To Discard Alphabet.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Progressivism
has obtained such a firm hold on Japan
since the signing of the treaty OF
Portsmouth, according to dispatches
from Toxic, that movement has been
started there for the retirement of the
Japanese alphabet for English char
acters. This movement is making such
rapid Roadway that already a new
Toxic newspaper has appeared WITH
the news printed in English and Japa-
nese in parallel columns, japanese
words being retained, but the English
lettering being used The new paper
is called Romaji from it's use of the
Roman characters. 1t is edited and
written by professors from the impe>
rial advocates, many Of whom are ar
dent advocates Of the movement. From
this fact it is generally believed that
the mikado and his immediate advisers
are inclined to look favorably upon the
eventual abolition of the Japanese
characters, now considered hampering
and cumbersome.

lection of having bought anything So

he would have been happy to have
made so valuable a contribution to
Miss Roosevelts gift collection. Sec
Taft gave a jolly laugh, and is

tary will be conspicuously represented
among Miss Roosevelt's donors, but
not to the extent reported.

encountered bad weather, but the ex-
pense of the transfer was practically
nothing above the regular cost OF
maintenance, while the gain in prac-
teal work was of great value to the
hitherto inexperienced men. There
will be more of these marches in the
coming year, and Infantry, cavalry and
light artillery commands will be sent
into the field periodically for three
days at time using the new three
day food packet and the emergency
ration. In those three-day tours Of
field duty there will be at least two
camps, so that the men may become
accustomed to taking care Of them
selves at night and preparing their
food away from the garrison.

UNCLE SAM HAS NEW WAY OF
PREPARING FOOD FOR
SOLDIERS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-Com-
missary General Sharpe has ordered
large to cook food for 100 men to be
sent to the Preside at San Francisco,
the Philippines and Washington, re-
spectively. the fireless stove or hay
box as it is sometimes called is merely
a large, air tight chest filled with
straw, felt, paper or some other nom
conducting material. Tests are made
in the filling large enough to hold
cooking pots. The cooking is started
on the stove in the ordinary manner,
and then, without taking off the covers
o fthe kettles, they are placed in the
nests within the chest and the lid shut
down. The theory is that they will
continue to cook for hours with the
heat derived from the stove In re-
cent tests of the cookers at Fort Riley,
When taken out of the box four or
five norus after they had been placed
corned-beef and other foods were
found to be cooking merrily away at
temperatures varying from IT'S to 100
degrees.

PLAN IS FAVORED BY THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-The
army is receiving with considerable
president has determined on more field
work for the troops. General Leonard
Wood impressed on the president when
he was in Washington last summer
the necessity of doing something
special in military training under act
works at sea. 1t is realized by the
military authorities that the army Is
composed for the most part of men
who nave had no experience in the
field. The soldiers who are hardened
by marches and camping have been
retired or have failed to re-enlist. 1t
is presumably out of the question to
have elaborate maneuvers frequently,
owing to their great expense not only
to the item of damage to property by
the operations of troops, but by the
cost of travel of the regular army and
militia. The secretary of war and the
president are in favor of having joint
manouevres in the present year, but
there are signs of opposition to the
plan in congress and it is likely that
the department will abandon the effort
to obtain funds for such an associa-
ton of the regulars and the national
guard. One general officer whose rec
concentrations have much weight with
the president, is in favor of having a
change of stations throughout the army
once in twelve months, the change to
be made by marching rather than by
the use of railroads. 1t was found
that in the nearly 1000 mile march be :
tween stations of the Sixth battery,
field artillery, that the transfer was eff

privations. OF course, there were dis

to make, and who materially in

has been resorted to in order to gain

souvenir hunter. Promises never to

been given, but even if the attaches of

have been impossible for them to COM

The Churches
EvangeIistic Services.

The Park Street Baptist church has
been exceedingly fortunate in securing
the services of Rev. George Robert

conduct special meetings. The First
Baptist church mas also voted to CO.
operate in the meetings. The prospect
is that Walla Walla will have it's most
noteworthy religious event of the win
ter during these meetings. DR. Cairns
has been with the people of this city
before and many of our citizens re-
member both him and his work, and
his influence that he has never been
to any place that he was not invited to
have been made history in some cities
have become noted landmarks and
their good will never be effaced. DR..
Cairns began his work as singer with
Major Penn, but for 20 years has been
travelling in his own name. He begins
here on Monday evening, February s.
His work will be for the general good
of the community, his purpose being
more for this end than for the building
up of any one church or denomination.
With him it is the Kingdom of God
first of all. People of every class are
invited to attend and get what good
