GEORGE ADE BACK

Three men who witnessed the famous
nIbeen-day battle Of Mukden arrived
yesterday from the Orient on the liner
Korea As a climax to the two weeks
OF excitement the three witnesses were
captured by the enemy. They are now
on their way home TO tell of their ex-
periences- Two Of them will whisper
their tale TO the Secretary of War and
10 nobody else. The third will tell
what he has not already told in the
columns Of the Chicago newspaper
which sent him TO the front with Kuro-
patkin's forces
The three prisoners OF war are Col
onel v Havard, assistant surgeon
general Of the United States army;
Captain W. V Judson of the engineer
corps and Richard H. Little, war cor
respondent for the Chicago News. They
were al attached to the Russian army.
Bound by the rules under which they
were allowed to accompany the Cars
forces, the army officers may not dis
cuss their experiences. Upon Little,
however. there is no restriction and he
has much Of thrilling interest to tell
Of that bloody engagement.
Little was with the Russian army
about a year. He admires the Russian
officers, but deplOres the lack of definite
purpose and narrOwness of many of
his former hosts.
Generally speaking, I found the
Russians fine fellows he said. "It is
true many Of them are not strictly
honest, but the principal reason for
there being more graft in the Russian
army than in our own and the armies
Of some other lands is that the Russian
army is larger, the business system
loOser and the opportunity for dis
honesty greater. Give the officers Of
any other nation an equal chance to
knock down and there would be found
just as much crookedness as uncovered
ia the Russian army. The history Of
our own wars shows that under the
star-spangled banner are many men
only too ready TO line their own nests
where Uncle Sans system Of account
ing leaves a hole in the granary wall.
Not all, not the majority Of Russian
officers are dishonest.
Although Little was present at the
battle Of Mukden. and at times in the
thick Of the confusion, he saw COM
paratively a small part of all that
happened. The battle line was 120
miles long. The Russian forces were
in retreat and to the smoke and rattle
Of artillery and small arm fire were
added the discomforts Of dust and
snow storms. II was a dust storm,
says Little, which saved the Russian
rear from annihilation.

ANXIOUS FOR CAPTURE.


Among the Russians were hundreds
only too anxious to be captured. These
loitered behind and added to the diff
cultles of the Russian officers in charge
of the retreat Other Russians looted
the vodka shops, became intoxicated
and playfully fired at friend and foe
as they reeled about the streets Of the
town. With the coming of the jap
anese in force order was quickly re-
stored and the non-com batant prison
ers of war were soon on their way to
TOXIC, homeward bound.
LITTLE has served with distinction, as
war correspondent, in Cuba and In the
Philippines and enjoys natioul repu-
tation as a newspaper man.
George Ade, who has promised to
write no more fables in slang, and who
left here on the Korea, returned on the
but wishes he had travelled under an
other name He met many people and
declares that nearly every introduction
was followed by strange silence while
the person introduced puckered up his
face in apparent readiness to show
proper approval when the man whose
witty pen has won him wealth and a
name should say something funny.
In trying TO live down his reputation
for humor Ade has acquired an almost
funereal cast of countenance. he says
he enjoyed the fresh air, feels fine and
is ready to tackle some hard work he
has mapped out for himself.
Rear Admiral Yates Sterling OF the
United States navy came home on the
Korea and next month will be placed
on the retired list. He was lately in
command of the Asiatic station, re-

the Japanese were preparing to close
IN on the enemy, a binding sand
storm caused general confusion. The
Japanese, unable to see where they
were going. halted.
1t was at this stage that Little wit
messed what he describes as the crazi-
est and braVest deed he ever saw SOL
dier dare. Before the sand storm the
Russians, in their trenches, had seen
the Japanese advancing in great force.
The sand shut them from the Russian
view. A Russian captain Of artillery
suddenly ordered his men to charge the
enemy. Out from the shelter of the
trenches the Russian soldiers dragged
eight guns and at full gallop the
little battery disappeard in the direc-
ton of the enemy. When close to the
Japanese line the battery got into ac-
ton and began pouring a murderous
fire into the Japanese lines.
This sudden onslaught threw the
Japanese into disorder and they were
preparing to deal with a large force,
when a sudden clearing of the air
showed them the eight-gun battery,
out on the open plain, without shelter,
boldly defying the hosts of the Mikado.
The artillery officer got safely back
to the Russian lines with four of
his guns. His bold interference had
no effect on the final outcome, but it
served to delay the Japanese advance
and did much to steady the Russian
retreat
Neither Little nor the two military
attaches who returned with him on the
Korea had any idea that they would
be captured. From the information
available they were in the safest pos
sible position. Suddenly the orderly
retreat broke into the widest kind of
confusion and japanese became mixed
up with Russians in a most bewilder-
ing way And then the capture and
for the captives, peace
When it became evident that the
Russians were abandoning Mukden.
says Little, the Chinese residents of
the place opened fire on the Cars
forces from the windows of their
houses killing many

concerning the receipts Of the office
during the past three months, The
figures are also interesting because
they show conclusively what the abol-

the city treasury during the quarter
$369.65 in fines, and fees aggregating
$227 In addition to the latter sum are
the fees of the police officers. totalling
$127.30 In brief the mayors office has
