spondent of that paper says:
.It is the intention of I,rssia to accel-.
crate the construction of the Siberian
railway. the completion of which was
originally planned for 1905, so as to have
this immense work finished next year.
The motives for this haste are not only
last years events in China and -he Rus
sian occupation of Manchuria, but Inn
portant political considerations. In the
first place there is the desire, 20 postpone
Indefinitely a conflict of Russia. Japan
and England by establishing a military
equilibrium among these powers in the
Far East. To gain this end, Russia must
be in position to concentrate a large
military force at Port Arthur with rapid
ty which without the completion OF the
Siberian Railway would be out OF
the question.
II is by no means certain that Russia
could easily find the money for the COM
pletion of the railways next year, but
her anxiety to get a through line to Port
Arthur as soon as possible is quite clear.

Lists Love:
Life is love, and time is giving
Voice to Eden's whispered song,
And the choral lips of living
Laugh in music loud and long.
Wrong are they who bind life's story
To some sad, funeral strain;
Life came singing out of glory,
Shall go singing back again.
What although the voice of signing
UIldertones the sweetest bars
OF that anthem life is trying
To lift UP beyond the stars
'Tis that undertone of sadness,
Throbbing through the lips OF care.
Which zuFlifts LIES song Of gladness
Till it holds an angels prayer.
Nature writes her notes in flowers,
Making hymnaIs without words,
Which in joys hy1nenel hours
Are translated by the birds;
And life lifts these ever higher
Reaching for the heart of love,
Thrilling, trilling like a. Tyre
,Chorded to a song above;
Then, fullthroated. lift from under
Bass and tenor till they roll
+ On resounding waves of thunder
Upward from the human soul.
Life is love and love immortal
