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.

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
