CRISIS IN EASTERN WAR.-NavaI and mill
tary officers have been discussing with much in
terest in the last week the situation in the Far
East as IT is controlled by the proximity Of the
opposing fleets AS expert member of the
General Staff. expressed it. the critical moment for
both nations has arrived when each must win It
is the best. and of the experts think it is the
last opportunity the Russians will have of getting
advantage over their energetic. ingenious and
mobile enemy. If the Russians capture or de
Stroy or even cripple the Japanese fleet there will
be some chance of interrupting the transportation
plans OF the islanders The latter entirely de-
pendent for their success in Manchura their
facilities for moving troops and the enormous guam
uty OF supplies required in the maintenance of
large body of soldiery such must be kept in the
interior OF Manchuria- 1t would be a telling blow
al the japanese power TO wage war If the
russians could drive the japanese feet to
cover, and this must be the project which is
garded as important above all else in the Russian
plan or onenCe. On the other hand, this RESPONSE
bility must be recognized quite fully by the
japanese, and naval officers curious to
what extent the japanese admiral will engage the
Russian ships. The japanese can afford TO take
no risks and they have the advantage Of doing
damage at longer range than the Russians il is
expected the nghtlng Will be at great distances, in
the nope that the Russians may be disabled with
out the risks Of fighting at close range 1t is es-
sental that the japanese shall preserve their ships
and this must be done. say naval officers whether
or not the Russians get away Judging from. past
performances. the Japanese will maintain their
superiority of tactics and strategy added to which
they have the greater weight of gun power In the
calculations OF the experts on the next encounter
II IS pointed out that the persona: equation enters
more into the situation than awning else II ie
the desperateness of the relative rspOnsihiIfties
which gives special interest to the next CoIlisOn

New York, June 16.-Superintende
Hendricks of the state insurance depart
ment, said today that ne had not yet
submitted his report in the Equitable
matter to Governor Higgins. He de-
clined to say when he would do so.

days meeting of the executive commit
tee will be purely routine. Mr.. Morton
said he did not expect to meet the
Equitable trustees today.

to be the opinion of that committee that
the voting trust will assure an honest
administration Of the SOciety's affairs in
the interest of the policy holders and in
view of the delay in the contamination
Of mutualiza ton, the present plan is en-
titled to the support of the policy hold
ers of the society; that the power to
nominate directors to fill the existing
vacancies in the board. the power and
duty hereafter to elect q majority of the
directors upon the suggestion of the
policy holders themselves and to elect
all other directors OF their own uncon-
troIled choice. vested as it is in trus-
tees of the highest character, justifes
our belief that the objects for which
this committee was organized will have
been accomplished. as far as is posi-
BILE at the present time and that the
rights and interests of the policy holders
will be protected"
