COST TO RUSSIANS
THEY HAVE LOST 100000 men
In The FAR EAST WAR.
War Office Criticisms Backed Up by
Exact Figures up to March 12-
Thought Lightly of Japanese Sol.
diers-Exposing Secrets Causes Sen.
sation in ST. Petersburg.

Stung by the wholesale criticism
lately heaped upon the war office for
it's unpreparedness and incapacity in
providing the Manchurian army with
men, guns and munitions, the govern
ment lays bare what has been done
since the opening of the war, giving
the exact figures.
From these it appears that up to
March IL the war office has dispatched
1908 officers, 761 ,467 men, 146,308
horses. 1921 guns and 3,163,321 tons
of munitions and supplies to the
front Declaring that the transporta-
ton strained the Siberian railroad to
it's utmost capacity, the army organ
admits that the army in the far east
when the war was begun was hardly
worth the name (no figures being
given) but it is known that the troops
did not exceed $4,000 men, practically
defenseless because the emperor de-
sired to avoid war and, therefore, re-
Trained from sending reinfOrcements,
which surely would have provoked it.
Taken by Surprise.
The criticism that the war office
failure to adequately supply Port Ar
thur is met by the statement that it
was provisioned for a garrison of II
battalions, the decision to put 80 bat
talions there being taken SO late that
the original calculations could not be
remedied While affirming that the
quick firing guns and field guns of the
Russians are superior to those of the
Japanese, the war office explains that
the misfortune in the insufficiency OF
the mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting a new pattern. II
is denied that the war office was de
ceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves
but the organ frankly admits that the
talents of the officers and the wonder
full spirit of the soldiers were miscal
culated.
Nearly 100000 Men Sacrificed.
The publication of this article hal
created a sensation. Many of the mil
itary men are censuring the genera
staff for disclosing secrets, and tint
a practical admission that the war has
cost almost 100000 men in killed
wounded, prisoners and sick, as the
whole effective army in the far east l:
now believed not to exceed 10000 men
The preliminary press censorship OF
books in Russian as well as torelg1
languages has been removed. Ihe
books now printed go to the censor
by whom their sale must be authorized
within seven days, or, if it is alleged
that they violate the criminal law, the
question of confiscation must lmmedl
ately be submitted to and decided by
the courts. Heretofore manuscripts
were sent to the censor, and some
times were held for months and years

Colombian NRain Tree"

A novelty in the vegetable kingdom
has recently been reported as native
to the United States of Colombia. In
the woods adjacent to the city of
Moyobamba grows a tree which the
natives call rain tree" It is about
fifty feet high when it reaches ma
turity and about three feet in diameter
at it's base, and has the property of
absorbing an immense quantity of hui
midity from the atmosphere. This
is concentrates and subsequently
pours forth from it's leaves and
branches in a shower and in such
abundance hat in many cases the
ground in it's neighborhood is convert
ed into veritable bog. 1t possesses
this curious property in the greatest
degree in the summer, when the riv-
ers are at the lowest point and water
is scarce. 1t has been suggested that
this tree be planted in the more arid
parts of Peru for the benefit of the
farmers.

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.

out excessive fatigue, and you break

shaky at the least ~provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any,
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out you need building up
at. once! To build up woman's nerv-
GUS system and during the period of
change of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Here is an
illustration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, s71
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, Ill, writes:
"Ihaveused Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound for years in my family and it
never diSappoints so when l felt that I was
nearing'th change of life commenced treat
ment with it. I took in all about six bottles
and it did me q great deal Of good. It
stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back
and the headaches with which / had suffered
for months before taking the Compound. I
feel that if it had not been for this great med
icine for women chat I should not have been
alive to-day. It is splendid for women, old or
young, and will surely cure all female disor-
ders."
