Milton J. CarstenS.

The sneaking hand of Death
has entered into our midst once
more and has quickly graspcd in
its octapus-like clutch, one OF the
brightest of our students. On
Wednesday evening, October 10th,
Milton j. Carstens a member OF
this institution died after an i'll
ness Of a week, Of typhoid fever.
Very few of the students knew of
his illness and those who did
know of it did not think of it as
serious.
Milton j. Carstens was twenty
one years of age and came from
New Iberia. He was educated in
the High School of that place and
came to Tulane very well prepared.
He entered the Freshmen Glass in
1901 and took an active interest
| in students affairs. He was a
member of the Gleudy Burke Lit
erary Society. So prominent was
he in this society and its work,
thet he was last spring chosen as
it's secretary.
In his death the University
loses one Of most promising of its
students and one who bade fair to
be of service to the world.
We publish elsewhere Memorial
resolutions drawn up on his death
by the Seniors, and by the Gleudy
Burke.

JAPAN READY TO MEET
RUSSIANS IN KOREA

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Japanese
troops landed at Gensan are intended to OPP
crate with troops that have now been sue
cessfully landed at Ping-Yang, the OPP
posite side of the Korean peninsula, says a
World dispatch from Kobe, Japan. These
two forces constitute Japan's second line
OF defense against the Russians, who are
marching over the Yalu into Korea. A first
line of defense has been arranged. 1t is
composed of picked troops who are lined
up along the south bank of the Yalu. Ii
is, however, considered most unlikely that
this army will reach its destination in time
TO intercept the invading Russians. The
second line may fail to hold the invao IS,
in which case it is expected that a land
battle would take place not far from Seoul.
In any case the Japanese preparations are
made with a view OF closing in on any body
of Russian troops that succeeds in forcing
it's way into the interior of Korea. Mobili-
cation of the army has been effected with
out hitch. The transportation of soldiers
and supplies By means of the railway from
the interior 60 the coast proceeded with
great precision.

MAY FEAR YELLOW PERIL

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10.-Russia is
evidently not prepared at this time to give
an answer TO the United States to Secretary
Hays note on the subject of the neutrality
Of China. AS previously stated in these
dispatches. hostilities having begun. the
military authorities must be consulted, and
the Car doubtless will refer the matter TO

Russia, il can be said. is certainly as
anxious as the United States that the war
cause no risings disorders in China. In
deed. the attitude OF China is already caus-
ing some misgivings here as she has not
yet declared her neutrality.
1t Is thought here that the action of the
japanese in flooding Picking with posters re-
lating their victories is part OF well-laid
campaign projected from the beginning TO
break down Russia's prestige in China for
the purpose Of ultimately effecting the union
OF the two races, which would make the
yellow peril n reality.
Russia has already learned OF the position
taken by several powers regarding Secre-
tary Hays note. Germany and Great
Britain. IL is understood. both express SYM
pathy with its purpose, but with an i'm
pOrtant reservation concerning Manchuria
which is now the theatsr of war Ger
many's views In this respect were antici-
pated. but Great Britain's failure to give
Secretary Hay unqualified support has
caused surprise here.

war as follows:
''Unhappily there is war upon the sea.
We are on friendly terms with both of the
nations who are now at war. We are at
tached by a bond of peculiar sympathy; the
one nation endeared Itself to the hearts OF
the American people by an expression of
their good will in the days of our sore
trial. Toward the other We occupy almost
the position of a foster mother, because 1T
was our navy that broke through the door
of that Eastern eXclusiVeness and let in the
flood of sunlight of modern civilization.
I'VE have declared our neutrality, which
we shall maintain. We have no interest
except that the war may end speedily. We
have no concern except that 1t may not
bring into the struggle any other nation
than those nations now in conflict L can
assure you that under no circumstances
which 1 can conceive is there danger to
the peace of our own Nation We are sure
this administration and it's chief know well
our dear land loves the pleasant pathways
of peace.
There never was a better time TO con-
slider the subject given me. There never
a day when it appeared more clearly
that 4 country should have its navy ready
instantly for war, and there never was a
country which has had more lessons on
the Importance of power on the sea than
our own. We won our independence on
the sea-"

NAY ATTACK JAPAN'.S
COALING STATIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE best naval
opinion here credits the report that the
Russian Vladicostock squadron of four ar
mored cruisers had left Vladivostock, and
it is believed that it will attack the two
coaling stations on the northern coast of
Japan. In anticipation of this move, il is
understood, the Japanese have several war
ships guarding these points.
In Russian circles it is believed that the
municipal government of VladivOstock will
be transferred to a nearby town, together
with the citizens, and the entire place
turned over 10 the army for use as a fort

From dispatches received here il is
thought the Japanese will confine their
naval operations for the present to the de-
struction of the Russian fleet at Port Ar
thur.
