Admiral Alexieff's report on the
naval battle of June % Tin which the
Russians suffered slightly, not serious
ly, as reported by Togo, has consid-
erably cleared up the naval situation.
III that fight the Russians sighted in
the japanese squadron four first-class
and one second class battleships, as
well as four first-class armored cruis-
ers At the beginning of the war the
Japanese had FIVE trst-class and one
second-class battleships The Hatsuse
was sunk. Therefore the remainder OF
tie Japanese battieship squadron, by
Russian report. is intact. Furthermore,
ii is concentrated near Port Arthur,
ana Admiral Kamimura's fleet must
consist emily of cruisers. The japanese
have seven .irst-class armored eruis-
ers. Four of them were at Port Ar
thur on June 23. Three are probably
with Kamimara to cope with the three
armorei cruisers of the Vladivostok
squadron.
Kamimura has had his third chance
10 engage this squadron, but he has
failed again 1t escaped him. He
seems to have tried to head off the big
ships on the high seas with torpedo
boats. He could not do it. of course.
THIS confirms the prophecies of the
limitations of the torpedo boat. Against
ships at rest near harbors they are
good. but on the high seas they arc
not of much account.

ter during the week in the blowing up

Can science explain why the

OF the fact, as general PROPOSE

There is nothing more evident in
human history than the westward
tendency of the great migrations
OF mankind, as well AS of the
spirit of conquest and the genius
of civilization, which seem to fit
from race to race and from nation
