French Expert and Admirer of kuro
patkin CHANCES His Tone.

Paris, Sept. s.-The battle of Lao
Yang is absorbing public attention, and
the tone of the French military critics
has undergone a marked change. M.
Bernet, the military expert of the
Temps, who heretofore has been con-
fldent that Kuropatkin's strategy would
win the day, now makes comment in
dicating his belief that Kuropatkin's
defeat is irretrievable, and he says
this means that Russia will lose Man
churia and that it will be impossible to
relieve Port Arthur.
The prevailing comment of other mil
itary experts is In the same discourage
ing tone and the experts seem to be
agreed that the fall OF Port Arthur will
be speedy sequel. unless Kuropatkin

harness. The advantage claimed for
this novelty is that, besides protecting
the animals from the sun. it allows Il

during the week. The progress of the crop
toward maturity has been more uneven

thirds or more of the corn crop will need
