308 THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR
reserve, hailing from Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka,
who were sick and tired of the war and only
longed to be home again. One solitary event
stands out very clearly to proclaim this danger to
Japan ;
to wit, the refusal of a certain regiment to
advance on the enemy, which I have mentioned
in Chapter XL This regiment came from one of
the places in Japan where the domestic and social
life has been most Influenced by Western ways.
With the greater prosperity which will follow after
the war there is the possibility of the disease
spreading. So far no alien people has come
under the influence of Western civilization without
losing more than it has gained. Japan is the
only exception. Will it remain so?
