President Roosevelt received the fol.
lowing telegram from the Russian
ENJOYS:
"PoETsMOUTH, n. H.. Aug. Do
The President: We have the honor to
inform you that We have reached an

Sakhnlin a Tragic Island.

The island of Sakhalin, which has
figured in the terms of peace agreed
upon by Russia and Japan, is the
place to which Russia sent its violent
convicts. The convict at Siberia has
some liberty to console him for his
detention, but the convict in Sakhalin
has none. When a party of convicts
having been pronounced evident"
by the governor of the Siberian sta.
ton is landed at Sakha!in the pro-
cession to the jail is as follows: First
among the prisoners come men with
letters on their legs and linked to-.
gether in pairs, the clanking of their
chains making a lugubrious noise.
Next come half a dozen men, each
without letters, but secured by the
hands to a long iron rod. Then fol.

elected to accompany into exile their

rumble "telegas," or rough wagons,
wherein are transported baggage and
those children who are loo young or
infirm to walk.
While on the march the prisoners
are allowed three pounds Of bread and
one-half pound OF meat each day, and
they are not forbidden to receive aims.
But when they arrive at their destina.

EPITOME OF the WAR.

A state OF war between Japan and
Russia dates from February i, 1904.
when Japan severed diplomatic rela.
tons with Russia. The conflict was
in progress until August %, l9O5--a
period Of 573 days.
SUMMARY OF CAUSES.
l. Refusal of Russia to recognize
the complete sovereignty of China over
Manchurla.
,. Refusal of Russia to admit
Japan's paramount interests in Ko-
rea.
}. Refusal of Russia to recognize
the full commercial rights Of other
nations in Manchuria.
l.. The dependence of Japan upon
Korea as a market for her manufac-
tured goods and for her supply of
food.
). Eucroachment OF Russia upon
territory along the Yalu river.
On January s., 1904, Japan sent her
final note to Russia, demanding an
Immediate reply, the failure Of such
reply to be forthcoming to be fol.
lowed by war. y few days later, Ba.
ron De Roseu, Russian minister to
Toxic, vas notified that Japan in
tended to sever diplomatic citations
with Russia. simultaneously. Minis.
ter Kurino, japanese envoy to St.
Petersburg, demanded his passports.
On the eighth day Of February Japan
declared that she would take military
steps TO protect her interests in the
far east.
1t has never been definitely deter.
mined whether or not Japan took the
first hostile steps before she declared
war, but the generally accepted theory
is that she seized Masampho, in ko.
rea, on Feb. !, "a day prior to her
declaration.

Strategic Value Of Sakhalin Island.

The island of Sakhalin, or Sagha-
lien, which was occupied by the Jap
anese during the closing scenes Of the
war, lies north of Japan just OIL the
Siberian coast. To appreciate its
military value it must be borne in
mind that the island, which Is 600
miles long, lies almost against the
mainland, being separated from it by
places is only four miles wide. Physi.
cally it might be almost considered Il
part of the Asiatic continent. 10
allow Sakhalin to pass into the hands
of Japan would be like America allow.
ing Long Island, or England allowing
the Isle of Wight, to pass into the
possession of au ambitious foreign
power. The danger from Sakhalin
passing to Japan would indeed be
greater for Russia than the loss Of
Long Island by America, as the length
of Long Island Is scarcely one.tifth
that of Sakhalin.
There is no doubt that whoever
controls Sakhalin. besides being ia a
position to threaten and invade the
Asiatic coast, would be in 4 position
to absolutely prevent communication
between the mainland and the Pacific
through the sea of Japan. The island
has an area of between 80, 900 and co.
600 miles, and although its general
shape is that of fish, at certain
points its width is only Is miles. 1t
is, therefore, peculiarly adapted for
offensive and defensive purposes. 1t
could easily be transformed into a for
midable military and naval strong
hold, from which expeditions might
be launched and efficiently supported.

JAPAN'S PEACE VICTORY.

