visited with pr. Gebhardt between $3.50

thrown forward so as to form q closed
dous conception involved the advance OF
100000 men over front Of nearly one
hundred miles and required that the
movements of every unit OF the i've
armies should be accurately co-ordl-
mated. !
The forces engaged in this battle were

1868 guns, and 26,700 sabers, an ag-
gregate of 361, 500 men.
It is difficult to speak with accuracy
of the Japanese, numbers which COM
prised sixteen divisions. A division
may comprise anything from 10000 to
10000 men. It may be assumed that
they averaged 25,0OO making Jap

to Oku. Originally Oku commended
three divisions, but in view of the COM
bined role of screening and attacking

Thus no fewer than eight divisions, one
half of the whole Japanese, army
Some peril is suggested by this dis
tribution, the peril that Kuropatkln
might have struck heavily at the jap
anese center and driven wedge be-
tween the two wings, but against this
danger there were two safeguards, the
first that the strength of the fortifca-
tions at the Japanese center were such
as almost to defy attack and the second
that Nodzu commanded picked troops
who had earned the reputation OF being
invincible. .Ns
It was Kuropatkin g wings that trou-
bled him, and there is nothing to show
that he ever suspected the numerical
weakness Of the Japanese center. He
was not likely to have been SO we'll in:
formed. Even the presence of the Port
Arthur army in the field remained un-
known to him until he saw the uni
forms of the Japanese dead. and heard
the statement of the few prisoners who
fell into his hands. ..."
Who Planned the BattleQ
Military historians will wish to know
to whom the credit for the fine strategl-
cal program Of this battle should be as
signed.
BY many occidental writer's Field
Marshal Yamagata is spoken OF as
Japan g Won Moltke. By others Field
Marshal Oyama is honored as the Wei
lington of his nation. The two mar
shals are, remarkable men, but to any
one crediting them with strategical
genius their own answer would be a
laugh. If, on the other hand, the Jap
anese publicist were invited to assign
praise for the recent. victories he would
probably, after considerable hesitation,
name Baron Kodama Of the genN-al
staff. His hesitation would mean this:
That he knows his countrymen's g faith
in many councillors.
Praise for Koda1na.
The major part Of the applause GER
tainly belongs to Kodama, but equally
certain it is that a great number of Of
icers had hand in shaping the pro-
gram. A wise suggestion from the
youngest would receive as much defer
ence as tho it emanated from a senior.
That is the Japanese habit. Only a few
perhaps will be called conspicuously to
the footliights when the curtain falls on
this great DRAMA but many will have
contributed to the result. ~

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, April 26-Mrs. Mary Marcy,
stenograppher, employed in the private
fdr ea6 G Sonbs o ae in he @
eral building today and remained clos
eted with District Attorney Morrison
for nearly an hour. She was not taken
before the grand jury to give her tes-
timony, but as she left the building she
said that she was ordered to report
every morning to the district attorney.
She is closely guarded by secret SER
vice officials. ILL.,.
Managers of Armour g. Co. and Swift
& Co. at Kansas City deny that Mrs.
Marcy had any testimony that would
be embarrassing for their firms.
How the Woman Worked.
Leslie Marcy, Mrs. Mary Marcy's
husband, says that when his wife gath
sent to the grand jury in Chicago, she
had in mind only a series of stories for
a socialist paper. He says:
Mrs. Marcy went to work for the
swifts long before the beef investigation
was thought Of. She was in the legal de-
partment which the employees call the
Skin department, because of some Of
come home and tell me about some Of
the business letters she had written,
things she had heard and seen, until final
ly she suggested that she make notes for
future use in her writings.
Mrs. Marcy was with the Swifts for
eight months and during that time she
made carbon copies Of several letters In
the legal department that would rather
embarrass the packers when they are used
in. court She got a record of prices and
correspondence, showing that there was
something more than a mere understand
ing between the packers. She used to
marvel at the way in which they treated
customers, how they kept things under
cover.
Kept Copies Of Letters.
Mrs Marcy worked for Armour's about
six months in the office of N. H. Hand,
| the treasurer. She kept copies Of many Of
| his letters to men who had credit with
| the company. All these papers we kept
for more than two years, thinking, as
have said, of writing a story. We never
told the government about what we knew.
Mrs. Marcy wrote q series of articles
| for the international i Socialist Review
published in Chicago, and probably these
attracted the secret service men. At all
events detective came here one day and
81 oned my wife to go to Chicago. II
is to be- expected that the packers will
minimize as long as possible what she
has in her possession, but the government
secret service thought 1t sufficiently Inn
portant to take her to Chicago.
