He had bought twenty ''viertel stuck
of the finest Moselle at auction and
had made a contract for as much more

up the profit he and his partner would
max on each.
A month after Herr Lichtenberg got
back from Germany his big shipment
Of Wine arrived. He had 1t stotred in
a down town warehouse, after paying
the duty. which used up almost all the
| remainder of his money.
The things happened. The man who
| had agreed to furnish the money for
| the building of the wine house at the
exposition got frightened and backed
out. He refused absolutely to listen
to Herr Li~chtenberg's plea that he had
put all his money into wine, n ad-
vised him to bring suit if he was not
satisfied. Then the old man made a
number of efforts to interest other
capital, but he failed in all OF them,
Finally he decided to sell the wine he
had bought and go back to tending
bar. He had little difficulty in finding
buyers for most of his wine. The diff
ficulty came later When he tried to col.

RUSSIANS STOP FIRING
AT PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Can See No Activity
Whatever in the Citv and
Wonder at 1t.
MYSTERY IN SITUATION
japanese Have Made No Progress on
East Side Line Of Forts Since
Last of observation-disclosures of
Losses of Officers.

Toxic learns from the Port Arthur
beseigers today that Port Arthur
suddenly is as q city of death. No
activity is seen. and the Russian
guns have ceased firing. h sud
den cessation of activity is uneX-
planned.
1t is not apparent why she Rus
slams should continue the hopeless
struggle longer. Their fleet is de-
stroyed, so tina is cannot possibly
furnish any strength to reinforce
Rojestvensky if he reaches the
east. japanese heavy guns on Me-
ter Hill dominate the harbor, so,
even if the mines could be de-
stroyed and Togn'S fleet avoided,
the Baltic fleet could not possibly
enter and use is as il port OF refuge.
The Japanese continue hammer
ing at the Russian ships, and it is
plain that Meter Hill was the key
to the situation. Port Arthur is OF
no more use TO the cZar now than if
il were in Japenesc hands. save as
it keeps occupied q considerable
Japanesc force. which APPARENTLY is
not needed elsewhere.

tons OF the Japanese commanders IN
front Of Port Arthur show there IS no

Dor. The Russians strangely enough
are not replying to the japanese ire.
In disabling and wrecking the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur, precludlne
the possibility of its being able TO re-
inforce the Russian second Pacific
squadron, the Japanese have accom-
plished the main object Of the des-
perate assaults against the fortress
Which they nave been making for the
past three months.
There is now Il strong probability
that, while continuing the siege. they
will avoid losses of the magnitude al
ready sustained attending their efforts
and instead of a~ssaulting will rely or
starving out the garrison until 1t /;
finally captured.

The Americ an NAVY.

The discussion Of the navel appropri-
alton bill in congress the coming week
is likely to open up some very important
topics of discussion and the debate will
prove to be unusually interesting.
Recent events in the far cast have
fresh understanding of the import
ance OF the navy as means OF national
defense, and the American people are in
cined more than ever to congratulate
themselves upon the fact that we have
navy that is not absurdly small in
comparison with what is expected oft.
And doubtless the war news in the
papers and The general anxiety lest
something should come up that will
drag US into the quarrel against our
wishes will make it easier than usual
to secure the appropriation necessary
to proceed with the building of the navy.
The United States caanot afford to
stand still in this matter. We have a
navy OF which this country may we'll be
proud and congress has already author
lied the construction OF other ships
which will lexceed the aggregate tonnag G
of those already completed. But this
does not relieve US from the necessity
OF continuing the work OF navel con-
struction Warships to be reliable must
be up to the most modern standards OF
construction. Ships not only wear out
quickly, but th9 march of modern in
vention is 50 rapid that they are soor
old fashioned to degree that interferes
seriously with their usefulness.
With no aggression the United States
needs as measure of safety aud self
protection a navy that can be relied
upon to defend the national interests
whenever called on to do so, and such
navy can only be secured by a contln-
uance OF a we'll planned system OF naval
construction,
And it would only be a matter of or
binary common sense, under the present
threatening aspect of international af
fairs, to proceed with naval construction
little more rapidly were the skies un
clouded
The United States can now build war
ships that are not surpassed by any in
the world, and our builders should
never again be permitted to get entire

Mrs. Allen is fine speaker. She
