Apparent Intention Of the Japanese
Commander.


st. Petersburg. Aug 10, 4-17 p M
The news received at the war Office to-
day indicates the concentration of the
japanese armies east OF SimOucheng.
which is interpreted as showing the in
fention to press direct on Lao Yang
in an attempt TO cut of Anshanshan
jhaIf way between Hal Cheng and
Lao Yang.
The japanese advance on Mukden
does not seem to have developed
serious character, and according to the
general staff. the way OF retreat is still
orea. II General KurOpatl1in chooses to
withdraw.
Rains again seem to be interfering
with the movements OF the japanese.
\ continuance of rains is considered TO
be greatly to General KurOpatkin's ad-
vantage. The lattcT's official report
received this afternoon confirms the
dispatch Of the Associated Press from

People Love Peace.

We are not a military people bent on
conquest or engaged in extending our
domains in foreign lands or dGsiriUus OF
securing natural advantages, however
great bq force, but a people loving peace
not only for ourselves. but for all the ma
tons of the Garth.
The display Of great military armament
NAV please the eye. and for tho moment
excite the pride of the citizens. but il
cannot bring to the country the brains,
Drawn and muscle of a single immigrant
nor induce the investment here Of dollar
of-capital OF course such armament as
NAV be necessary for the security OF the
country and the protection Of the rights
Of its citizens at home OF abroad, must
be maintained. Any other course would
be not only false economy. but puhiilan-
imous. I protest. however. against the
feeling now far too prevalent that by
reason of the commanding position we
have assumed in the world. we must take
part in the disputes and broils Of foreign
countries. and that because we have
grown great we should intervene in
every important question that arises IN
other parts of the world I also Prot est
against the erection Of any such mill
tary establishment as would be required
to maintain the country ia that attitude-
we should confine our international
activities solely to matters in which the
rights of our country or Of our citizens
are directly involved. That is not sitUa-
ton Of isolation but of independence

Should Set Good Example.

The government Of the United States
was organized solely for the people OF
the United States. While it was contem-
plated that this country should become a
refuge for the oppressed of every land
who might be fit to discharge the duties
Of cur citizenship. and while We have al
WAYS sympathiZed with the people OF
every nation in their struggles for SELF
government. the government was not ere
ated for q career of political or civilizing
evangelization in foreign countries or
among alien races The most eff
lifting the people Of other coUu-
tries Is by the presentation of q happy.
prosperous, self-goyerning nation as an
ideal to be amulated, model 10 be fol-
lowed. The general occupation of our
citizens in the arts OF peace or the alb
sence of large military armaments. tends
to impair neither patriotism nor physical
courage, and for the truth Of this 7 refer
the young men of today to the history of
the civil war For fifty years. with the
execution of the war with Mexico, this
country has been at peace with stand
ing army most Of the time Of less than
1000 men. He who thinks that the ma
ton had grown eliminate during that
period should read the casualty rolls Of
the armies on either side of Shiloh,
Antietam Fredericksburg and Gettys-
burg. at Stone river and at Chickamauga.
] would be the last man 10 pluck a single
laurel from the crown of any one Of the
military heroes to whom this country
owes so much, but I insist that their most
heroic deeds proceeded infinitely more
from devotion TO the country than from
martial spirit.
As I have already proceeded at too
great length, other questions suggested
in the platform must await my letter Of
acceptance.
