RUsSIA'S CHANCES THE BEST.

RUSSlA'S CHANCES hit bESl
The sympathies of the United States
army officers may be with the Jape-
nese, but there is no doubt that they
are of the opinion that Japan will not
win % the war. They base their opin-
ion that Russia will be successful
mainly upon Russia's superior strength
and her logged determination. o.
this line the Savannah News says
"There is no doubt that Russia can
put into the field twice, perhaps three
times, as many men as Japan, and nus
sia can stand defeat. The oellet Is
that the Japanese will become dlscour
aged il they meet with two or three
setbacks.
"The Russians have the tenacitv OF
purpose and the logged determination
that tell in long light, and though
they may be slow In getting into action
they will stay there as long as there is
the least hope of winning. A long
fight, however, will be regretable
from every point o. view 1t Will ais
turb many interests. Its i'll effects
Will be felt in this country and about
every other commercial country.
NORTH, east and west there is COM
plant of d shortage of schOoim's-
tresses. Whether or not the shortage
extends to the south we are not in
formed, but in New England, in the re-
zion of the Great Lakes and at least as
far south as West Virginia, according
to a recent publication, the lack OF
competent women in the schools Is be-
ing seriously felt. 1t is pleasure 10
note that the schOoma'am is having
her inning, even at the expense OF a
shortage of her in parts of the coun-
try.

doing il as anybody.
Hon. J. J. FLYNT of Spalding an
