At ll.n nult.renk of the Kliropcon

that the struggle would huve on ex

when It urndually became apparent
that Just the opposite was true, re

editor of the New York Sun. The first
Important event that took place was
the olllclal recognition that l.speranio
received from the government of Oer-
mnny, which published uu i-sporaniu

relating to the war and caused It to

Fhow formed an important part of Ger
many's campaign of publicity in neu

pornntlsts In France organized so

In all of the warring nations and In
the few countries still. Ut peace there
has awakened n new Interest In Es

Is nnrilciilnrtv true of the soldiers or
all the countries at war, prisoner of

lint the most Interesting reports or
our progress come from the far Fast.
There Is now n large nnil iioiirismns
society In China that has made thou
sands of "converts" to lvsperanto; anil
Japan is much better represented than
In former years. This Is remnrkaiiiu
In view of the dissimilarity between
Ksperanto and the language of the
Orient. I translate a paragraph from
a letter I received some time Ago from
a friend In that quarter of the globe.

Manila. Major r.ush writes: "Last
May and June I traveled througii

will Increasingly continue to do so.
A significant Indication of the tendency
of tho times Is afTorded by the recent
decision of the common council, Guild
hall, London, that "whereas. Kngland
nnd her ullles are preparing to act In
concert In relation to future commer
cial affairs, It Is highly desirable that
one language be accepted lis a commer

schools." And the resolution, which
I have freely translated from an Kspor.

for consideration the languages of thi
