I'm on his famous ride from Fairfax
station to Winchester to win back q
battle that was lost lives In Warrens-

name Is George Mixell, says the Chicago
Chronicle. This incident is the old vet
Grams most treasured memory OF the
war and he delights to tell how he sent
Sheridan galloping down the Shenan-
aoah valley at two o'clock in the morn
ing OF October 10, 1864.

and Col. Charles Albright commanded

Winchester. In old Virginia Near

Winchester. in West Virginia.
you know Sheridan left his army to
visit Gen. Grant and have a conference
with him. He did not think Early, the
confederate leader, would surprise and
rcut his army; be didn't think Early
was strong enough. So he took plenty of
time and was in no hurry to return to
his command. That is why he came by
Fairfax station.
1T happened that was on guard duty
at the headquarters OF our colonel the
evening Sheridan arrived at the station.
Col. Albright had his headquarters in
large house near the railroad and 1
patrolled the porch.
when Sheridan arrived he was alone
and came UP on a black horse, not a
large one, but magnificent animal full
OF spirit and splendidly proportioned.

started to pass me, but stopped him,
not knowing who he was, but just then
my colonel came out and welcomed him
and saluted
He spoke 20 me pleasantly. and that's
probably what gave me courage to do
what did later Sheridan went into
the house and was soon in bed, 1 guess,
for 1t was late when he came. I contin-
ued my watch without anything unusual
happening until about two o'clock in the
morning, when sounds Of cannon firing
came from the direction Of Winchester
and some other sentry called to me that
he thought Sheridan's army was In a
night battle.
II knew this was unexpected and
something told me to call my colonel

what was wrong, and told him. He

see the disruption OF the Chinese en-
pire. Lord Curzon put the case tersely
when he said: 1T is only In the east,
and especially in the far east. that We
may still hope to keep and create open
markets for British manufactures.
Every port, every town and every viii
lage that passes into French or Russian
hands is an outlet lost to Manchester,
Bradford and Bombay"
Russia is not competitor with the
other nations of Europe in the worlds
markets. She wants only exclusive
markets, and TO get these she must con-
troll territory. The development of ST.
IBERIA lacks nothing but market for its
products. What better is at hand than
North China. French politicians at
least are willing to help Russia get what
she wants il in turn she may have her
pick of the southern provinces border
ing her already large interests in Cochin
China. But republican France is not
SO easily handled as a more stable
monarchy. The intentions of the French
politicians may be all right, but Russia
mistrusts the temper of the French peo-
pie. The military alliance with that
country cannot be counted upon too
strongly for such a purpose as the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire in
opposition to the wishes of Japan and
the United States, and so Russia has
curried favor with Germany, who COW

Russia is willing to grant in return for

but she will probably be quite generous
In promises if such are necessary.
The smaller nations of Europe which
can in no way hope to profit in territory
by the distribution of China at the hap~

the struggle she is making. but, like the
United States, their help can go no fur

Thus it is that Japan is left virtually
