Strength is one Of the distinguishing
attributes of healthy man. In one Of
the most beautiful poetic flights known
to literature, the inspired singer finds no
finer figure to express the suns majestic
rising than "rejoicing like a strong man
to run a race"

But what are the doctors doing all this

RUSSIA READY FOR LONG WAR
Plans Being Hurried for Sending Army
of 100000 Men to the Far East.


of 100000 Men to the Far East.
Russia is preparing for two year
war with Japan, and IL necessary an
army of 10000 men will be sent to the
Far East to overawe China. to guard
railway communications, relieve Port Ar
thur, and drive the Japanese armies into
the sea. The war temper of the Russian
empire has been thoroughly aroused by
the succession of reverses in Manchuria.
Military men are no louder than civilians
in demanding revenge for the defeats on
land and sea. Tha cry is for more
troops" more troops" Plans are be-
ing hurried at the War Department in
st. Petersburg Tor the mobilization OF
the entire body of Russian reserves.
Official reports received at st. Peters
burg admit that the Russians lost 100
men, killed or wounded, in battle with
strong japanese force near Kinchou.
Brigadier General Nadein was one of
the Russians wounded.
AT Toxic it is officially denied that a
japanese army was repulsed north of
Fengwangcheng and pursued for fifteen
miles. Skirmishes are frequent in the
vicinity of Molten pass, but the Japan
csc say the soldiers defeated formed only
a small accommodating force.
Most European critics believe that
Japan's plan for enveloping Kouropat-
kin's army at Liaoyang has been relent-
lessly carried out. 1t is estimated from
the most reliable information at hand
that the Russians cannot put into action
above 100000 men. while the Japs will
be able to oppose them with fully 120,-
900 within few days. The expectation
is that if the Japs succeed in surround

doubtedly serious, are not regarded as
materially affecting the present situation.
The disaster has revived the project of
sending the Baltic feet to the Far East
in June, and has greatly revived public
feeling at St Petersburg. 1t also has
confirmed the Japs' determination to take
Port Arthur at an early date at any cost.
The most significant thing is Russia's
agitation of the Chinese scare. The
Russian authorities are seeking every

some Roman remains Of great value

floor Of a Roman room with q great

for the breaking OF prairie. This man

They do the work as well as it can be
