The Russian government shows a
rcontemptible spirit in seeking to need
lessly humiliate General Kuropatkin,
He should have been treated with cour.
tesy for his services in other wars.
His loyalty has never been questioned.
success was required of him and he
did not furnish it. His failure would
give good ground for a change of CON-
manders If there were any need now
for commander. 1t does not give
reason for adding insult to removal.
The failure of Russia became a GER
tainty when the Japanese DESTROYED
her feet. II she had had in Manchuria
the best army in the world. command
ed by the ablest living general, she
would have been crushed by Hhe
weight of numbers. True, Japan has
not had more men in Manchuria than
Russia, but this was only because she
did not need more. She could have
Outnumbered the Russians there, and
would, if it had been necessary.
But the japanese did not need as
many men as the Russians, because
their army was as near a perfect fight
ing force as any the world ever saw.
It moved with the precision of a ma
chine-a machine composed of men,
each one a fanatic, ready to die. but
never ready to give way. BY the JAP
anese everything was done in silence
and with precision. Among the Rus
sian army there was neither silence
nor precision. This difference was not
chargeable to the commanders 1t was
a difference in the two governments.
Japan is governed by statesmen. Rus
sia is governed by court fayorites.
In spite of this, Russia's large pop-
ulation and mammoth army make her
a great power In Europe, but she can
not compare with Japan in Eastern
Asia-too distant to permit the en-
ployment of her overwhelming num-
bers.
Russia went into this war boastfully
and with. no fear of failure. She did
not expect to need to exert much of
her strength. Men who were we'll
posted knew better Nations are some
times blind. When they are ruled by
personal friends of the so-called ruler
they are generally blind. France was
blind in 1870 and Sedan completely re-
stored ner sight. Russia was blind in
1904 and processes not to see even
after Mukden. The French govern j
ment should have known in 1870 that 4
Prussia alone had a stronger army
ihan France. without counting on the
Other German states. The Russian
government should have known that
Japan of 1904 was not the Japan OF a
half century before, but was fully
abreast with nations Of equal size in
Europe. Il
Kuropatkin realized the magnitude

IMMIGRATION
TO THE LAND OF FLOWERS.

a recent issue of the Gainesville
Sun contained the following article
relative to immigration to the Land
of Flowers:
Another large colony of Germans is
expected to arrive in Pensacola the
first Of April, and they will locate in
the territory known as the Perdido
section, having been induced 10 come
to Florida by the Pensacola Invest
ment Company.
Experience in the Northern states
has shown that the Germans ana
Dutch make as good citizens as any
who have settled in that part of the
country, and among the thrifty farm
erS Of Ohio, Indiana. Michigan and
wisconsin, the Germans. predominant
ed. They are industrious and in near
ly every instance build good homes
and attend strictly 10 their own busi-
ness. In their business transactions
they are scrupulously honest, and it
is seldom you will ind a lazy person
in a household of Germans, the men,
women and children all taking hold
when they start out TO make a home.
Wherever LhSy may locate
In communities where they are
found in great numbers there is al.
ways thrift, the laws are obeyed. and
no fear need be had of their being
anything but good citizens, as they are
generally too busy attending to their
own affairs to interfere with others.
The state Of Florida can furnish
plenty of lands that are better than
many Of these people occupy in the
North, where the have settled in the
woods ana by hard labor brought
forth from those dense forests many |
beautiful farms, occupied with sub |
stantial buildings, and in a section
where advantages are not to be COM
pared with the lands in this state to |
be had at very small price.
West Florida offers particular ad-
vantages 10 all classes of immigrants. |
The climate is superb, the soil fertile
and lands may be purchased at rea-
sonable prices and upon favorable
terms. And, best of all, the new
conner to this section always finds a
hearty welcome awaiting him.

the scholarship recently conferred by
the Washington and Lee University,

HARD FIGHT CALAMITY WON
The Wasp Returns to New

tie With u Hurricane.

Newport, R. l., Dec. 13.-The little
gunboat Wasp, formerly the yacht Co.
lunbia, came into port Tuesday after
noon under one boiler and several calls,
after a terrific battle with a North At
lantic hurricane, during which she
sprung a leak, and was kept afloat, after
her pumps choked, through hand ball
ing by her entire crew.
The little vessel was blown nearly to
the gulf stream by Sundays storm, and
was nearly two days getting back to
port. At one time the water which
came in through the leak in the stern
flooded her engine room, and for ten
hours, on Sunday, the Wasp vas at the
mercy of the waves. The crew of 60
men, a third Of whom were naval ap-
prentices and unused to boisterous con-
ditions, bailed for many hours with
buckets and succeeded in freeing the
engine room Hospital Steward White
sustained a broken rib, but refused to
give up his place in the bailing line.

BOOMERS FOR STATEHOOD
The Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Rooters Invade Sacred Precincts.
Oklahoma Girl, lakes a Hit
Singing "OkIahoma."

Washington, Dec. 12.-Single state
hood for Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory was promoted, Monday, in one of
the most novel performances ever en-
acted in the national capitol building.
A delegation $50 strong from these ter
ritories called to pay it's respects to
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the
committee on territories. The com
mittee room would not accommodate
all the visitors and the senator received
them in the corridor and addressed
them there. The overflow occupied the
stair leading to the marble room, one
of the semi-sacred precincts of the sem
ate.
The prettiest scene of the entire pro-
ceeding was at the close, when Helen
Renstron, a ~15-year-old girl from Okla
homa City, sang three verses from COX
lahoma" the joint statehood song. BY
this tine it seemed as if half the
habitues of the capitol, including a
number of senators, had been attracted
by the gathering. The little girl has a
remarkably good soprano voice.
When she had finished, Senator Bev-
eridge shook her hand and thanked her
for the privilege of hearing her sing,
saying that anyone who heard her
would be sure to favor the cause she
promoted. Other senators praised the
little girl, who departed with her
friends, wearing a happy smile.
