A silly-season newspaper discussion or
the marriage question has provoked a
remarkable statement of opinion from
Novelist George Meredith. who in an IN
tcrview in the London Daily Mail wei
comes the discussion of the subject.
though, as he confesses everything that
ought to be said has to be cut in hair.
He predicts a change in the legal condi-
tions of marriage and foresAadows a
state of society permitting marriages Tor
certain limited periods, the State en-
forcing provision of money during that
period to provide for and educate chill
dren, the government possibly taking
charge of this fund. Mr. Meredith says:
There will be a great uproar before
such change can be made. 1t will be
great shock, but look back and see what
shocks there have been and what changes
have, nevertheless, occurred in the mar
rage business in the past" Mr. Mere
dith foresees great difficulty in English
conservatism, notably revealed in criti-
cism Of America, indicating the Eng
hshman's persistency in regarding any
new trait as a sign of disease. Yet,

In the latter part Of August the Japs
took four outlying forts in front or
Rihlung and Kikwang. They immed-
ately set out to strengthen these
places. and made them into most re-
spectacle Notifications. When the
next general assault starts. these forts
will try to silence the guns of their
Russian opposites before the infantry
come into operation If the new Japa-
nese forts can obtain a preponderanee
over Rihlung and Kikwang those
places may possibly fall to general as
sault. But the whole operations at
Port Arthur up to the present date
merely confirm the old lesson that de-
lenses adequately manned by resolute
troops cannot be taken by frontal at
tack. The Japanese are desperately
brave; they are especially good on the
offense. They started at Port Arthur
flushed with victory. They considered
the place as holy and and went at it
like crusaders. But they have come
nowhere near storming it. Strong forts
containing good men cannot be storm
ed.
The Russian tried their hands at
storming when they made sortie at
Fort Else, but were driven back. The
condition as to Else is not clear. Ger
tainly the Russian do not hold it, but
neither, it seems, do the japanese. 1t
is a low lying fort, dominated by the
Japs from behind, and by the Russians
from in front. Neither side can live
in it, apparently, and it remains un-
occupied.
Not infrequently there is a feeling
of good fellowship between two hostile
armies. The outposts meet and ex-
change tobacco. If they speak differ
ent tongues they swap lies by the sign
language. But at Port Arthur the
fighting has been SO bitter and desper-
ate that the Japanese and Russian SOL
diers individually abhor each other, re-
garding each other not merely as ma
tional but also as personal enemies.
General Stoessel, aeutely playing on
the venomous spirit between the be
siegers and besieged, has told bis

In some respects the strstegical stu

or eight weeks before the battle of

are the same mountain ranges with the
Japanese forcing one after the other

We still have the great weight of
Oku's and NOdzu's armies grimly
astride the railroad, preventing any
possible expedition to 'the relief of
Port Arthur" and at the same time
ready to deal the sledge-hammer
blows that will force the Russians still
farther northward when the time
comes. We still have Kuroki in touch
