The Japanese Advance.

Ta-tche-kiao, which is reported as
captured by the Japanese after a
severe engagement, is the gate to the
Lao Valley. 1t is situated some fif-
teen miles south of Hai-Cheng. Niu-
chwang, to the east of Hai-Cheng. is
also reported as in the hands of the
Japanese.
KurOpatkin, the Russian general,
whose main force is near Yiao-Yang.
north of Hai-Cheng. is now facing an
extended arc of the enemy, the left
of which holds Niuchwang, while the
right, under command Of General
Kuroki, occupies the mountains TO
the north, threatening Kuropatkins
line Of retreat 10 Mukden.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed that Kuropatkin should per-
nit General Oku, in command of the
southern division of the Japanese
army. TO advance without vigorously
contestng every step of the way
The explanation for this seeming lack
OF adequate resistance to the Japa-
nese advance northward is found in
the position Of Kuroki.
His men throng the mountains with
a force nearly equal TO that under
Kuropatkin. Had the Russian gen
eral depleted his command to any
considerable extent by sending south
force enough to cope with Oku's di-
vision, KurOki's men would have
come swarming down from the hills,
defeated the main body of the Rus
SLAMS, occupied the line of retreat Of
the Russian force fighting OIu at the
south, and compelled the surrender
or the humiliation of practically the
entire Russian army in Manchuria.
AS matters now stand it is difficult
TO perceive how KurOpatlin is going
to extricate himself from his present
predicament. His only hope of safe
ty is a retreat north to Mukden, and
possibly even TO Hardin. II Japan
can draw her Unfolding line together
and prevent KurOpatkin's escape 10

fight or surrender. Indeed, a fight
would probably mean a surrender.

The Russian Raids.

While the sinking of the British
steamer Knight Commander off the
Province of Idzu, and the destruction
of her American cargo. will require
an explanation, there seems little
doubt, if the vessel was carrying
contraband-and no one denies that
such was the case-that the Russians
were strictly within their rights.
Naval men offer no criticism. They
say that the Russian feet had prob
ably sent of as many prize crews as
it could spare, in which case sinking
the steamer was the only course left.
England will protest, of course, but
the action undoubtedly will be more
a matter of form than any genuine
expression Of national indignation as
was the case with the MalacCa-
Indeed, the difference between the
Knight Commander and the Malacca
is evident. The Vladiyostok squad
ron, which sunk the Knight Com
mander, is composed of war vessels
of established rating. They are
operating within the zone Of the war
where all shippers Of contraband
should expect trouble.
The Smolensk, which captured the
Malacca, was a volunteer cruiser,
which had passed the Dardanelles in
disguise and regarding the standing
of which as a vessel Of war there
was room for plenty of argument.
Russia has since acknowledged this
by Withdrawing this ship and the St.
Petersburg pending a statement as
to their status. Moreover, these YES
sells were operating in the Red Sea,
entirely outside the war zone.
There is little question that contra
band has been going into Japan in
quantities for months, and with the
Port Arthur feet bottled and the
Vladivostok fleet inactive, such ship
ping was safe enough. The Vladi-
vostok feet has definitely changed
the situation, however, and unless
Japan succeeds in destroying the
menace there is likely to be consider
able havoc among what is technically
designated as neutral shipping.

English Stamina.

English military authorities are
said TO be worried over the poor
stamina Of applicants for military
service. and wondering what can be
done about it. Kipling made some
observations about fifteen years ago
which throw light on the matter. He
found that the Highland regiments
as a rule secured good husky" re-
cruits, and so did the navy, but that
the ordinary infantry regiment was
deficient in height, weight, and
strength. The inference is plain and
easy.
In the Highlands the people are
poor, but they live much in the open
air and Lead healthy lives. as their
ancestors have for many hundred
years; and there are no more people
on the land than the land can sup
port. since the adventurous spirit Of
the Highlander has taken the surplus
population 10 the colonies of America.
The sailors in the navy come largely
from seacoast towns where food is
not scarce, and the same conditions
affect them. But the infantry regi-
ments are recruited mainly from
London and from manufacturing

