perhaps would be found sowing his seed

Nor is 1t necessary to visit the swamps
to be aware of the preparations for

that swelling buds give the branches

turning a golden yellow, and that many
Of the shrubs are taking on . purple

JAP WARSHiPS FARE BADLY.
Drydoeks Full of Craft Hit by Shells
of Russians.

Captain Ryan of the Canadian per-
manent forces has arrived in Seattle
from Japan, en- route to his home at
Ottawa. after spending some months
in Toxic as the representative of the
Canadian militia. He was detained in
Toxic with other foreign attaches and
He says the Japanese
counters with the Russian war vessels,
and that all the drydocks and repair
ing harbors in Japan are full of Jap
anese war vessels in various stages of
repairs. One big cruiser. which was in
the great naval battle off Port Arthur,
had all her tunnels shot away and rs
holes in her hull.
Captain Ryan reports that the jap
anese themselves admitted gross blum
dering in allowing loaded transports
to leave Japan for Korea and other
points without proper escort, and that
the raids of the Vladivostock fleet fill
ed all Japan with intense alarm.
The report circulated by the Japan
ese war officers that the unexpected
stubbornness of the Russians in the
recent fighting is due to the improve
ment in rifle shooting and steadiness
in the troops, Captain Ryan says, is
false, as the Japanese are well aware
of the fact that they are now confront
ed with regiments straight from Eu-
rope, and not undisciplined, raw levies
of Siberian peasants hastily hurried to
the seat of war. He speaks bitterly
of the treatment accorded the attaches
and correspondents.
