positions of the utmost value. They have

dered the war feet of the car at Port
Arthur of no value whatever in the cam
paign by destroying or Gripping number
of the vessels and by impeding egress from
the harbor by at least partially blocking
the channel. They have. Furthermore,
cooped the Vladivostok squadron within a
very narrow range and have thus reduced
Russias war power on the sea In Asia to
negligible minimum. They have gained full
possession of Korea for landing purposes
and the establishment of supply bases and
have crossed the Yalu and inflicted a stag
gering blow upon the Russian line. driving
1t back by series of engagements which
demonstrated, apart from their mere nu-
merical superiority. the admirable qualities

Big Stamps.

The recent issue Of the new Louisiana
Purchase Exposition stamps has revived
the outcry against the occasional changes
In the size and style of the postal tokens
Business men, who use large quantities, are
especially vexed by these big issues of COM
memorative stamps and would greatly pre-
fer to see history recorded In some other
fashion that would entail less embarrass-
ment on them. The Louisiana stamps, as
they are called. are perhaps no bigger than
the Columbian Exposition stamps of eleven
years ago. but they, nevertheless, seem big
ger by reason of their peculiar design
Stamp handlers who sometimes manipulate
thousands Of these slips of paper in a day
find their labor increased and their speed

welcome and regret these special issues.
They have chance to derive profit by Sc
curing sets of them early In the ISSUE but
they find the market, in these days, great
ly congested with them and their oppor-
tunities lessened with each occasion. The
multiplication of modern domestic issues
has no special interest significance to
the amateur collector. who often looks
upon stamps rather from a geographical and
an artistic point of view than from that of
the gatherer of varieties. Notwithstanding
the objections the stamps continue to be
authorized by the government on these oc-
casions and the habit having been once ac-
quired, it may be long time before the
exposition issues are abandoned. They are
not always beautiful or especially signifi-
cant, they break up the orderly sequence In
point of size, and they add to the difficult
ties of business. But they are the fashion
and they must be borne for time with
such patience as human nature can sum-

Cost Of War.
From the Baltimore American.


II the dream OF international peace ia
ever approached-it seems too much in the
course of human nature to expect that it
will ever be thoroughly realized-one fac
tor in reducing tie belligerency of the
world to a minimum will be the cost of
war. From a humane and moral stand
point there is little to be said Of war as an
anomaly Of modern civilization which has
not been said. The cost Of war Is fright
nor is this expense in the present cost
alone: there remain the war taxes to
plague the people and hamper efforts to
repair the rayages OF war. and the de-
struction OF industries depending on peace
for their pursuit and prosperity.
