NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.
Last Defender Would Have Fallen in
Another Month.

despite mis- determination not to surrender

SITUATION following the capture OF Two
Hundred and Three meter hill. from
which the last Russians retired Dec 6.
The sailboat which came through "A
snowstorm Dec 16 with half-frozen mes
sengers. headed by Commander Mizzen-
eoff. carried among others. two import
ant dispatches. One of these was ad-
dressed to St. Petersburg asking. what
were the prospects of the arrival of the
Russian second Pacific squadron, and the
other went to General kUroDatlIin inquir-
ing when relief from the Manchurian
army would be likely. Both dispatches
stated that after another month RorI
Arthur's last defender would have fallen.
Given Full Authority
The authorities at St Petersburg gave
the required irtormaulon and stated 70
General Stoessel that he had won the
confidence Of the government and that
whatever he did would be accepted as
being for the best.
General KurOpatkin answered to the eff
feet that he had his hands fun and was
not able to promise early relief.
These replies were entrusted to a mes
senger who is personally known 10 the

It is highly probable that the tidings
he brought weighed materially with Cen

wishes of his generals whe nthey pro-
posed the surrender of the fortress.
Blessing in Disguise.

"seience." What is needed there i:
wholesome physical and mental devel
opment, not the acquisition of tricks
for unfair advantage.
The art Of wrestling is no more nee
essary in the education of an army OF
naval officer than it is in the educa
tion of lawyer or doctor. Wrestling
has no more place in the military pro
fession than it has in any other 1t i;
not the business of the officer to wres
tie
1t is desirable for all men, whatever
their vocation may be, to be physical
ly strong and vigorous and able to
take care of themselves when at
tackled. But it is not desirable that
young men should be taught an art Of
attack rather than of defense.
Perhaps lots of people dimly imag
inc that it is by jiu jitsu the Japs
are defeating the Russians. This is
but another of the numerous errors re-
garding this art.
