orally division, as on this campaign /;
and their medical organization is with
that idea and is divisional, capable of
subdivision. They really have several
lines. of medical assistance. On being
asked what the plan of action was when
the japanese retreated instead of ad-
vancing the chief surgeon of the Japan
eses forces in China replied that as in
none of their wars so far the japanese
army had ever retreated, they had no
experience in that direction. 1t was the
general impression among medical men
with the expedition that the Japanese
medical service was most efficient and
complete"
Lieut.-Col. Dickman, who was with the
expedition, is now on duty in Washing
ton with the general staff. One report
of his on file in the department has this
to, say of the Russian cavalry.
"At Tongku we had orr first view of
the Cossacks, the nomads of the steepes.
Their horses were of all colors, scrubby,
shaggy and dirty, with stations, mares
and even colts among them.
"The men had no tents. but made shell
tiers of pieces of canvas, sheets of cor
rugated iron, mating or similar articles.
They seemed heavy set, husky fellows,
perfectly at home in their squalor."
notwithstanding the unfavorable re-
ports of the American officers as to the
Russian troops, their supplies and equip
ment, great credit is given in official re-
ports to the rapid mobilization system
of the Russian government. At the time
when military operations in China ceas-
ed the total Russian strength in Eastern
Asia, including force of troops brought
from Europe, was $500 officers and 49,
00e men.
This force has not been diminished
since the Chinese expedition, but, on the
contrary, has been augmented. To as
semble this force there were transported
into the Trans Baikal over the Siberian
railway and across the Baikal lake 54,-
40 men and ii ,407 horses. The total
number of troops transported by rail
and water to the military district of the
Amur was 1926 men.
Taking the situation altogether, it is
not believed that either army has an ad-
vantage in organization or personnel.
The result will depend upon strategic
movements and the maintenance of a
supply column.

NEW RECRUITS FOR AR MY.
Number of Young Men Will Serve
Uncle Sam.
From Friday's Daily.

from rT1uay Dduy.
Major Charles w. Taylor of st. Paul,
who has charge of the recruiting sta
ton in that city, came to Mankato yes
terday and went through the formality
of enlisting five new recruits, who have
Just been gathered in at the Mankato
branch of the st. Paul station, that
branch which was about two weeks ago
located at the City hotel.
The five new recruits are: Fred
Schultz of Faribault, infantry; William
H. Lydon, Mankato, infantry; Lloyd
Sines of Nielsville, Wis, cavalry; An
drew Anderson of Mankato, cavalry;
Frank Jaeger of Mankato, cavalry. All
left last night for their barracks, the
infantrymen for those at Columbus, o.,
and the cavalry men for the Jefferson
Barracks in Missouri, ten miles from St.
Louis. These stations, however, are
only temporary. The men will later be
sent to reservations where there are
vacancies, their own preferences being
regarded as far as circumstances will al
low. Uncle Sam treats his boys well.
This makes nine enlistments that the
Mankato branch station has made during
the past thirteen days. Sergeant Buck
ley, who is in charge of the branch sta
ton is well pleased over this showing.
Sergeant Donca, who has also been
doing recruiting work in Mankato, left
Tor st. Peter yesterday, to make prep
arations for the opening of station
there after the work in Mankato is COM
pleted.

Insane Man Rings Up the Governor
and Demands $4,000.
Governor Denies He Owes This o.
Any Other Debt.
Girls at The Northwestern Telephone
Office Scared.
Officer Robb Takes Charge Of De.
mented Man.
From Thursdays Daily.

Five telephone girls in the Northwest
'ern Exchange office were given a bad
scare last night by an insane man by the
name of Emil Upstrom, living out in
Columbia park. Upstrom came into the
office about half past seven o'clock and
talked to the girls in the Swedish Ian
guage not one word of which they could
understand. Finally one of them told
him to go into one of the booths and con-
nected his phone with that of a young
lady operator who understood Swedish
but happened to be at home. The man
came out of the booth quite angry,
speaking a little English this time, the
meaning of which seemed to be that he
wanted to talk with man and they
had given him lady. He began to ges-
ticulate and pound ON the window sill
and table. Finally one of the girls under
stood that he wanted to talk with the
governor and proceeded to call up the
chief at the st. Paul office. AS soon as
he heard the word chief the man took
it into his head that it was the chief of
police that was wanted, and that he
was to be arrested. So he left the Of
fee in high dudgeon.
Half an hour later he came back and
again demanded connections with the
governor, pounding and gesticulating as
before. He was again told to 60 into the
booth and the governor was rung up for
him at his residence in st. Paul. Up
strom declared that the governor owed
him $1,000 Van SAINT answered that this
was the first man he ever owed in his
life. Upstrom asked the governor if the
latter had sent for him and the governor
replied, 'tNot to my knowledge" Up
strom then requested permiss'on 10 re-
turn to Sweden. The goysrnor told the
central office that tie police had bet
ter be called.
Tn the p,1dn time one of the tele-
nbone enls had stepped into the other
bo>th, where the man could not hear her
voice and had called up the police sta
tion about the matter. Two commercial
college boys succeeded in calming the
man down, after he came out of the
booth, until Officer Robb came in and
took him away.
Upson's unfortunate condition seems
to be due to relapse into the same
state of mental weakness from which he
rallied four years ago. About that time
he bought ticket to return to Sweden
but got only as far as Buffalo, n. Y,
where he lost the ticket His brother
came after him and brought him back to
Mankato. Upstrom is a carpenter by
trade and is unmarried. He is about
about thirty years old
