Special Cable to The Globe.

CHIFU, April 1.-The Japa-
nese main military operations
south Of the Ya1u river have
been completed and the army
undoubtedly is awaiting an
offensive movement which
everybody assumes is to be
made from some other point.
The celebrity with which the
infantry has moved north Of
An-ju was equaled by the
sudden movement made from
ChemulpO three weeks ago,
when infantry, artillery and
cavalry crossed the Han-Ganq
river 10000 strong with all
their stores in thirty hours.
That movement began on
Tuesday night and was fin
ished Wednesday morning.
Today at An-ju there is only
a protecting force. The main
army has moved twenty-five
miles north to Chong-ju and
east to Suchong, with the
front spreading out within
sight Of the Yalu river and
holding every caravan road
and mountain pass. The ar
tillery force has occupied
Yong Hanpo, one-half OF a
regiment coming in on Thurs
day morning, comprising
companies Of the Sixth from
KumamOta and the Fourth
from Osaka. These were sent
to hold the road toward San
kuri, half way between YONG
HannpO and Wi-ju.
The report is that Gen.
M1shtachenkO has several
companies Of artillery south
Of Wi-ju, but this is regarded
here as improbable, in view
OF the invasion Of the Yalu
river by Japanese qunboats
and light cruisers. Should the
Russian commander have in
fantry and artillery at Wi-iu
his position is extremely per
ilous by this time. The re-
mainder Of the Osaka and Ku-
nnanota artillery regiments
are moving down the Pan
won road from Sak-ju that
two lines Of japanese forces
will meet each other near Wi
ju almost at right angles.

information was received today from

Russia is drawing up her battle

very soon the first decisive battle
of the war. At Wi-ju 1000 Cos

rapid advance of the Japanese forces
emphasized the fact that the great

In European capitals great inter

role being played by King Edward,
who in his neutrality proclamation
presented unn1istakabIe evidence Of
his desire for peace. Russia was
particularly pleased with his utter

drifting into a retrospective
mood.
What a strange psychological
law must undcrly the human
mind. We cry out in re-
bellion against Fate for sending
us heartachcs and trials, yet
the memory of those same
heartachoS and trials we bind
to Our hearts with loops of
steel, and dwell upon them,
and hold them up in every
conceivable light before the
minds eye. This is precisely
what Bashford was doing as
he sped over the icy pavements:
on, on till he had reached the
outskirts of the town.
Through dim vista of
half-forgotten years he was
aware that there once existed
a prologue to the real drama
of his life-a vague period of
school and college-days-a time
of petty triumphs, won at
sports, smiles and applause be
slowed upon him by his class
mates and friends for his
achievements on the stage of
the old Hasty-Pudding Club
but they were all nothing to
him now-he dismissed them
as childish, unimportant events
The real vital interest was
awakened by the dawning of
Marion Lee on the horizon of
his existence. 1t was from
that hour that his life had
taken on a definite shape and
color, from the instant that
he had come within the sun
