Viccroy Alcxien's decision to trans
FER his headquarters from Port Arthur
To Hardin is proof of the unreadiness
of Russia for an aggressive campaign
nj this time, The change amounts to
a retreat; and as such It clearly proph.
estes a long war. Japan. to advance
probably into Manchurla. must nj
least reduce Port ARTHUR and should
capture Nladiyostock. Russia's pur-
pose evidently is TO avail herself OF
her ~inexhaustible resources, to wait
until an army can be modified vastly
superior In number to Japan's. Thus
Il appears that both countries will be
unable TO bring about a decisive test
until well along in the summer months.

 The council has adopted reso- lntion under which they can fill vacancies occurring in that body.
