A WAR CORRESPONDENT ON THE JAPÎNESE ARMY.
CRITICISM BY A CORRESPONDENT LATE, WITH THE RUSSIANS. [Concluded from Saturday.] The uniform of the Japanese soldier is practical. On the yellow or diny white Man-. churian soil the khaki of coats and caps was visible only at vory short distances. The yel- low-grey heads of the infantry on the upper. crest of trenches looked like stones or lamps of earth; the difference was only perceived when the men began to shoot." The Japanese prisoners whom I saw showed themselves dignified and grava. When they met Russian officers they saluted smartly; otherwise, they were very taciturn and expressed no wishen au regard quarters, food, etc.
The order kept on the march and the clean. liness of the Japanese quarters was remark- able. Even the train columns marched evenly and in close formation. In quarters the com manding authorities were indicated by written affiches, signposts, etc., which avoided delay in finding and asking for particular officers. The railway line from Liaoyang to Mukden was worked in good order. The treatment and sending back of wounded was quick and prac... tical, and the altitude of the Japanese towards the Russian prisoners unobjectionable. Once when I wished to cut a rope with which may baggage was tied, I reached out for the sword of a cavalryman who was assisting me, but he objected energetically to such an unworthy use of his weapon. "Japanese sword, enemy- only," he stammered excitedly. This pleased
me,
Less was I pleased when and that happen: - ed nearly every day-officers assured me that they abhorred war, and that the Japanese. people felt likewise. Very unwillingly, said they, had the Japanese decided to fight. Granted, I will not here go into the history of events. But many details in battle have shown me that the Japaness enjoy it passionately Some phenomena would be inexplicable if one
did not presuppose the intention to befool the enemy, to bluff and deceive him. To the Japanese it is a pleasure to fight, and mortal combat is fun to him, I can understand this. But with my simple Germán understanding I cannot comprehend why they so eagerly assert the contrary; all the more so as nobody can believe them. I once said this to an otherwise. › Special attention given to effectively display very nice officer: "Why these excuses?"

To be brief, I can only say that what I have iéen of the Japanese army in battle and other- wise has greatly i terested me. They have
