MUCH INTERESTING SHOP TALK
AT THE Mlp.wlNTER SESSION.

The mid-winter business meet
ing of the Kentucky Press As
sociation was held at Louisville
Friday and Saturday of last week,
January 8 and Z and was greatly
enjoyed by a numberof its mem
bers who take kindly to that
branch of association work. 1t
was a disappointment from the
view point Of starting place for
iaunt. Because of business
reasons there were only few
newspaper men who could take
the proposed delightful trip to
Florida and Cuba. And these
decided to remain at home
rather than make the trip in so
small a party.
The program as announced
last week was carried out, with
the exception of thu absence of
two or three papers, but with
the addition of some extra fea-
lures of entertainment at the
hands of Louisville business men
and friends.
The business meetings were
held IN the Council Chamber at
City Hall and the association
was welcomed by Acting Mayor
Paul Q. Barth. Several papers
were read and discussed at the
first session Friday afternoon and
invitations were accepted from
Secretary j. @. Van Pelt, of the
Commercial Club, to ia k e
luncheon Saturday with the Of
iicers of that body, and from
Manager John 7. Macauley to
see Mr.. Tim Murphy at Ma
cauiey's Theatre Friday evening.
President Louis Landram read,
at the Friday session, his address
containing valuable suggestions
for the future guidance of as
ISOLATION work.
Saturday mornings meeting
was crowded full of good things
and made so interesting that the
association could hardly adjourn
in time for luncheon with their
friends of the Commercial Club,
Of which all of the association
are honorary members.
At the Saturday session the
extra legislative session was dis
cnssed, and the question of a
new capital building was gener-
ally endorsed by individual MEM
bers but the association declined
to commit itself on resolution
endorsing the extra session and
asking for a new site, for the
reason that it was not consider
ed wise to commit the associa-
ton upon questions about which
indI lidual members might hold
diss biting views.
Important resolutions were
offered by President Landram at
the Friday session and unani-
inously adopted by the associa-
ton, pledging the association to
the material development of
Kentucky and the exploitation of
the Importance and advisability
OF louisville as wholesale mar
n A for merchants Of Kentucky.
wv. II. Belknap, for his hard.
ware firm, gave to each f.the

not cut friendship but intimated
it would work all right on the

The battle of Mukden was one of
the greatest of the worlds history in
the number of men engaged, the ex-
tent of the battle line and the long
duration of the fighting. Probably it
was also the greatest, or rather the
most terrible, in the number Of cas-
ualties. There are those who believe
that it was as great as the greatest
in the Importance of the issues that
are at stake. Surely these are super
latives enough for one battle in this
"prosaic" age.
Oyama won the battle of Mukden
more by tactics than by strategy.
Strategically the battle presented few
features not familiar to all students of
war. 1t possessed but one element of
surprise-Nogi's sensational march
around the Russian right wing-and
even that might have failed had Kuro-
patkin's scouts been properly led. But
aside from Nogi's dramatic swing
around the right there was not a fea-
ture of Oyama's strategy that the
Russian Communicated had not
foreseen
What Kuropatkin had not provided
against, however, and what his divis-
ions could not cope with were the
mastery tactics with which Oyama's
simple strategy was executed. From
the beginning of the battle on Feb. II,
when Linevitch vainly tried to turn the
Japanese right siXty-one miles south
east of AIukden, until March 5, when
kaulbars' exhausted divisions were
crushed at the imperial tombs, eight
miles north of Mukden, Oyama's gem
erals moved with the precision of au-
donations. Kawamura's sweeping adj
vance to Da paSs-Kuroki's bold cross
ing of the Sha-Nodzu's impetuous as
saults on Poutiloff hill-Oku's ham
mering blows at Chantan-Nogrs dra-
matte march around the Russian right
all were timed and executed with a
precision that proved that a master
mind was directing the keyboard of
battle.
The fighting at Mukden has served
to Illustrate with remarkable clearnesS
both the extraordinary military prof.
cheney of the Japanese and the advan-
tages they enjoy in other respects. Ku-
ropatkin had one point in his favor
the ability to operate entirely within
his own lines. This was offset by a
sad lack of initiative, which was his
undoing. The superiority Of the Jap
anese in numbers, their ability to re-
fresh themselves with e-enforcements.
their consciousness of victories already
won, the absolute unity of action

Old Fashioned Children.

