Completeness of Defeat Explained.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says the completeness of the
Russian defeat was largely due to a mis-
taken battle formation. The armored ships
were on the starboard side with cruisers
and gunboats on the port side. The Japa-
nese main force coming from the northwest
attacked the port line first and promptly
threw 1t into disorder. This disorganized
the starboard line. Thus the real action
was of very short duration but the sinking
of so many ironclads and the surrender Of
others without fighting, the correspondent
says, demands explanation.

impatiently.
How WAS it possible for amy man TO

Frank made for the staircase and VAS
quickly standing outside Isaacs door.
The playing was really not bad: in
fact it was good. Strange that the jew
should not nave mentioned that he WAS
master of such a difficult instrument as
the violin.

looked in by special invitation at his
