KuropatkIn Ready 10 Attack

the newspapers here are claiming that
the Japanese are using the British
Island OF Lahuan, near Borneo, as q

the appearance Of General Mistohen-

is more than raiding expedition de-
signed to strike the railroad at several
points and interrupt the transportation
Of General Nogis guns from Port Ar

indications II seems possible that 1t is
preliminary to an operation Of magni-

might be able to damage communities
tion in the rear Of Iiao Yang. The
tone of dispatches from some Russian
correspondents vaguely hint at very
important developments, and the mill

presses the opinion that the long calm
since the battle of Shakhe is about to
be broken, It is also noteworthy that
there have been no official dispatches
from General Kuropatlsin for two days.

M. combes and Associates Quit While
Some Prestige Remains.
Paris, Jan, l6-The ministry Of NJ.
Combes, after emerging successfully
from its bitter struggle in the Chamber
Of Deputies, has decided to abandon
the field while some portion of its
prestige still remains. and has signi-
fed its intention OF resigning. Official
announcement Of the designations has
not yet been made, but M. Combes has
definitely stated the intention Of him
self and his colleagues, and the termi-
nation Of the ministry after tempes-
tuous career Of three years only awaits
the formal submission Of the letters Of
retirement.
Friends Of the ministry maintain
that its retirement is voluntary, as M.
Combes has succeeded in resisting the
effort to compel his fall. The oppose
ton, however, halls the decision as a
victory, claiming that the small ma
jorities for the ministry Saturday night
left NJ Combes shorn of effective
strength to carry out his policies.
Who will form the next cabinet is
not yet certain. The logic of the sit
uation appears to point to NJ. Rouyier,
and his name is most mentioned. He
is acceptable both to Nj. Combes and
those who are rehelling against his
authority However, If NJ Comics ex-
ercises the authority to name his own
successor, he may designate M. Bris-
son, who, as president OF the Chamber
Of Deputies, assisted In the execution
Of the Combes program. The names
Of M. Milerand, Poincare, Doumer
and Clemenceau also are prominently
mentioned, their strength depending
upon later combinations in the major
ity groups.

Gems In Verse


When Love went holidm wing
Among the autumn leaves,
They bloomed in sweet betraying,
The purple clouds, soft straying,
Held daylight back, delaying
To gid the glowing sheaves--
When Love went holidaying
Among the autumn leaves.
When Grief came on assigning
Behind the flowers of spring,
They withered to their dying,
The homing birds. slow flying,
Sang wintry songs, denying
The JOY that June should bring
When Grief came on assigning
Behind the flowers Of spring.

The Itch For Writing.

II all the treas in all the woods were men
And each and every blade of grass pen;
If every leaf on every shrub and tree
Turned to a sheet of foolscap; every sea
Were changed TO ink. and all earth's iv-

Had nothing else to do but act as scribes,
And for ten thousand ages, day and night,

TIL all the pens and paper were used up
And the huge inkstand was an empty cup,
Still would the scribblers clustered round

Call for more pens, more paper and more

The years roll by with their weight Of

Unchecked By the winds Of storm and
strife.
The seasons pass. but they leave no trace
OF whence they come or whittier they

The devoted heart with hope expands
And with faith made frmer throbs

The eye may be dim, but the spirit sees
Within and beyond the mysterious veil;
It knows Of him whose protection frees
Whose promises never were known to
fail.
Fourscore and ten! What passing
train
OF birth and death. Of delight and woel
What a food of labor and loss and PAIN
Which none may fathom, compute or
knowl
What living picture of light and shade
Before her vision has been outlined.
What wonderful scenes, by time por-
trayed,
Lie hid in the alcoves of her mind

Ere long will be parted from the loom.

The treaty of Portsmouth was sign

afternoon in the conference room of
the Navy General Store, at the Navy
Yard. The firing of National salute
of nineteen guns, was the signal which
told the people of Portsmouth, Kittery
and New Castle that peace was an
accomplished fact, the church bells
in the three towns pealed forth joy
full refrain.
For forty minutes those outside the
conference room anxiously awaited
the signature. Suddenly an orderly
dashed to the entrance of the peace
building and waved his hand to the
gunner few feet away, and the open
ing shot of the salute rang out on the
clear air of the soft September after
noon, proclaiming peace between
Russia and Japan.
