EXCLUUING [IE ` THE JAPANESE

Wlintcverjusticc there may be il the

pi-oliibition of Chinese, immigration, it docs not apply to Japanese immigration. China has ii population of 400,000,000; Jap- an has a population of 45,000,000. It is possible that Chinese immigration might become of such volume as fairly to deluge Canada. But there is no possibility of any such deluge by Japanese immigration. Moreover, there is a vast difference in the character of the Chinese and the Japan- ese. The iatter are proving themselves to be among the greatest people of the earth and are displaying the utmost intelligence. strength and courage in the art of commerce and the aria of war. It is not at all likely that many Japanese will ever cure to leave their own country, now that is taking a foremost place among the nations; but these who do leave it ought to be welcomed to Canada as making very desirable additions to our population.

That steps should be taken towards

a better regulation and discrimination is true, but this discrimination ought not first to be exercised against u people who have iiisplaycd such marvellous capacity as the Japanese.-Trade Review.

but everything is in the hands of God. We have suficrcd fearful losses. Great s0verelgn.pardon us. We have done everything humanly pos- sible. Blaine us but be merciful! Nearly eleven months of untlring struggles have exhausted us. Only one quarter of the garrison is alive and of this nuuiber the

majority are sick and those who' ure iiiile axe obliged to act on thc defensive with- out even short intervals of repose und are worn to shadows.” `

While the terrible losses of the Japan-

ese ln the present war linvc shocked and horrified civilization, medical men have been struck with the unusually small per- centage of deaths among the wounded. From astrlctly military point of view, ii soldier is better killed than disabled. If he dies at once, there is an end to the matter, but if helivcslnnd remains help' lcss, he makes a demand on the resources of the army which has"been held to be eq- ual to that of one hulc enemy. Stratcgists have reckoned that a force caring for 500 wounded men is at the same relative disadvantage as though the encmyhiid received reinforcements of 500 men. ln the early and savage stages of the war the wounded were usually killed by their companions, but now that this old brutal practice has given place to theory that a wounded soldier has thc strongest of all claims on his country, the utmost effort is made by leaders to nurse their sick to health.

Here are some of the wonders of

Japanese surgery described by Dr. Seaman: '

“Up to the time of our drst visit in July

there had been more than 600 operative cases, and only six deaths.

In one of the wards we found fifteen

surgical cases, six of which had ex perienced hemorrhlges from the lungs, and several in the abdominal cavity as the result of bullet perforations. All were recovering, and ten were able tu stand up and remain in that position while we were in the ward.

“Nine patientslisd been shot through

the brain, the orifice of entrance and exit being plainly visible. All were recovcr- ing.

“Another ease was that of a miin shot

directly over the region of the heart. There was no point of exit for the bullet, and probably he carries it around with him today. _

“Up to August 1, 7890 cases had been re-

ceived authe hospital, of which 0,036 -'ere cases of the wounded. Of tlie entire ber up to that time only 34 had die

glcal and medical treatment the world has ever seen."-Mail and Empire.
