According to the Bible, one language
was spoken by all races until the con
fusion of tongues" Following Biblical
tradition this language must have been
Hebrew assumed also to have been
the Language OF Adam and Eve An
other theory had it that Hebrew, Ara
bic and Cha1dee Were dialects or the
original tongue. The Persians claim
that there were three primitive IAN
euages, Arabic, the tongue used by
Satan in addressing Eve; Persian, the
language spoken by Adam and Eve
and Turkish, the speech used by the
arcllargel when he drove them out OF
paradise. This would leave Persian as
the tongue of primitive humanity. In
olGlen days many ingenious attempts
were made to settle the question by
excluding children from all human IN
tercourse and observing the result IN
the means of communication growing

responded to by a manual signal in

scientist also found that the speed or

In all three cases the distance travers-

inference is that the image travels

The escape of the army of Kuropat-
kin is undoubtedly great disappoint-
ment to Field Marshal Oyama, whose
| failure to make Liaoyang battle deci-
sive one must probably be set down to
the unexpected strength of the Russian
defense and the generalship of Kuropat-
kin. For weeks the war experts of the
world had been writing of Kuropat-
kin's grave peril AMI even in st. Peters
burg there were gloomy forebodings
of Overwhelmin disaster. If the Rus
SLAMS hoped for a decisive victory at
Liaoyang they disguised their hopes
amid sorrowful forecasts of crushing
defeat and if any of the critics of Eu-
rope looked to see the japanese hurled
back from Liaoyang, all Of them Sc
creted their expectation under columns
of the gravest apprehensions that Ku-
ropatkin would not save his army from
the outfanking movements of the Jap
anese, The Paris journals, Kuropat-
kin's most friendly critics, as long ago
as the end of July forecasted his retire,
ment as far as Hardin, where he is to
have 100000 men, say some of these ex-
perts. None seem to have had any
idea of a Russian final stand at such
point as LiaOyeng, and the mere fact
that Kuropatkin retired with honOrs
as even as he did shows lack Of inten-
ton to make a desperate stand. AS
the London Standard puts it, the Rus
sian plan shows a thoroughly we'll
handled rear-guard holding each posi-
ton just long enough to compel the
enemy to show his forces, but never
delaying sufficiently to risk the de-
moralization of a forced retreat" This
was written before the battle of Lao
yang. AS stated in the Star some time
ago, it is impossible to avoid noticing
remarkably CLOSE correspondence be-
tween the march of events and the Rus
