American locomotive works at Richmond
and it hauled us over rails made by the
United States Steel trust. The car had a

The South Manchuria line was opened in
1908. just about year before the war

service has grown better and better. To-
day one can go from Dalny to Moscow

when anti-reformers were trying to howl
him down by initiating the sounds made
by various animals, among which the
braying of the ass was most recurrent, he
waited for a pause, and then remarked
imperturbably that by a wonderful dis
position of nature every animal had its
peculiar mode of expressing Itself. and he
was too much of philosopher to quarrel
with any Of those modes. This was no
less severe than the famous libel on the
