chivalry they are obese or scrawny,

Writing of Savage and Civilized
Dress" Edwin Smith, Balch says that
while it might be assumed that the SUI
perior development of the brain Of civ
ilized man would result in some form
of dress far better and more tasteful
than anything found among savages,
it may be doubted whether this is the
case. One marked error of eivilized
dress is its interference with tho
proper ventilation of the skin.
The human animal breathes with his
entire skin; refuse matter is thrown
off as perspiration through every pore.
The fact is well known, but in the gar
ments Of civilization it is almost uni
versally unrecognized.

Tatchekiao, July S.-The Japanese
swarmed over the mountain crests early
Wednesday morning and advanced on
Kaichou, compelling Gen. Chirikoff
with the center of the Russian vanguard
to fall back. A whole brigade of Japan
ese, with masses of cavalry, followed
and occupied the village OF Nantay
driving out two companies of Russian
infantry and two companies OF Cossacks
who were entrenched there. The Japan
ese arrived within five miles of Kai-
chou. It was then nightfall. Gen. Sam
sonoff made heroic attempt to check
the Japanese, galloping out with guns
to shell the Japanese left and inf1icting
great loss on them, but fearing his re-
treat would be cut off, he fell back and
is now holding Kaichou. Gen. Chiri-
koff's force is stationed southeast of kai-
chou. The plans of the Japanese remain
a mystery to the Russian commanders.

St. Petersburg, July S.-The war Of

as reported by the Liaoyang correspon-

who. in a dispatch under Thursdays
date. said that severe battle was pro-
ceeding Is miles from there and that
numbers of wounded were being brought
in from the mountains. The officials OF
the war office repeat the substance OF the
explanation contained in these dis
patches Thursday, saying that the cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph prob
ably referred to the reconnaissance in
force made by Lieut.. Gen. Count Keller
July 4 in the direction of the Molten
pass. east of Liaoyang, full details of
which were telegraphed here and cabled
to the press the same day in long dis
patch from Gen. Sakharoff, to whose
army Gen. Keller's corps belongs. Gen.
Sakharoff reported that the Russians
lost more than 200 officers or men in
killed or wounded. The report of the
Daily Telegraph correspondent was
doubtless due to his seeing the stream
of wounded brought in. The war office
has no news of further fighting of i'm
