TOXIC, Japan, Feb. l9.-When the
war between Japan and Russia was
begun on February by an attack by
the japanese torpedo boat squadron the
navies of the two countries available
for war in the Pacific were practically
equal, so far as ships were concerned.
1t was difficult to see any great differ
ence in their fighting strength.
But naval war requires more than
ships and guns and men, and it was
here that Japan had the advantage.
So great was this advantage that naval
experts from foreign countries figured
that the ratio was to 3.
This advantage lay in the docking,
repairing and coaling facilities and the
many splendidly fortified harbors in
which japanese ships can take refuge
for repairs or when hard pressed. The
Russians have not a drydock in which
ships of the first class can be repaired
If injured below the water line. Japan
has one at each Of her seven great
ports, all Of which are capable Of taking
the largest ships and commercial ship
building companies in Japan have more,
any of which will take the largest
warship aloat.
The repairing facilities at the several
Japanese navy yards are unexcelled
and are all ready to do any sort of
work in the shortest possible time. The
coaling facilities at these navy yards
are as complete as the repair shops
and every device or plan for aiding and
Fastening the work is to be found
there. Japan also has large coal mines
at Nagasaki, where coal can be loaded
directly on to barges and taken to the
ships waiting but few hundred yards
away in the harbor.
This coal is not of the best quality
and will not be used unless necessary

TOXIC, Japan. Feb. 19.-"How long

topic of conservation in Japan. put
the question to one of the Japanese
officials today and his reply led him to
quite an extended discussion of the
situation.

months. However. two Years have
been suggested to me by very we'll
posted military authority as the prob
able length of the war.
"N course the war must continue
until a natural end is made Of it. So
far as a Russian victory is concerned,
Japan will only concede that when her
navy has been utterly wiped out and
the enemy has made an actual conquest
of the japanese island. To do this
would mean the practical extermina-
ton of the Japanese people.
"On the other hand Japan would
ONLY be able TO dictate terms of peace
ia sbe could destroy or bottle up the
Russian fleet. win three or four sharp
fights in Korea and sweep the Russians
of the Iiatona peninsula. which is
Russia's Manchurian stronghold and

an achievement. par excellence. of art.
Over seven million persons visited the
Worlds Fair in the first half of its ex-
istence, and not one visitor went away
but who proclaimed the wonders of the
sights beheld. Those who come later
and again will have more to see for the
grandeur of the enterprise grows as its
age natures.
Late summer. autumn and fall are the
seasons that will bring many millions
more of visitors and when the gates of
the exposition close onSDec. l the world
will have gotten its full share of the
benefits accruing from the expenditure OF
the enormous sum of S50,000,OOO and the
employment of the best artists and arti
sans in the entire world.
Covering 1,240 acres, nearly third
of which is woodland, the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition extends from the west
ern limits of st. Louis city into st. Louis
county, occupying site which is one
half level plain and the other hill and
valley.
In these grounds are over 800 build
ings. Among them are thirteen main ex
hibit palaces and several lesser ones, fifty
buildings erected by States.-a score con
structed by foreign governments. ter

horses pulling together represent the
power used on the Worlds Fair grounds.
In a palace of Corinthian Architecture,
part of the main picture, Electricity
has its home. The structure is the same
size as the home of Education and costs
$41J,0OO. All classes of machinery for
the generation and utilization of electrical
energy are here exhibited, the majority Of
them in motion.
Fifteen and SiX-tenths acres are COW

which is 1,30O feet long by $50 feet wide.

The largest of all the exhibit palaces
is the home Of agriculture, which covers
over twenty-three acres This building
is in the western portion of the grounds
and forms the center of a second picture,
being surrounded by immense beds OF
flowers, one of which, devoted to roses
alone, occupies six acres. Special fea-
lures are tue crops Ot tue Ouitcu ctdtes,
which have never before been Demon
strated at any exposition.
The Mines and Metaliurgy Palace COW
ers about nine acres and is the largest
structure provided for mines and mining
by any exposition. Like other buildings
it teens with life. Methods Of delying
beneath the surface are exhibited as well
as the ores and metals that are found.
The United States government building
occupies an elevated site just, south OF
the main picture of the Exposition. The
great central dome of the government
building is visible from the very center
of the Fair. looking across the pictur-
esque sunken garden that lies between
the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts. This government building
is the largest structure ever provided at
an exposition by the Federal government.
In this building are installed the exhibits
of all the executive departments OF the
government, and space is also devoted to
the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian
Institute and the Bureau of American
Republics. The building is 4 vast store

the Russian Port Arthur fleet and
without much damage to himself.
Togo is great sea captain. On what
he has already achieved his name will
be written high in Neptune's honor
roll
Togo says that because he cOncen-
trated his fire upon the enemys battle
slips. their cruisers escaped with
slight relative damage. But the cruiser
AskoId, 5.9O5 tons, which reached
Shanghai. was sadly battered. One of
its five tunnels was knocked off and
the other four We're riddled. 1t had
several large shell holes near the
water line. The japanese damage is
not known. Togo says the fighting ef-
ficency of his fleet has not been low
cred. and that his damages have been
temporarily repaired.
Monday and Tuesday Immediately
preceding the sortie of the fleet, the
Japanese soldiers continued their vio-
lent and reckless assaults upon the de-
fenses of Port Arthur On Monday
night they took Takushan hill, S45
feet high This is the strategic key of
the eastern defenses of the fortress.
These defenses, being situated sew
eral hundred feet below Takushan.
would be subjected to plunging fire
directed down upon them from the
batteries on that hill.
On Tuesday night the Russians, by
a stealthily daring effort, retook Taku-
shan. The news was brought by the
commander of the Ryeshitelni. who
left the besieged place with the Rus
sian fleet.
Little news has come of the Lao
yang situation. The Japs are using
the Lao River and the Sinminting
railway to get n force to the west
ward of Liaoyang. This, if accom-
plished. would nearly complete the cir
Gle around it. But apparently the jap
anese have not advanced from the
south or east since the 1st of August.

Russia's Port Arthur garrison hav-
ing rejected Japan's demand for sur
render, it was reported that the Jap
anese army at once began stOrming
the fortress. When the last definite
news from the besieged city was OBJ
tanned the japanese had captured I'M
portant positions, and at close range
were throwing shells into the fortress
in great number and setting fires in
the city. At the same time everything
was in readiness for the final charge
up the heights when the demand for
surrender was denied.
The Japanese, having swept away
all exterior defenses, pressed onward
to the inner ramifjcations of the cita-
del to the final infantry assault. The
shells from japanese guns, exploding
within the city's walls. set fire to her
coal docks, and the confla grafton
spread unchecked. The oil warehouses,
