JAPANESE GIVE
LIMB FOR LIMB

When the japanese in the present war
blow off Russians leg or arm, they
promptly make restitution by giving the
unfortunate warrior a new limb, warranted
sound and serviceable, though perhaps not
"just as good as the original.
That is the latest novelty in modern
warfare. bit of Oriental courtesy that
is sure to attract attention. The Nagasaki
Press, in its issue of April l, tells about
it in the following paragraph:
"ln connection with the announcement
by her majesty the empress that ,he
wounded Russians should be given, if need
ed, artificial limbs, it is reported that a
set OF artificial limbs and four feet have
been recently sent to the Matsuyama Red
Cross hospital, in which the wounded Rus
slams are receiving treatment
The same paper contains the following
bit of information regarding the attitude
of the Siberian cOnvicts to the war:
Zone would not expect to hear much
talk of patriotism from Siberian convicts,
yet it is reported from Bagovestchensk,
the capital of Eastern Siberia. that the
convcts employed on the Amur railroad
have offered to turn over 10 per cent OF

At the meeting OF the streets and alleys
committee of the city council yesterday
afternoon the ordinance introduced by
Giblett appropriating $1,000 of the city's 5
funds to repair the old Thirty-fourth
street bridge, evoked lengthy discussion.
1t was the intention of the city to re-
construct this bridge last year at consid-
cradle expense. but when the tax levy was
made the cost of building the bridge was
omitted
The residents in the part of the city
recently pettioned the council to have the
bridge repaired, and at the council meet
ing tonight the ordinance viii be recon-
mended for passage.
The finance committee met yesterday
to count the money in the hands of the
city treasurer, and found $2jl ,5S697.
The property owners along f street, who
have petitioued for and demonstrated
against street Improvements again and

POSTOFF|CE
IS SWAN PED

Many Tacoma people who subscribed for
the Daily Christian Advocate, which is
being published at Los Angeles during
the session of the Methodist general con
ference, have not received the paper regu-
larly, and to some it has not come at all.
An explanation of this is found in the
following extract from a letter written
by DR.. RAIDER TO friend in Tacoma, reia-
tive to the non-arrival of the papers,
"All of the names have been properly
entered upon the mailing list and it is not
our fault that the papers are not delivered
to the places where they are directed.
This postofhce had no idea of the magni-
tude of the Methodist Episcopal general
conference The postmaster here thought
that one or two men could handle the
mail of the conference in the Pavilion,
but when business opened he soon discov.
cred that five were unequal to the task.
He also made light of the thought that
we would have over 10000 subscribers for
our paper, as did also many others, as
the subscription list had never before this
gone over 5000. We are sending out now
about 1880. The result is that the post
office is swamped and there are thousands
of papers lying here in the postoffice. In
deed, | am informed that there are five
or six thousands of papers lying here and
the postofice is utterly unable to handle
them. l am very sure that our subscrb-
ers will get the paper finally, though they
will not get it promptly as we greatly
desired they should. We are doing our
best in publishing the paper regularly, but
we cannot atone for the defects in the
postoffice"
