honestly in battle. That was The sort
Of a defeat Stoessel suffered.
But disregarding such an argument,
Stoessel, of, all the Russian generals
who participated in the Russo-Jap war.
is the last who should be accused of
cowardice. His six months defense of
Port Arthur was gallant. Although it
ended in failure this effort of his was
one of the brilliant achievements on
the part Of the Russians during the en-
tire war. His surrender to the over
whelming army Of Nogi was inevitable.
And what tragic farce this trial of
Stoessel is. 1t is not trial such as is
known among righteous men. Think OF
1t. Stoessel is arraigned before an I'M
friendly court to answer to ridiculous
charge, a court consisting of ten Rus
sian officers who lost twice ten battles
through blunders and cowardice on the
field and graft at home.
No wonder StoessePs men regard him
as doomed, a foredoomed martyr. For
a martyr he will be. His trial means
nothing else than that his detractors
and prosecutors are using him to cover
UP their criminal practices in the hand
ling of RuSsia's army. StoesSel mas
been picked out as sacrif1ciai victim
to atone for the sins Of the Russian
war office.
This sacrifice will be a heavy one for
Russian bureaucracy to make. Stoessei
is the one general of the whole Russian
army who Is beloved by the down trod-
den people. Already their voices OF
protest are beginning to rumble with
a noise that is portentous. StoessePs
by his inferior superiors will
surely be avenged. His foreordained
doom is tanning again the flames OF
revolution which was quenched with
blood Once more will the streets of
Russia run red, this time in such tor
rents, perhaps, as will enguf for all
time its despotic government. If Stoes-
sells murder shall be the spark to kin
die a fire which will make the people
Of Russia free, neither his life nor
death will have been in vain.

AOKIS RECALL.

The recall of an ambassador does not
necessarily imply that his government
is about to enter upon an unfriendly
course towards the country from which
he has been withdrawn. but it does
usually signify that his policy has not
been sati sfactory to his superiors The
relations between the United States
and Italy had entered upon very
troublous stage when the Italian gov
eminent, following the Malta episode at
New Orleans, recalled Baron Fava. War
did not follow, and the traditional
friendship of the two countries was
maintained. Our relations with Ger
many were improved by the change
from Won Holleben to his successor,
Baron Won Sternberg, yet the former

to report at once in person TO Berlin,

ambassador has labored most jealous
