Altogether the Japanese deserve high praise for their military arrangements and tactics. Their transport is surpassingly complete, even to the smallest detail, and includes small boats adapted for work on the Peiho river. The provision of stores for their troops has also been well thought out. The recent naval manceuvres have evidently left them in a high state of preparation. The cheerful way in which they ce-operate with the British, American, and other forces is also notable.
