soldiers are not so efficient in the stress of bitter campaigns.
 Therefore, it may be assumed that Rus sia's policy will be to make the prelimi- nary campaign as bitter as possible, while she is hurrying more troops to the storm centres of war
 Briefly, the tactics employed during the Napoleonic invasion may be followed m miniature in the threatened invasion in case the Japanese make good their land ing It is possible. though not likely. that these tactics may govern even tAe Russian Navy.

 If this is the case. or if decisive nav al victory has given the Japanese the mastery of the seas, the landing may 5e effected at Chemulpo. which has a short and speedy railroad communication with Seoul, the capital of Korea, or even at or just below Wiju which is at the mouth of the Yalu River. the bouda"y mark between Korea and Manchurla. The latter course is the more likely if, in pursuance of the Scythian tactics al- ready outlined. the Russians abandon the entire peninsula to Japan and con- tent themselves with awaiting their foe

sweep the seas clear Of Russian ships. It is probable. therefore that the first shot will be fired on the sea.
 It is generally believed that the Japa- nese will be more effective on the seas. Her navy. as Senator Beveridge, an acute observer, has recently informed lis from personal observation. is one of the best fighting naval organizations in the world.
 Russias fleet likewise is a formida bic one. But the crews are yet untried in naval warefare
 The courage and determination of both combatants are acknowledged Physl- cally, the Russian is much the superior. He is giant among men, the Japanese a dwarf. But, to quote again a Japanese expert. Little men can shoot as well as big men, and big men offer the larger target"
 The Japanese undoubtably is the most imperLurbable, but the Russian carries in indomitable spirit and a stedfast faith in God and the Czar beneath extraordi- nary cheerfulness of exterior. The Japanes, Spartan as he may be in comparison with most European nations. is an epicure. even a glutton, in compari- gon with the Russian. For this reas m Russian officers assert that the Japanese

ceded in 1897 the port of Wei-Hai-W which Great Britain has strangely neg lected. To Germany the port of Kiao- Chow, in the Shantung province, was sim ilarly conceded in 1897, while France has long had possessions in Tonkin and Co., chin-China. All these nations are interest," ed in the fate of China, which hangs largely upon the future of Korea.
 Great Britain, seeing her most forrnid- | able enemy in Russia, committed herself 1 In January 1902 to treaty with Japan
 Articles and 3 of thIs agreement sne- cify that if either Japan or England should in defence of their respective Ko- rean interests, become involved in war with any other Power, the other partv to the contract will maintain a strict neutrality and use its efforts to nro- vent other Powers from joining in hostu- | ities against its ally" but that if any other Power or Powers do so join in hos tilities then the other contracting party will join its ally.
 Immediately after the announcement o, this treaty France and Russia made q counter-compact.
 That France and Germany and th, United States will watch the conflict witt eager eyes and jealously guard thei | own interests in the matter is obvious
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-02-15

That they will not rush unnecessarily into the conflict is likewise obvious.
 A duel. therefore. it is likely to remain until the end. Such 1t is absolutely cer- tain to be at the beginning.
 Both antagonists have been preparing for the fray but Japan's state of pre- paredneSs Is more complete than Russia's and, to quote one of the coming men of Japan Organized little counterbalances unorganized abundance"
 Russia, however. has heen no laggard. She has been steadily, but inconspicuous- ly transporting a steady column of sol diery toward the Korean frontier. until now it is believed that Russia will be found to have on the ground ready for instant service nearly a quarter of a mill lion men.
 On the other hand. one of the foremost | military men of Japan has declared that
 we can mobilize our entire army of 250,QO0 men in thirty-six hours" Even | competent European officers agree | that in three weeks Japan could have every man in her active military establishment landed at any roint she pleased in Manchuria or Corea and line of commissiary transports cs- tablished and defended.

Korea" said a Japanese statesman, '1s like an arrow. with the point aimed at our heart"
 That arrow-shaped peninsula lying be- tween the Russian ports of Vladivostock and Port Arthur is the bone of contention between Russia and Japan, for China, its former suzerain, is now powerless to lift a finger in it's defense. Japans bloody victory over China in 1887 was followed by the bloodless victory of Russia over Japan when by diplomatic strategy the Tsar won from the Mikado the command of the Liao-Tung peninsula. which in it's turn commands Korea
 To the Russians Korea is. indispensa- ble as a base for further Asian absorp- ton, To the Japanese 1t is indspensa- ble as affording living room for her sur plus millions, and. as a base for her con templated control of China, Manchuria, lying back of Korea-divlded from it only by the Yalu river-was the next step for Japanese covetousness. But Manchuria has been practically absorbed by Russia, and its chief ports, Talienwan and Port Arthur, have been actually leased to Rus sia.

 On the other hand. 1t is possible that the waters near Chemulpo may oe the scene of the first great naval oattle or the war.

CONNOLLY
CONDEMNS NEW HOUSE
Says 1t Was Constructed OF
Second Hand Material and
Workmanship Bad

Building Inspector William NJ. Con-
molly yesterday afternoon condemned
a new building In Scott street between
Seventh and Eighth and ordered it torn
down. The structure belongs to a
man named Fidance and is completed
with the exception Of plastering.
Inspector Connolly ordered work
stopped on the building on Tuesday
until he could make a more thorough
investigation which he did yesterday
AFTERNOON. As a result of this exami-
nation of the structure he ordered it
torn down. Fidance does not like the
idea of tearing down the building and
will probably appeal to the building
committee of City Council tonight. If
Inspector Connolly is not sustained he
will at least be relieved from further
responsibility for the building.
According TO Building Inspector Con-
molly the building is largely constructed
of second hand material taken from the
old Pennsylvania Railroad car shops at
Third and Church streets. The inside
walls are built of brick bats and the
workmanship he says is bad.
The joists used in the construction OF
the building are SKI. inches and many
of them have been notched for three
inches. They vary from two TO three
fleet apart. when the law expressly re-
iquires that they shall be sixteen inche.
lapart. There is no foundation wall, bu
instead the partition wall was sup.

BORN IN PRISON,
MOTHER IS MURDERESS

Reading July 14.-In the Berks county
jail yesterday a sad and touching sight
was witnessed when Alma, the three
year-old daughter Of Mrs. John Edwards
was given a birthday party in that insti-
tuition,
In honor of the event the little one was
allowed to roam at will about the build
ing and a special dinner was given TO her
by the warden. The prison inspectors
were in session and each one remembered
the child with a gift Of some sort which
brought gladness TO her heart, she little
realizing the awful calamity which over
hung her life.
John Edwards was murdered at his
home in Stouchsburg on the night Of july
4. 1901. and his wife was arrested two
days later. Little Alma was born in jai.
July 70 Of that year. She has never been
out of prison and knows nothing Of the
outside world. The mother is under death
