BY GEN.. ALExEl kUROPATkiN.
For nearly so years Japan was
our neighbor by reason of our own
ership of Kamchatka, but we paid
little or no attention to their mar.
velous national growth and develop,
ment.
In 1867 Japan's standing army
numbered only about 10000 men.
She secured first French and later
German drill masters, and in 1896
began a definite program of mill
tary development.
Our military and naval authori-
ties did not overlook the creation
and development in Japan of a
strong army and fleet; but they
confined themselves to the collec-
ton and tabulation of statistics.
When the war came our statistics
showed that Japan's army on a
peace footing numbered SIG Off
GERS and 133,457 men, and on war
footing 1875 officers mot includ-
ing reserve officers) and 34S,074
men, with perhaps $4,000 unframed
reserve recruits. There was no
mention of additional reserve
forces. In 1903 Colonel Adabash
had made a valuable report about
the secret reserves of Japan, but
because his figures were so wide
from the war office statistics, they
were not given credence.

WALLA WALLA, Sept. "a
Formal presentation of the social
list ticket for filing was made in
the county auditors Office, but
upon the advice of Prosecuting At
torney Rupp the auditor declined
to file the names because the So

in that case will settle for the
whole state the question of fees
for filing nominations on their

Prosecuting Attorney Rupp was
determined in his opinion that the
names should not be accepted I'M

whose constant companion she had
been for years, Giuila became vir-
tual head of the family. Her broth
ers are content to follow her direc-
tons. Her sister Victoria, who
eloped 25 years ago with John Err
nest Schilling. the Morosini coach
man, has returned from the con-
vent at Rutland, VT, where she
has been since her divorce The
Morosini fortune will leave all of
the children wealthy, but Giuila
will receive far more than the
others.
Mistress of millions, one of the
finest whips and equestrians in the
land, beautiful in all that makes
woman beautiful, IL is hard to be-
lieve that the will which has kept
her from the altar will continue to
dominate her from the grave.
AS Giuila was the light of her

proved to be accurate was made by
Captain Rusine. but this was pig
eonholed, simply because Generals
Zhilinski and Sakharoff did not be-
lieve it. According to the figures Of
our general staff. therefore, the
total number of available Japanese
troops was about 100000.
How far Russia was misled may
be known from the fact that Japan
officially admits 1887 killed in the
war and 173,425 wounded. and the
total killed, wounded and sick was
554 ,SS5--a number considerably
greater than the whole force
which, according to the figures of
our general staff, they could put
into the field.
Other available information is to
the effect that the bodies of 60,624
killed were buried in the cemetery
of honor in Tokyo, and that, in ad-
dition to these, 75,545 men died
from wounds or disease. The Japa-
nese thus admit the loss of $4,000
men by death.
The chief medical inspector says
that their killed and wounded
amounted to 1853 per cent of their
entire force, from which it would
appear that they put into the field
against us troops to the number OF
/ 500 ,0OO--or more than three times
the estimate of our general staff.
During the time Japan was Sc
cretly planning war with Russia
she had hundreds Of skilled men
learning all about our resources
we ignored such an opportunity.
But 1t was not only with regard
to Japan's material strength that
our information was insufficient.

overlooked, her moral strength. Ac'

WALLA WALLA, Sept. "a
Plans for remodeling the Labor
temple, South Third street, at an
estimated cost of from $4,000 to
81 900 are being considered by the
Labor Temple association, the
Trades and Labor council and the
various labor organizations Of the
