DETECTIVES HIRED
TO STEAL $40, 900

PORTLAND, Sept 24.-Appar-
emily the Wells-Fargo people have
abandoned their pursuit OF the
men who robbed the express COM
pany of the valuable papers in the
Meyers case, estimated at $4,000.
There is no trace of the secret
service detectives of the express
company in Portland and they
have, presumably, been called off.
1t is generally believed that pri-
vate detectives were hired by in
terested persons to steal the pack
age from the express Office The
robbery was perpetrated at the
Union depot, shortly after it was
received from Salem, where it was
handed to, the company.
The robbery was part of the de
velopments in the domestic trou-
bles of the Meyer, family OF Salem.
and although peace was patched
up in the family, the Wells-Fargo
people declared they would run
down and prosecute the thief or
thieves as all example.

plished in Manchuria. The lack OF
martial spirit, of moral exaltation'
and of heroic impulse affected par
ticularly our stubbornness in bat
tie. Our troops often retreated in
stead of turning the tide of battle.
The Russian naval general staff
had figures to show that our east
ern fleet was more powerful than
Japan's. 1t therefore planned the
war on two hypothesis: % the
Japanese fleet cannot defeat our
eastern fleet; ca lacking control of
the sea, Japan will not be able to
land troops at Yinkow or Korea
bay.
But by their desperate night at
tack at Port Arthur, Japan reversed
the conditions, secured control of
the sea, dispatched four invading
armies, and put us on the defensive
on land and sea at the very begin
ming.
The Japanese soldiers had been
so trained as to develop self reli-
ance and ability to take the lead,
and they had intelligence. initia-
tive and quickness. Their non-com-
missioned officers were much SUI
perior to ours on account of the
better education and greater intel
lectual development of the Japa-
nese common people. The defects
of our soldiers-both regulars and
reserves-were the defects of the
population as a whole. The peas
ants were imperfectly developed in
tellectually, and they made soldiers
who had the same failing. The In
tellectual backwardness of our sol
diers was a great disadvantage to
us, because war now requires far
more intelligence and initiative on
the part of the individual soldier
than ever before. Our men fought
heroically in compact masses, but if
deprived of their officers they were
more likely to fall back than to ad
vance. Few of our soldiers were
capable of fighting intelligently as
individuals.
