the motOrmen belong, insisted that the

The most important news received
from Russian sources is the Associa-

of Mukden, and well westward of Line
vitch's line of retreat. Whether the
Russian left has already succeeded in
retiring behind the Hun river and
moving down the north bank of that
stream to join hands with Kuropat-
kin's main force is not stated; but it
is extremely probable that unless the
Russians are able to defend the cross

and perhaps additional forces will be
cut off and have to shift for them

The struggle which is being. made by the
members of the veteran and exempt firemen's as
socatons of Queens. particularly in Long Island
City. to compel an.examinatoD and revision of the
lists of .so-called veteran firemen in Queens. is
creating considerable excitement in the borough.
1t is likely that the whole business will eventually
be aired in the courts the members OF Long
Island City organizations determined to know
just where they stand and they will not be satis-
fed until the whole truth is known about the mem-
bership of the various exempt and fremen's asso-
Citations of Queens.
The declaration is made that there are many
men carried on the rolls of different fremen,s
organizations in Queens who obtained their ex-
emption papers from the foremen and other officers
of their respective companies. This method has
been inquired into and pronounced Illegal by Cor
poration Counsel Delaney, and since that opinion
rendered the aspirants for veteran frenien
honors have been iocking to the Board of Alder
for their papers 1t is this board which has
been decided to be the only legalized body to issue
exemption certificates.
