally approved by educated public opinion Into the particular object of his tour he was reluctant to enter;

"I AM JUST TRAVELLING ROUND," he remarked, with a quiet smile; though it may be noted that this travelling round will embrace the principal military stations in Northern India. Nor were the details of our military administration entered upon, but he expressed his warm admiration of the conduct and bearing of the Contingent in China, "A fine, soldierly bedy" was his comment. "We marched shoulder to shoulder to Pekin, and it was an honour to be associated with such troops. Our relations with the British Indian force throughout the operations were of the pleasantest."

Referring to the South African campaign be said it was a triumph of organization to maintain that great army of a quarter of a million of men s'x thousand miles from its base, and to keep up such relentless pressure on the scattered Boers over such a vast tract of arid country." And although General Fu- kushima did not say so, his manner pretty clearly indicated that in his opinion continental warfare, assisted by a network of splendid roads and liberally equipped railways, with inexhaus- tible magazines and industrial resources easily accessible, was child's play by comparison, When inquiry was directed to the interpretation placed upon the teaching of

THE WAR IN JAPAN, and the modific-tions introduced as a conse- quence thereof, General Fukushima indicated' that no definits conclusions had yet been for mulated. Three Japanese officers served as attaches with the British Army, as far as the capture of Pretoria. Their report is still under consideration and no attempt has yet been made to alter Japanese tactical formations in

in Japan and is immensely popular. He was equally convincing as to the determination of his countrymen to maintain their land forces at the highest degree of efficiency. The burden of conscription rests but lightly upon the population, who show no inclination to chafe under their national responsibilities. The Eastern partner in the Alliance, at any rate, does not shrink from the expenditure necessary to be "always ready for war.".

SIGNALLING IN THE ARMY.

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S REVIEW, Reviewing the results of the British corps in Army Signalling for the past year the Commander-in-Chief considers the Cavalry and Infantry are satisfactory, the fact that the results are not so good as last year being due to the fact that many of the best signallers in the Army were in South Africa He regrets, however, to have to comment unfavourably on the Garrison Artillery, only 15 batteries of the 27 attaining the figure of merit considerably under list year, Nos. 42 and 75 companies Southern Division are specially commended.

LASCARS DRIVING OUT EUROPEANS.

A Government resolution on the report of the working of the Shipping Offices at Calcutta and the outports for 1901-03 states that the number of seamen shipped and discharged were-shipped, 37,382; discharged; 31,452 Under those shipped under European Articles, there is a dercease of 398, while under the Indian Articles, notwithstanding the unusually large numbers shipped during the previous year as crows on vessels chartered for the Government as transports, the figures in the year under review again show a small advance. It has been decide by the. Government of India that the law, as it stands, does not preclude the employment of Eurasians in mer chant vessels on the same terms as Europeans. Since then 37 Eurasians have been shipped

unde European Articles and 97 under Indian Articles, or a total of 134 against 72 under the Indian Articles only during the previous year. A few are able-bodied seamen, hut the greater under are engineers and clerks with a few gun. ners and mess-room stewards and ordinary seamen, In addition to the above, 43 seamen were shipped, and 59 discharged by the foreign Consuls. The numbers of shipped and dis charged Europeans are steadily decreasing. bearing in mind their relative cost, the Ship Judging from the complaints of masters, and

iping Mader is of opinion that the lascars will gradually but surely displace European crews.

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as thev say; the things that prove to be what they were said to be, how cheering it is to come upon them. We all hate to be deceived; especially when the decep- tion is Intentional. But all men are not liars, seven if David did say so in his haste. If they were society would be impossibile. Everybody knows that business is based on credit, on faith. Millions are bought daily on nothing more solid than the pledged promises of men, -no: written, merely verbal. The Stock Ex- changes are often called nests of gamblers, yet nowhere is a promise held in greater honour. Therefore when we say that the tried and effective modern remedy called "Wampole's Preparation" never deceives any who resort to it in hope of benefit and cure, we may expect to be believed. For this assurance is given on what it has done in the past in countless cases, on its record. It is only recom- mended to accomplish what it was made to accomplish. Its action in Chlorosis, Anemia, Ia Grippe, General Debility, Throat and Lugg Troubles, Blood Impurities, etc. is convincing. It is palatable as honey and contains the nutli- tive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Fxtracts of Malt and Wildherry Dr. Austin D. Irvine, of Choada, says: "hive nsed it in cases where cod liver oil was indicated but could not be taken by the patient, and the results following were very gratifying." It is effective from sensitive and nervous stomachs. It cannot deceive or dis- appoint you, and comes to the rescue of those who have received no benefit from any other treatment. It stands for the medical triumphs of the age. Sold by all chemists here.

"A FOOLISH ‘OLD IDEA,

It was once thought that a medicine was all the more beneficial for having a nasty taste and smell. We now know that such an idea is perfect monicase. There is no more reason why medicine should offend the senses than why food should do so. Therefore, one of the greatest chemical victories of the past few years is what we may call the redemption of cod liver oil. Everybody knows what a vile taste and smell this drug has. in its natural state. No wonder must people declare they would rather suffer from disease than take cod liver oil, and the emulsions are quite as foul and abominable as the plain oil, no matter what may be alleged to the contrary. Now it is one of nature's laws that a medicine which disgusts the nose and the palate, and also: sickens the stomach, can have no good effect | as a medicine because the system revolts
