Tie most stupendous and auda-
cious scheme which the world ever
witnessed is being oIganized and op-
Grated at this time to lure young
girls from the towns of this and
ether States into the dens Of iniquity
in st. Louis. The matter has come
to light through the abortive at
tempts of some of the agents of the
syndicate engaged in this traffic OF
iniquity, and the most determined
efforts to stop the practice are being
set on foot by the people of the city
of st. Louis, as well as those OF other
cities and towns where the syndicate
hopes TO recruit its victims. The
plan of the syndicate is to procure
young women from the working
classes to come to st. Louis under
promise of employment during the
Worlds Fair season, and then to
meet them at the depot in st, Louis
and conduct them to some brothcl,
where their feet are set in the ways
of ruin and their lives are hopelessly
wrecked before they can be reached
by any possible assistance.

IT is A CRITICAL MOMENT.

St Petersburg, May 14,-l2:50 p. m
The army organ Is disinclined to be,

tion probably will swerve northward
toward Lao-Yang, followed by the
forces now at Suyan-Chow, and com
bining with the division reported 10 be

on Lao Yang.

three jackies. The launch mounted a
small machine gun and carried three
torpedoes.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
snce 1t was late when she gained the
outer line of the japanese squadron.
Slipping through the torpedo boat
pickets, and selecting the nearest war
ship, big armored cruiser she stale
toward her and succeeded in exploding
against her side a single torpedo. A
deafening roar followed the explosion,
which echoed far ashore. Immediate
Iy flames enveloped the cruiser, which
evidently was badly crippled.
The crew Of the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishng. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southwest.
The launch escaped the hot fire di-
rected against her by the japanese
ships, but being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny.
Only a few of the higher officers
were aware of the plan, the success of
which depended upon secrecy. The
achievement raised the spirits of the
Russians ahoat and ashore, and the
young naval officer who was the hero
of the exploit was feted and recon-
mended for the cross of St George.
The Russians, on May II, appre-
hending that the presence of Japan
ase squadron meant an attempt to cap
ture Dalny, blew up the piers and qui-
etly evacuated the place.

cupied the road to Sanchilipu, again

FIGHTING, NOT PRAYING, WINS
Gen. Nelson A. Miles Explains Sue
cess of Jap Soldiers.
Says Success Of the Japnnese is Due
TO Their Wonderful SIKH and
Performance of Duties.

New York, May 1.-THE Russian
soldier is courageous in saying his
prayers before going into battle, and
the same thing may be said of the
soldiers Of the sultan, and | have
found that on the battlefield its the
fighting and not the praying that
wins" said Gen. Nelson A. Miles Fri
day night, in explaining the success OF
japanese soldiers against Russia. Gen.
Miles was speaking at dinner to
members Of the order of the Founders
and Patriots Of America. of which Ad-
miral Geo. Dewey was elected gov
ernor- general.
ut has been my privilege" said Gen
Miles, ito see most Of the armies of the
world. have studied carefully the
armies Of Japan and of China and the
soldiers of Russia. and the success in
the east to-day of the soldiers of the
mikado is due to their wonderful
skill, the faithful performance of their
duties and their remarkable enter
prise
Then Gen. Miles spoke Of the pray
erfulness Of the Russian and Turkish
soldier
"Of all the armies Of the world"
continued Gen. Miles, "ours seems to
differ In that the men are serving for
principle. Our men seem to feel
that they are working for free people,
for a republic in which every man is
sovereign and every woman su-
perior Of sovereign Our flag repre-
sents the sovereignty and the freedom
of manhood. 1t is pleasure as we'll
AS an honor to serve under It,
know this from my forty years ex-
perience as a soldier In all that time
there never was an hour Of the day
that 1t was not pleasure to me to
be In the service"
Admiral Dewey said: 81 don't know
as We have any better navy than we
had, but we have better tools than
we had few years ago, OF course
the newspapers will say We have not
but take my word for it. we have the
best ships and the best officers and the
best men in the whole world AS to
the enlisted men especially, we are
getting the cream of the world, and
with such men ready and eager to
fight the other nations are going to
let u,s alone And in a few years to
come, the American people are going
to have the very best navy in the
world, not for aggression, but to pro-
tect our rights"
