The Ballad Of Ping Pong.
(After Swlnburne).

carter SWinDurue).
The murmqrous moments Of May
time,
What beautiful blessings they brlngl
As dew to the dawn of the daytime,
Suspicious OF summer to springl
Let others imagine the time light,
With maidens or books on their knee
Or live in the languorous lime-light
That tinges the trunk of the Tree.
Let the tlmorous turn TO their tennis
or the bowls TO which pumpkins be-
long,
But the thing for grown women and
men is
The pastime Of ping and Of pong.
The game OF the glorious glamour!
The feeling TO fight till you fall
The hurricane hail and the hammerl
The batter and bruise Of the balli
The story Of getting behind itl
The brief but bewildering blissl
The fear Of the failure to find itl
The madness at making a missl
The sound of the sphere as you smack
II.
Derisive. decisive, divlnei
THE riotous rush OF your racket
To mix and 10 mingle with mine!
The disdem dear to the king Is;
How sweet TO the singer his songi
To me so the plea Of the ping Is,
And the passionate plant Of the
pongl
I live for a. love for Il, like Il;
Delight OF my dearest OF dreams!
To stand and to strive and 10 strike Il:
So certain. 80 simple Il seemsl
Then give me the game Of the gay
time.
The ball on its wandering wing.
The madness that moves ia the May
time.

ARMY DIVISION HEADQUARTERS.
Chicago May Get the Northern and st
Louis the Southwestern.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 25.-Members Of the
General Staff Of the United States Army
are much interested in a discussion Of
impending changes which, 1t is said, will
involve a change in the location Of two
Of the present army division headquarters.
The division headquarters in question
are those of the Northern division now
located in st. Louis. and the Southwestern,
at present in Oklahoma. 1t is said that the
Northern division headquarters will be
transferred to Chicago and those of the
Southwestern division brought to st. Louis.
The reason as given given Tor the rimored change
ern division can be shipped more con-
veniently and its business transacted more
speedily from Chicago, while st. Louis is
the natural business center and distributing
point for the Southwest. Should this
change be made. which now seems as
sured. 1t ie probable that Missouri and
Kansas will be taken from the Northern
division and placed in the Southwestern,
as belonging most naturally there.

PORTSMOUTH. N. H., Aug. 25.-Baron
Komura, accompanied by Mr.. Sato, Mr..

the day in Manchester. N. H., inspecting
tho cotton mills. as the guests Of Gov.
McIAne. Nearly every one OF importance
in Manchester had been invited to meet
the party at the railroad station. Gov.

making Of New Hampshire political history.

The leading photographer had a camera

been expected that T. Jefferson Coolidge,
president Of the Amoskeag Corporation.

conduct him among the looms and the
shuttles, but something prevented at the
last minute. An informal luncheon was
served at the Derry Field Club, and after
ward the party saw Manchester and the
fields adjacent thereto from a private
trolley car, leaving on the 4:2o train, which
brought them back to Portsmouth In time
for dinner. There was even more en- =
thusiasm over their departure than for
their arrival. The crowd seemed bent on
having a public expression Of his opinion
Of their city from the Baron, who, however,
merely bowed with his hat in his hand
from the rear platform, while the pho
tographer laid several more paving stones
on his road to fortune.
There was feeling about the hotel that
the trip might have more in it for the envoy
than pleasure or instruction. which was
strengthened by the fact that 1t was taken
on the evening of the crisis. Mr.. Sato,
however, said that the growth of the cotton
industry in Japan was responsible for the
Baron's interest.
1t had been expected that Minister Taxa
hira would be ono Of the party, but at the
last moment he decided to remain within
handgrasp Of the pulse Of the situation.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS ROBBED.

Special Cable Despatch to TIE So

Special Cable Dsspdseh to The Sun.
LONDON, Aug. "a despatch to tho
Daily Mail from st. Petersburg says that
there Is growing indignation In st. Peters,
burg over the objectionable indifference
OF the Government toward the wounded
and crippled soldiers who have returned
from tho Far East. On nearly every street
one sees soldiers with an arm or leg or both
limbs missing making pitiable appeals for
aims. Some wear on their breast the Cross
Of 81. George, which is given only In cases
Of great personal bravery.
All have a right to be fed by the State
and receive q small pension, and II you ask
Why they beg, the answer invariably is the
old story Of Wholesale populations by off,
Gals.
'Thers have been Mortified instances re-
lated to mo. says tho correspondent, direct

for months in hospitals and then suffered
incredible privaions on the long journey
home, tho money appropriated for their
food having been stolen by officials.
For weeks they starved ON diet Of water

thsy arrived at their native villages they
and claimed the pensions promised to them;
but after tho first instalments no more
was forthcoming. and being wounded and
unable to work they have dragged them
selves to st. Petersburg. They came at
first believing that the Little Father would

tuds Of officials employed for the distribu-
ton Of pensions kept them back with prom
isss. When they became more pressing

The spectacle Of these Russian heroes

The inconsistency Of the Government u

Japan is more apparent than real. The
fact is the Government does not want

1.-THE only anxiety was lest the Japanese
concede the main point. The sole aim and
object is to prolong the war for several rem
sons: First. an enormous majority could
not understand pence without victory as
long as Russia has enormous forces on the
spot Secondly there Is nothing to pre-
vent Russia from continuing the war for

NEW ANGLO-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE.

Offensive and Defensive.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-A new Anglo-Japaness
treaty Of alliance, much broader In scope
| than the old one, was signed three days
before the adjournment Of Parliament
The official announcement Of the new alli-
!, anoe 10 being deferred until after the con-
clusion of the Portsmouth conference.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 25.--The new
treaty between England and Japan. which
Is said to have been signed three days be-
fore the adjournment Of Parliament. though
its terms viii not be announced till the end
Of the peace conference, Is said to be wider
in soope than the old one. This must mean
that Great Britain and Japan have entered
into IN offensive and defensive alliance In
stead Of tho merely defensive arrangement
which existed between them until the other
day.
The now treaty was the direct cause Of
the poetponement Of the general election
in England and the continuance Of Mr..
Balfour in power. The King was said to
desire the definite settlement Of the matter
while the present Government was In power
1t was known that the Liberals did not take
exactly the same View OF the relations,

II they come into power six months
from now they will not dare to interfere

should the opportunity come they might
not be so anxious to act In accordance with
the treaty as the Conservatives would be.
At the same time much would depend on
the statesman who happened to be at the
head OF the British Foreign Office.
In view Of the present strained relations
OF Great Britain and Germany, the Anglo
Japanese Alliance IL . very different thing
from the co-Russian and the Triple
Alliance, which are now alliances In name
and not hing more.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25.-The Wisconsin
Rendering Company, from which Charles
r. Pfister, the millionaire, was accused OF
having stolen Sl4,00O and for which the
Grand Jury recently indicted him, to-day
confessed judgment to Pfster Of notes for

Pfster had brought the suit to make the
company show 1t had claim against him,
II such were the case, a. charged In the

claim, and admitted Il owed Pfster money
on the notes he had bought up after the
indictment. and paid the claim. Pfister
will now 60 into the criminal court and
force the District Attorney to prosecute
him.
Since the Rendering company denies
that he stole their money, It is difficult to SEQ
how the District Attorney Is going to prove
his case. Pfister has from the first held
that he was innocent Of the charge that he
was indicted without evidence, and that
the indictment was returned because Of
political reasons.
