dom, justice and peace. Here, in the
very room where the declaration Of in
dependence was adopted. the worlds en-
sign of peace for all nations had It's
birth. -. "- 0,,.-. ,.. H..
This white-bordered flag was adopted
the same year at the congress of the
peace societies Of the world in Rome, and
the following year by the conference IN
Berne, Switzerland. A prominent New
York doctor, who is an ardent advocate
of peace and believes in the white Dor
dered banner, has caused numerous
peace flags to be distributed among
representative persons and organtza-
tions. It is hoped that this will serve
to bring the flag before the public, that
thepeople may learn to love and identify
the idea Of peace with that of the flag.
The two largest and handsomest flags
yet made, one British and the other
American, with beautiful STATS sur
mounted by doves, we're presented to Mr..
Andrew Carnegie in honor of his ad-
mirable gift of upward of 100000 for
a peace cathedral to be built for the in
ternational court of arbitration at The
Hague.
The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton have presented the schools Of New
York with two magnificent peace flags
for the education and advancement Of
the peace movement, says the Herald.
These flags will be taken from school
to school and explained to the children.
It Is the aim of the peace societies IN
introducing the flags into the schools to
impress upon the minds Of the children
the sentiment of peace, together with
the feeling of patriotism.

" Lond0n.-ln Gen. Kuropatkin the
Russisns possess Z general OF the high

IN the great battle round Liaoyang,
hnd In the operations Of the two
months preceding 1t, he showed quail
ties Of generalship which, when they
.ars properly understood. will J. We be-
lieve, call forth universal admiration.
Consider what the task before Cen.
Kuropatkin was when he took up his
command. In the first place, he did
not come on the scene till thewar was
we'll begun, and so the conditions Of
action had been dictated for him.
The disposition Of the forces, naval
and military, and all the arrange
ments for supply, had been made, not
By him Or under his orders, but by
the viceroy, Admiral Alexieft, who,
whatever else he may be, is not q
strategist Of the first class. Gen.
Kuropatkin found himself, that Is,
called on to carry out another mans
Job" and Job which had been Ill
begun and worse planned. Though It
may be too much to say that all was
confusion and indecision at the front,
Il Ii certainly not too. much 70 say
that his first business whom he arrived
In Manchuria was to rearrange the
disposition Of his forces, to make pro-
vision for their safety: and emcient
supply, and to hold in check an enemy
whom he was unable to attack owing

fensive-always the most difficult op-
Grafton in war. And, difficult as de-
fensive warfare always is, Kuropatkin
chose its most arduous form. He did
moi, that is, retreat at once, gathering
his forces while the operation could
still be unopposed. to some strong po-
sition. but fell back gradually, disput-
ing the ground as he went. = For ex-
ample, his first act was to send force
SOUTH; which was apparently intended
to try to. relieve Port Arthur, but
which was far more probably meant
TO delay and hamper the Japanese ad-
vance, and so prolong as far as pos
sible the initial stages Of the war.
It may be that he was ordered by the
car to undertake the impossible task
# relieving Port Arthur but IL he
did receive that order, he used 1t so
skillfully that instead of producing a
disaster, as real attempt at relief
would have done, j. enabled him to
gain time for preparing defensive
position of immense strength at
Liaoyang. .,5t zj...- At. :. Co..
J., When the. tide of Japanese advance
swept over this first bulwark, and his
troops were driven out Of Newchwang,
the military situation had, from his
point Of view, distinctly improved. It
IL true that he was unable to hold the
lines around Liaoyang as Wellington
held the lines at Torres Vedras; but be-
fore he evacuated his prepared position
he forced the Japanese to dash them
selves against it in q IL days action,
which inflicted. at any rate, as great
. loss on the assailants as on the de-
tenders. l.. y. I. 4 -
It was, however, in his retreat from
Liaoyang, even more than in the bat
ties around 1t, that Gen. Kuropatkin
showed his military genius. He man
aged to withdraw his army In the face
Of the enemy's fierce assaults, and Of
their desperate attempts to turn his
tanks. ana also IN spite Of q difficult
country, and of roads deep In mud.
And this he did without any loss In
guns or prisoners that Is worth con-
sidering. It Is officially stated by the
Japanese that only 13 prisoners were
taken. II this is indeed the full tale,
It Ii without parallel In the history Of
war. An army retreating under at
tack. even when It's morale IL undis-
turbed. almost expects to lose prison
ers. owing to the fact that detached
bodies have necessarily to be left be-
hind to delay the enemy. The general
In retreat usually counts upon having
pieces shipped on the "fringes" Of
his force. That Kuropatkin suf-
tered no such loss IL = sign Of the
mastery way in which the retreat was
conducted.

oficials with view to determining their
application to officers of the army.
In accordance with the Recommended
ton Of the judge advocate general, Lieut..
Gen. Chaffee, chief Of stat, issued q cir
cular to officers and enlisted men Of the
army inviting their attention to section
1774 Of the Revised Statutes, which
statute provides as follows: 55-i IS,
"No officer, clerk or employee in the
United States government employ shall
at any time solicit contributions from
other officers; clerks or employees in the
government service for a gift or present
to those in q superior official position;
nor shall any such officials or clerical
superiors receive any gift or present Of
fered or presented to them as contribu-
ton from persons in government en-
ploy receiving a less salary than them
selves; nor shall any officer. or clerk
make any donation as gift or present
to any official superior. Every person
who violates this section. shall be sum-
marily discharged from the government
employ" s <
Gen. Chaffee says that this circular 10
issued by orderof the acting secretary
Of war, and adds: {. @.@ S
'''The foregoing enactment includes
within the statutory prohibition the So
Letting of contributions by one officer
or 'employe from other officers or en-
ployes Of the United States when such
contributions are to be used for the pur-
chase Of gifts or presents to those IN SUI
perior official position. The receiving.
Of presents by officers from their juniors

several staff departments also falls

which imposes the penalty Of summary

Merry Closing of HePpner schools
for Holidays.

The Heppner public schools closed
Tuesday for the holidays with appropri-
ate exercises.
Both teachers and students, in antic;
patton of a merry time, had been WORK
ing hard to make the exercises inter-
esting, and the result was merry time
indeed.
The intense interest taken by the
students made the work easier for the
teachers. There were large number
of visitors and all were highly pleased,
the older persons seeming to be en-
thusad with the inspiration Of childhood
which WAS everywhere apparent.
In order to furnish better accommo-
dations, exercises were held in everv
room. In Miss Cations room, the little
tots with sparkling eyes and faces of
real happiness were pleased with very
pretty Christmas tree covered with
presents and handsome decorations.
In Mrs. Freeland's room more of the
little folks vera entertained with a rea
live Santa Claus in all his splendor.
In the different rooms there we're ap-
propriate exercises for the older stu
dents which reflected credit upon bo'h
students and teachers.
The literary exercises were good.
While marked ability was shown, care
ful and system training by modern
methods was feature that was notice
able.
The teachers deserve great credit
In the selection Of nstructors. this CON-
munity is fortunate. Heppper should
feel justly proud of her public school.
