Philadelphia — A collection of
swords, some of which arc more than
live centuries old, baa recently beens
brought to this city by Rev. Henry M.
Landis. They were selected and pur-
chased by him during bis 16 yean*
residence tn Toklo. In thnt time be
became quite a student ol the history
of Japanese swordmaklng.
“For more than t.UOu years the
art of swordmaklng,11 he said, “has
been held tn tbe highest national es-
teem among the people who are now
warring with Russia. As we study
and eberlah the history of English let-
ters, so do the Japanese value tbe his-
tory and worth of their swordmahera.
