TOO HOT FOR THE JBPS.
AFTER CROSSING THE YALU

They Attack the Russians, But Are
Forced to Retreat-A japanese
Transport is Reported Sunk
By the Russians.

Liao Yang, April 27.-The Jap
alese troops which crossed the yalu
North of Euitjiou charged, during
the night eff April 1927, the Russian
position near Lizavena, a village on
the Manehurian bank of the Yalu.
They were repulsed, but their loss is
not known.
Two gunboats steamed up the river
to the support of the japanese when
a Russian field battery at Amisan
opened upon them, resulting in a
duel which lasted for twenty min
utes. The Russian fire was too hot
and the gunboats were forced to turn
and steam out of range.
The japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the
island of Samalindo.

these movements.

THE BOAT.

1t is not unlikely the RussO-Jap-
anese war will efford results of such
a nature as to cause a variation from
the present naval programmes that
is mapped out by the leading pow
ers of the world.
Heretofore the torpedo boats
value has been largely theoretical
and while it appears in all the mod
ern navies, the battleship has been
reckoned the real reliance. Events
in the East have shown that one
match for a great battleship, and as
torpedo boats cost only a few hum
dred thousand dollars and battle
ships seven or eight millions, the
nations may well pause before en-
trusting too much to a single vessel.
The United States navy is increas-
ing very rapidly in strength as naval
strength has heretofore been reck-
oned by naval experts. In fighting
efficiency it is the third navy of the
world. The naval officers are pro-
gressive and alert and they certainly
ought to be able to perceive as quick
~ as English, German or French
experts the necessity for deviatirg
from the present system of navy
building.
If the torpedo boat has a value,
and it may now be assured that such
is the case, the style of fighting it in
wolves would appeal to the Ameri-
can spirit. No navy has so dashing
and courageous a personnel as this
country.

CHARACTER OF AARON BURR.
Man Of Great Force But Lacking in
Moral Attributes,

Man Of Great Force But Lacking in
Moral Attributes.
Most people agree that from the
time Alexander Hamilton fell in the
pistol duel at Weehawken, N. j.,
Aaron Burr was doomed to an immor-
tality of infamy. For, according to
one recent critic. both as n man and
as politician he was bad, however
successful his twentieth-century
friends-who have begun crusade
to rehabilitate him in the esteem OF
the public-may be in convincing the
world that he did not plot to disrupt
the American union. There are too
many documents abroad providing
Burr to have been a singularly bad
man to make 1t possible even to deny
his utter lack of character"
As early as 1856, when he was a
baby of only thirteen months. his own
mother wrote this significant descrip.
tion of him: Aaron is a little dirty,
noisy boy. He begins to talk little:
is very sly and mischievous. He has
more sprightliness than Sally, his sis
ter, and most say he is handsome. but
not so good-tempered. He Is very
resolute and requires good governor
to bring him to terms" That very
good governor, his father. who might
have made such difference in the
life OF the lad. was only a few months
later taken out of the world. His
mother also soon died.
However. despite all that has been
written of the mans shortcomings,
there was in his heart space for very
beautiful devotion to his daughter
Theodosia. No more exquisite fam
lily letters may be found anywhere
than those which passed between the
two.

BISMARCK AND THE KAISER.
Story Has II That Last Words Es-
changed Were In English.

T. p. O'Connor's London weekly. N.
A. p, learns from an old diplomat"
that the last words of the last inter-
view between the German emperor
and the late Prince Bismarck were
spoken In English. When the rupture
between the two appeared to be fna!
the iron chancellor went to the palace
to resign his seals of Office. The SUI
preme moment arrived and the chan
cellor thought that by tact and con
summate diplomacy he might even yet
succeed In bending that young man
as he afterward bitterly called hin
to his iron will. The sovereign and
his minister had, of course, conversed
in German. But when all was over
Bismarck said in changed voice
and in English: Then | am in your
way. sir?" And the German emperor
answered In one word: "Yes."
