 This seems merciless, but battle movement Is without mercy. Even If 8 Japanese regiment were sent forward against a Russian position, and most of the men were killed and the others went struggling back to the front of the Jap anese line ready to charge, the retiring men must clear their own battle front or be sacrificed. Their presence be- tween the lines, however heroic they may have been In the fight, is to the disadvantage of their own main column going into battle,
 Several times in our civil war the sur viyors of regiments cut to pieces made a stubborn retiring fight under the i'm pressicn that they were playing the part of good soldiers But when 1t was made clear to them that their stubborn ness, heroic as it was, simply screened the enemy from the fire of five or ten thousand men waiting in line, they got out of the way quickly.
 Therefore, 1t may be admitted that Japanese soldiers in front of Port Ar thur raised a white flag, and fell before the fire of their own men as we'll as the Russians, without assuming that the flag of truce was abused, or that the rules of civilized warfare were violated It Is most probable, however, that Che foo has lied again, and that no cuch in cident of battle occurred.

 Mr. Wright was sent out to locate 1t and by following the State line he finally found 1t II is set in q rock base. which, though badly weathered, Is still above ground. In raised letters oil the south side c; tte column is the word Kansas, on the ncrth side Nebras- ka, on the west laEt. or tho east AS derees north latitude.

more than the usual amount of money to move them. The requirements will be met, no doubt, but while the pro- cess Is going on money must necessarily bs higher and there can be no great activity in the stock market and no sustained advance in security values. 4 good part of the bank reserves in New York consist of deposits by in terior institutions and will presently be steadily drawn upon, though already the bank surplus is barely half what 1t was three weeks ago. The Govern- ment. which sometimes has been able to mitigate the severity of the strain, can do nothing this year; indeed, with Its revenues running very low 1t may have Itself to call on the banks for funds before many weeks. Late in the year there may be some gold com- ing from abroad in payment for cotton, but of other agricultural products there will be little to export.
 Altogether, then. it is the old story in a rather intensified form There is nothing new to be said, of course, of the causes that underlie this annual disturbance or of the various possi- bilities of ultimately removing them For the present we may only note that it Is upon us and prepare as best we can for its consequences, one of which began to natssialize last week when the rates for call loans in New York, after long resting at one per cent and less, rose at one time to 2 per cent, at which figure a fair amount of non- ey was taken.

THE OLD STORY.

Each summer of late we have been regaied with pleasant stories from the West to the effect that the bank |ers out there were coming into their
 own at last, that they were abun- dantly supplied with immediately available funds for local use and that consequently there would not be the old drain on Eastern money centres when the time for moving the crops arrived. And cacn fall the stories have been found to have little if any foundation and the Eastern banks have, had to bear the most of the bur- den again. We may now see that this year is to be no exception. Once more there must be heavy shipments of currency from New York to the in terior, with consequences in the coun- Itry,s general money market which must be reckoned with in all business 
 The completa statement of the Icondition of tine national banks, re-
 quired under the comptrollers Septem-
 her call, Is not yet ready. But enough has been disclosed to show that the Western banks gre not over1owing
 with money; in fact, as a rule their reserves are smaller than they were lin June. Evidently they have not been trying or llut been able to pre- pare themselves for the independent Icarrying of the crop business. With |all their boasting, when the pinch comes they are forced as usual to draw on the East, as may be seen in the loss last week of nearly eight and half million dollars in cash by the New York Clearing House banks This is
 two millions more than the most possi- nlistic predicted, and it car be attribu- Itfd to nothing else than transfers of money to the West. The familiar fall movement of currency has set in once
 more, and in mora than usual volume
 The dependence of the West having
 been shown to be about as great as
 usual, there are obvlous reasons why
 the volumne should be larger. One lonly need be mentioned--the fact that we are to have this fall the highest general range of prices for agricultural products that has been reached fol iyears, which will of course require

 Dr. Stephen J. Maher and Dr. Edward M, McCabe are expected home from Eu- rope this week. They have visited Ber- lin, Brussels and several other places At Amsterdam they were entertained by M.

Edward Downs when he was the American consul in that city, and upon a former visit Dr Maher made his acquaintance through Consul Downes. Dr. Maher was sin rather poor health when he went abroad, but Is now quite well.

THE wHIrE FLAG IN BATTLE.

1 It may be true that a Japanese de- l tachment at the head of an assaultine column displayed a white flag In token
 of surrender, and that it was not recog- nized by either Russians or Japanese. l It may be true that the men who dis playedthe white flag were killed by the
 cross fire of the main forces Joining in
 battle. However, this would not mean
 that a flag of truce had been abused, and that the rules of civilized warfare had been violated.
 The bearer of a white flag approach l ing fort cannot insist upon being ad-
 mitted. If he approaches the fort dur | ing an engagement, he goes forward at
 his own risk. Under the rules of war | it is not required that the firing cease on the appearance of flag of truce in
 battle. If the bearer of a flag of truce
 present himself during an engagement and is killed or wounded 1t furnishes no ground of complaint whatever. These
 are the rules governing the use of a white flag in battle, as summarized in
 Farrow's military encyclopedias, and there is reason for the rules.
 For example: II a column of five
 thousand men is moving to attack a fort, and few hundred skirmishers in front raise white flag as a token of
 surrender, the main column cannot re- gard the white flag, or suspend it's
 charge. The force in the fort cannot
 regard the white flag, because the main
 column of the enemy is pressing it's at | tack. * l The theory of war is that the slzir-
 mishers in advance, or the men of for
 lorn hope along the battle front, were
 not sent there to surrender, but to fight
 The theory is that, if too hardly
 pressed, they must fall back on their
 own reserves, or drop their arms and
 run into the line of the enemy. The momentum of battle cannot be checked that the fornalities of surrender may
 be observed
