THE GAME or DEATH.
Is Japan Defeating Herself by Her Ex.
penditure of Life Blood:

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
manner in which the Japanese commanders
have sent their men to death and the readi-
ness Of the Japanese troops to embark for
that destination have been among the most
striking features of the war in the Far East.
Reckless disregard Of human life has been
the chief characteristic in Japan's fighting
methods. While this has been built upon
a structure OF marvellous foresight on what
George KEENAN, has 30 aptly termed Japanese
"prearrangement." and upon q most able
system Of military and naval strategy. both
would have been OF little use without the
self-sacrifcing bravery of the Japanese
soldiers.
The total casualty list OF either Russia or
Japan Is as yet impossible of statement. The
losses Of both, from all causes. have undoubt-
eddy been very heavy. Japan's casualties
have certainly run into tens of thousands.
and II Ia open to little doubt that they may
be numbered by scores Of thousands This
raises the very pertinent question OF how
long she can maintain the pace without a
constant decrease Of her chance Of ultimate
victory. There is no reason to doubt the
stubbornness and persistence OF Russian
defence. Assuming an equality of the Rus
sian and the Japanese casualty lists. when
japan had sent her last available man to a
gallant death. Russia would still have numer
ically formidable army.
Ihere 10 nothing In the present OUTLOOK
to encourage any idea of Russian capitulation.
Nor is there probability OF any decisive
battle" Every Russian retreat brings her
so much nearer to her homo base, and by
just SO much simplihes her operations Every
Japanese advance carries her away from
her home base and makes more difficult the
supply Of her troops in the field and the re-
enforcement OF her fighting line. More men
will be needed for transportation service and
for the protection of her lines of commune
cation.
Russia'a navy may be wiped from the
Aslatic seas; Port Arthur may fall: Kuropat-
kin may be driven back until Russia's eastern
frontier stands at Harbin Russia may
then have an ample fighting line against
which a greatly reduced but still intrepid
Japanese army may hurl itself. Japan may
smite Russia hip and thigh, but IL is impossible
to ignore the probability that Russia will
still have hips and thighs when Japan. de-
stroyed by success. will no longer possess
a shifting force. II.

Political biography of MIR. TaEsart.

From the Indianapolis Ncrs.
The election of the Hon. Thomas Taggart
OF Indiana Us chairman of the Democratic
national committee was II personal triumph
for him, but its effect on the campaign is alto
gether a matter of conjecture. An attempt
has been made by MIR. Taggart's personal
friends and supporters to brighten Republic
cans by representing him az born leader
and organizer of victory. With an assump-
ton OF positive information and great conf
dence they declare that he is "A sure winner, "
and he admits it.
Republicans should not be unduly alarmed
by these claims. Mr.. Taggart is deservedly
popular among his ncighbors and has con-
siderable personal following at home, but to
represent him as a great political leader or
organizer of victory il "A mistake. He has
been fairly successful as candidate for
local office. having been elected auditor Of
Marion county twice and Mayor of Indian
apo!is three times. but as chairman OF the
Democratic State central committee OF Indi-
ana he did not develop the qualities of a great
leader or organizer Of victory. He was chair
man in 1892 and 1894. When he became
chairman the State was Democratic. Governor
Matthews having been elected in 1890 by
$500 majority. In 1892 the conditions were
favorable to Democratic success, and the
Democrats carried the State by a little more
than 5000. The reduction OF a Democratic
majority OF nearly 700 in 1890 to 5000 in
1892 did not indicate remarkable organizing
power on the part Of the Democratic chair
man
Mr. Taggart was continued as chairman
in 1885, The election for that year was for
State officers only. and neither side had the
benefit or hindrance of national issues. There
was a clear field for organization and COM
mittee work on both sides. The election
resulted in the most sweeping Republican
victory in the history of the State. The
Republicans carried the State by more than
~ 900 majority. and elected a majority in
both branches Of the Legislature and the
entire delegation IN Congress. Mr.. Taggart
was not reelected chairman of the State
committee.
Looking at the matter from disnterested
and judicial point Of view. We do not think
the Republicans should be unduly alarmed
by the election OF Mr.. Taggart as national
chairman.
