PORT ARTHUR-AND AFTER

The fall of Port Arthur is scarcely n sensa.
tional event 1t was long ago seen TO be inevi-
table, and it has been in large measure dis.
counted It is, of course an event of very
great interest, from a military as well as from
a political point of view. The place was called
the Gibraltar of the East" When its siege
began its commander laughed at japanese nlans
TO capture #. General Kuropatkin would GER
fanny come down TO its relief and drive the
japanese into the sea. If not. Port Arthur could
not possibly be taken save by starving it out
and II was fully provisioned for at least two
years Yet, instead Of holding out for two
years the 'impregnable' fortress has fallen
IN little more than seven months, ana that
practically by storm. Qt was on May 27 that
the battle of Kin-Chow occurred and the in
vestment of Port Arthur practically began
Nor is there reason for surprise at this result
The strongest fortress in the world can he
stormed If the number of defenders is limited
and that OF the assailants is unlimited Such
conditions prevailed, practically in this case
we DO not know exactly how many men were
IN Fort Arthur, or how many were in the be-
sleSlng and attacking army. There IS every
reason TO suppose that the latter exceeded the
FORMER by four or i've If not by ten to one. 1t
is certain that the Russians could not get q
single company OF reinforcements, while the
japanese could get whole armies whenever they
needed them. In such circumstances, the fall
OF The place was a foregone conclusion, when
ever the japanese were ready TO pay the price
They have paid the price. or that there is
no question. 1t has been a tremendous price
II probably much exceeds that paid in the
FormiaG OF EebastopoI. Yet the result doubt.

1t is possible that the publication of such list
of crimes is In some measure due to improved
methods of gathering and reporting the facts.
But that by no means explains the whole crinli-
nal record.
The year 1904 was not a season or wloe-
spread distress in America or Europe aithough
the Russian war with Japan has undoubtedly
caused a great deal of misery and SUFFERING
But the operations of criminals have been tar-
reaching, and the number of lives cut snort
by the pistol or the knife has been Amazingly
large. This metropolis is making progress III
detecting the doings of the vicious classes ana
in capturing felons. and this fact Will tend u
check audacious violations OF the law.
