WHERE RUSSIA OFFENDED.

A correspondent, of the Record eN.
presses surprise at the sympathy of
the American press and people for
Japan in the Mauchurian war and la
mcnts the Mongoian victories over
the Caucasian race.
In the first place, Russia offcnde :
the American spirit Of fairness by her
oncIoachments In Manchuria. Japan
had won Port Arthur from the Chi
nese ten years ago, but under the in.
hucnce OF the powers il was presery-
ei to China. Thereafter Russia OBJ
tained "A concession from China for
the port and for a railway through
Manchura with the distinct under
standing that her privilege was pure
ly commercial.
Later. after the invasion of China
on account OF the Boxer uprising, the
treaty OF the combined powers for.
badc any nation from acquiring or
assuming political dominion or oxclu-
sivc trade relations in any part OF
China.
Notwithstanding these conventions.
Russia actually occupied Mauohuria
under the prcteNt that the Chinese an.
thuriucs were not protecting her rail
way interests. To the representation
of the other powers conspicuous
among them Japan. She made repeat
"a promises of evacuation, but con
tlnued 10 send troops into the terri
tory aud finally proclaimed viceroy
OF Mauchuria.
All this meant Russia annexation
II could mean nothing else. Japan
then became more concerned and in
sisted upon specific guarantee of
trade rights in Manchuria. Russia
cvaded that point and finally met 1t
with a counter proposal to partition
the trade of Korea, which was al
ready under the undisp"ted dominancy
of Japan. Meanwhile Russia contin-
ned To fortify Manchuria. and II was
plain that she meant TO equivocate un-
til she was strong enough to defy.
There was nothing left for Japan
to 10 but to precipitate the war. To
wait longer meant to allow Russia to
completely occupy the country which
was pledged by two treaties to be
open territory.
In the second place Russias historic
policy has been conquest and oppres.
sion No government under the sun
has been more tyrannical. Her 81
berian prisons are "A byword OF re-
proach. Her Jewish prosecutions
have been as shocking as history re.
cords She is Christian in profession
but anti-Christian in practice. She
has a cultured upper class. but her
masses are ignorant and supersttous
Finally, while Japan is not Chris
tian in profession, she has opened her
doors TO Christian teachers and she
has adopted the best of Christian
practices She IS tolerant where Rus
sia is into'orant She is progressive
where Russian is roa"tionary. Relig-
ion aside Japan is keeping step with
the civilization OF the world while
Russia is laggard in all that makes
for civic virtue and commercial eX-
CellenCC.
Thus has Russia offended the plain
principles of international morality
and popular liberty, and thus she mas
lost the sympathy of the right think
ing and unbiased nations-Rccord.

Silk For Evening and Should Match

The old fashion of stockings and slip

~ but surely creeping back into favor.
About four years ago il became obliga-
tory 10 wear satin slippers and hose
OF light shades with an evening dress,
and since then colored footwear has be

descriptions. 1t is a pretty fashion, al
though an expensive one, but for a
leader of the smart set the price OF an
article should be very minor consid-

really fashionable world without fol-
lowing all OF its latest dictates?
SIX stockings are obligatory on all
occasions, so it is said, but let it be
whispered that fine Isle thread are far
less expensive, far more useful and far
less injurious. 1t is we'll known how
harmful are satin slippers and silk
stockings when constantly worn. and
really the delicate Isle thread hose now
10 be had are extremely pretty for an
afternoon gown at any rate. In the
evening silk stockings should always be
worn.
among the younger women in society
particularly it has for the last few
years been the fad to wear all winter
long IN the street. the finest of open
work silk hose and high heeled French
slippers. This. besides being most dan

rather bad style. When one is not go

His First Day at School

She lost her little boy t6day:
Her eyes were moist and sweet
And tender when ne went away
To hurry down the street.
She stood there for the longest while.
And watched and watched him; then
She said-and tried 10 force d smile
Hell not come back again.
Inside the house her tears would come:
She sank into a chair
And sObbed above the battered drum
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole INTO the place
II only made her sad
With thinking OF the pretty grace
HIS baby tresses had.
She minded all his little ways:
Sne went 10 see his crib
Up In the attic. then 10 gaze
At platter, spoon. and bib.
And all the trlnkets he had thought
SO fair 10 look upon
Each one OF them thus murmur brought:
My little boy has gone"
She wandered through the house all day.
To come on things he'd left;
And. oh. she missed his running play,
ANA felt herself bereft.
When he came home with shining eyes.
To tell Of schools delight
She kissed and held him motherwise
With something OF alright
This Is the pain in mothers hearts
When school days have begun.
Each knows the little boy departs
And baby days are done:
Each mother fain would close her ears
And hush the calling bell;
For somehow IN it's tone she hears

New Plated Skis.

The plated skirt is one OF the settled
facts OF fashion for the coming wear.
Popular as gaugings. shirrings. cordIngs
and gatherings are, there is nothing
quite as satisfactory as plating Skirts
must be fun, and they must not be bulky
about the hips. This accounts in a
measure for the preference for plaitings.
Seven or eight distinct varieties are
shown so that monOtOny f. avoided
Nearly all plated skirts are made on
machines these days. The skirt is cut
and sent 10 the plaiters. the M being
secured after the machine work has
been done. This fact Is worth remem-
bering when dressmaking is done at
home. Practically all skirts are short
and some or the new walking skirts
seem rather eXaggeratedly so.
