THE WAR TO DATE.

The results of the war to date are
that Japan has sunk or disabled a con-
siderable number Of Russia's finest
battleshins and captured a transport
with 1900 men; while Russia has sunk
IA Japanese merchantmen. These ad-
vantages are dlsproportlonate and the
war has begun with the serious Grip
pllng Of the Cars fighting power.
This result is not altogether surprls-
Ing. Everybody expected that Japan,
alert ana prepared. would give a good
account of herself at the opening OF
hostlltIes; but so there is an expecta-
tion that Russia viii show the greatest
endurance. There is every reason for
holding this view. Russia has resources.
and men which viii allow her to pro-
long the war indefinitely. 1t is true
that this war must be waged far from,
her base Of supplies. but il is also true
for this reason that her territory is
safe from invasion.
Her pride is aroused. and mediation
is out Of the question. She win con-
tinue to pour in stream Of troops with
the idea Of overwhelming and crushing
her enemy She expects. and with som,
reason, TO keep up the conflict in
Japan's numbers and resources shall br
exhausted
IN some respects Il is littlo singular
thar Japan should assent to the term

tegrity Of that empire might deprive
Japan OF assistance frcm the millions

EDITORIAL OPINION
Courage.

Courage.
From the Baltimore Ncws
The first feeling Of everybody must
be q feeling that Baltimore. In being
made just at this time the victim OF
the third, o. possibly the second, great
est'flre loss 10 the history Of America,
is subjected to q terrible blow.
The first feelings. but not the last.
Heavy as the loss is. it carries away.
after all, but a small part OF our total
material resources, and It viii be of no
consequence II it leaves unimpaired the
capital that is the real basis Of the
city's greatness--the spirit Of the peo-
pie And 10 suppose that the spirit of
our people win not rise TO the occa-
son is to suppose that our people are
not genuine Americans. Chicago dates
her greatness from the great fire OF
1871; Boston's fire in 1S72-more Ike
our own, In that IL swept away the
/ most valuable business property In the
! city stimulated Bostons Improvement
land development; even little Galveston,
overwhelmed by n food which seemed
calculated to wipe out all hope and
courage in that town, rose up after
her calamity more vigorous and more
| aggressive than ever Baltimore viii
do likewise
We shall make the fire of 1904 land
mark not of decline but of progress.
/ With the call for aggressive energy so
suddenly sounded i'm our ears. many
who have been inclined to let well
enough alone viii be aroused into am
lbiuous enterprise that they otherwise
would not have thought of. We must
! remember that along with perhaps n
score Of splendid buildings, there have
been destroyed hun,i eds OF mean and
incongruous houses which lined our
chief thoroughfare and filed up a large
portion Of the adjacent land. These
will be replaced by buildings of a solid
ity and value corresponding TO the ma
tural character of their location. And
the spirit and energy which this process
lwill develop is not going to stop at mere
building Of houses. 1t will give tone 10
the whole business life of the town.
The vitality and pluck that are de-
manded by the emergency will remain
after the emergency Is over. and Il will
be said ten years hence that along with
the flames that swept over Baltimore
ION that memorable Sunday I'm February
1904, another flame was kindled-the
flame of enterprise. energy. pride IN
the ability TO overcome obstacles, am
bition to stand alongside the best OF
American cities In everything that
makes a city strong, attractive, and
prosperous.
