Wife VIII Elaht Case.

In the divorce case Of Jacob S.
Wissler against Orie Wissler, the
wife has decided to fight the case and
has filed an answer and cross petit
ton, asking that the petition OF her
husband be dismissed and she be al
lowed alimony for her support. She
does not ask divorce. She claims that
the charges against her are untrue,
but that her husband has grossly ne,
elected his duty having been willfully
absent from her for three years or
more and has contributed nothing to-
ward her support. Sterling & Brau'
cher are her attorneys.

THE COMING GREAT NAVAL FIGHT
Naval Experts at Washington Believe the Japanese
Have the Advantage and Are Almost
Certain 10 Be the viCtOrS.
TEST OF MODERN NAVAL CONSTRUCTION

while the Russians are untried. ma
jority of them never having been un-
der fire.
Naturally the objective of the Rus
sian feet is Vladivostok and the en-
gagement will have to take place
somewhere off the coast Of China be-
tween Singapore and the Sea Of Japan.
1t seems that probable that the Rus
sian commander will have his fleet
rendezvous in the Gulf of Tong-Kin,
which is filled with small islands. The
question is whether he will deem 1t
best to wait in that gulf, where it
would not be practicable for the Jap
anese to attack, until the arrival Of the
other squadron of his feet, or wheth-
er he will put out to sea and meet the
Japanese at some place of their Sc
lecting.
Il believe the battle will take place,
either in the strait of Formosa or in
the Korean strait. The Japanese tor
pedo boat feet is unquestionably now
lying in wait at the torpedo naval sta
tion in the Pescadores Islands in the
straits of Formosa. The remainder
of the japanese vessels are probably
In the east China sea between Formo-
sa and Japan. AS the Japanese are
in position to fight on ground of their
own choosing, 1t would seem natural
to suppose that the battle will occur
at some point near Japanese naval
station, where disabled ships can put
In for repairs.
"The battle will probably begin
with an attack by the fleet of Japanese
torpedo craft. Togo is apparently 9
great believer in the efficiency of the
little vessels. The main feet will BIZ

time in the history of modern navies

modern types, engage in battle tc

realize that the results of this figh
will determine which nation will b,

Washington, D. c., April 10.-It is
thoroughly believed by officers Of the
American navy, and especially by
those connected with the naval bureau
of intelligence, who have made a care
full study of the recent developments
In Eastern waters that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky intends to meet the Jap
anese fleet under Admiral Togo and
give battle. While the location Of
Admiral Togo is problematical, the
concensus of opinion here is that his
ships are distributed between the
strait of Formosa and the strait OF
Korea. 1t is expected that the battle
will take place In one of these places,
probably the latter.
Owing to strict Injunction of silence
regarding affairs in the far east. plac-
ed upon them by the president, naval
officers, while willing to discuss the
situation informally, refuse to allow
their names to be used. One promin-
ent officer, who is as well versed in
the far eastern situation as any Amer
lean in the navy said today:
'Rojestvensky will surely fight. He
has now gone entirely too far to re-
cede, and it is evident that he has re-
ceived orders from st. Petersburg to
risk all by bringing his immense feet
into combat with the fleet Of Admiral
Togo. Whether it is the intention OF
the Russian commander to attempt tC
delay the engagement pending the ar
rival in about three weeks of the re-
| mainder of his fleet under the COM
mand of Vice Admiral Niebogatoff is
of course problematical but / hardly
believe that such is his purpose. Nom.
inally the strength of the feet with
Admiral Rojestvensky, and that sup.
posed to be under the command OF
Togo Is about the same, but from my
point of view, the Japanese have g
signal advantage in that their men are

Practically 80 per cent Of the cred
itors OF the Aultman company have
agreed to the plan of reorganization
proposed by the creditors committee
of Cleveland, the plan in brief being
that they shall all pool their claims
with the committee and start up the
shops in this city, the creditors to
share in the profits proportionate TO
the amount of their claims. This Is
practically the same plan that the
company was reorganized upon at the
time of the former failure.
The western branches Of the COM
pany have been sold at bankrupt sale
The Arctic Machine company plant
will be sold at Akron tomorrow and
In all probability will be purchased by
the creditors committee, Wednesday
of next week the Aultman company
will also be sold at bankrupt sale and
the plan is to buy this in and go on
with the manufacture of the most pay
ing portions of the products. All the
properties SO far sold have been pur-
chased by the committee.
The fact that the Aultman company
shops will be put in operation will be
good news to the people of Canton.
Just where the company will get ready
cash to start UP operations has not
been made known to the public, but
this has of course been provided for.
The settlement cuts out all the for
mer creditors who had assigned their
claims in the reorganization. Follow

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
A Timely Warming on Some of Its
Dangers.

During the season of Christmas
shopping, great care should be taken
not to unnecessarily expose yourself
to colds that are likely to result in
grip and pneumonia. The excitement
of the day is quite likely to cause you
to overlook the sudden change from
hot to cold, coming from the close
and s~uffocating- air of the big stores
to the street. Then there~is great
danger from disease germs where so
many people are gathered in close
quarters.
Doctors declare that this is one ex-
PLANTATION for the annual increase of
sickness at this season. While this
article is written to again call your
attention to the value of Father
Johns Medicine in curing and pre-
venting colds, grip and pneumonia, it
will be of value to you and may save
your life if it cause you to be care
full and avoid the dangers we have
pointed out. They are real dangers.
And If we cause you to avoid the
patent medicines, so many of which
contain nerve-deadening and poison
GUS drugs, by again warning you
against them, 1t will be the means of
saving your health.
Father Johns Medicine is not a
patent preparation. 1t was pre-
scribed for the late Rev. FIR. John
O'Brien, of st. Patrick's parish, so
years ago, by an eminent specialist.
