JAPs JUST TOOK A FEW NOTES
Then Engineered tho Scheme Tina
Brought Disaster to the Russians.

Then Engineered the Scheme That
Brought Disaster to the Russians.
The success of the system of placing
deadly counter mines is due largely to
a series of careful observations made
by the japanese during their previous
attacks on Port Arthur. The Japa-
nese saw the Russian fleet leave the
harbor and return to 1t several times
and they discovered that the Russian
warships followed an identical course
every time they came out or went in,
evidently for the purpose of avoiding
their own mines. The japanese took
bearings on this course. When the
destroyer divisions of the Japanese tor
pedo fotilla laid the counter mines dur
ing the night of April 12-13they placed
them along this course.
The weather of the night of April
1918 favored the work. There was
a heavy rain, the night was dark and
cloudy. and the Russian searchlights
playing over the channel failed to re-
veal the presence of the Japanese de-
etroyers- Rear Admiral Dewa was In
command Of the japanese squadron
which decoyed the Russian ships over
tie field Of mines. His squadron con-
sisted Of the cruisers Chitose, Yo1hipo
Kasad and Takasago, all pnarnn9tet
vessels, which presented temptfhl
bait for the heavier Russian ships.
Vice Admiral Togo directed the nanl
attack. He had the battleships Hat
suse, Mikasa. Asahi, Shikishima
yakhima and Full. He waited thirtl
niles out at sea until Rear Adrnifal
Dewa signaled him by wireless tele

WIRELESS MEN PROTEST
They Object to the Russian Decree-Uncle
Sam Is Thinking Hard.

Washington, April IS. = One of the
principal wireless telegraph companies
has filed at the state department an
energetic protest against the decree of
Admiral Alexieff that newspaper cor
respondents using wireless telegraphy
in the Far East during the war shall
be treated as spies. The state depart
ment is 10th to establish a precedent
by protest that might hereafter en-
barrass our own naval commanders.
The matter is said by a distin-
guished military officer here to en-
phasize the pressing need for an inter-
national agreement fixing precisely the
status of newspaper correspondents in
case of war; They have now no rights
except those accorded by the courtesy
of individual officers in the field.

KIRKLAND LIQUORS
 DESTROYED BY SHERIFF.

Under an order issued by Judge F. D. Fulkerson of the cir euit court the Kirkland stock of liquors, which was seized nearly three years ago under prohibit tion times as contraband goods, was destroyed Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock by Sheriff R. w. Randy.
 The confscation of these goods was carried to the supreme court, which body recently affirmed the decision of the lower court in or dering their destruction.
 The stock consisted of seven- teen barrels of whiskey, several barrels of bottled wines and thirteen or fourteen cases of beer, and has been stored in one of the downstairs rooms at the court house.
 Sheriff Randy directed the work of destruction and the odor of liquor from broken barrels could be detected several blocks away, attracting quite a crowd of spectators.
