Thave who have been agitating in favour of sending an expedition to Europe to the assistance of the Allied forces, have decided to organize a volunteer force end have established its headquarters at the Seiyoken Hotel, Tokio, and issued a prospectus, says the Japan Chronicle." The war in Europe, says this document has turned the whole continent into an inferno, and the misery of war threatens to spread all over the world. Those who wish for the peace of the world and the happiness of mankind are much con-corned at it. Great Britain, France, Russia, and Belgium are fighting for the purpose of removing the causes of the misery of war and restoring the peace of the world, and their action fully deserves the sympathy of the Japanese, particularly so as those who are fighting for humanity are people of allied or associated nations.
"We," conclude the writers of the prospectus, "now propose to raise a volunteer force and join te Allied forces with a view to stopping the war in Europe and restoring the peace of the world. This course is the right path for all men. Those who have the happiness of mankind at heart, detest the misery of war, and wish for the peace of the world, are requested to join us and pai cipate in this act of justice. We hope to display the valour of the Japanese race to the world in this adventure."