of his own people go down the river
on a steamer which was engaG ed
with the express understanding that
no tickets were to be sold TO rough
characters, that no gambling should
be allowed, and that there should be
no bar on the boat. With this I'M
derstanding the people of the church
turned out in numbers, and con-
graduated themselves on the fact that
they were to have a days pleasure
with no rOwdyism.
The trouble began at the wharf,
where undesirable characters imme-
diately applied for tickets, and got
them, in spite of ali that the clergy
man and his friends could say. The
next discovery was that contrary to
their express agreement the steam
boat people were selling liquor. After
being reasoned with strenuously they
closed the bar, only to run speak
easy and gambling joint in a less
conspicuous corner of the boat.
Constant vigilance on the part of
the colored men in charge of the ex-
cursion was needed to prevent the
very thing which they had so earnest
ly striven to avoid. Two tough young
negroes who we're starting a poker
game readily gave it up when politely
asked to do so by the clergyman, and
the tough element in general proved
considerably less amenable than the
steamboat men. The excursion eX-
pertinent was, however, not tried
again.
Ii these allegations are true-that
il is those who profit by the negro's
vices who are really responsible for
the disorder on the excursion boats
il would appear to be time that decent
white people aided the decent colored
people in suppressing a condition

people have been overcrowded, under

villages are not much better. and in
those that are the inhabitants are

If England wants a strong army,
therefore, her remedy may be found
in one of two courses. She may give
better living advantages to her poor.
That would be a herculean undertak-

Fairgrounds.

A correspondent, impressed with
the immediate necessity of more
Fairgrounds for the children of
Washington, suggests that the public
parks in all sections of the city
might be thrown open to the children.
Major Sylvester, whose sympathetic
study of the subject of Fairgrounds
makes him an authority, claims that
the people interested in the matter
have the wrong idea about public
Fairgrounds for children. According
to him, the principle of getting a lot
thirty by forty feet and turning
crowd of children into it is a mistake
What is wanted is a tract of ten or
fifteen acres in each section of the
city. This properly arranged and
properly managed would provide a
play place for children of all ages.
The thing TO do" says Major Syl-
vester. is 10 have the grounds ar
ranged for different sports and to
have them looked after by special Of
ficers and attendants. Then all would
be protected in their rights, and there
would be room for all"
There are 3O3 public parks in the
city, covering a total of APO acres.
The largest are the Presidents Park
south of the White House, Judiciary
Square, Garfield Park, and the Mall
10 L.
and quot grounds on the Presidents
Park. Play is also permitted on
reservations on Delaware Avenue be-
tween Third and n Streets southwest,
and on Sixth Street between n and
the river front, southwest. These
are small triangles. The reservation
between K and L, Fifth and Seventh
Streets southeast, was used as ball
ground, but the neighbors complain
ed that it was too small
Colonel BrOmwell, Superintendent
Of Public Buildings and Grounds,
says that he would not object to the
erection of temporary swings in these
grounds nor in the more remote
parks. The law specifies that no per
manent structures shall be erected
in the parks.
Indeed, the regulations governing
parks allow considerable latitude. In
a park not much frequented there
would be no objection to allowing
boys to romp as they please over
the paths, whereas, in a frequented
park anything Of that sort would be
regarded as Objectionable. Casual
strolling over the lawns by adults
and playing on the grass by little
children is not interfered with as
long as the lawns are not injured.
In fact, the authorities already seem
TO have done all that can reasonably
be expected Of them in regard TO the
parks. These places are for the use
of all the people, and should their
beauty be married or their quiet IN
duly disturbed they would cease tC
serve one of their most valuable pur-
poses
In the well conducted home the
rights Of the children are recognized
by setting apart a portion of the
house for their especial use. There
they can romp 10 their hearts con-
tent, but in other parts Of the house
they must recognize the rights OF
their elders. The same principle
should be applied to the city, and
this can be done by providing plenty
of Fairgrounds exclusively for the
children as part Of the policy of the
city.
