A LESSON OF FITNESS. `

ThatJapan in the present war has

tuice captured or destroyed fleets as

gstrong as her entire naval force was at thebcginning of the war; that she has captured, slain or sent to the bottom five Russiaii adniirals and many thousands ofi officers and mcn;tliat she has done this with inconsidemblc losses of inen or ships. and that with the captured vvarshlps nflilcd to her fleet shc stands today

stronger nt sea than ever before, is one of thc unexpected and surprising develop- ments of the war. And tho lesson of it all is the lesson of fitness, of efficiency, of cniniiiniiricrs, oflicera and men who had learned their duties and carried them out not only without mistake, but with such coolness, courage, zeal and success as the world has seldom if ever witnessed.

In the battle of fthe other day the fleets

were of comparatively equal strength in ships, guns mid men. It was indeed thi- fact that the new Russian bi\ttlcship.~

were in some respects superior to the best of those which Togo coininanded; their 12-inch guns were of the latest and best model uiiii if rigiitlyserved would have been more efl'ecti\'c than airy in the

Japanese fleet. It is quite beyond ques- tion now that had the Japanese coni-

mandcrs and men on board the Japanese ships the result would have been about the same as it was. 'The Russians would

have been defeated and their ships des- troyed and captured. What a lesson t‘iere ls in this for the nations t-hat are

spending untold millions on mighty naval armaments. The Russians are not want-

ing in courage. Perhaps they are quite as brave as British, Americans, Germans or French.

Unless warn arc to cease there will

come ir day when the dtness of the per- sonnel of other navies than th0se of Rus-

sia and Japan must be tested in the ordeal of battle. Britain claims the mighticst fleet that ever sailed the seas. hut the question of greatest national con- cern is not one of mere numbers of great guns andmight-y ships. It is the question of the fitness and efficiency of the officers and men who are to handle these tre-

mendous engines of warfare. The Brit- ish ariny was tested in South Africa not many years since, and while superb in courage and patriotism thc results of the earlier battles were sadly disappointing. We fondly hope that the navy would do better if suddenly put to the test. But the stake is tremendous. We have seen the fleets of Russia destroyed ina few

months by a power of not more than one hlrd her naval strength at the outset. Tha loss is irretrievnblc so- firr as the

present war is concerned. It takes years io build a battleship. In a worii,Britain`i\ safety depends on the fitness and efii- ciency of her naval commanders and men.

How would they stand the test of conflict with another power trained and disciplin- ed to the superb fitness of Japan?

The publication by The Guardian nf n

partial synopsis and some extracts from the correspondence extending over five years in regard to the Charlottetown railway station site has revived the in- terest in that matter. And it is felt on all hands that the extension of the track now to be made to the Plant Line Wharf

greatly strengthens the 4°ioaition` of the George Street site which has all along been sostrongly endorsed by the great body of our citizens. Every argument in fcvor of that site is quite as good as ever; and with the track once extended across the foot of George Street one principal ob- jection loses all its force.

1 Having smitten his Russian! enemies .iris me ‘tain tai iuuatrago 'wu ed by an tmnsrlalf naw, ma in imribaisc an mann, yilieii he was beyond his expectatlbas, “to the bril-

liant virtue ot Your 'Majesty and

of any human being.” The same' t-loue commander had before spoken 'pub- licly and directly to the spirits of the dead whchad before Port Arthur. He told these departed ones that he had been called by the Emperor to report to them the successes of the Japanese fleets. “0ur combined lieeta,” he said, “retains the lndlsputed command of the seas. I bint that this wiii bring pcm and mr, i to your spirits." In all this we may al- low something for oriental compliment as well as for t-he ferviduces and poetry of the oriental imagination. '

Admiral Togo is however an eminently

crate aawellas ifr'-ave. With him reverence for his sovereign and for his ancestors comes nearer to worship than the like feeling does with us, but it is afacling which is better to have in excess than to

be without, even from the standpoint of thch hest civilization. We have some

regard to the best of sovereigns that the loyal Japanese has for his Emperor, and also a little of the same sort of reverence for ancestors who have rendered faithful and distinguished service to theircountry,

especially if they have given up their lives in patriotic devotion to our country's cause. And like Togo we get a measure

of inspiration inciting to patriotic service from bot-lr the “virtue” of a sovereign such as our late beloved Queen, und the illus- trious riecils of those through whom our lifc has come to us. Where Is there the

grciit difference, if we allow ir little for the more imaginative mode of Japanese

thought i A

It is noteworthy that in our religious

thought and in our poetry we approach perhaps the closest that we ever rome to the Japanese conception of things as tothe relations between the living andthe de-

parted. The writer of the Epistle to the liebrews found inspiration in thc thought of being “conipassed .about with a great cicud of witnessess" who had suffered for

making them spectators of our conflicts. And the poet Campbell when he would rouse the patriotic arCiDl‘ of the mariners of England reminded them.-

The spirit of your fathers shall star;

from every wave.

For tho deck it was their field of

fame, thc occan was their grave.

This is poetry, and we do not take it

quite so literally as do tho Japanese their ideasof thc lntercommunication of

the* bodied and disembodied spirits of men. Our thought upon such subjects is perhaps more vague, more eoldly unim- aginutivo than theirs. But possibly-may we not say it is probable~that we err on the side of believing too little rather than too muchl
