Japanese Efficiency.

The testimony of the New York Herald as to the efficiency of the Japanese troops deserves notice (writes the Paris correspondent of The Times to his journal) as that journal can scarcely be suspected of over-indulgence when dealing with Japan. The Chemulpo correspondent of the Herald, in a letter dating from the latter end of February, expresses the following views : “ In spite of the difficulties to contend with, the transport department of the Japanese army has landed in one week 100,000 tons of supplies, 2500 cavalry horses, and some 20,000 men. This has been accomplished without noise, confusion, accident, or congestion in the streets leading to the landing-jetty, with far less noise and .confusion than attends the discharg ng of an 800-ton coasting steamer. . . . The appearance of the sturdy, silent,

' and well-equipped Japanese soldier excites as much admiration as does the wonderful thoroughness and system of the department charged with his transport and housing! Not a -single case of drunkenness or disorder is apparent. . . . The impression 'given by a sight of the Japanese army in the field is one of sturdy readiness, endurance, and silence.”
