Some Details ofits Organization and Equip

Some Details Ofits Organization and Equip
mrnt.
When it was suggested that Jaran be
entrusted exclusively with the task Of
restoring order in China and liherating
the Europeans there, attention was
drawn to the fact that japan has an
army which may be reekoned with as
second to none. Its actual organiza-
ton lie kept secret, as is that of other
armies, but some details are given by
an officer who helped to reform 1t, in
the Frankfurter Zeitung. We sum-
Marie as follows:
On the whole, the Japanese army
may be said to be modelled on the Ger
man plan. But it is today essentially
Japanese army, and even its arma-
ment is chiefly japanese. Much of
the artillery is still imrorted from Ger
many and France. The q. '9S field
gun, however, with which the whole
army is now equipped. and the Meid il
rife are Japan made.
The Japanese is divided into three
army corps, with 13 divisions, 2G bri-
gades, or 81 regiments uf infantry, of
three hsttalions each. This includes
the division of the guards. There are
IL regiments OF cavalry OF five squad
rons each, ard - artillery regiments
with III batteries. In time of peace.
the army numbers 3, l55 officers and
s2,3S4 men. Thus the war strength is
over 100000 This does not include
tho militia andLandw shr, neither of
which need serve abroad. They num-
ber ll3, 600 officers and men additional.
The plans for mobilization are un-
doubleday the same rs in the German
army, aud are likely to work with great
rapidly.
Twenty years ago, the japanese army
was still in backward state. Today
no foreign help is lesded, either to or
ganize or TO command. The discipline
is splendid, and of the courage of the
Japanese soldiers there can be nc
| doubt.

at Delaware City, are to be released.

behalf OF the men hns number of
signers, and an effort is being made to
have the Jury that convicted the men
sign this petition.
johnson is runner at the Jail and
has not Eeen any bother since he WAS
incarcerated. He has always Eeen
obedient and trustworthy. HUT has
not occasioned trouble, inside of the
Jail, but has been locked up several
times for misbehavior on the streets,
when he was ''trusty" or runner out
of the Jail.
The crime for which the men have
been incarcerated with Daniel Miller,
for the balance of their lives was the
brutal murder of an aged and innocent
negro, who was put out of the way and
beheaded, the headless trunk thrown
into the Delaware d Chesapeake Canal
and the head carried away and sunk in
the bottom of the Delaware River. The
sum realized was about 81 in money
and some old clothing.
The trial lasted nearly a week and
the men were convicted OF murder in
the second degree. The wife of HUT
was also arrested, but was allowed by
the jury to 60 back to her home as il
was deemed that she was but an un

Summer Is dead, AMI this her funeral pyre,
See how the purple blaze leaps higher and
higher!
Vanish all sun-born dream and soft desire.
Throw on all memories of pagant flowers,
OF hulbul's song and magic moonlit bowers,
All dear delights of dead, delusive hours!
List to the cracking sound relentless hiss,
The croak of scorn for all that fond brief
bliss;
Gray ashes fall-is life and love like this?
Nay, for my face is flushed by that fell glow,
And-strauge !-my pallid hands fresh I'M

BY THE STREAM.


The sunlight steals between the leaves
And flickers on the stream;
The little minnows dart about
Like shadows in a dream.
Beyond the shade the clover-feld
Is quivering with the heat,
But here the water ripples cool,
About the children's feet.
The leaves stir softly overhead;
The shadows verge toward noon.
And they will have to leave their play
And 90 to dinner soon.
