OF
JAPANESE war

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The
announcement has just been made
that the new manual for the sabre
and bayonet drills for the army,
on which the officers of the general
staff have been working for some
weeks, will soon be given out.
Hitherto these manuals have called
| for much skill on the part of the
enlisted men, so much, indeed, that
| few of them were ever able to &C
Quire the art of welding either
weapon in a satisfactory manner.
1t is proposed to omit from the new
manuals everything of fancy fenc-
| ing character, such as is taught in
the private drill rooms. 1t is intend
ed that there shall be a return to
the simplest methods, and that
everything shall be on the most
practical and useful basis. Both
weapons are intended for use in
time of war, especially the bayonet.

sian and Japanese armies have fur
nished special reports on the sub
ject to the general staff and such
experts as Captain Herman j,
koehler, the master of the sword
at the Military academy, and Civil
Engineer Cunningham of the navy,
who Is an expert swordsman and
who had charge of the Naval acade-

given valuable advice along the line

several weeks ago, based on the
results of the observations of our
military attaches with the troops in
Manchuria.

rung down upon its exposed corrup-
ton. The big six" Durham, Nc
Nichol, United States Senator Pen

missioner Martin and David H.
Lane, chuckled at the success in so
fine a mask behind which they can
manipulate a fight to regain their
waning power.
The voters didn't have anything
to say about the choice of the re-
publican decoy candidates.
When the gang saw that the four
despicable members they had Sc
lected wouldn't do, though hating
to change horses crossing a stream,
they called the republican city COM
mittee into session. Behind locked
doors and drawn blinds the commit
tee resolved itself into a county
convention and nominated the four
"eminently respectable" candidates.
Then they dredged up from the
depth of their hypocrisy a platform
upon which those candidates might
stand before the public. 1t was a
spread-eagle affair and had much to

party is big enough" to effect neces-
sary reforms within its own organi-
cation. The gang gave out the
time-worn argument that political
reform movements are usually eff
fected to satisfy the selfish claims
of "soreheads."

the first voice raised in the city

attempted to steal that enormous
franchise for themselves and CO.

known in Philadelphia as captains
of industry.
Browns ticket associates are pro-

politics of real responsibility.
Nothing could more fifty describe
the panic in the hearts of the Dur.

hypocrisy. or their cunning political
practices than the proceedings by
which their nominees were named.
Originally the gangsters, under

storm of popular derision and "or-

then slated after vigorous hunt
for candidates with clean personal
records who would accept.
The gang found them. They

After a while McClosky's boy got
to where the village school could
carry him no further. and the
schoolmaster grew deeply con.

What occurred during the sum.

everyone, but in the early part of
October the boy set off for a higher
institution of learning.

been some great potentate taking
