The Russians in carrying on war on
the Pacific coast, more than 1000
miles from their supplies of men and
materials, all of which must be for
warded over one single-track railroad,
have a problem unique in the history
OF war, and their success or failure in
1t deserves, and doubtless will receive,
the attention of all students in the art
OF war. Before the completion of the
Siberian railroad, in the face Of an
enemy as powerful as Japan is now,
for the moment superior at sea, it
could have made practically no de-
Tense. Even If sufficient army could
have been placed in Manchuria, 1t

Some two years ago, before war was
seriously thought of, 1t was determ-
ined to replace the 51-pound rails with
65-pound rails west of Lake Baikal,
and otherwise to strengthen the road !:

which limited the number of trains,

The recent theft of six cannon from

known the existence of that establish

wondered why they had never heard

Made Change in Tune

This talk that has been going on
in the house about lynchings," said
Col" Bill Sterrett, who drifted into
Washington from Texas, reminds me
of thing that happened down in my
state few years ago. Jim Hodges, a
local orator, was just coming into his
house when his boy rushed out and
yelled: Pop. they're goin' to lynch
a niger over by the clearing!'
Jim jumped on his horse and rode
like mad for the scene of trouble.
They had the niger on a platform
and were just getting ready for the
final act when Jim burst into the
clearing and checked his foam-fiecked
horse. 'Stop!' he yelled, with an i'm
perious wave of his hand.
Everything came to a dead stop
and Jim, springing upon the platform
began a speech that promised to
break all oratorical records.

How Light Should Fall

1t is almost universally believed
that the best form of reading lamp is
one which, by means of an effective
shade. concentrates the greater por-
ton of the light upon the reading mat
ter. Furthermore, the lamp is usually
one Of the "drop-light" sort, which
brings the fame near and below the
readers eyes. The result sought after
is, that much light be precipitated on
the page, and on the page only, while
the surrounding parts of the room
be weakly Illuminated, even to
gloominess.
