Says Russia Will Win

San Francisco, July CDR. Nicolas
Sem of Chicago, one Of the foremost
surgeons in the country, has arrived
here from the orient. Among other
opinions he gave was one that Russia
will win
DR.. Senu was to have been made head
of the Red Cross branch of the Japan
ese army, but the emperor finally de-
cided to employ no one but native doc
tors.
Speaking of the affairs in the orient,
DR.. Sem said last evening that he was
in correspondence with DIR. Susuiki,
chief surgeon of Admiral Togos fleet.
The last letter | received from DIR.
Susuki was three weeks ago" he said,
land up to the time it was written the
total casualties among officers and men
in Togo's fleet consisted of 2S killed
and 6S wounded. That is the infor-
nation written to me by Susuiki, and
| am led to believe 1t is absolutely
correct, as he is Admiral Togo's fleet
surgeon and ought to know.
IAN this talk of inhumanty which
some correspondents are sending out
from the orient is foolishness. AS for
the Japanese, the worst that can be
said of them is that they are excessive
ly proud people. AS an instance of it,
they are treating all foreign attaches
and war correspondents like lot of
school boys.
Japan will do little unbending be-
fore the struggle is ended hoIyevar
The ultimate victory of Russia is inevi-
table.
Japan has made notable showing
and the world VIII give her credit for
it. But Japan can not hope to gobble
up her big antagonist. The most she
can get will be compromise verdict
The great nations will step in and
name conditions of settlement and Jap
an will without doubt secure Korea. +"
