MIGHT HAVE FOUGHT LONGER
Drunken Russians Create Disturbance
After the Surrender-A Cavalry
Raid-Japs Getting Busy Again.

Headquarters of the Third Japan.
16.-The victorious Japanese army
yesterday formally entered Port Ar
thur General Nogi with his staff en-
tered first through the old town and
took his stand in the public square
Of the new town. The army was rep
resented by one regiment from each
brigade. The procession. which was
five miles long, was three hours pass
ing the saluting base, after which the
troops passed out of the city through
the new town. The correspondents
then visited the captured fort for the
first time.
The old town buildings were badly
smashed by shells, but in the new
town the damage was slight. All the
shipping in the harbor was badly dam
aged by shell fire, the warships being
practically useless, owing to the in.
juries they had sustained by The
shells.
The scene following the surrende,
OF the Russians was disgraceful
Drunken soldiers filled the streets ano
refused to obey their officers. Man,
of them destroyed the guns upon the
positions they had defended, and came
into the city without permission. The
infantry loudly protested that the f.
tress had been given away. The,
threw their rifles and ammunition in
to the harbor and proceeded to breal
into the warehouses and loot an,
drink vodka until in helpless condi
ton. 1t was evident that the SUI
render was not necessary, as Their
were $1,000 men in the fortress. TIL
supply of ammunition was short, bu
it was not exhausted. Food wa
scarce but private stores were not re
questioned by the military. Their
is no difficulty in getting meats il
the city even now from the stores il
private possession. A portion of tn
fort was capable of defense 70
months longer. 1t was the Opinio
of the non-combatants at Port Arthu
that the surrender was unnecessar
as the troops were willing and abb
to fight to the bitter end. Genera
StOessel was much blamed for wha
was characterized as a disgracefl
conclusion of splendid defense
which ended with the death of MajC
General Krondatenko. who was love
by the soldiers and was the life of tn
defense.

organic compounds Certain organic compounds made

compounds together in and the result

There facts which PRACTICALLY ASSURE of
the ultimate artificial formation of living
These that LIVING every formed from
LFELESS ourselves and all about and that living
must have begun exist definite time the ears
history and then either have originated SPONTANEOUSLY
have come from space
As there evidence that life anywhere the universe
but EARTH and there Why seed from space
reached the earth in the past might not do and NEW
BEINGS constantly appear without earthly parents which bolo
g believes probable that living matter originated spon-
taneously from lfeless
Fortunately there have been other lines of investigation which
have modified this pangenec hypothesis Many different sciences
have contributed understanding of vital processes
To make living matter shall not first have to make living
