A MAN AND A CRISIS.

Americans may not sympathize with
the policy or hope for the|success of
Russia in the far east, but those who
admire manhood, no matter under
which flag 1t fights, will find an OPP
portunity to enthus over the conduct
of General stoessel, the communicating
chief at Port Arthur.
From the initial stages of the land
and water seige, Stoessel must have
realized. along with his fellows and
the bureaucrats in st. Petersburg, that
the fall of the fortress was inevitable.
If he had ever entertained any fatuous
doubts on that subject, the recent
smashing Of both the Russian fleets
and the dosged approach Of the Japa-
nese by land. must have brought him
