Japs Threaten Russian Line Of Conn
munication.
Last week was one of activity at
the seat Of war, although there were
no developments that resulted in i'm
portant gains for either contestant.
There was almost uninterrupted bonn
bardment throughout the week by both
sides on both TANKS and at the center.
There was hard sighting between a
number of small detachments, but the
cold weather prevented anything like
a general engagement. It is still diff
ficult to maneuver with large bodies
Of men, and the hospitals on both sides
are said to be filed with frostpitten
soldiers.
Early in the week the Russians
drove the Japanese from Nangazi on
the latter's left, and Slav cavalry in
considerable numbers made a daring
raid on the west of the Lao river to
point as far south as Liaoyang. Dur.
ing the week the Japanese began a
severe bombardment Of the famous
Lone Tree hill, and as siege guns had
been brought up from Port Arthur fol
this purpose the fire was destructive
The Japanese are doing their best tt
circulate the news of Russian disor
ders at home throughout Kuropatkin'l
army and have met with considerable
success in this work.
Although the greatest Russian &C
tivity has heretofore been agains
Oyama's left, during the week mor'
aggressiveness has been shown on thu
Russian left to which General Kurok
is opposed.
There is apprehension over the &C

A circular issued by the war depart
ment to the army gives the text of a
letter received by the secretary of war
from Representative Littlefield o I
Maine, relative to the anticanteen act
and the secretary s reply. In his letter
Mr.. Little1ield states that he is the au-
thor of the inticanteen amendment and
adds,
81 regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers in the army
are not adverse to the legislation, but
are prejudiced against it. If this is
true it has created an unfriendly at
mosphere that not only will impair
the efficiency of the recreation and
amusement feature, but will of itself
practically defeat the objects Of the
legislation"
Secretary Taft, in reply, said:
II think you are correct in assuming
that a great majority of the officers in
the army regard the anticanteen amend
ment as i'll advised, and'as likely to i'm
crease rather than decrease drunkenness
in the ranks. Indeed, must admit to
you that, as at present advised, share
their opinion.
The secretary then says he recognizes
that it was the intention of those who
avored the amendment to substitute for
the canteen a post exchange, and that
the question whether the present sys-
tenn is to be maintained OF the canteen
restored with the privilege Of drinking
beer and light wines only, will be set
tied by congress after careful investi.

Tearing Cards.

To tear pack Of cards in two is re-
garded 10y some as a marvellous feat Of
strength. and yet the trick is possible
TO any one with fairly strong fingers.
The secret of the trick lies in the fact
that the entire PACK is not torn AT once.
but in pretending 10 get Il grip on the
pack the strong man so manipulates
the cards that they overlap. In this
way but single card iS torn at a time.
and once the surface iS torn the rest is
