LONDON, May AT any moment now the great land battle which Is
to decide the fate of Port Arthur may begin. Military strategists have fig

The first great fight must take place at Kinchau, and the army at Fort

The distance from Pfsewo to Port Arthur is but fifty miles. and the
Japanese army a move at the rate II fifteen miles n day. The army X

SOLDIERS SING ON THE MARCH.

London Globe-Music has always
played great part in fighting, and
Lord Wolseley declares that "troops
that sing as they march will not only
reach their destination more quickly
and in better fighting condition than
those who march in silence, burt in
spired by the music and words of
national songs will feel that seTf,con-
fidence which is the mother of vic
tory" In the Japanese army it is the
custom for the soldiers to sing as they
go into battle and rush to the charge.
The practice was remarked during
the operations of the allied powers
against Peliin. Their favorite song is
the "Kimi Gayo," or national anthem.
which has been Englished as fol
lows:-
May our Lords dominion last
Till a thousand years have passed
Twice four thousand times DER
told,
Firm as changeless rock, earth
rooted,
Moss of ages uncomputed
In the Russian army, tests were
made few years ago to ascertain
the value of marching songs, and the
results so confirmed Lord Wolseley's
dictum that the regulations now de
cree that regiments on march and in
advancing to charge shall sing ma
tional songs.

CONFIDENCE IN THE ORIENT ROAD.

Mr. A. z. Stilwell the promoter OF the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient railway, enjoyed an unusual demon
srator of confidence the occasion Of his banquet a.
the Midland hotel night when than one million
dollars was subscribed stock in the construction com
panv that has the building of the road in charge 1t Is
somehat extraordinary for enterprises OF THIS proportion
n sock what may be called popular subscriptions, al
Though the number small holders in big properties Is
constantly increasing this country But is still more
remarkable that so large aggregate OF subscriptions
ebould ba reached on such an occasion. Usually when
any considerable stock taken in concern the SUD
erer investigates and deliberates long and carefully
and is not inclined under the influence OF an en-
+beast gathering But some of the subscriptions made
last night were big although the majority Of them were
comparatively small The practice of seeking aid through
popular subscriptions big undertakings is much more
common in Europe than in this country more especaly IL
France.
The success of last nights banquet as a means VI
ein money was due to the obvious merits of the Orient
proposon as an ultimate investment and 10 the conn
dence that Mr. Stilwe inspired through his success
fl oneratiOns There evidence too OF the fah haI
Kansas CITY has Mr. Stilwes representations that the
Orient is and shall remain a Kansas City institution.
Whatever former misgiyngs may have been, there l..
now strong public conviction that the Orient will be
comnleted and that too within a comparatively short
time The promise that the line from Wichita to Kansas
CITY will be finished operation by October came
as surprise for it implies the purpose to push the work
AT speed that is almost unprecedented in railroad con
struc+ion However Mr. StilweH cannot be said to be
rash in his announcements. 1t evident last night
that his guests believed would keep his word-kansas

THE POETS PRAYER.

poet prayed aloud for power to sing
To all mankind one sweet soulthrillng song,
To bring forgetfulness of daily wrong,
And swift surcease of transient trials bring.
Ger all the land his prayer took wing,
Soft echoing, here and there, amid the throng,
From heart to heart, as gently borne along
AS breezebown fragrance from the flowers in spring
And when the poet walked among his kind,
Behold! they did great homage to his name
Gave thanks for endless good his words had wrought
And blessed the teachings of master mind.
Nor knew he whence came luster to his fame;
For To- his prayer had been the song he sought!
