TELEPHONE WINS BATTLE OF MUKDEN
FOR SONS OF NIPPON.

in crescent ninety miles long and di-
vided into five sections, each of which
was in telephone communication with the
general staff. The Japanese general thus
had mis- entire army in perfect control,
and operated it as a huge machine, effect
ing his purpose and gaining a decisive
victory. Says the writer:
From the subdivisions of each portion
of the army telephone lines were run to
a portable switchboard, and from the
various switchboards trunk lines were
run to headquarters, several miles to the
rear. Thus the parts of each portion of
the army were made to correspond with
the subscribers of a telephone sub-station
in a large city, tie headquarters being
analogous to the central station, to which
all of the subsidiary stations are con-
nected by trunk lines.
1.-THE rapidity with which the Japanese
established telephone communication was
remarkable. Lines were laid well in ad-
vance of the main body of troops, even
when the army was advancing by forced
marches, and perfect connection was
maintained at all times between the Of
ferent divisions. Wherever conditions per-
mitted. the reels of wire and the instru-
ments were carried in wagons. The line
was laid on the ground as rapidly as a
horse-drawn vehicle could advance If the
line so laid was to become permanent q

attached the wire to trees or hastily erect

''For flying lines or lines within the

divisions on the firing line, the detail fol-

The lines which Moore, the Irish singer

Many of his love melodies are familiar

Yet in Bromham Moore is still remem-
bered, although the reason of his fame
is not fully understood. He is recalled by
the oldest inhabitants as a cheerful lit

Sullivan In the Electrical Review,

able because it was the mightiest land
battle ever fought, and startling because
no victory was ever won by such scien-
tifc methods. Feats were accomplished
by the Japanese never before contem-
plated in war, and which had been pre-
yiously declared by military experts to
be impossible. The success of the VIC
torious forces was almost entirely due to
the skillful use of what is to-day con-
sidered to be one of the most ordinary
and commonplace among electrical instru-
ments-the telephone.
Formerly large battle was to GER
tain extent a haphazard, hit-and- miss az
fair, the careful foresight of the most
slxillful general falling to take into ac-
count the many accidents and incidents
which would in almost a moment alter
the entire aspect of things and change
successful movement into an utter failure.
Not so now, however, as by means of
the telephone it is possible for the COM
manding officer to keep in touch with
each Individual unit of an enormously
large army, and thus to make the best
use of all portions of 1t at all times,
thereby obtaining the greatest possible
effect with the least expenditure of IN
ergy.
That the battle of Mukden furnishes a
particularly good example of such use of
the telephone is asserted by Mr.. Sullivan.
It was the belief of the Russians that the
Japanese would not fight in the open.
Playing on this belief. Oyama used a
movement through the hilly country to
the south and east to mask fanking
movement through the plains west of the
city. To do this his forces were disposed

longing for home. companionship, the
patter of tiny feet and the pressure of
little lips against her own, that every
normal woman knows. Out of this long
ing and loneliness doubtless, as well as
from the somewhat disordered intellect
in which they resulted. sprang little
fiction with which she comforted her
days. According to this fiction the maiden
lady had a beautiful boy whom she had
named Harold. Wherever she went the
shadowy Harold accompanied her, and
great was the maternal love and care
that she bestowed upon the phantom
child. The people of the little community
knew of her harmless alteration and
regarded it with pity or contempt, as
their natures varied.

poor old girl, found her in tears.

inquired.

the tree, the flower. the bird, or
whatever it may be, poems and