To speak with precision, children's
costumes do not begin before the clos
ing year of the eighth century. Up
to that time it was thought sufficient
to dress the little folk, according to
sex, in garments reproducing .aEactly
those of the father and mother Such
clothes must, assuredly, have been
very uncomfortable for creatures
whose movements call for ease, and
whose turbulence does not we'll accord
with the stiffness Of the eighteenth
century ruff, or the majestic amplitude
of those perukes whose solemnity ap-
pears to overshadow the intimate life
Of our progenitors.
1t is to be observed in this connec-
tion that wherever, in our day, ancient
costumes have survived the invasion
of the railroad and Of what we are
generally agreed to call progress, this
manner Of dressing children still con-
tinues. Anywhere in Brittany, in Hol-
land, or in certain remote parts of
Switzerland and the Tyrol, one may
meet boys and girls from to years
old promenading grave1y in the habili-
ments of grown-up persons. And one
perceives that such a fashion springs
from an undeveloped conception of
early youth, a conception which does
not measure properly all the distance
that separates the man from the child.

Convinced that Mrs. Jesse A. Hopkins
acted in self-defense when she killed her
husband New Years night, Judge kers-
ten of Chicago took the case from the
jury and discharged the defendant. If
woman is unfortunate enough to marry
a brute,'' he said, ''she has the right to
defend herself, even to the point OF tax
ing his life" A remarkable feature OF
the case is the fact that the prosecution
was agreeable to the dismissal OF the
case. The State had just rested when
Mr.. Donahue, Mrs. Hopkins attorney,
arose and moved that the jury be eX-
cluded as he wished to argue a motion to
dismiss. When the jury was taken out
he called the attention of the court to
the fact that there had been no evidence
of anything except that Mrs. Hopkins
had acted in selfdefense. He declared
there was no evidence of murder. AS
sistant States Attorney Newcomer said
he would consent to having the case TAX
en- from the jury, as he believed Mrs
Hopkins had killed her husband merely
to save her own life. The shooting of
Hopkins took place New Years night
after he and his wife had returned from
a call. Soon after they entered their
apartments Hopkins attacked his wife
and was about to kill her when she grab
bed u revolver from table and shot him.

devotion and courage of their soldiers
prevailed. While Kuropatkin was de-
pendent on one frail railway line, the
Japanese were within easy access of
their base at Newchwang, with prac-
tically no risk of their communications
being interfered with.
That the battle of Mukden is the
greatest in the history of war may
readily be believed. In round num-
bers the Russian force engaged was
$4,000, with 1900 guns. The japanese
army is believed to have exceeded
these figures in strength by perhaps
10000 men.
1t is impossible to analyze, as yet,
the effect of the disaster upon the Rus
sian bureaucracy. The Russian peo-
pie naturally are for peace at any
price. The Russian officials, it seems,
have not or cannot make up their
minds. There is strong war party
in court circles at st. Petersburg and
dispatches from the Russian capital
are burdened with hints of another
campaign to be undertaken, of anoth-
err great army of 100000 men to be
raised, of another stand to be made
ct Hardin.

ARMY HEAD DiSGRACED.
Gen. kuropatkin Dismissed by GA
Without a Word of Praise.

without a Word OF Praise.
With the japanese hanging on the
heels and TANKS of the remnants of the
broken, defeated Russian army, Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, the old idol of the private SOL
der, has been dismissed and disgra ced
and Gen. Linevitch, commander of the
first army is appointed to succeed him
in command of all the Russian land and
sea forces operating against Japan.
The word disgrace is written in large
letters in the laconic imperial order ga
zetted, which contains not single word
of praise, and also disposes of the rumor
that Kuropatkin had asked to be reliev-
ed. The Russian military annals con-
tain no more bitter imperial rebuke.
While it was known that the war coun-
Gil had already decided to supplant Ku-
ropatkin after the Mukden disaster, the
decision to confer the task of saving the
remainder of the army on Linevitch in
the very midst of it's fight came as a sur
prise.
1t transpires that Emperor Nicholas
upon the advice of Gen. Dragomiroff and
War Minister Sakharoff determined that
the step was necessary when it became
apparent that Kuropatkin, while concen-
trating for a stand at Tie Pass, seemed
unaware that the japanese had worked
around westward again and practically
allowed himself to be surprised. Old
reports brought by Gen. Grippenberg re-
garding Kuropatkin's failing mentality
also had influence.
Under the circumstances therefore il
was considered imperative in view of the
exceedingly perilous position of the army
to turn over it's command to Linevitch,
who alone had been able to bring off his
army in order after the battle of Muk-
den.
The task confded to Linevitch of
withdrawing what is left of the great
army of $4,000 men to Hardin is a des-
perate one. He is hemmed in on all
sides. Gen. kawamura presumably is
pressing northNard through the noun
tains eastward, ready to swoop down.
Gems. Nogi and Oku are on the west of
the Russian forces; the whole line of the
railroad is threatened, if not already
cut, and Chinese bandits are even report
ed to be in the rear of Hardin. Ma
poleon's plight in the retreat from Mos
cow with kutusoff's Cossacks harassing
the starving, freezing Frenchmen, was
hardly as bad or dangerous.
