pRR0OGGRE OF THE MAR

The Japanese made valuable gains
at Port Arthur, when they took five of
the seven Keekwan forts. The engi-
neers had driven two tunnels under the
forts. Two tons of dynamite were in
serted into the tips of these tunnels
and exploded. The. forts We're breach
ed and select body of volunteers I'M
der septuagenarian Lieutenant Gen
eral Samejima rushed in. There was a
fierce had to hand fight for few mo-
ments, when the Muscovites' resistance
ceased The Japs captured five 50
inch cannons four smaller guns, and
four machine guns, together with a
considerable amount of ammunition.
One of the Keekwan forts taken seems
to have been link in the chain Of
inner forts. The other Russian forts
must be taken piecemeal in this way,
until enough of them have been taken
so that they can be regularly occupied
by the japanese and used for agrees
i've purposes against the remaining
groups of forts. When that time cones
the end of Port Arthur's resistance
will at last be actually in sight.
The same day-Sunday-the Japs
made gains on the other side of the
town in the direction of .2O3 Meter HILL
but they were unable on this side to
reach the main line of forts. On
Thursday the Japs pushed theic ad-
vantage still further by taking some
of the Russian works about Pigeon

to break his relations with the girl. 1t
was at an hour in the morning when
the streets were not crowded. There was
pistol shot and Young fell forward,
dead with a bullet in his chest. Just
what transpired in the glass-inclosed We
hicle probably win never be known.
For some days an absolute silence pre-
vailed. Then a food of alleged eye-wit-
nesses turned up. Their stories, how
ever, could not stand investigation, and
one after another the witnesses were
cast aside as sensation seekers. Then
an old man, Martin Hazleton, came for
ward. His probity was unquestioned
He told what he had seen on that June
morning. He saw the man and woman,
their hands clasped and held face high,
then a flash, a puff of smoke and the
report of a revolver broke the stiffness of
the morning.
The defendant herself went to the wit
ness chair and told the whole story of
her acquaintance with Young from the
day she met him up to the fatal moment
in the cab. She said her &C mpanion shot
himself He held both her wrists with
one hand and as she struggled to free
herself she heard revolvers report and
Young sank back dead.
This in brief is the story of a case
that has been three times nine days
talk in New York. There were many
sensational side lines to it, none of which
were brought out at the trial.

Togo's purpose has been throughout
not TO infiict the maximum of damage
upon the enemy but to cause him the
maximum amount of damage compati-
bic with the minimum amount of dam
age for himself.
The English newspaper critics have
bitterly criticised such tactics. They
say Togo should have sailed right in
and sunk the Russian fleet when he
had the chance on Aug. 10. But the
event shows that Togo was right in
all. Had he closed with the Russians
on Aug. 10 he probably would have
lost some of his own ships in destroy
ing the enemy, and had he fewer ships
than he now has the result of the bat
tie with the oncoming Baltic feet
would be most doubtful, indeed, and it
must always be remembered that if
the Baltic fleet is successful the war
ends at once, and in favor of Russia.

Destitution in England.

The threatened severity of the winter,
the increase of pauperism and the num-
her of the unemployed combine to form
a problem which is occupying the atten-
tion of the authorities in London. Pau
perism is increasing 20 an alarming de-
gree in the metropolis. The figures for
the week show that 1915 persons were
receiving indoor, and 1921 outdoor re-
lief. This is an increase of $3.50 on
the figures for the corresponding week
in 1903.
In the great cities of England the
unemployed are more numerous than ever
before. In Birmingham there are 1000
families in an almost destitute condi-
ton. In Glasgow, Scotland, the corpora

ton has guaranteed the employment of
