RUSSIA BLAMEs UNCLE SAM.

School History Says America Acted as Spy For Japs In Late War.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.--A school book history of the late war has now been issued with the approval of the government. The assertion is made that if 1t had not been for the active assistance of the United States and England, Japan would never have tri- umphed.
 A state official named Ilowaiskis shoulders the responsibility for this unique historical work. ..
 The book paints in glowing pictures stories of Russian heroism at Port Ar thur, but neglects to mention the de- feats of the Russian army. As to the great battle in the sea of Japan it says: ,.s..
 '"The primary cause of the catastro- phe to our fleet had nothing to do with the enemy's strength. The active as- sistance given by Great Britain to the Japs contributed most to the disaster. The English entirely disregarded the obligations of neutrality. They assist ed the Japs with ships, men and can non and ammunition of every kind. Moreover, they forced the French to refuse us food and coal at Tonkin.
 "The English acted throughout as the enemy's spies, Informing Tokyo of every movement of our fleet. And the United States did the same"

SEMBRICH ANNOUNCEMENT
AROUSES MUCH INTEREST

The announcement that Madame Mar
celia Sembrich would probably give Il
concert In this city on March 18th has
aroused the greatest interest. not only
in musical circles, but throughout the
entire city. Richmond has not had
concert during the present season. and
the fact that Sembrich is perhaps the
greatest prima donna before the public
is sufficient guarantee that the concert
here will be one of the most brilliant
affairs OF its kind that Richmond has
ever had.
Sembrich Is described as being per-
feet in her art, and no singer has re
ccived more unanimous praise from tua
greatest critics. Whether in opera or
in concert, her workiis always described
as bordering on tho phenomenal. Not
since the days Of Jenny Lind and AIDE
lima Patti has singer recorded more
brilliant triumphs than she. In order
to secure the necessary guarantee, Mr..
Ernest n. Cosby Is taking q great deal
of time to urge lovers of music to sub
scribe for seats at once. The concert
cannot be given unless the guarantee
is subscribed before Wednesday,, anu
more than half tho amount is ye
needed.

And though life be sad and dreary,
O. remember that above
Thou will dwell in peace forever
In that city filled with love.
Take the narrow path, o sinner,
I will help thee fight the strife.
And If thou will love the Father,
Thou will win eternal ife."-
Still the voice is gently calling;
Calling, calling unto me; rs
And one day when was dreary

o the Saviour made me happy,
Smoothed away my care and woe;
Many years have passed since then.
