TERRIBLE LOSSES II
THE WAR

In the proof of his assertion In
the January McClure's that the
treaty OF Portsmouth was prema-
ture, Gen. KuroDatk.n points 10 the
condition OF the japanese army. He
says:
Judging from numerous data.
whose truth we could not doubt
Japan had be- to weaken both
morally and ma erially All her re-
sources seemed to nave b On exhaus-
ted 1t had required extraordinary
efforts on the part of the Japanese
to push our army through Manchu-
ria, and Aad cost them enormous
losses. According 20 tn informa-
ton N the hands OF our general
STAFF, the entire peace force of the
Japanese army consisted of 10000
zen, Of while. IS many as $4,000
were on perpetual leave. The re-
serve of the terri torial army num-
bered 315, 1000 men Thus their en-
ire force or soldiers, according to
our calculations. consisted of only
41S,OO0 men. But according to cal
culations made on the basis Of data
published by the Japanese sanitary
authorities, 1t is evident that during
the war over one million men were
summoned to their colors, which
created an extraordinary drain on
the forces of the pOpu alton.
The losses in killed and wounded
were very great. In the cemetery
OF honor at Toxic alone 10000 We're
buried who had been slain in bat
til, and 20 these must be added So
600 who died OF their wounds. Thus
he japanese suffered battle losses
OF 10000 men-that is to say. a
number almost equal to the entire
army ON a peace 70 ting. Our loss
IS. compared with our army OF a
million, were several times smaller
than those OF the Japanese. During
the war 554, 900 men were treated
N the Japanese hospitals, 100000
OF them being wounded Counting
in with the killed and wounded
those who died from disease. the
Japanese lost 1876, 900 men"

DIVORCE ON VIRGINiA) BEFORE

Up to the stat, constitution of
1851 divorces in Virginia had to be
secured by an act Of the legisla-
ture, and they were of very rare
occurrence, not more than two or
hree having been granted in the
whole history OF the state as long
as the legislature was the tribuna
that could alone grant them. Our
very old readers will remember The

a lady OF distin 81 shed family in
Virginia who secured divorce from
Governor Thomas OF Maryland. And
n the ten years that elapsed from
the time the courts were made he

FIRST DRY CHRISTMAS IN
VIRGINIA.

For the first time in It's history
the state OF YirSisia will thls year
have a dry" Christmas in the sense
that no liquor may be lawfully dis
pensed in any city town or county
on December 25th or course, all
who desire to DR. nix &. in any form
or mixture may purchase their sup
p lies before the worlds great fes-
tiyal day, but under the terms OF
a statute enacted at the last gener-
al assembly session it may not be
sold. all places where It is usually
dispensed being closed on thai dag.
A though this statute does not af-
feet Danville, We commend the law
for It's effect In other cities. Here
tOfore IL has been a matter OF al
most universal observation that
there was more drunkenness on
Christmas day than on any other
day in the year. This was due main
ly TO the fact that practically ey-
erybody was idle on that day, the
most universally observed no iday
and that with almost everybody it
had long been a day of relaxation
and indulgence OF tho appe.ites.
Nevertheless, It was disgusting
spectacle on what is essentially a
religious no iday that so many mon
were to be seen on the streets in a
humiliating state of intoxication
This condition Will MOI be altogeth-
er prevented by closing places where
liquor is dispensed, for all who de-
sire it wills be able to procure 1t
the day before, but not so many are
apt to do this or 20 indulge to ex-
cess as when it can be purchased as
often as desired and when the So
cial drinking habit has such free
rein.-Danyills RI gister.
