Sir Frederick Treves, who is in the Far East studying the medical aspect of the war, writes to the British Medical Journal (June 11), under the date Tokio, May i : —“ During a residence of two months in Japan I have been greatly struck by the admirable bear ing of the people—m all classes of society—in connection with the war. The Japanese are intensely patriotic, hut their patriotism is a solemn sentiment, and not a temporary neurosis. There is no boasting and no bragging, and no symptom or trace of 1 mafficking.’ In discussing their successes they are not always modest, and their attitude towards the enemy who has experienced a temporary reverse is almost sympathetic. If the attitude of a people during a time of war can be discussed as a matter of taste, it may be appropriate to say that the altitude of the Japanese has been characterised by such good taste that it is worthy of imitation."

Wriiting to the Dunedin press a correspondent who claims to be, a Britisher and a footballer says I—- “ Naturally, when an international British team was coming here, I looked, as thousands of others did, to see some real scientific and fair British football, and what did We see S’ the most barefaced rule-breaking that it has ever been my misfortune to witness—offside, pickingout of the scrum, and deliberate obstruction ; in addition to which one player struck two different blue players and the referee ended Dp by cautioning him. Now, why should this be ? This was rnt a team with new rules of Rugby football, but a team supposed to be versed in every rule and department of the game, and had Williams done bis duty, the offender should have been ordered off the field at once. I don’t see why these players should be mollycoddled because they are a British team.”
