in the Far East.
The week closed in Manchuria with
nearly million men engaged in the
fiercest conflict of the war 1t is about
week since Kuroh first began his
attempt to envelop the Russian left
flank. This was followed by a Jap
anese demonstration at the center.
manifestly to prevent reinforcements
being sent to the Russian left. and at
last the entire line became engaged,
with the Japanese left trying to get
around the Russian right and possibly
slip in between Mukden and the Rus
slams rear.
AS result of this swift and savage
advance, the Russians are said to be
retiring with a view to taking up a
defensive position at Tie pass, where
preparations for stand were made
last fall
The thanking movement has been
the favorite military device of the Jap
anese, and while it has not resulted in
the development of the enemy, it has
rarely failed to result in Russian re-
triement. At the Yalu, at Tellisu. at
Liaoyang and at the Shake it was
the desperate effort of the Japanese to
get around one or the other TANKS of
the enemy that caused the Russians
to fall back. At Tellisu General Stalk
elberg tried to turn the Japanese left.
but before his troops had fairly begun
their advance he was obliged to recall
them because of a flank movement
around his own left At Liaoyang it
was Kurokis brilliant dash to the
northeast and around the Russian left
that necessitated Kuropatkin's order
to fall back toward Mukden. When
Kuropatkin attempted in October to
crush the Japanese on his left front
he was quickly stopped in his work
by Oku's decisive flank movement on
the Russian right, and last month
when General Grippenberg attacked
the Japanese left he found himself
nearly outfanked, and because Of al

TURN CAPITAL INTO FARMLAND.
Magnificent Ball, Fireworks and Lights
Inaugural Night.

Washington, D. c., March 4.-Turn'
ing from the pageant of the inaugural
events of the day, the doubled popula'
ton of the city disposed itself for the
three imposing spectacles of the night,
the promenade at the pension office,
misnamed a ball; the fireworks on the
White House lot and the dazzling
street decorations in honor of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The attendance at the
ball was limited to 10000 or $4,000.
The street decorations were viewed by
a solid marching column filling the
wide pavements of the avenue and the
street itself and reaching for two miles
and a half.
No such brilliant scheme of decora-
ton and illumination was ever wit
messed before in this country or any
other, The dome of the capitol stood
white against the darkness, the illu-
limitations of searchlights in the top
of Washington monument being visi-
BILE for many miles. The fireworks
exceeded all previous displays. There
were no ordinary pieces.
The decorations of the ballroom sue
.cessfully conformed to the agreement
that every inauguration should exceed
all previous efforts. All was accom-
plished that could be effected by ex-
tended masses of color, spreading all
about and over the immense room and
it's galleries, with miles of evergreen
vines, cart loads of cut flowers, flags
in artistic combination, electric lights
by the thousands upon thousands, and
electric pieces large and small of I'M
rivalled proportions, carrying 5000 var
led colored lights woven into a most
beautiful design.
Instrumental music and the trained
chorus of 500 voices filled the vast
building to it's remotest recesses with
the perfection Of musical attainment
In Difference to Sunday all ceremonies
stopped at midnight, but it was well
toward morning before the lights were
turned down on the most brilliant
spectacle that Washington had seen in
it's long line of notable occasions. Till
long after midnight the gathered thou
sands walked, wandered and enthused
on Pennsylvania avenue, through long
reaches of fairyland.
With the wee small hours the lights
faded and the citizens rested after
their months of labor.
Grandly had the District of Column
bia entertained the nation.

Admiral Toga has sailed to crush
the Russian Baltic fleet, according .
the Hopgkong correspondent Of the
London Daily Mail. The correspond
ent, cabling last night, states that tho
German steamer Nubia, which arrived
this afternoon, passed two Japanesa
squadrons 100 miles south Of Hong
kong, steaming southeast. The hfs'
was a squadron Of nine battleshipl
and armored cruisers and the second
consisted of 10 armored and protectea
cruisers, accompanied by a fiotilla q
destroyers. From this it is believed
that the Japanese fleet, having been
locked and scraped after its long Porl
Arthur campaign, has been put in con
dition to carry the battle to the Balp'
feet which has taken refuge IN th'

Young Fairbanks, by farm work and
wagon making, had saved $41 by the
time he reached the age of 10 years.
With it and one suit of clothes he
travelled to Delaware, Ohio. where he
entered Ohio Wesleyan University. He
turned to account his rudimentary
knowledge of carpentry by working
on Saturdays for local contractor for
$1.25 a day.
A few weeks after young Fairbanks
arrived at college he fell and split his

1t was necessary for him to borrow

loan had to be continued, because he
was denied credit for a new pair at

send home for his mother to make him
another pair.

MAKE ONE EQUAL TO FOUR
American Army officers Way of Ac.
counting fer Victories Of
the Japanese.

How Japan made one of her soldiers
equal to four Russians is told by Mai,
Louis l.. Seaman. a United States army
surgeon, The army and public are in
debted to Maj. Seaman. says the Cleve.
land Plain Dealer, for the first detailed
information about the hitherto un.
eQualed efficiency of the medical de.
partments of the Japanese army and
navy, and in the article referred 20 he
adds some important supplementary
information.
Ten years ago Japan began to pre-
pare for wal with Russia. 1t was esti-
mated that Russia would have some
100000 available soldiers, against
! 500,0 600 for japan. How to equalize
these forces in fighting efficiency was
the problem which confronted the Jap.
anese general staff, and in the solu-
ton Of it the medical officers were a
most potent factor. 1t was known that
in war, generally speaking, four men
die from disease TO one who succumbs
to wounds. Japan proposed to elimin,
ate disease, and Mai. Seaman tells how
they set about 1t and how admirably
they succeeded. His conclusion may
be summed up in the statement that
for the first six months of the war the
Japanese loss from disease was Galy a
fraction of one per cent. Up to August
| 9,S62 cases had been received at the
Hiroshima reserve hospital from the
field, of whom 6,636 were wounded.
OF the total number up to that date
only "a had died. Quite as surprising
as the amazingly low death rate is the
fact that only about one-third Of the
total cases were men suffering from
disease.
Japanese medical officers went in ad-
vance of the troops, examined the water
supply and camping grounds and re-
moved conditions that threatened the
health of the troops. The work of the
surgeons was thus confined mainly to
the permanent hospitals. Owing to the
"merciful" character of the modern
rifle most of the wounds were com
paratively slight and most of the wound,
ed were soon in the ranks. First aid
treatment was sufficient to allow most
of the wounded either to return to the
ranks or, at all events. to reach a base
hospital without calling on able-bodied
comrades for assistance. A veritabls
revolution was wrought in the military
branch of the healing art.
The Japanese while protecting them
selves succeeded in turning against their
foes all the microbes and kindred NOR
bific agencies that have played such
havoc with armies.
