These two persons. Mr. and Mrs. Beau

looks as though the joke was on them

WOMEN ARE AIDING ,.5
IN VLADIV0STOK'S
WAR PREPARATIONS

VLADIVOSTOK, March 23.-While
the situation here remains quiet, it is
not expected that Vladivostok will
aeontinue to be much longer free from
the vigorous operations of the Japan
ese. In anticipation of the appearance
Of the enemy and of a possible siege,
a ladies' circle has been formed, which
sits six hours daily at the Ministry of
Marine preparing bandages of linen for
sick soldiers and sailors. Most of the
women in Vladivostok belong to the
circle, including the representatives of
the aristocracy, who have determined
to share the discomforts of the opera
tions with their husbands.
In Likolsk, forty miles north of Vlad-
ivostok, on the railroad, a committee
has been formed under the auspices of
the Vice Governor to collect donations
toward the increase of the fleet.
SEATTLE, March 23.-VIadivostok is
all but depopulated in consequence of
the war, the bulk of its population
having taken flight, fearing a bonn
bardment of the city by the japanese
naval forces. w. j. Lippy, a we'll
known fur trader, has arrived direct
from Vladivostok. which port he left
on February 20. On a single vessel, a
collier, $500 Japanese left Vladivostok
the day prior to the first attack on Port
Arthur. The Chinese residents, num-
bering about $1,000, sought to leave and
had chartered vessels, but the military
forces would not allow them to depart.
Just before Lippy left the Imperial
Bank of Vladivostok moved it's treasure
and all the banking equipment to a lit
tie town 900 miles in the interior on the
line of the Trans Siberian Railroad.
