Oyama entered into the great combat under certain disadvantages. It is always a difficult thing to take the stage when the curtain has just rung down on a performance that brought ringing cheers from the house. The slightest failure in the new performer is then exaggerated, and the house, with the memory of the former brilliant star, receives coldly the efforts of the
new man. Marshal Oyama landed in Man- churia after Kuroxi's dashing successes, and as Commander-in-Chief his position was not so spectacular as that of bis subordinate. The world, as the audience, looked on critically, if not coldly, as the curtain rasg up on the battle of Liaoyang. It was expected that 250,000 men shou.d completely encompass 250,000 men, or something to that offect. The

The thinking department of the German Navy, is organised on the plan that it is the brain of the Navy, responsible not only for in- formation, but for decisions.
