bttles of our great war.
The farther the Japanese penetrate
into the interior without being able
to infiict any decisive injury upon it's
enemy, yet meeting heavy losses at
more embarrassing.
The fact that an army of equal or
superior numbers can outfank an
other does not imply success unless
that flank movement can be imme-
diately followed by the partial de-
struction or capture of the opposing
army.
We might instance parallel flank
menauvers and retrograde movements
to illustrate this fact. Lees army
outflanked McClellan's at Gaines
Mills. raised the siege of Richmond,
forced the army to retreat in seven
days desperate BATTLES, but was
whipped at Malvern Hill.
In 1863 Lee turned the flank of
the army of the Potomac, causing IL
to retreat from Virginia through
Maryland, but Gettysburg followed.
In 1864 Hood outflanked Thomas,
causing him to retreat to Nashville,
where Hoods army was practically
destroyed. The same year Grant re-
peatedly outfianked Lee, causing the
latter to slowly retreat from the
Wilderness to Petersburg, but not,
however, without suffering a greater
loss in the series of battles in killed,
wounded and captured than Lee had
in his whole army at the opening of
the campaign.
The attacking or invading army
may always be expected to suffer far
greater loss. The loss to the Jap
anese must have been quite severe,
but the war appears now to be fairly
opened and sharp campaign with a
series of desperate and destructive
battles must follow. The occupation
of one village, town or position after
another, even Mukden. is of no great
Importance since the line of railroad
between Port Arthur, Newchwang
and Hardin was severed.
The Japanese army is being drawn
farther from it's base, and should 1t
penetrate the interior far enough to
threaten the line of communication
between Hardin and Vladivostok,
then will commence the struggle for
Russia's last and most important
Pacific port. more valuable than Sc
bastopol, the terminus of the great
trans-Siberian railway, and a sec

NEW YORK, Sept. AFTER seven
long months, the powerful armies OF
two strong nations are confronting
each other.
The principal features of the war
thus far have been the series OF mis-
fortunes and disasters on sea to that
portion of Russia's navy In Asiatic
waters, without INJECTING any serious
damage to Japan's naval power.
This has not resulted entirely from
superior craftsmanship or seaman
ship on the part of the Japanese for
there have been skill, fortitude and
undaunted courage on the part OF the
Russians.
They were, however. contending
against a superior force, and good
fortune has been on the side of the
Japanese.
The tenacity with which the garri-
son at Port Arthur has held out Will
ever be one of the glories of the race
ana nation, yet, as / stated some
months ago, that stronghold Is
doomed.
The japanese could easily have oc-
cupied its approaches and in time
compelled its surrender without the
loss of life, yet their impatient pur-
pose to take that harbor with Its for
tifications either by assault or rapid
siege is evidently quickened by their
desire to prevent its being used az
q possible place Of refuge for tho
Baltic fleet.
Another singular feature of this
war has been the fact that the land
batteries at Port Arthur have been
enabled TO hold at bay the entire
Japanese navy. yet in all the combats

Now, Professor links was 35. He
had one of those plastic countenances
of mummy-like expression. His
mouth was a slit. His nose came to
sharp point and his little blue eyes
blinked DULY under lashless lids. He
had no distinct eyebrows and his face
was a parallelogram. He was neith-
er tall nor short and weighed some
ninety-odd pounds. The wags of the
college called him the human spike"
1t was a particularly bright June
morning that Professor links start
ed from the lecture hall to his study.
He had just finished his last lecture
on the evolution of the pterodactyl
and was bordering on the three
months vacation at hand. He had
thought of going to Alaska in search
of a strangely elusive glacial STRAIT
UNI. His physician, however, had or
dered him to the seashore, with the
warning that he could not go on with
his classes unless he took a complete
mental rest.
A mental rest was beyond the pro-
fessor's Imagination. How could he
divorce himself from the 'ologies :?
Still he had just been appointed to
the chair and could not bear the
thought of abandoning the post.

The professor started and turned
to see a dashing young woman dis

teeth, the brighter because of the
wealth of golden hair that crowned
the fair head. Any man with red

To retreat without losing either

army has been a characteristic of
the Russian. The successful maneu-

That night when Professor links
sought his couch his head was in a
whirl. He got out his shortened

the characters and figures danced all
over the page, to be finally wound

golden hair, or else swallowed in a

Though often absent minded, the
professor was methodical to fault
and never failed to arrange his
clothing with geometrical precision
before going to bed. This night,
however, he caught himself placing
his watch beneath the bed and his
shoes under the pillow. Then he did
something that would have scandal

the faculty. He kicked himself in

threw himself down.
But little sleep came to him that
night The walls seemed covered
with strange words and phrases and
the ticking of his match marshalled
forth impossible idioms that pounded
and throbbed on his brain. There was
a magical suggestion of feminine
daintiness about them nevertheless
that took off the rough edges and
made them seem the purest of liquid
English to him.
That inetfible germ had attacked the
very fiber of his heart and that il had
taken deep root was shown the next
morning, when he fairly rushed to
the dining room and nervously looked
over the sea of faces. He did not
have long to look. for his ears were
suddenly delighted with a rustic, n

lowed by a thrilling: Hello, Prof,

but they, like himself, were merely
mental receptacles, utterly lacking in

of femininity. Those who possessed

The casualties at Lioa Yang are re-
ported to reach the enormous total
of 10000 day. In this respect, too,
it is one of the most notable battles of
history.
In point of killed Thermopyle holds
first place. Leonidas and 300 Spartans
died to a man in attempting to hold
the pass against the Persian invasion.
At Marathon 6400 were killed out
of 10000 engaged-a marvellous loss
when the effectiveness of the weapons
is considered in comparison with the
modern death machines.
At Bunker Hill, out of 5000 British
troops engaged, 1854, including officers
were killed. The Americans lost $50,
including their commander, General
Warren.
At Austerlitz the allies lost $4,000
and the French 1900.
At Plevna the Russians were Ie-
pulsed three times, losing 10000.
At Waterloo the French losses were
