JAPAN REPORTS THAT
RUSSIANS WERE ROUTED
IN ENCOUNTER ON LAND

Toxic, Sunday. Feb. 2s.-The first shots
of the war on land were exchanged to-
day at Ping-Yang.
A small detachment OF Russian cavalry,
evidently scouts. appeared this morning to
the northward OF the town. The Japanese
outposts opened fire from a range Of LOO
meters (more than mile). and the
Cossscks retired.
The telegram reporting the incident
fails to mention any casualties. It is pre-
sumed there were none, on account Of the
small number OF men engaged, and the
distance separating the opposing armies.
1t is reported here that there will be a
small engagement soon somewhere in
Northern Korea, where the Russians are
scouting over an extended area, close to
the japanese positions. but a general en-
gagement is not expected to eesR Or

BETTER FEELING SHOWN
TOWARD RUSSIA SINCE
VICKSBURG INCIDENT,
REpuRLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Feb. 29-News that Count
Lamsdorff, Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs had asked Ambassador McCor-
mick to convey to Commander Marshall
of the U. S. s. Vicksburg that apprecia-
ton of the Russian Government for his
humane conduct toward Russian seamen
when the Variag was abandoned creates
better feeling here.
The entire administration learned to-
day with satisfaction that Russian au-
thorities would make q searching inquiry
for the source of the false report that
Commander Marshall refused to assist the
helpless Russians.
The harsh tone of the Russian press to-
ward the United States as result of this
false report has made the Washington
Government apprehensive.
Several nigh administration officials
agreed to-day that it had seriously injured
good feeling between the people of the
two nations.
1t can be stated that the Russian author
tiles are inclined to believe that the ar
ticle was first sent out from the United
States. and that they suspect it was done
with an Interior motive. If n report so
dlscreditable to the United States came
from the United States the Russian press
would naturally regard it as authentic.
There is no use denying that at one time
there was more sympathy for Japan than
Russia, but the pendulum is now swinging
the ether way, and officials are open TO
conviction that this Government has less
to expect If Japan predominates in the
Orient than II Russia is victorious.

EXPERIMENT IN CARONDELET.

Through Which Sewage Flows
Said to Destroy so Per
Cent of All Germs.

Sewer Commissioner Valiant advocates
the installation of septic tanks in vari-
Gus small sewers in order to purify

By the use of septic tanks, which have
proved a success as near home as Ed

war, the result of which is that they
devour each other, leaving nothing but
pure water at the mouth of the sewer.
Septic tanks, according to the Commits
sioner, will do away with so per cent of
all foreign matter that flows through a
sewer. No chemicals are used, it being
a process which merely helps nature do its
work. It consists of a regulation of the
flow through a series of compartments,
which, when subjected to absolute dark
ness, causes absolute disintegration.
Paper. wood and vegetable matter fade
away. 1t is said, and the murky fluid un-
der the tanks influence becomes as pure
as crystal. The tanks are made at LIE
Claire, Ill, and. 1t is said, need cleaning
but once in two years.
The first tank to be installed in st. Louis
will be placed in Carondelet Park. This
will be Used as an experiment. 1t will be
built with a new sewer system, which is
to be constructed In the vicinity of the
park, bounded by Bowen street LouGh-
borough and Michigan avenues Plans for
the new sewer will be submitted at an
early meeting Of the Board OF Public I'M
provements.
Septic tanks are built of stone or cement
and are Theoretically sealed compartments.
The only secret in their makeup it is
said. is In the manner they are proper
toned to the amount of matter that IS to
pass through. They are impracticable
according to the Sewer Commissioner. for
the larger sewers of the city. but are ex-
cellent where sewers have dry mouths at
periods of the year. especially where sew

the case of the proposed Carondelet Park
tank. which would empty into a tributary

The Deputy bitterly asailed Marine Min

Premier Combes insisted that the inter-
pellation be postponed. He declared the
navy was ready to fulfill every require

sumed full responsibility for this declara-
ton. As It was a question beyond that
which any one Minister could answer, he
asked for a postponenient. not through
any fears of results, but because the oppo-

entire range of exterior questions. The
Government did not consider the moment

SAYS MEN BEHIND GUNS
ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
p .essor Woodward Declares Dis
.yalty of Russians Is Their Fa-
tai Weakness in War.

"Russias fatal weakness in the present
struggle with the Japs in the far East is
the fact that her men behind the guns
are not to be trusted" declared Professor
Calvin NJ. Woodward. president of the
Board of Education. last night.
Professor Woodward made the statement
in summing up the salient points made by
the speakers discussing the British and
Russian policies in the Orient before a
meeting Of the Current Topics Club at the
Central Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion
In contrasting the policies of England
and Russia in the far East, Professor
Woodward declared that the armies and
civilizations of the countries stand face to
face all along the Asiatic frontier.
Speaking of the conflict between the
Russ and the Jap, Professor Woodward
declared that the Russians are slow, lack
loyalty and patriotism. and fight without
zeal or enthusiasm, which he asserted
were fatal weaknesses. The Japs have
all the Russians lack. and therein lies
their strength. Professor Woodward said
that, while Russia has splendid material
'the men behind the guns are not to be
trusted"
Clarence T. Case discussed the British
policy in the far East. He declared Eng
land has done more good in her COLOMBIA
ton methods than any other nation in
the world. Commercialism is the motive
that causes England and Russia to strug-
gle for the supremacy-England for the
open-door; Russia for the closed port. The
vital question is: Which shall dominate?'
He predicted that the British conciliatory
policies would eventually dominate the
world.
]. Lonberger Davis said that Russia's
policy is to control the unfrozen sea;
that she is working to that end with a
characteristic continuity of purpose that
is remarkable. Her fatal weaknesses are
lack 2 money and of that substantial
middle class that makes nation great,
