Japanese Commander Points Out Rus
slams Fatal Mistake
By Associated Press.
TOXIC, Japan, July 7.-Commander
Akyama, who participated in the bat
| tie of the Sea of Japan, has prepared
for publication an extended statement
relating to the great conflict and it's
weight is on the side of gunnery the
hattleships and tactics as against the
destroyer and the torpedo.
He prefaces his statement by de-
claring that good gunnery depends
mainly upon the division officers and
asserts that the Russian officers were
lamentably lacking in training.
In the early part of the battle the
landed by the Japanese. Under those
circumstances it may be said that the
Japanese had three or four guns in
action to every one of the Russians, and
there was nothing very remarkable
about the disparity of the losses.
The admiral says that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky had been criticised for elect
ing to take the chances at Tushima. On
the contrary it was the wisest course
open to him. Tsugaru strait is long and
narrow, the season foggy and there
were mechanical obstructions. Distance
and coal were against Soya and the
time consumed in reaching that en-
trance would have betrayed the design
and his plight on emerging from Soya
would have been much worse than he
might reasonably hope for at Tushima.
Shows Greatest Error
The commander insists that the great
mistake of the Russians was in mar
shaling their vessels in double column
line ahead.
From the moment of going into action
in this formation the Japanese re-
garded victory as assured. Apart from
the impossibility of maintaining an
orderly formation when pursuing such
tactics for defensive purposes there was
the fact that only a few of the ships
could bring their guns into effective
action against the japanese fleet. The
latter ships were able to concentrate
their whole fire upon the leading Rus
sian ships and in return received only
limited fire.
Had the Russians adopted the
strategy of imposing the brunt of the
action upon their battleships while the
rest of the fleet broke through and
steered direct for Vladivostok the COM
mander believes they would have
achieved partial success. Instead of
doing that they followed the plan of
mutually aiding one another, and thus
when the head of the battleship column
got into trouble the others steamed up
and thrust their heads into the lions
mouth without being able to accom-
plish anything compensatory.
Regarding the question Of sinking
armored cruisers and battleships by gun
fire, the commander expresses the
opinion that the fact that the Russian
ships were exceptionally low in the
water contributed materially to the re-
suits. The Russians carried large guam
titles of coal, stores and ammunition
and thus weighted down and in
rough sea suffered badly from hits near
the water line that ordinarily would
not have been fatal

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The idea of women's rights in Francel An
assembly of men and women are sitting in
one of the old-fashioned drawing rooms of
an ancient house in the sleepy provincial
town of Meaux. They are looking out on
an admirable landscape from the high WIN
dows. and watching the falling Of the scar
and yellow leaves. In the distance. they
see the spire of the Meaux Cathedral in
which Bossuot preached submission and
obedience to women. Near the old hearth
where a bright wood fire burns, sits beau

the sacrifices she must make in devotion in
heroic acts that are never known because
they are part of her obscure mission "A

Paul Adam then speaks OF the American
women how they cross the ocean and travel
over continents alone, coming to France
alone, only for the purpose of buying
gowns and things" Then he speaks about
the independence of American women in
their own country, for he has been there.
But the young woman is ignorant of the
American woman. Her circle Is narrow,
she only sees her immediate surroundings
and everywhere is the same conflict-man

Fashion In Harness.

From Country Life in America
Probably not half a dozen horses are
eaparisoned today as they were twenty
years ago. Harness in this country then
was as distinctly American in type as was
the horse of a decade earlier, but If that
harness. whether for gig or carriage, were
to be seen on the drive or in the park to-
day 1t would be greeted with supreme ridi-
Guile. although 1t was then considered the
proper thing. Whatever may have been
our opinions then. We now know what is
right. 1t was only matter of education
and we were apt scholars score of
years ago the horse show descended upon
us and found us with good native horses
and poor native harness 1t was appar-
ent TO all beholders that something was
wrong, and when later one or two ami AlAis
were shown in English harness the some
thing wrong" was plainly understood A
great change was needed. which was no
sooner recognized than made. and today.
with the exception of the dress of the
speedway horse, the English type of har-
Tess Is used every where.

more or less crazy populace Regular avo-
cations are abandoned. and men, women
and children join in the wholesale destruc-
ton OF Unios. until In many streams they
are practically exterminated, This course
must result in bitter disappointment to
thousands. who have the idea that every
naereous concretion they may find Is a val
liable treasure: II II not only pitfful
waste of time and effort. but also Grim

Pearls are believed to be formed as the
result of an abnormal secretory process
caused by an irritation Of the mantle of the

through intrusion. into the shell, of some
foreign body. such grain of sand, or
possibly some parasite. This is the ac-
copied theory, and 1t Is confirmed by the
discovery of cases among the ocean pearl
the open valves. and. being caught be-
tween the shell and the mantle, has been
unable to escape, finally becoming impris-
oned in a coating Of pearl secretion and
thus fastened down to the inner surface OF
the valve.
There are now In the Field Columbian
Museum, Chicago. many specimens OF shells
which are examples of this sort; one of
them is a small piece showing an fnclosed

How a Clam Walks.
One Of those who may have seen clam
walk can understand the wondrous 70
cility with which bushels of them change
their place Of habitation in a day or
night. 1t is well worth ones while to
spend an hour or two sitting upon the
sandy beach and watching these apparently
inert creatures In their methods Of locomo-
ton. At first the shell opens slightly, and
a little muscular foot" comes out-a foot
which looks more like tongue; but with
its appearance there begin a series OF
"hitchity hatchity" motions which propel
the owner more quickly and effectually
than would be thought possible. This is an
other important fact to be remembered, for
1t carries with it the conviction that the
mussels treated must by some method be
confined within certain limits while the
process is going on, in order that the fin
ished pearl may be obtainable ct the proper
time. Perhaps the simplest method would
be to place them in a box or barrel In
which auger holes have been bored for the
admission of air and water; this may then
be partially filed with soil and mollusks.
and nearly sunk in the bed of the stream;
1t should be placed near the shore and shell
tered from the investigation of the curious
by a fallen tree or some similar obstruc-
ton.
