Mr. Goljquhoun insists that lack of imagination is adistingushng fea- ture ot the Ja aneso people,` and so often has this cc arge Decal made that - it may be accepted. Asnoo `individual . can be supremely great -without im- agination, whether as an artist, a financier. or a prize-figter. this feel- ing WD'llld seem- tosetalimit on ~Ja- .pan s ambitiotns. .unless` it poss- iole fora nation to cultivate the quality. If English military critics, are to be believed, the l-ack of im- aginatiotn on thepart of Japan's generals has been manifested. again and again. Up to -a certain point. they have overwhelmed their foe.- but never yet have theybeen able to force home their advantage. H-ow V many times was Kuropatkin hurled back, ap arecntly broken? Yet he was always ale to gather his troops to- gether and make a stand the next `week. -,. Military critics have/been full of explanations. but a perhaps _ the lack of ima ination. assuming that there is a eiici-ency. may account for this `blot on Japaafsvescutcheon. A-LAND WITHOUIT RELIGION. Another. puzzling feature of the Japanese :.character is its lack of re- ligion. The nearest approach to a religion in Japan is the fanatical_del- votion -to the Mikado" and {the coun- try;'a devotion . which is translat- ed into deeds, of heroism on the I` ttletieldi ,'.|?he belief in innumiear-' -_able blenetficient or malevolent` spirits is inferior to the monotheistic con- ception. and on a lower plane will mental development. and yet theJa- panese have r`ejected`the_lat1te'r and cling to- the former.
