A Big Battle
Is Expected Soon

st. Petersburg, Oct. 12. - A battle
upon whihc the fate of this years Is
campaign in Manchuria depends seems
only few days ahead. According to
unofficial reports, Field Marshal Oya-
ma, at the first sign of General Kuro
patkin taking the offensive. began
drawing in his line and concentrating
upon fortified positions north of Lao
yang. According to the latest reports,
which are contained in dispatch to
the Associated Press from Mukden, the
Japanese outposts are being driven in
all along the line.
The strategy of the forward move
ment will be concealed, as were the
preparations for the advance, so that
all surmises as to where General kuro-
patkin intends to strike are mere guess
work. 1t is not clear whether General
Kuropatkin contemplates blow on
the left, center or right of the Japanese
army, but the fact that stress is laid
upon the capture of Bentsiaputze,
which opens the road and forts to Ben
sihu, 20 miles east of Liaoyang. where
General Kuroki crossed, and that Co.'S
sacks are already reported in the neigh
borhood of the stream, might fore
shadow an exact reversal of the battle
of Liaoyang, this time the Russian
commander fanking and turning Liao-
yang with his left, as Field Marshal
Oyama did with his right.

MEN WITH LONG HAIR.
When British Soldiers We're First
Forbidden to Wear Cur1s.

When British Soldiers We're First
Forbidden to Wear Curls.
Matthew Of Westminster tells US that
in 1927 Henry I. ordered all the sol
diers of England to cut their lair a
proper length and not wear 1t like Wo-
men. This custom Of wearing nair
like women rose, according to William
Of Malmesbury, in the reign OF Will
liam the red king. Young men, he
says, then endeavored to rival women
in delicacy Of person, to mince tnelr
gait to walk with loose gesture ana
half naked.
Anseln in 1902 enacted that clerks
who had long hair should be compelled
to have it cropped so as to show part
Of the ears and the eyes. William OF
Malmesbury does not mention the edlct
Of Henry T., but be relates that in 112s
a certain knight who prided himself
on the luxuriancy Of his tresses, having
dreamed that he was strangled by
them, cut them off Immediately on
waking.
This example, he adds, spread
throughout England, and almost all
military men allowed their hair to be
cropped q proper length. But, alas,
this decency did not continue long, for
scarcely a year expired ere all who
thought themselves courtly lapsed Into
their former folly, and those who had
no natural curls put on false ones

They Are q Valuable Aid and Guide
to the Travelling Public.
Robert Louis Stevenson, one Of the
most notable English writer's known
to the present generation, was wont to
say that nothing interested him more
than the perusal Of good map, and
without doubt map that is well made
and accurate catches the eye and ar
rests the attention of many people as
few other things can do.
The men in charge Of railway traffic
possess q most positive appreciation OF
this fact, and large expenditure OF
time and skillful thought is made on
this feature Of railway publicity.
Said an official Of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway while talking on
this subject: 'There Is no doubt tnat
the American railway map engraTer
has carried his art well nigh to the
borders OF perfection. I do not know
Of any road maps or Other detailed
data for the state Of Wisconsin, for
instance, that equal those published
by our passenger department, showing
the haunts Of summer tourists and fish
ermen. They are on file in public Il
braries as part Of their reference rec
ords. Other portions Of the western
country have been similarly taken up
by our people and maps Of most
complete character made for them
in fact, the western lines are fully
alive to the value Of good map In

Under the head of Auto Gossip in the

hills ought to be no obstacle. But

hills. OF course. their carriages Al
ways will-at least. as long as they
sell them. And in fact they will, for
they all will.
1t is my belief that the 1904 model OF
any American gasoline carriage will
climb our hills. They are all built with
more power in proportion to weight
than formerly. But even the older
models, properly handled, develop sur
prising power.
Now the little auto alluded to as
the first gasoline carriage owned
in this city. when it gets into Water
street, has to get out; and it has al
ways done it easily and without any
help. 1t has also climbed much hard
er hills than Rines' and Bridge. 1t has
only 81 horsepower motor. Over the
rough and very billy Readfield road the
carriage has a record of miles in 80
minutes. 2OA miles in l u hours.
