carried forward will more than meet our unex-

First of all, we have decided to withdraw from Japan rather than lock up funds to the extent of 100,000 yen as a government deposit, and we are, therefore, allowing our risks to expire and, in the course of a few months, we will have no further liability in that country. The second step referred to is the opening of an agency in London for the transaction of United Kingdom reinsurance business.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN
WAR-TIME. Profiting by past experience, and realising the losses sustained by the ravages of infectious disease in times of war, the authorities are tak ing steps to prevent it as far as possible during the coming campaign. It is pointed out that during the Japan China War and also in the North China campaign the death rate averaged 40 to 45 per cent, on the field and during siege, while those actually attacked by disease reached 73 per cent. With such results in a war of short duration the consequences of contagiors disease during a war which may last for a year or two may well be imagined.
The authorities propose to establish in Korea, at all centres where it is considered necessary, military sanatoriums for the purpose of carry ing out efficient measures for disinfection. In addition to this, there will be what is to be known as a disinfecting department in all field hospitals, where medical men, having the same responsibilities as military physicians, will be appointed to attend exclusively to measures for disinfection and prevention of infectious diseases.-A obe Chronicle.

JAPANESE KILLED in the War.
At the present moment it may be interesting to give the terms of the Japanese Prize Court Law, which was promulgated 1894 at the time of the Japan-China War, and still remains in force. The Law defines the constitution and powers of the Prize Court and the Higher (Ap. peal) Prize Court. Regarding the former, the Law provides that there shall be one President and six Judges, the President to be appointed from among the judges of the Court of Appeal, while of the Judges one shall be a Naval Officer, two judges of Courts, one a Judge Advocate, another a Councillor of the Legistative Bureau, and the sixth a Councillor or Secretary of the Foreign Department, The Court of Appeal is consituted of a President and eight Judges, of whom the President is appointed from among the Privy Councillors. Of the Judges,entioned objects. one must be a Privy Councillor, two must be Naval Officers, three Judges of the Supreme Court, with the Chief of the Legislative Bureau, and Chief of the Bureau of the Foreign Depart ment. The constitution of both Courts is com- pleted with the appointment of two Inspectors, who with the Judges and Presidents are the nominees of the Premier and appointees of the Crown. The necessary officials are appointed by the Courts themscives.
With reference to the procedure after the seizure of vessels, any comunander having cap- tured a ship, shall deliver the same at the port where the Prize Court is situated, or order a It is interesting to watch the gradual evolu-
subordinate officer to take the vessel to the tion of international law and its approximation
Prize Court port. The officer shall unmediate to the principles which animate the relationsly report the capture to the Prize Curt, giving between individuals. Such a process seems to be going on at the present time with regard to the seizure of vessels that are not belligerents, but belong to the mercantile navy of the belligerent country. It is curious at first sight that there should be such a difference between property on land and property at sea in the case of belligerency. According to
The
flague War Regulations, to which both Japan and Russia are parties, neither requisitions in kind nor services can be demanded from
communes
or inhabitants "except for the necessities of the army of occupation," while all contributions in kind shall, as far as possible, be paid for in ready money, and, if not, their receipt shall be acknowledged. In another Article it is provided that "an army of occupation can only take possession of the cash, funds, and proper y lable to requisition belonging strictly to the State, depots of arms, means of transport, stores and supplies, and, generally, and movable property of the State which may be used for military operations."
