the stand this morning in the smoot

planning how the church was governed,
showing that, as an apostle, Smooth had
nothing to do with its judicial affairs, and
that acts of officials were submitted to
the church members, who exercised
great deal of liberty when it came to rati-

the apostles. Even the revelations had

that officers of the adjutant generals de-
partment are seeking to have legislation en-
acted which will transfer them to the hne
and thus displace number OF officers who
expect promotion at an early date.
1t is claimed these officers sought staff
service, and having secured it and along
with it unusual rapid promotion, now
wish to be transferred back to the line and
outrank hundreds OF officers over whom
they were favored, for no particular reas
son except they possessed pull with the
appointing power. Letters are being writ

them to oppose the measure as its enact

Townsend residents will reach their des-

county, and as Port Townsend is the
county seat, young woman in that city

one of these men. Years ago the govern
ment figured out just how many men could
be sent into the field and just what those
men would need. Ever since preparations
which have now been completed have been
going on.
When the allied army went to the rellef
Of the legations at Pekin during the Boxer
uprising the japanese surprised all the
other officers in the column by the com
pleteness OF their information regarding
the country. Their maps are still the mar
vel of every officer who saw them. They
possessed large maps showing in detail the
character of the country. These maps were
divided into small sections and for each
section there was a large map, which was
the section magnihed These maps not
anlv showed the rivers and hills, but the
ridges and gullies, in fact every Topographic
cal feature of the land, however small, and
in addition every field, every grove of
trees, every cluster of huts was plainly
marked. So complete were these maps
that in almost every case fences were
marked and the kind of grain grown in the
fields was designated. They were without
doubt the most marvellous maps ever car
ried into the field by any army.
| spoke to a Japanese engineer officer
the other day about the surprise expressed
by American army officers. He laughed
and said:
"If these maps surprised them, they
should see our military maps of Korea
| Our engineers have been at work there for
ten years and it is safe to say thaat there
is not a tree in Korea that has not beer
mapped a half dozen times"

TOXIC, Japan, Feb. l5.-One does not
realize until he comes to Japan and sees
the warlike preparations IN the streets OF
the capital what mammoth preparations
japan has been making for the inevitable
conflict with Russia which has now come.
For more than twenty years Japan has
known that sooner or later war with nus
sia must come, and every day since the
close of the war with China, nearly ten
wears ago. every effort of the government
has been turned towards getting ready Tor
this war.
That Japan is perfectly prepared for the
conflict is beyond doubt. Her storehouses
are crowded with munitions of war and
with food and clothing for her army and
navy. Every possible arrangement has
been made and not the slightest point has
been overlooked. The brains of Japan g
most brilliant military leaders have been
turned to this work for years and they
have had the assistance of men trained in
tn cart in almost every country in Europe,
As a result Japan is now working wonders
in getting her soldiers ready for the front
1t is an hourly sight in the streets OF
Toxic to discover a ragged band of cool
marching along with a couple Of neat
Young officers towards the barracks and in
an hours time see them emerge from the
barracks fully uniformed, armed and
equipped. These are the reserves which
are being brought in and who have all
received a goodly amount of training.
Japan is preparing to put 100000 soldiers
in the field and in the storehouses are tho
uniforms, arms and equipment for every
