Mighty Task of Reminding that City
Now Progressing Rapidly.
A short time ago one gazing over the
recently burned business heart of Balti-
more would have jumped TO the conclu-
sion that Baltimore had suffered an ire
parable loss. Before the view were
acres of ruined and dismantled build
ings, in and about which armies Of men
worked in an apparently aimless manner,
accomplishing nothing. Croakers said
the work of rebuilding the city was be-
ing conducted wrongly; that the city was
dead. But at last order has come out
of chaos and appreciable progress is be-
ing made in the work. So vast was the
task of rebuilding that it required months
to secure even q start upon the work

The great battle around Liaoyang

men engaged. the greatest in history
Both sides fought with desperate valor

The opposition to settlement based its
fight on the assertiop that the peace
terms voted on did not take care of the
unskilled laborers.
