Ho considers that ■Tapan 1 6 great war contribution' to the Allies consisted in the munitioning of Kussia, which during the last year was equal to twenty millions sterling. Prior to the fall of Warsaw, Japsn supplied 750,000 rifles, and after August, mobilised all her industrial resources, enabling the Russians to renew their offensive in Juno. Japan mado eight million yards of cloth, and released two | millions from* stores, besides guarding the Eastern seas, convoying British, transports to Suez, and supplied many rifles for Kitchener's army and guns for the British Navy—and- she is still' making guns. Japan's munitions arc half the price of those supplied. by the American works. Japan released ten millions in gold fa New York' for the purchase of British Bonds, and also bought five millions' worth of Russian bonds. Mr. Machray quotes many other illustrations of Japan's great assistance, to the Allies.
