Russia's announcement that news
paper correspondents using the wire
less telegraph will, if caught, be
treated as spies, is not likely 10 make
other countries feel very sweet to-
ward her, inasmuch as most of the
reports which come from the East
are now gained by this means. 1t is
not likely that any of the correspond
enJs who are now using the wireless
telegraph to facilitate their work will
abas.don their methods because they
viii be hanged if caught, and their
capture may result in no end Of com
plicatiOns. The leading correspond
ents now in the field are, moreover,
English and American, and TO antag-
OniZe both these countries unneces-
sarily would seem to be a most fool
ish proceeding on the part of a coun-
try which has not thus far proved
herself particularly able in war. In
short, the order viii deepen the i'm

far to be productive of new things
in warfare. Dispatches from St.
Petersburg state that the Russian
government still insists that the
Petropavlovsk was blown up by run
ming against a Russian mine, though
there is a strong impression abroad
in London that a Japanese attack
was responsible for the disaster.
This is probably the first instance
on record of a government pre-
ferring to believe that the careless
ness or ignorance of its own men
rather than an attack by the enemy
caused reverses.

these artificial dividing lines are in the
majority of instances absurd, and it is
for their effect in destroying these lines
that the golf links are of admirable adj
vantage.
Women on golf links are said to be a
little inconsiderate. If they are ahead
and good players are coming up after
them they oblige them to wait until
they ask to be allowed to pass and then
give grudging assent. In small mat
tiers of this kind the game, which is a
leveler and promoter of social enjoy
inent, is also a means of small bicker-
ings, and in this the members of the
feminine sex are the worst offenders.
There is only one rule to follow, and
that is to put oneself in the place of
those who want to pass. Then the as
sent will be given with grace. and good
feeling will go hand in hand with good
manners.
