TROCHA IS REPLACED
Vice and Virtue Separated by 8arbed
Wire Fence.

Minnehaha's trocha is repaired and
once more access across the Milwaukee
tracks to the row Of resorts opposite the
park entrance is cut off, This was only
accomplished after an encounter which
for a time promised riot and perhaps
bloodshed.
Two weeks ago the high wire fence was
laid low by some enterprising persons who
had cut the posts off near the ground.
After waiting some time the park board
ordered supplies and last Saturday half
dozen men with posts and tools appeared
on the grounds to do the work.
This band was met by resort owners
who warned the workmen that they un-
dertook the building of the fence at their
peril War seemed imminent and the
park board cohorts withdrew.
Later in the day a section gang Travelled
down the Milwaukee track. They car
ried posts and tools on a handcar and
stopping on the disputed territory, in
formed the objectors that they would put
up the fence They did it.

HISTORICAL FACTS.

AS general information, valuable in
the study of the present war in the
Orient, a few historical facts may be
useful. Genghis Khan or Jenghls
Khan was not a Persian, but a Mon
golian. He was born in Mongolia In
1852 and died in his native country in
1927. He conquered northern China,
took Pekin in 1915, and perfected the
conquest of central Asia 12lS-1221. lie
was the founder of the Empire of the
Mongols, which mastered large parts
of what is now European Russia. 1t
was descendant of Genghis Khan,
Baber, who established the Empire of
the Moguls, and captured Hindustan in
1926. This empire was divided between
the Mahrattas and the British in 1907,
and, in 1857, the last nominal Mogul
Emperor was deposed. In 1910, all
Russia, as it then existed, was invaded
by the Mongols and, except Novgorod,
reduced to possession. The Mongol
yoke continued until 1850.
These important data, in connection
with other points, at once explain and
deepen the extraordinary contrast In
the existing war, in which Russia has
represented not only European but
Asiatic medievalism, while Japan, more
completely Asiatic in blood, has stoou
for modern ideas. 1t was Napoleon
Bonaparte who said in substance, if
not in exact words: Scratch Rus
sian and you find Tartar under
meath" The Tartars or Tatars origin
ally inhabited Chinese Tartary. COM
Of "a,
Numerous tribes or peoples of mixed
Turkish, Mongol and Tartar extraction
now inhabit the eastern part of Rus
sia in Europe. In the Russian popula-
ton there is a deep Asiatic strain, and
Russian policy has been largely found
ed on the recognition of this truth
but without reference to modern con-
ditions.

not do his duty. 1t does not take long

no defeats and are brutaily impatient of

lags on the way to triumph does we'll
to keep the japanese public at dis
tance. 1t has got so now with Nodzu,
the commander before Port Arthur,
that his name is dragged in mud, as
Admiral Kamimura's was before he
sank the Rurik, and japanese journals
do not hesitate to urge him to commit
suicide. Yet Napoleon could not have
done more against a great fortress than
Nodzu has done since he began the in

valor his house in Toxic has been ston-
