LAKE BAIKAL, MOST MYSTERIOUS
AND BEAUTIFUL OF INLAND SEAS

In many Of its aspects associations and
characteristics Lake BaiIlal is the most
mysterious OF inland seas on the earth's
surface, The early explorers were so inn
pressed by its soemnity and sublimity that
they called it Syataya More, the Holy
Sea. To this day this most wonderful
OF all lakes is regarded 10y the inhabitants
OF the region with supeIsitious awe. and
the traveller who for the first time gazes
upon 1t cannot repress feeling OF sym
pathy with such native sentiments.

the Vladivostok vessels to get away
is not known. but the conditions that
their escape revealed show a careless
ness on Japan's part in conducting
her transport service that does not
augur well for the spirit that has
come into being in her army and navy
as a result of early successes.
1t is hazardous business to send a
fiotilla of transports out to sea in war
times without convoy even though
a nation has theoretical command Of
the sea. To do So, however, when
this command of the sea is not even
theoretical, as the raid of the Vladi-
vostok squadron proved was the case,
indicates either downright inefficien-
cy or a momentary lapse of military
consciousness.

Japan Lost Ground.

Last week was me lsost disastrous
one for japan since the war began.
II is true that she succeeded in driv-
ing General Stakelberg thirty miles
back on the LiaO-Tung Peninsula, but
the claim that she had the Russian
force practically surrounded and In
imminent danger of humiliation has
not been substantiated.
On the contrary, II was made fairly
plain that the Russians were concen-
trated between Kai-chou and Haich-
eng. covering the retreat of Stakel-
berg's army. while rumors Of a great
Russian force moving from Tashi-
Chiao, and reports Of General Kuro-
patkin's going south TO take com
mand, were persistent
But the important thing that the
week actually did declare beyond dis
pute was Japan not yet in a position
TO reduce Port Arthur. Not only has
she still TO meet the threatening Rus
sian land campaign, but the raid of
the Vladivostok squadron indicates
that there is work for her there be-
fore she can devote all her energy to
Port Arthur operations.
How the japanese ever permitted
