that when the directors Of the Pan-Ame~tcan EN-
TO nominate an artist for the position Of director

The idea that such men J. Q. A Ward,

and I regret that any paper holding a dlSnlied
position in the community should lenc It's columns
TO even give color 10 such lnsinuaton.
Protestants should remember that commissions

cause of the belief the part OF those placing
such commissions IN the artistic ability and the

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS"

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: That senile friend OF The Tribune in Phila-
delphfa who writes in to-day's paper that the
washington military criticisms Of the Japano-Rus-
sian War are in his opinion, silly IN the extreme,
and have not in a single instance so far been ver-
fed evidently wants a bias put to them, one way
or the other AS a fact. think that those reports
have been most accurate in every way, conserva-
tive and admirable. In fact, the war has hardly
begun, and all that has occurred has been sparring
for position or advantage of grip.
The Japanese lack OF mental capacity for com
Inning will be shown so their first plans
are disarranged They may have second plan
mapped out in advance by some Anglo-Saxon brain
for Them but when these are upset they cannot
create quickly enough necessary third This want
of faculty belongs TO the Japanese brain On the
other hand the Russians know well how TO deal
with As3atics and by long experience Especially
is II the part Of wisdom when n Malayan race is
running arnuck to get out Of the crazy ones way
until il has exhausted itself The measure of its
endurance is not illinitable and Russia has II eX
actly gagged Besides. the rainy season will come.
when the whole Japanese force Will be hors du
combat Bertbert alone would defeat Japan in the
rainy season In the opinion or those conVersant
with some matters between the combatants outside
OF the military and naval aspects, TWO factors will
decide the outcome-length Of national purse and
physical and mental endurance IN emergencies
These advantages belong primarily to Russia
