ST. Petersburg Admits Critical Stua-
alton of kuropatkin

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 6, 1925 a.
n.-The fate of Gen. Kuropatkin and
his army hangs in the balance today,
depending on the result of the fighting
almost in the outskirts of Mukden.
According to latest reports this
morning the fighting went well for the
Russians, who beat back the wave
that threatened to roll over Mukden
as it did over the fortifications of Port
Arthur, but nothing is known as to
what is going on beyond the line OF
breakers, whether part of Gen. Nogi's
force is in full career for Tie Pass or
whether the Japanese have staked all
in cast against Mukden.
The imminence of the peril on the
west wing has withdrawn attention
from the operations on the center and
the left, where the fighting has been
extremely heavy and on the left, espe
cially where the japanese gains are
sufficiently great enough to cause APP
prehenslon.
Carnage is Awful
Military critics here point out that
the Japanese have put themselves in
a critical position by the extreme eX-
tension of their lines, laying them
selves open as they did at Lao Yang,
to the possibility of a most effective
counterstroke and probable defeat if
Gen. Kuropatkln should be able to
iouncb a ool,,,,o1 aOait1st q vraol- In, L
in the chain.
In other respects the situation also
resembles that at Lao Yang, the Jap
anese making a costly demonstration
to hold the Russians in their fortifica-
tions on the center and throwing away
the lives of thousands in order to give
the hanking force opportunity to ad-
minister a telling blow.
A feature of all accounts of the fight
ing reaching st. Petersburg is the
emphasis laid on the awful carnage.
There Is reference after reference to
dead piled high on the ground over
which an attack was delivered, strew-
ing breastworks almost hiding abatis
from sight and even being used by the
Japanese to construct hasty entrench-
ments.
Russian Losses Enormous
The Russian losses on both fanks
are conceded to be enormous, but it is
claimed that the defenders OF the center
surrendered comparatively little to the
Japanese bombardment and beating
off the Japanese attack.
The attacks delivered by General
Nogis soldiers were marvellous in view
Of the forced marches which they made
for five or six days, recalling the
records Of stonewall Jaeksons foot
cavalry" They entered the battle with
the greatest dash and fought day after
day with yigor, but those Of whom
were taken prisoners dropped to the
ground utterly exhausted and hardly
able to speak.

 Not wishing to lose control of the ju- dicial manipulation of affairs in boom ing gold district by being district judge of the Coast division, nor that of a booming copper district by being dis trict judge of the Yukon division, he hastened back to Washington. When he got there he opposed his already in troduced division bill and by political manipulations blocked it's passage. He thus defeated the will of the people and preserved his own judicial domain in- tact, with both gold and "coppers" un- severed and subject to his judicial man. ipulations. Since then he has been making the fight of his life to retain his position. as district judge. Would it not be advisable for the government to sen a ''gunboat" into the Third div ision for the purpose of shooting up" the corrupt federal officials thereof?
 If not, why not?"

 Wickersham does not seem offended at the governors recommendation that the salary of the district judges be i'm creased; he only winces where the shoe pinches. In fact he is just mad be- cause his corrupt manipulations are ex- posed, and he jumps into Brady think ing to gain some sympathy and support from anti-Bradyites. He seems offend ed because H. D. Reynolds personally requested the president to appoint some one as judge of the Third judicial div ision who was not interested in local matters. That was treading on the ''grand duke's'' financial conscience his vindictiveness towards Reynolds.

THE "GRAND DUKE" WOULD
 POSE AS A MARTYRED MAN

GOVERNOR BRADY does not seem much worried over that famous let ter from Judge Wickersham. If, as the letter infers, the governor has been campaigning against the judge, 1t would seem more proper for Wicker sham to submit the proofs of such to the president and Secretary Hitchcock, and permit them to propound the nec- essary questions to Governor Brady.
 While the ''grand duke" pretends to be offended at certain matter incorpor- ated in the governors report for 1904, he does not confne his questions to the specific statements therein, but branch es out into broad field of political in- uendo which infer him to be martyr sacrificed through political trickery. He asks Brady to tell him the names of the senators who spoke to the governor about him, and what they said and done to prevent his confirmation. Also. if any one else gave him any information concerning the administration of affairs in the Third judicial division.
 Wickersham also asks who said the court facilities in the Third Judicial division were in adequate, when he we'll knows that he himself has said so. To use Wickersham's words;- "this seems like two cats fighting across the fence.' Brady says there are things about Wickersham' prlvate character he does not like probably the govern or is fearful lest there be mlx-up

"COPPERS" AND GOLD BLOCK
 PASSAGE OF DIVISION BILL

THE PEOPLE of the Third judicial div ision are beginning to realize that Judge Wickersham has been playing them false in legislative measures at Wash ington and sacrificing their interests for his own aggrandizement and fnan- cial gain, as well as harassing them with his corrupt administration of jud- icial affairs. The exposure of his man. ipulations against the passage of the extra judicial bill places him before the people in his true light that of an un- reliable political mountebank.
 In the summer of 1903 he argued to the senatorial committee the necessity of the division of the Third district. In the fall of the same year Valdez, Eagle and Rampant petitioned congress for the division, owing to inadequate court facilities under existing conditions. At a public meeting held. at Rampant in the fall of 1903 for the purpose of ask ing congress to act. Judge Wickersham' henchman publicly sta.cl that Wicker sham desired the jud. .eship of the coast division on account of it being a more desirable climate to live in. Commiss- toner J. Lindley Green, sWickersham's local representative, thereupon made motion that memorial be sent to the president requesting the appointment of NV. Harlan as district judge of the Yukon division.
 At that time the great copper boom was under full headway at Valdez. Judge Wickersham visited Washington and assisted in Graf f:ing the division bill mixing Valdez and Eagle the court headquarters for each division. Leav- ing the bill before the senate judiciary committee, Wickersham went to New lorA, the headquarters for ''coppers, 7

Ceremonious Forms of Express
sion that Appear Vastly Anus
ing to the Listener Belonging
to the Old World.

Very curious are some of the rules
of etiquette observed by Chinaman.
Emile Bard, who has written a book
on the subject of Chinese life, says
that in nine cases out of ten, however,
the form of etiquette has replaced the
substance. With the Chinese a refusal
or unpleasant truth must be expressed
evasively. If a Chinaman does not
wish to accommodate a friend he
never gives the true reason for his
refusal; that would be discourteous.
He lies politely. The ceremonious
forms of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing to
the European listener. 1t is a fixed
rule that one must speak Of himself
and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the most
exalted language in referring to the
person or property OF another.
Whether two mandarins or two beg
CARS meet and accost each others this

favored with a suspicion of nutmeg,
