LIao Yang Falls and the Russians Flee
Persued by the Japs.
The Japanese left began pressing the
Russ ans toward Tatzho at dawn this
(Friday) morning. The Japanese right
is engaged in the neighborhood of
Heiyingtai.
The news that the city of Lao Yang
has fallen and the Russian army re-
treated to the right bank of the Taitse
river reached only small section OF
the people of st. Petersburg at late
hour and caused intense excitement
and disappointment.
Thursdays dispatches indicated that
the tide OF battle around Lao Yang
had turned appreciably in favor of the
Japanese. With n tremendous and sus-
tanned assault on his right and center
and threatened in his rear by heavy
force, which had crossed the Taitse
river, Kuropatkin was forced to aban-
don Liao Yang and cross the Taitse
river.
\ st. Petersburg dispatch says his
order was given last night after the
Russians had WithstOod an artillery
and infantry attack from dawn to mid
night. but that the Japanese pressure
was too great to permit its being exc
cuted. Kuropatllin probably fearing
that a retrograde movement at that
time might result in rout. y dis

Hospitality One virtus.


The people have some virtues; hos
pitality is one of them. though he leans
upon q reed who accepts at its face
value the ancient tradition about the
sacred character of the guest. They
treat their women and slaves welI-and
very much alike. Nothing. though. is
to be said Of their intellect and less OF
their morals. Lying is so common that
the truth is curiosity; the Arabs and
Berbers rarely permit themselves any
indulgence in its use. Crimes of vlo-
lence excite no attention Whatever.
II is a country of contrasts. Gerhard
Rohlfs. a German scientist. who travel
ed through the country. from one end
to the other. has contributed to the
worlds stock Of information about Mo-
rocco many anecdotes Of it's people
which illustrate better than any effort
at detailed description yhe national pc
culiarities.
Rohlfs was determined to see the land
and he saw It. To his scientific at
tainments and the zeal of the explorer,
he added a fine unscrupulousness that
relieved him OF the burden of hesitation
in the selection of means. He always
adopted that one which would best serve
his immediate purpose, without regard
TO its moral value. When he started
out from Tangier 1t was in the guise
and garb OF a convert TO the Mussul-
man faith. which he continued to prac-
tice and profess, with unabated zeal and
ardor throughout his wanderings. For
more than two years he lived this life.
The Vanished Illusion.
His first travelling companion contrib
uted to the loss OF one OF his cherished
flusions-that relating to the sacred
ness of comradeship and the relation
of host and guest. Rohlfs' capital con-
sisted OF an English five-pound note
which he had secured in the voluminous
folds OF his turban. Upon a day when
the minarets of a town appeared in
the distance Rohlfs was left behind
while his companion went on 10 recon
hotter. carrying the turban with him.
When he disappeared IL was forever.
Wandering on through the desert,
Rohlfs ran across the camp OF a vener-
able sheikh. who heard his tale with ev-
cry evidence of the sincerest sympathy
The guest was the apparent hero OF
the hour. His host regaled him with
tales of the plains and with stately leg
ends of the past glories OF the race. All
that the camp afforded was at his com
mand.
Melted by such consideration. Rohlfs
was even led to cOnfide TO the sheikh,
who heard with grave courtesy, the
hiding place Of his little STOCK os silver
dollars. acquired since the desertion OF
his comrade, and also concealed in his
turban. When he left the carp the aged
gentleman of the desert bestowed his
benediction, and insisted that RohIfs

OF similar character, and his thrilling
escapes from what appeared inevitable
death are melOdramatic in their inten-
slty OF interest He kept on, however
and at the end OF his journey Of nearly
three years reached the French settle
ments In Algiers.
Sands Hide Grim Stories.
Travellers without number have suf-
fered the same fate as Rohlfs and
many a fate much more dreadful. These
latter have started out with brave
hearts and high hopes across the desert
and the desert sands have hidden their
bodies from sight. The constant minor
revolutions and revolts of the country
afford sufficient eXcuse-if excuse We're
needed-for the transformation of shep-
herds and tillers of the soil into ban

proved manner of replenishing their

from Spain he banished a civilization
higher than any to which his own peo-
pie had ever attained. Indeed. chivalry
was gift of the Moors TO Europe, and
most OF the rough edges that had been
taken off the Spanish character had
vanished in the process of friction with
the Moorish invaders.
Since then the attitude Of the Moor
toward the Christian has been one Of
sullen dislike. In the cities Moslem and
Christian. Jew and pagan mix and
mingle in a motley mob. fighting and

In the interior the life of the unpro-
tected intruder is not worth a moments
purchase. Fanaticism IS the keynote Of
the situation, intensified by the memory
OF the old revolt against Spanish intus-
tice and oppression.
The truculent bigotry Of Philip has
never been forgotten. It IS q legend
that when the Moorish nobility left
Spain, urged by the lances of Philips
knights. they carried with them the
keys OF their stately palaces, and be-
queathed these emblems of ownership
to their descendants. The story may
not be true literally. but at any rate
II illustrates point of view and ex-
plains an attitude.
Fanaticism the Curse.
Fanaticism and this brooding sense of
wrong, with other Influences. have
brought Morocco TO where 1t is today.
Some Of the mosques and palaces, many
hundreds OF years old, are models and
marvels Of grace and beauty, but their
counterparts are not being built and
the old structures, with their magnid-
cent friezes and tapestries. are crumb-
ling into the dust OF oblivion. The trav

HAPPENINGS OF TIE WEEK FROM TIE NORTH END

The rOoi was torn oh the Bungalow cafe, and the large ramada on F.. F. Pellets place was completely rassd and his loss oi hay was consider able. W. k. rost's small dwelling was torn to piece. and entirely demolished. Mr. ] G Ellis suffered small damage by the wind, the porch of his building having been looscned from the house. In several instances people just missed being injured, but fortunately with all the stotm no one was hurt. The dam age la hay around Brawley was great.
 The Hotel Bungalow is ,o be rebuilt right away. NIT. Paulin has ordered the lumber, and as soon as this IS on the ground, work will commence. It will k made larger. covering the lot formerly occupied by McGre's barber shop. The old adobes will be used again, as they make a gOo'l solid wall, and the general plan oi the new struc- ture will be similar to the old one, having open courts between the main buildings. There is no doubt that the new Bungalow will be better finished inside and out than the former one was. The construction will be done by day work, and under the direction of Walter Brown. Mir.
