The claim of Japan to be looked upon as the, Britain of the east is not without foundation, writes Isaac Taylor Headland in Munseya Magaslne. Her situation in relation to Eastern Aon, or, for that matter, in relation to all Asia is very similar to thaj of England la her relation ho Europe. She la an island empire. Her territory ie not large and as her population is rapidly Increasing she is impelled to utilise every foot of ground she possesses. She terraces the mountain sides, and caiasoe them to blossom as the rose. She irrigates the waste place and changes the desert into green fields. 8h rescues the swamp lands and transforms them Into rice fields. So that the rural population of Japan, instead of being farmers, are gardeners, and the island empire is a garden spot In fact as well ae In name. Japan resembles Britain at sea as well as en land. Many of her people Mad a seafaring life. She ia not only destined to become, but is forced to ksestne, one of the great commercial nations of th world.

The Japanese Army. As Japan chose the greaeat naval power in the world for a model In planning her fleet so she selects the greatest military organization, the German army, as a model for her land forces. Her army numbers a quarter of a million men, with some 5,000 officers.
