The Man in Uniform.

To the Editor of The Star:
The editorial in The Star of Monday 1.-THE
Man in Uniform" is indeed worthy of the
consideration of all men who have ever
worn the uniform of our beloved land and
of those now in the service, whether they
be officers or enlisted men. The Star Is right
In the assertion: "A few years ago during
and Immediately after the war with Spain
the soldier and the sailor We're heartily
welcomed in all places. Their worth was
recognized. The ears of the public were
filled with stories of their heroism. ability.
fidelity and character, The soldier of to-
day as well as the sailor of today, Is just
as worthy of the consideration of gener-
Gus public as were those of US who took
part in the conflicts our country was en-
gagged In
The uniform of the American soldier,
sailor or marine is In itself badge of
honor, and is considered as such by all good
loyal American citizens, and any man, or
combination of men. who look upon 1t other
wise is, in my judgment, unworthy to be
called true Americans. What would this
great land of ours be today il 1t was not
for the men who wore the uniform In the
days of the revolutionary and civil wars?
1.-THE men behind the guns made the
rank and file of the men.now in the military
and naval branches of our country, who, IL
needs be. viii have to defend this land
should the occasion demand. This was
demonstrated In the Spanish war, and
when our country needed men thousands
of our best and most highly respected eiti-
zens donned the uniform of our country.
many of whom were buried in 1t in the
trenches in Cuba or the far-away islands
of the Paeifcthey were soldiers or sailors,
just as are their comrades OF today who
are wearing tile uniform. be that uniform
worn BY either an oficer or private. 10

Lyceum Entertainers.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, December 1906.
The charges against A. c. Burton OF the
Burton Lyceum Company has taken an un-
expected turn. Burton was arrested and
placed in Jail on charge of having swim
died the people of the city of Richmond.
Mayor Mccarthy openly and over his own
signature alluded to the man and his wife
and two other women as being thieves.
They were held by the police justice Of the
city on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and in default of bail
the quartet were committed to jail pending
an investigation of the case. 1t now trans
pires that the man A. c. Burton is a Brit
ish subject, and the British consul for this
city, P. A. s. Brine. went down to the jail
to see the prisoner. Burton has employed
counsel, and 1t is reported today that there
are tc be several suits for damages against
the mayor and the city for false arrest and
Imprisonment Burton Is a Mason OF high
degree, an Elk, and he carries with Gita
letters from a number OF ministers ana
other people testifyins to his character anu
reputation. His counsel are averse TO ms
giving bail, as the confinement in the cisy
Jail will make stronger the claim against
the city for damages.
The police are actively at work on the
case and they have, It is said, gotten the
names of nearly hundred people VINO
made contributions to the entertainmont
under the Impression that they were help
ing the church. Many of these people. 1t IS
said. failed to get tickets TO the entertain
ment. Masons and Eiks are standing by
the incarcerated people and will see that
they get q hearing and that they do not
want for anything. Burton has contract
which provided for the tickets taken in az
the door bat said nothing about tickets
sold and which were not used. 1t is said
that tickets to the amount Of $1,2o0 were
sold In the city. and that much more was
collected The church got $50.

Judge Houk's Gifts.
The late Judge Houk of Tennessee, who
was known among the panhandling fra
ternity as "a tender heart" gave away
much money to beggars. When q friend
suggested that he was being imposed on
by some of the grafters Judge Houk's re-
ply was characteristic of the man:
Maybe I am being imposed on by some
of those fellows. but they are not all i'm
posters. l would willingly give money &c
ten frauds If / could render needed and
deserved assistance in the eleventh case, or

the fact that you are hurting the

goods back and exchange them
when they are not satisfactory; and
the fact that you or any of your
neig hbors who are in hard luck can
always get financial help~from the
merchants here; in spite of all these
things, if you could get goods

SITIONS NEEDED BEFORE
THE GREAT BATTLE.
Attempt to Draw Off Japanese by
Feint With Cossack Raiders
Met by Advance of New
Army-Oyama Has
nearly 6oo,ooo
Men.


General Linievitch's army is even
more desperate than was that of
General Kuropatin before the de-
feat of Mukden, and the Japanese
general staf expects within a very
short time to receive the report that
the Russian army has either been
destroyed or captured.
When General Linievitch discov-
cred that he was nearly completely
surrounded, and that enol nous bod
les of Japanese troops were being
massed on his right and left, while
his center was being constantly
ehelled BY field artillery, he appar-
emily realized that it was impossi.
BILE for his 35o. 1000 men to Withstand
the assault of such superior strength
as Oyama's and he determined on
feint, in the hope that he might
draw off some of the Japanese for
ces. He ordered General. Mistchen-.
ko, with bis Cossack division, to at
tempt to penetrate the japanese
screen and try to cut their lines of
communication.
After losing heavily In several
engagements, the Cossack chieftain
made his way through Mongolia
and swept around the Japanese left
in the hope of drawing back some
of the troops from the north. In
stead the Japanese simply moved
forward a new army from Wonson
and drove the Russians back.
I General Oyama's troops have
now captured all of the most inn
Eportant positions necessary for the
fsuccess Of his contemplated move
ment, and word of a general en-
gagement is expected momentarily.