The announcement that the Japanese
and Russian peace ENJOYS had sud-
denly reached an agreement came as
a surprise to the general public. 1t
was apparent that a deadlock had
been reached upon some of the impor-
tant features of the japanese terms,
but the general impression was that
extended discussion of the disputed
points would be had at Toxic and St.
Peters burg, and that concessions re.
garding such matters would be made
by each side. The conference pro-
~ceedings were unexpectedly termin-
ated, however, by the Japanese repre-.
sentatives conceding everything to
which the Russian diplomats made
emphatic objection.
This generous action Of Japan to.
ward a vanQuished foe entities her to
the admiration and respect of the civil
lied world. In her magnanimous
treatment of Russia, the victorious
nation follows the example of the

1t is quite possible that some of the
demands that were abandoned by
Japan were made for. the purpose of
securing Russian acq uiescence upon
other articles contained in the pro-
posed terms of peace. Be this as it
may. it was realized that Japan held
the top hand, and ia the event OF fail
ure to reach 40 agreement was in a
position TO inlict further punishment
upon the Russian forces now in the
field.
The significant fact of the terms of
peace is that Japan gains the points
upon which wal was declared. Russia
must retire from Manchuria and
Korea, which she promised to do two
years ago-her failure to keep that
promise resulting in the long and dis.
astrous war with Japan. by the terms
of peace accepted, Russia agrees to
'keep off the grass in that part OF
the Orient.
The part played by President Roose-
welt in the peace negotiations may
mover be fully known, but it Is &C.
knowledged by the ENJOYS of both ma
tions that his good services were exer.
cised in a n that assisted greatly
in %effecting a settlement of matters in

forts in this connection, the president

Woman's Kingdom Sacrificed.

We have somewhere seen 1t assert
| ed that the women who have done
| the most to move the world for good
| were the women with natural-sized
waists. We do not doubt the truth of
this. Deep breathing has much to do
with deep thinking; a CONSTRUCTED
waist means small vital capacity;
natural waist means large vital ca
pacity, and consequent ability OF
healthful. vigorous life and action.
Said Miss Frances Willard, in one of
her addresses:
BE 1t remembered that until woman
comes to her kingdom physically, she
will never really come at all. Created
to be well and strong and beautiful,
she long ago sacrificed her constitu-
tion, and has ever since been living
on her bylaws. She has made of her
self an hourglass, whose sands of life
passed quickly by. She has walked.
when she should have run. sat when
she should have walked, reclined when
she should have sat.
"She has allowed herself to become
mere lay figure upon which could
be fastened any lump or hoop or
farthingale that fashion mongers
show; and ofttimes her head is a mere
rotary ball, upon which milliners
perch whatever they please-be It bird
Of paradise or beast or creeping thing.
She has bedraggled her senseless
long skirts in whatever combination
OF filth the streets presented, submit
ting to a motion the most awkward
and degrading known to the entire
animal kingdom; for nature has en-
dowed all others that carry trains
and tails with the power of lifting
them without turning in their tracks,
but fashionable woman pays lowliest
obeisance to what follows in her own
wake; and, as she does so. cuts the
most grotesque figure outside a jump

Physical Reinforcements.

One of the most sensible things a
person can do, whether he is sick or
well. is to reinforce his strength as
fast as possible, by availing himself
of all the assistance that he can Sc
cure by the enthusiastic and intelli-
gent employment of the various phys
biological agencies that are within his
reach.
The most important trio of natural
remedies is dietetics, hydrotherapy
and proper exercise Other valuable
agencies are pure air. light in various
forms, electricity and cheerfulness.
Most people could very materially in
crease their physical defense by Sc
curing the reaction from a daily APP
pication of cold in some form. Care
full scientific observations have shown
that such a treatment increases almost
Immediately the number of white
blood cells in the general circulation,
thereby increasing the ability of the
body to capture germs as well as to
repair diseased structures.
A general who could so easily add
to the fighting strength of his army
would certainly be regarded as lun-
attic If he did not avail himself of the
opportunity. Yet there are thousands
of semi-invalids who do not concern
themselves in the least as to how they
may improve their weakened and wan
ing life forces.
There are multitudes of these who
only need to adopt wholesome and
rational dietary to be speedily enamel.
pated from their present state of in
validism. Others would in an amaz-
ingly short time be able to shake off
the moss of disease if they would be-
come sufficiently aroused to cease
their sedentary life, and begin to en-
gage in active, stirring physical exer-
else. OF course, at first there would
be some rebellion on the part of the
unused joints, and long-time-neglected
muscles.
The same sunlight that can place a
halo of glory on all nature, can put
color into the pale cheeks that have
been so carefully shut away from its
health and llfe-giving beams.
