A pretty idea for a garden party gown
is to catch the festooned lace ruf1le with

Three Russian Cruisers
Hold Up Brynhilde

HONGKONG, April 1.-THE stea ner
Brynhtide, which arrived here this morn
ing from Bangkok, reports that three
Russian cruisers stopped her on FRI
day, sixty miles north Of Cape Padaran,
and after searching the vessel allowed
her to proceed.
The captain of the Brynhilde counted
thirty-three Russian warships In the
fleet to which the three cruisers were
attached The warships appeared to be
in good condition, and were steaming
northeast at the rate of ten knots an
hour.
Cape Padaran is on the coast of Co.
chin China, about $50 miles northeast
of Saigon. The course which the Bryn-
hide says the fleet was following would
indicate that the vessels were headed
for Formosa strait. If the feet was as
far north as Cape Padaran on Friday
and continued its course at the same
speed, the vessels should be close to the
| straits by this time. The fact that the
| Brynhilda saw only thirty-three vessels
would seem to bear out other reports
| that Admiral Rogestvensky has separ-
ated his fleet

The fuel problem is the most difficult
naval commander has to face when
operating thousands OF miles away from
his base To solve 1t the Russians had
dispatched many Golfers, weeks before
Rogestvensky sailed, to lie In the path
of the Russian fleet so they could join II
when needed.
These fuel vessels the Japanese are
now picking up and it is a severe blow
TO the Russian admiral He has. of
course, a number of Golfers with his
fleet, from which his ships load at sea,
but eventually this supply will become
exhausted 1t is also possible that Ad-
miral Togo will attempt to cut out or
sink the colliers with the Russian fleet
Such a blow would render the Russian
ships well-nigh helpless.
This situation is one OF the great
advantages on the side of the japanese
as, being near their base, the fuel ques-
ton can easily be solved for them

Japan Locates Russians
Near Paracels Islands

TOKYO, April 17.--It can be said conf.
IDENTIFY that the Russian fleet has not pro.
gressed far in the last three days. Its
exact position is known in the admiralty
office here, and it is not as far east as
it was last Thursday 1t is known be-
yond all doubt that some time on Thurs
day night Admiral Rogestvensky's bat
tleships, cruisers, and golfers turned on
their course.
They were then 100 miles south
west of the Paraceis Islands. but
after dark changed their course, and
turning sharply north, entered the mouth
of the Gulf Of Tonking. The govern
ment does not make known just where
the Russian feet is, but it can be semi.
officially said that 1t Is in two sections
northeast of the Hongkong trade route
and hence really farther away from the
Island Of Formosa by 800 miles than
when reported last Wednesday by the
British warship Sutlej
The navy department expects the Rus
sian commander to take one of two
routes when 1t gets into Japanese
waters south of Formosa. and every ma
val precaution has been taken to force
at least section of the Russian fleet
10 fight.
The warships will have to pass through
tween the Island OF Formosa and the
Loochoo group of islands.
The navy department announced that
defense zones have been proclaimed IN
the Formosa straits and the waters sur
rounding the islands of Oshima, Emf
koff and Okinawa.
These are just south of Vandleman
straits and less than fifty miles from
Kiusiu island, the most southerly of the
main Japan group Of which Nagasaki
is the principal port.
It is thus clear that the imperial navy
has taken precautions to prevent the
Russians from slipping through between
anv Of the Loochoo Islands and what
might properly be called the mainland
Now that the admiralty has said al
most in direct words that the Russian
feet is still LOCO miles from Formosa
