COSTLY MILE OF WIRE
ERECTED DURING SIEGE OF PORT
ARTHUR, IN 1905.
Estimated That Ten Thousand Lives
Were Lost and Millions of Dollars
Expended in "condemnins" the
Right of Way.

There are many individual miles
of city-built telephone line that have
cost well up in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars" remarked an Off
Ger of the United States army who
saw much of the war between Russia
and Japan a few years ago, but the
mile of telephone wire that cost, be-
yond all comparison, more money and
lives than any other line ever built
was erected during the siege of Port
Arthur in 1905.
"For weeks and months the Japs
had been eating away at the defenses
Of the Russian fortress, but with small
success. The hills around the town
and harbor seemed to have been fash.
ioned by nature for defense. The
Japs, though they had brought up
their great IL and 14-inch siege guns.
were able to make but slight impress
sion upon the forts and none at all
upon the town or the Russian feet
that lay safe within the inner harbor.
The trouble was that though the
great guns-'Osaka babies they called
them, after the name Of the town
where they were manufactured
could easily carry from their positions
into Port Arthur and the harbor. there
was intervening a great range of hills
from five to six hundred feet In height
and crowned with the most powerful
Notifications in the world to that
date. Hence, the gunners could not
get sight Of their targets.
Suddenly the Osaka babies COM
menced to open fire upon the town
and harbor. and the Russians smiled.
for experience had shown them how
impossible It was for the shells to
strike their unseen targets. But. to
their astonishment. after a shell OF
two. one lit squarely upon the main
building in Port Arthur and shortly
after one plunged through the deck
Of a battleship and sank her like
stone
"In a short time the town was
wrecked and the feet, with half its
ships sunk or disabled, had to put out
to sea.
"For. from the telephone In the
hand of the Jap hidden on the sum-
NIT of 203 Meter hill there ran a wire
to the batteries where stood the great
Osaka babies, and the whole thing
became as simple as a kindergarten
problem. The man with the telescope
observed where the shells from the
babies struck; he reported it to the
man with the telephone, who, In turn.
telephoned It to the gunners of the
babies They modified their fire un-
der these directions and placed their
great shells as accurately as though
they were firing point-blank at tar.

1T was the beginning of the end of
Port Arthur. that mile of telephone
line running up the flank of 203 Meter
Hill. 1t was but a single wire mount
ed on poles so small that they were
invisible quarter of mile distant,
but it cost 10000 men and several mil
lions of dollars in ammunition and
other war-cost to condemn the right
of way"

chestnut from the fame, and then he
had thrown him the she'll. And for
such little gain as was his he had suf-
fered an Incompatible loss. He was
burned and scared forever. In the bit
terness OF these moments Reynolds
very soul was racked and torn and In
his heart, at times, there was murder.
He wondered what Dick knew Of
his actual deal with Brand. He longed
sometimes to look up the reporter and
bare the whole story. But confession
to another would do no good now; 1t
would not repay the municipality he
had robbed and It would not renew the
bond OF friendship with the man he
had cast aside.
When Reynolds rushed after his
wife that night he stopped for Dick
at the little place of cheer ON the cor
ner. He almost dragged his friend
away, and while they waited for the
car he told his intention. He was go
ing from Jane to Brand. he said, and
what Brand wanted of him he would
do. He was done with poverty and
done with principle. He was going to
put his hand In the grab bag and take
one draw at the game. II that was the
way 1t was played; II that was the
only way he could decently clothe his
wife and give her the place she was
entitled to. that was the way he would
play 1t. He would have told Dick all
then, II he would have listened. But
the reporter laid hand over his mouth
and stopped him.
Don't say any more. Bob" he had
warned. III that is the way you feel;

AUSTRIAN ARMY CUT OFF.
Russian Forces Get Between Them and
Germans.


Rome.--A special dispatch to tho
Tribuna from Petrograd says:
"The Russians have cut of the Aus
trian Army from the Germans. The
Austrians were encircled on their left
flank and compelled to precipitately
retreat, but Thursday the Russians.
with swift movement, occupied all
the ways of retreat toward Cracow,
and thus the entire Austrian Army
was pushed toward the Carpathian
Mountains, against which they are
closely pressed.
Their condition here is desperate.
as their only line of retreat lies across
the Carpathians into Hungary. But
the Carpathians at this time Of the
year and with the recent snow falls

artillery.
"Petrograd is rejoicing over the
present victory, which surpasses all
former ones, because of its decisive
character.

ABLE TO STAND PROSPERITY.

The evils which many pessmists predicted would re-
suit from the Ford plan Of profit sharing are not mate
riaizng.
Now at the end of the first year. the practical work
ngs of the plan be fairly judged and results seem to
be all in it's favor.
Much was said year ago about disturbance of indus
trial conditions and relations that were bound to follow
the payment of wages higher than those fixed by the
scored law of supply and demand 1t also declared
that freebon American Workmen would not long submit
TO the dictaton and control Of their conduct and eXpend
lures
1t has turned out very different The pressure of Ga
bor has been not escape from the rules but to come r
under them and 50 highly is that privilege esteemed that
many workers for another reason ineligible or dis
qualified for inclusion in the favored but coerced class
have exhausted all their ingenuity in devsng tricks for
bringing themselves beneath the tyranny they eX-
pected to hate
Dufng the first years operation the Ford employees
under the profit sharing plan have increased their bank
accounts by 1870 per cent taken out large amounts of life
insurance and paid nearly Sl2O0O0O on homes bought
contract
In other words they have not wasted but have saed
down. most of the additional income received in the way
of dividends and bonuses.
Judging from what they have done with the bulk of
their additional income the moral ruin" to which they
have been exposed is Of kind which most American
workmen could stand indefinitely without serious detri
ment
What it was predicted would prove the worst part Of
the Ford profit sharing plan proving to be the best part
of it. is teaching its beneciaies the way to ndepen
dence through saving.
