JAPANESE ARMY
|NVADES KOREA.
Force of 100000 Men in
Three Divisions, Advanc-
ing on Russians.

Shanghai, April "A letter received
here from Kobe. Japan. says the Japan
ese Government has 100000 troops in
motion and fully 10000 more under
arms in garrison and at the depots. These
numbers are exclusive of the Third Re.
serves. numbering l20. 600. which have
not been called to the colors.
The exact number of troops which
have left Japan for various destinations
is not known, but the entire first army
has been landed aud has established it
self in Northwestern Korea. with its
main base at Chenampho. The Japan
ese General Staff still carefully guards
the plan of campaign. but it is generally
believed that it will operate three
armies, each nominally numbering l0O,-
600 men, the second army landing west
of the Yalu river, and the third army
east of Niuchwang. The landings of
the latter two armies will be easily ac-
complished, for the light cruiser squad
rons can protect both movements.
1t is thought that the landing of "A
heavy Japanese force west of the mouth
of the Yalu will force the Russians to
abandon the fortification which they
have been erecting north of the Yalu
for the purpose of opposing the crossing
of the first army of Japan from Korea.
IL is also anticipated that the three
gr, at Japanese forces will operate in
conjunction. the third army. swinging
eastward from Niuchwang. seizing or
cutting the railroad and then engaging
in turning movement against the main
Russian position.
The Japanese are confident that the
Russians will be unable to transport
supplies sufficient to maintain IN Man
churia force larger than 500, 900 men.
The heavy detachments necessary to
guard the railroad and supply bases will.
it is claimed. reduce the Russian fight.
ing force to about 200, 200 men.
The japanese are requisitioning thou
sands of horses. and it is probable that a
considerable detachment of cavalry will
accompany each army. Though the
horses of the Japanese cavalry seem in
ferior to those of the Russians. the ia
panese officers say they will satisfactor-
lily accomplish the work planned for
them.
Much Japanese artillery. is departing
for the front. The guns seem light. but
it is believed that the japanese have a
number of heavy batteries equal in
range to the best European field artille-
ry. Japan also possesses a large num-
ber Of excellent mountain batteries.
which in a rough country will have a
distinct advantage over the Russians.
Ii seems certain that Admiral Togo's
failure TO dispose of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur has DELAYED the Japanese
land operations.
\ general thaw is now proceeding in
Korea and Manchuria, rendering the
country roads impossible to conduct
general military operations until the
ground hardens.

ArbOr and Highway Day.

Governor Warfield has designated

and in his proclamation. urges the peo-

propriatcly by planting tress and shrub

mends such literary exercises i'll the

specially enacted for their preservation.
Governor Warfield's plea for the song
birds should be needed by all thoughtful
and humane persons-by all who wish
to preserve natures feathered choristers
from extinction. 1t is cminently prop
with the preservation of the trees. The
average boy has mischievous propen-
sity for slaughtering the feathered dcni
zens of forest and field-and it is regret
able that this propensity extends to some
men who ought to know better. There
are many birds which are not classified
as song birds. but which are useful to
the farmer because of their consumption
as food of the insects and worms which
prey upon trees and vegetation. Boys
and men, for that matter. too, should he
taught the economic value of birds as
well as their aesthetic value. Then the
wanton and indiscriminatc slaughter of
feathcred creatures will cease, and boys
and men alike will be ashamed to take
the life of song birds. or of any bird
which is not classified as wild game.

Paris, June 10.- Miss Lena Morton,
daughter of Levi p Morton of New

poisoning which followed an operation
for appendicitis. Miss Morton's fam
lily were at the bedside when she died
The operation in itself did not
arouse serious apprehension, but the
appearance yesterday of blood poison
ing gave the case a grave turn. Miss
Morton rallied slightly in the after
noon, but later her case became hope
less and she sank gradually until her
death, which occurred early to-day

while her father was ambassador to

cultured and was a general favorite.

occurred. Friends of the family fear

but nothing of the kind has been done
this season and as result but little
over half the number registered last
year have come in. 1t is believed
that there are more dogs in Waterbury
now than there were year ago, but
one would not think so by looking over
the registry book, so that the officers
will have lots of chance for sharp
shooting when they get the order to
run down unlicensed dogs and put
them out of business.
