Two Japanese Campaigns.

The Independent" wonders if in
Russian war college text books there
Is no chapter dealing with the Man
churian war of ten years ago, when
Japan so signally overwhelmed Chi
na; and after reading the paralleled
events Of that contest and the pres
ent one, which japan is waging
against Russia, one joins the 'IRde-
pendent" in its wonderment
In both campaigns Japanese troops
landed in Korea at Fusan, Wonsan,
and Chemulpo. and occupied Seoul.
After engagements at Ping-Yang, the
enemy in each instance retreated to
the Yalu River, followed by the Japa-
nese. who fortified Wiju. Then in the
Chinese war the naval battle at the
mouth of the Yalu River was fought,
in which eight Chinese vessels were
sunk or disabled.
After this engagement the parallel
continues, the Japanese crossing
the Yalu and attacking the enemy's
left flank by fording the Al River
and carrying the heights Of Kullen-
Cheng. Both the Chinese and the
Russians retreated to Feng-wang-
cheng. From there the Chinese and
Russians again retreated without a
fight toward Mukden, fortifying the
pass of Mao-Tien. Feng-wang-cheng
then became the Japanese base of op-
erations, and troops were sent west
ward by three roads.
In both wars General Nodzu led
the march from Takushan. which in
the Chinese war was occupied by a
division sent from Feng-wang-cheng.
and in the Russian war directly from
the sea- IN each campaign battle
was fought at Siuyen, and the enemy
retired to L Chens.
In the meanwhile the campaign
against Port Arthur had begun by ar
ni15 y'hici .aIldsi On ths eaet coast
of the Liao-Tung peninsula, near
Pitse-Wu. In each war Kin-Chou
neck was captured after a battle.
Talienwan was taken in both wars,
and Dalny in addition in the Russian
war, and the seige Of Port Arthur en-
tered upon. The stronghold was cap
tured by the japanese in three weeks
in the Chinese war, but 1t has proved
a more difficult undertaking in the
present conflict.
In both wars the japanese landed
still another force at Kin-Chou, at the
head of the Gulf of Liao-Tung. and
this advanced northward. In the
Chinese war a decisive battle was
fought at Hai-Cheng, which caused
the Chinese to open peace negotia-
tions. In the war of today, the Japa-
nese defeated the Russians at
Wafang-Kao, and the Russian army
is at present concentrated around
Hai-Cheng. in, the midst of the rainy
season, threatened by the japanese.
both front and rear. and at several
points on the left flank.
II is extraordinary that two wars
should be fought with identieally the
same strategy. but IL is even more ex-
traordinary that the losing side in
the second war should permit itself
TO be victimized by precisely the same
devices that won in the first war.

Cure for Diptheria.

A few years ago when the dreadful
disease was raging in England, very
simple aud rapid remedy for it was,
it is said, discovered by the celebrated
DR.. Fields. He put a teaspoonful of
flour cf brimstCne into @ wine glass
of water and stirred it with his finger
instead of a spoon as the sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water
When the sulphur was we'll mixed he
gave it as gargle and in ten minutes
the patient was out of danger. Brim-
stone kills all species Of fungi in man
beast and plant in a few minutes In
stead of splitting out the gargle he re-
commends the swallowing Of It. In
extreme cases in which he has been
called just in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closed to
allow the gargle, he blew the sulphur
through a quill into the throat and af-
ter the fungus had shrunk enough to
allow it, then the gargling. He never
lost patient from diptheria. In cases
where good medical aid is not at haud,
this simple remedy should certainly
be tried.-Ex.
