A letter from a Japanese firm:--

"DEAR SIRS,--Since writing you last we have no favours to

acknowledge, however, we are pleased to enter into business relation

with your respectable firm. We were delighted that the Allies

always behaved bravely in the recent battle and now are in the very

favourable condition. Our army took the possetion of Tsingtau and our

only hope remaindered is to hear the annihiration of the enemy force.

We trust the Allies will beat the Enemy in near future though we

cannot assert the time. If there are any samples of Japanese goods as

substitute of German's, kindly let us know, and we shall send the same

as soon as possible."
