A Russian Troop Train.

We give below a translation made es-
peclally for The Times-Dlspatch from, q
Russian revolutionary journal, ''1,he
Latest News which is printed in Ger
neva, The article shows how. little; the
private soldier In the Russian army cares
for the wrlrs that is now being fought.
But we hardly agree that the private
soldiers or such men as General Stoes-
sci have shown themselves towards. Tho
difference between the attitude OF the
Russian women and the Japanese Is strik-
ingly shown by the fact that the Rus
sian. wives OF soldiers going to tho front
committed suicide before the train In
their ,nin endeavors to stop It; while,
when a Japanese is conscrlpted his wife
hangs out a flag as a sign Of joy and
is congratulated and envied by her sis
ters, The article is as follows:
ut may be unique In the history Of the
world, that any nation or tribe should
be so dlsloyal to its ruler and unpatriot-
ic to It's country as the Russian in at
titudo and action towards the present
war.
Patriotism is practically petri1c1 and
loyalty shrunken In tho characteristic to
the Russian cowardice. From generals
to soldiers, bankers to paupers, manufac-
turers to the working men, all unani-
mousy, as though pre-arranged. criticlse
the adventurous polite, and at times
speak even with threats about the war
that Is crowned with so many defeats.

are skeptlcal in belief as to The Russian

A BOYS LIFE.
n, ], Judge Holds II Is Twice as
Valuable as Girls.

New York, May IA boys life is
twice as valuable as that OF girl aC-
cordng TO decision by Judge Adams
Of the Essex county circuit court, at
Newark, n, j.
Further II was held that 5000
awarded to the ia Their of Evan f. j.
Eastwood, killed IN a grade crossing
trolley accident, In not excessive, but
verdict Of 5000 awarded to the father
0f the girl was reduced by the court to
5000, although the girl, Ella Werpupp,
was said by many to be the most beau
titu girl In Newark and accounts Of
the accident In which she was killed
contained many tributes Of love and es-
teen from her teachers and school fell
lows
The damage suits grew out Of the
Clifton avenue trolley accident of Feb
10, 1903, IN which nine high school pu-
pills were killed,
When the cases We're tried the trolley
company acknowledged its liability, and
the jury was asked simply to fix the
amount Of damages to be paid In each
case, the only testimony taken being
to show the character of the deceased
and the estimated future earning capa-
city Of each, In each case the trolley
company applied for rule to show
cause why new trial should not be
granted on the ground that the dam
ages awarded were excessive.
In announcing his decision Judge
Adams pointed out that In each case
the only question to be considered by
the jury was the amount recoverable,
according to the Interpretation OF the
statutes In each. he said, this was the
probable pecuniary value TO the parent
Of the one whose life had been ended.
A woman may become a bread winner,
he said a man must be one. The find
ing was made in accordance with the
Judges idea.
