ceive Burns at Campfire in Forest.
Colorado Springs, Colo.-Lost in the
snowclad forest. on Pixies Peak at
night, three young New Workers, one
a girl, faced 4 second peril in the shape
of burning. They were Miss Maude
Arnold, daughter of B. J. Arnold, con.
sulting engineer of the New York sub.
way; her brother Stanley, fifteen years
old, and Harold Mauver, nineteen.
The three started to climb Pixies
Peak, intending to go to. the half way
house only. At 2 o'clock the next
morning they had not returned, and
their parents asked the police to aid
in a search for them. Four hours lat.
er, when Mr.. Arnold and a dozen vol
unteers were ascending the mountain
with lanterns. the missing trio ap.
peared at the temporary home Of the
Arnolds, much the worse for their
night on the mountainside.
They had reached the halfway
house at S p. M. and started for home
an hour later. They became lost. The
boys had matches and made a camp
fire. When warming herself beside
it Miss Arnold's hair caught fire. Her
hands and those Of the boys were
burned severely in beating out the
blaze. They finally found a wood
teams trail, and by a circuitous route
reached home at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing. ..,y'

q general engagement on the eastern
side of the intrenchments began at
dawn. The Russian forces, strongly
reinforced, made 4 desperate effort to
retain the remaining ridges connect
ing Port Arthur proper with the old
forts south of the fortress leading to
Golden Hill. On this side Of the city
it is estimated that one-half the Rus
sian forces, probably 1000 in all, were
fighting, and, as they were in we'll

fire from Golden Hill, it was the opin-
ion here that the engagement, as an

continuous battle until the Russians
were forced into the extreme corner
of the %promontory south Of the fort
rcSs.
In the two bulletins from General
Nogi's headquarters is the announce
ment that all the centre bitches south
of the Kekwan Mountains and running
along the ridges to Ruin Mountain
were taken after an hours fighting
n hour after sunrise. There is the
further announcement that the Jap
anese column in the Etsze hills ad-
vanced to the first line of trenches
facing White Wolf Hill: and that be-
fore dawn naval guns were posted on
the ridges directly across the bay from
Tigers Tail. The Japanese guns
shelled the parapets and inflicted
heavy damage.
A bulletin reported that the battle
ship Poltava was hit three times by
shells, M below the water line, and
was towed at nightfall to the north
westerly side of Tigers Tail, beyond
the Chingtau fort. The cruiser Giliak
was set on fire by the shells from the
naval guns on Etsze Mountain. A
cruiser of the Amur type was lowed
in a sinking condition to the outer
harbor.' The battleships Peresviet and
Retzivan have been repeatedly hit by
shells from the westerly forts captured
by the japanese.
Dispatches were received and posted
from General Kuroki's headquarters,
place not stated, announcing that the
Japanese recent advance had been
three miles. The resistance Of the
Russian forces in front was only of a
general character. Small detachments
of Russians have invariably attacked
the Japanese Outposts before dawn,
always retiring to intrenched posi-
tions. The dispatch did not indicate
where General Kuroki's army was,
but that it was closely in touch with
the central army under General Nodzu
is shown by the fact that the bulletin
says Russian artillery for three days
has shelled the trenches of the central
army, but without serious effect. The
story from the field closes with the an
nouncement that few casualties have
resulted from the daily rife fire.

GREAT LAKE NAVAL DEPOT
New Training Station Established
at Lake Bluff. IL
After Long Discussion Congress approves
of Plan to Train Raw Recruits on the
Great Lakes-Treaty With England.
p.

Washington, D. C.-Lake Bluff, ~.
will be the site of q new naval training
station for which Congress has appro
priated $250,000 A board consisting OF
Captain W. H. Reeder, William NJ
Bradley and II. NJ. Waite, after having
toured the great lakes, hearing the
claims as to the qualifications of a doz
en- cities and towns. decided that from
the standpoint of accessibility, health
fulness and topography. Lake Bluff
is the most desirable location. The4
so reported to President Roosevelt. 81
approved the report.
Nothing now remains except for II.
citizens of Chicago, ILL.,. to carry q
their intention to transfer the neq {.
sary ground, valued at S175,O00. to h
Navy Department. which will proq j
to dredge the harbor and erect bic
buildings necessary for the hou}ng
and training of from 1000 to 5000 n@yal
recruits.
Secretary Morton has no furthetan-
nouncement to make regarding The
navy's policy in this direction. ] is
probable, however, that steps viii pom
be taken toward an agreement Eith
Great Britain whereby fairly arge
training ships may cruise tho 1reat
lakes with the naval recruits fri this
station.
The Rush-Bagot treaty. cd luded
in 1916, now limits the a vdarepre-
%sentation of the United Statef On the
Great Lakes to one man-of-W, The
old Michigan is that ship. is not
expected that much difficulty will be
met in seeking q more liberal lterpre-
tation Of the treaty.
The first suggestion Of thY Establish.
ment Of a naval trainingy ttion on
the Great Lakes came frd naval
recruiting officer at Chica3 who OBJ
served the large number Of sung men
recruited for the service m States
in the Middle West. WitlEake Mich
igan so close at hand. he Hgarded Chi
cago as an ideal point ~concentra-
ton for training.
Although the recruits fained at this
station may find themblves dubbed

port aboard the fleets ia real ocean,
they will get every bit practical ex-
perience sailing the kTaters of the
