A Foe to Strategy.

In the harbor of Masampho Japan's
armada lay, when the wireless flashed
the Russians were not coming up that
way. If the story were to be written
in rhyme it might be so expressed, but,
whether the truth be told in poetry or
prose, it must remain one of the most
significant and important truths of the
fight. 1t may be too early yet to say
that wireless .telegraphy marks the end
of strategy inmilitary andnaval move
ments, but that it is to be foe to
strategy on the old lines the great con-
fict in the Korea straits seems to indi-
cate very clearly. Which is not saying
that it changed the issue of the battle,
or made it other than it was predes-
tined to be. Togo lay at Masampho
in expectation of the Russians coming
up through the west strait, or more
open sea, on the way to Valdivostock.
His wireless telegraph stations were
located at points far down the coast to
apprise him at once of any change in
the Russian route from the line he had
marked as the one it was the most
likely to take. When the word came
that the hostile feet was bearing to the
east instead of the west, all of his force
rounded the head of the island to
intercept it, But for the wireless tele-
graph, the Japanese ships would have
been deployed for a long line of OBJ
servation, though the result would
have been the same

some months ago, special examination
made, and a report fled, but no action
has been taken by the department. on
that report, the contents Of which have
not been made public.
Iverson and Young are confident that
when Attorney General Moody looks
into it, he will either refuse to decide
it on the ground that it is matter
purely within the jurisdiction Of the
interior department., or that he will in
form the secretary Of the interior and
the secretary Of agriculture that the
practice Of accepting field notes as evil
dence Of the swampy character Of lands
should be followed, as the legislature
of Minnesota had elected to accept that
method Of determining their character.
The Minnesota officials are congratu-
lating themselves on having reached
Washington at the right time to pro-
tect the interests Of the state. The
reference of the question raised by the
agricultural department to the attorney
general was made without notice to
them, and their arrival here at oppor,
tune moment was purely chance.

DESCRIBES A QUIET
PHILIPPINE SUNDAY

A graphic picture of life on the island
Of Samar, P. T., is furnished in letter
received by Minneapolis man from his
brother, former member Of A com
pany, M. N. a., and now member of
the hospital corps of the Twenty-frst
United States infantry, stationed on
Samar He writes: i - q
"Thisis Sunday and fine day. From
my window I see poker game in
progress just across the street and a
little farther down the line "a cock-fght
is in full blast, while on the opposite
corner the natives are dancing. Across
the plaza stands the emassive church and
convent buildings where we had to take
refuge during that awful typhoon a
month ago. In one of the windows of
the latter building two priests sit
smoking "snipes,' a goat is feeding on
an oilcan in the sallyport Of our bulld-
ing. The church bells are ringing all
the time, so we do not lack for noise.
A board of officers met to decide on a
new post, but we have not yet heard
their verdict and SO don't know just
where we are at. TX
CT am in charge Of the operating
room in the post hospital, and the sur
geon gives me the natives as part of
the work. Gee! how they slash each
other. with their ,bolo knives! I suppose
our knitting is mere kindergarten work
to them, as they actually seem grateful
when they fall into our hands. -

Changes in lumber circles are rapid.

ownership of line yards is gradually
changing from the hands Of the lumber
companies to that of lumber manufac-
turers. The middleman is gradually
being eliminated from the lumber bust

to consumer is being made as short as

Several conditions have led to the
change. AS the standing pine is disap-

turers are buying in the southern and
western forests. Some of them will
continue to manufacture in Minnesota
while they have at the same time saw

system becomes almost business me-

YOUTHFUL TRAVELLER
Goes BACK TO NAVY
YOUNG GLOBE TRoTTER CANNOT
RESIST FASCINATION.
Mankato Boy Started Out to See World
at Age of 10 and Has Visited Many
Strange Foreign Ports and Seen
Sights in the Course of His Wander
ings. ~ '#

The hold which the navy has upon it's
men is well illustrated in the case Of
Chief Yoeman Frank E. Herbert, who
went east last night to take up his old
work after four, months Of liberty from
the service. Herbert 8 record is unique
even among the interesting stories of
the men who, daily pass thru the re.
cruiting office in the federal building.
At the age of Is he found himself
stranded in New Orleans after an un-
successful theatrical venture. He
joined forces with Jack Telled Of the
Detroit Free Press and Frederick Mill
er of the St. Louis Post Dispatch and
worked his way to South Africa on an
English ''mule transport. The story
Of the trio IS experiences with the Brit
ish war regulations in Durban has been
written by his companions, but the re-
cital of Herbert, who parted company
with them after an unsuccessful at
tempt to run the military Gordon, is
fully as interesting.
In pursuance of cherished plan to
work his way around the world, he
shipped to Australia. At Sidney he
heard rumors of an outbreak in China,
and giving up his plans for shipping to
San Francisco and thus completing a
circuit of the globe, he enlisted on the
Brooklyn, then in port. 1t is not Gus
tomary for American ships to recruit
in foreign ports, but thru the influence
of the United States Consul, Orlando H.
Baker, who was an old family friend,
an exception was made in his case.
The Brooklyn arrived in China too late
to take part in the suppression Of the
Boxer uprising. From Hongkong it was
ordered to Vladivostok, where Herbert
witnessed the ceremonies incident to the
opening Of the Trans-Siberian railway.
Herbert rapidly rose to the rank of
chief yeoman. While serving on the
Monadnock he saw the ship cleared for
action to stand off the Japanese who
wished to lombard the crippled Rus
sian vessel Askold, in dry dock at WI.
sang, and later saw the shot-riddled
Aurora, Oleg and Zemtcheg steam into
Manila harbor. The real reason why
the Monadnock cleared to protect the
Askold, according to Herbert, was that
the Standard Oil company had tanks
containing 100000 worth Of oil in the
line Of fire.
After his varied experiences in the
far east, Herbert took his discharge
and spent about four months with his
people at Mankato. Then he heard that
a recruiting office had been opened II
Minneapolis and the desire to take an
other walk around the world became
too strong and he bade farewell to hi
mother and re-entered the service.

Minnesotans Got Busy.

The state officials, in company with
Senator Clapp, Immediately called on
the officials Of the interior department,
the land office and the department Of
justice and filed vigorous protest
against. the action Of the department Of
agriculture and asked to be heard on
the point raised by that official. They
asked for an opportunity to present an
oral argument on Tuesday next, but no
definite answer was given to this re-
quest, and it is possible they may pre-
sent a brief to be prepared before they
leave Washington.
The claim made by Iverson and Young
is that if the suggestion of the secre-
tary Of agriculture be concurred in by
the attorney general, it will overturn
the practice which has been followed
for more than forty years in selecting
swamp lands. After the swamp grant
was made by. congress the interior de-
partment asked the state to select a
mode of making selections-whether it
should be on the basis Of personal ex-
animation or on The basis of the field
notes of survey. The legislature de-
cided to accept the field notes Of survey

partment, Secretary, \. Hitchcock in an
opinion prepared by Assistant Attorney
