SAID TO HAVE COST JAPA-

Chefoo. Dec. 17.-Passengers who
arrived here during the day from the
Kwangtung peninsula confirm the
truthfulness of the official Japanese
reports of the sinking of various Rus
sian ships recently at Port Arthur
They say the Japanese would have
ben able to accomplish this in the
past two months. but apparently pre-
ferred to use their guns against the
Russian military forces. 1t is believed
the destruction OF the Russian ships
indicates that the Japanese have aban.
doned the hope of capturing the for.
tress, The Japanese lost three tor
pedo boats within the past month by
mines, the last one sinking during the
night attack of Dec. Ia on the Russian
battleship Sevastopol
The fighting during which 2o3 Metre
kll was capture was terrific, that
achievement alone costing the Japa-
nese 10000 casualties. The Japanese
have been unable to occupy the hill
except for observation. They have
taken none of the remaining forts.
Steamers laden with ammunition
and provisions ran the blockade of
Port Arthur in the past fortnight and
there are high hopes that the fortress
will hold out for many months. The
Japanese are alleged to be depressed
at their unsuccessful sacrifice Of lives.

lei. That serves It's purpose well; but
il seems particularly fitting that some
sort Of a memorial should be erected at
the place where Allen passed at least
a portion Of his life. This place hap
pens to be in Burlington farm just
north Of the city. This spot should be
the mecca for all patriotic Eermonters
and students Of history, as well. And
to properly designate the place suit
able memorial must be erected. This
work has been undertaken by the mem
bers Of the organization as stated above.
1T is likely that no state appropriation
will be asked but that the amount need
ed will be raised by means more arduons,
perhaps, but more patriotic. They
should have hearty cooperation. The
work has been started BY w. ]. Van

The Vermont division, Sons Of the

worthy work in setting on foot pro-
iect To erect a memorial to Ethan Allen
who was such 4 familiar figure ii The
early history Of the state. Too little
attention is paid nowadays to honoring
the memory OF those who were respon-
sible for the inception Of the common
wealth Vermonters are not sentiment
a in this respect. Indeed, there is too
little sentiment. Things are taken too
much % matter Of course. and this
IS not because Yermonters are not ap.
preeiatiye. They do feel a pride in the
acts Of the hardy people who fought for
the upbuilding Of the state. There Is
not a native Vermonter and no adopted
son or daughter Of the state, whose
blood does not run swifter with the re-.
counting Of the heroic doings Of such
men as Ethan Allen, Remember Baker
and Seth Warner And not one who is
not pleased to recount the valorous
