The Significance of Mukden.

So the Battle of Mukden takes its
place in history beside Marathon and
Arbela, Chalons. Tours, Luetzen,
Blenheim, Leipsig, Waterloo, Gettys-
burg, Sadowa. Sedan and Plevna;
and perhaps when a century or two
have passed, few of these other fam
Gus battles will be so well remember
ed. For Blenheim, Leipsig and Wa
terloo seem like family quarrels com
pared with the great STRUGGLE be-
tween races and civilizations to
which Mukden belongs. 1t is one of
the steps-perhaps one of the most
signiicant-in the world-old conflict
between East and West. When the
curtain rises, We see 1000 Greeks
facing 100000 Persians-facing them
and turning them backward by their
courage and by the Odyssean stra-
tegy of Miltiades; next the Greeks
have swept through Persia, and AL
eXander's $4,000 Macedonians put to
flight the million v~assals of Darius.
Thenceforward western civilization
has ruled the world-with one tenn
porary exception. In the seventh and
eighth centuries the Orient was
aroused and given strength by the
coming of Mahomet. and for a time
the Saracens swept westward ire
sistibly, and it seemed as though all
Europe must fall under their sway.
Then stood forth Charles Martel be-
tween Pointers and Tours and turned
back the hosts of iAbdwer-Rahman
and from that time (732) the tide of
Mahometan conquest ebbed. Does
Mukden mark the ebbing of the west
ern flood that followed? We shall
not see. perhaps, but our grandchil-
dren may. 1t must intoxicate the
Imagination of any people of yellow
race to attack not one of the smaller
white nations. but a mighty power be-
fore which Great Britain has trem-
bled, and discover that inside the gil
gatnic armor there is nothing but a
puny child. In the negotiations for
peace that must come soon, Japan's
demands will. not be modest. and if
any western power should hinder
their attainment, would she humbly
bow her head as she did after she had
conquered China Selected.

Slow One to Third.

Rock Island. ILL.,, April s, 1905
Sporting Editor ATgus-In reply to
baseball puzzle in tonight's Argus, l
believe the following solution meets
the conditions: The batter hits slow
grOunder to third and the third base
man threw home to catch the man
who had started home from third
base. The runner beat the ball home
and the catcher then threw to first but
was too late to put out the batter.
Meantime, the runner from second
reached home making the two scores
on the play and winning the game.

nights Argus: Runner on second
base also runner on third base takes
large lead. Batter hits a slow ground
er to infield 1t is fielded clearly but
slow and the batter beats the throw to
first base. In the meantime one run
has been scored and the other runner
is on his way home. He makes a slide
and evades the touch.

puzzle: The batter hunts the ball,
pitcher gets it and throws it to first,
runer beats 1t out, man on third scores,
man on second goes to third. first base
man throw it to third, runner safe,
man on first goes to second. Third
baseman throw to second man on
third scores and rIhner to second safe.

It happens quite frequently.
