william and Mary college.

i. ~
The first college in England's
American colonies, with the excep.
ton Of Harvard. was William and
Mary College at Williamsburg, Va.
which was chartered 22s years ago
today, February 10. 1892. James
Blair, a scotchman, was the father
of the old Virginia institution which,
although; its student body has always
been small, and is now only about
$50, has exercised SO profound a in
'fluence. Three American presidents,
nearly q hundred congressman, seven
teen governors Of states and scores
Of other famouoN men have been
among its graduates. ut was the
first college In America to introduce
teaching by lectures and the elective
system Of study" says John Fiske:
ut was the first to unite a group OF
faculties into a university; It was
the second in the English world to
have a chair Of municipal law; It
was the first in America to establish
a chair of history and political sci
ence, and it was one of the very first
to pursue a thoroughly secular and
unsectarian policy" William and
Mary was named after the British
monarch and his consort who granted
the charter for its founding to James
Blair.

rank Of admiral In 1906 and finally
retired from the navy In 1909. when
he was returned TO Parliament. Lord
Beresfcrds opinion on naval matters

last month hestook the admiralty Sc

four years old. He. Is a second cou-
sin and also a brotherinIaw Of EN-.
peror Nicholas. He married the
Grand Duchess Xenia, the eldest o:
the two daughters OF the late Emper-
or Alexander III. and his spouse, the
Princess Dagmar Of Denmark, sister
Of Queen Alexandra OF Grent Britain
and the late King George of Greece.
They we're married In 1894 and have
six cons and one daughter. Grand
Duke Alexander was the fourth son
Of the Grand Duke Michael, a grand
uncle of the present emperor, who
died in 1903. Alexander Michael
ovitch's mother was a German prin-
cess. Cecilie Of Baden. One OF the
Grand Dukes sisters, Anastasia, Is
the widow Of the Grand Duke of.
M~ecklenburg Schwerin and the
mother-in.law OF the Crown Prince
of Germany. Grand Duke Alexander
was reported killed while leading
the Russian army in Persia last

Berlin report and has declared that
not only is the Cars brotherin-law
alive and well. but that he has never
been in the Caucasian theatre OF

Japanese government has officially
stated that the cost Of the war to
Nippon was S~1I2.575,Oo0. but this did
not include war vessels. lost, property
destroyed, nor any Of dozens Of ether
losses incidental 70 q state of war.
The total cost 70 Japan has been esti.l
mated at s%475,0oo.0oo. or more thani
four times the amount OF the Off
Ictal figures. Thus the total money
cost TO the two nations was in tho
,neighborhood OF S1,550,000,19o.
The total forces engaged In this
war numbered about 1,540,000 men.
OF these nearly q half, or 625.00o,
were killed. wounded, or invaded
home-375,o00 Russians and $4,000
Japanese.
Although Japan was unexpectedly,
victorious, the resources OF the en-
pire were SO reduced that the Mika.
dos government, in order to bring
about peace by the treaty of Ports.
mouth, had to waive the indemnity
Claim and to compromise other mat.
tiers at stake. Japan still staggers
under the tremendous financial bur
den imposed by the war. Russia,
with her vast resources, was able to
recover more quickly, although no
small part OF the Indebtedness due
to the war OF a decade ago still re-.
mains unpaid. AS a matter Of fact,
Russia would doubtless have de.
,clared war on Austria In 1908, be-
cause Of the annexation Of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by the Dual Mon
archy, except for the financial weak
ness and military unpreparedness re-
sulting from the conflict with Japan.
Staggering as was the cost Of the
Russo,Japanese war, in money and
men, It was but a drop in the bucket
as compared with the present war.
A long time must elapse before exact
figures are obtainab!e, but 1t is Ger
tain that every great power involved
has already spent. more money than
either Japan or Russia In their elate
unpleasantness."
Up to the present war, the siege
and battles of Port Arthur remained
the high water mark in military ex.
penditure. The victory, after a siege
OF 2S2 days, cost Japan nearly a hun
dred million dollars, while the flnan-
cial loss of the Russians. including
the value OF the fleet destroyed in
Port Arthur harbor. has been con.
servatively estimated at s150,0O0,000..
The Russian casualties during the
siege were 32,745, and the Japanese
lost 97,4S0 men. In the battle of
Moukden, the greatest Of the land
actions. tho Japanese casualties
were 41,ooo, and the casualties Of the
Cars army more than twice that
figure. In magnitude of losses, ex.
tent OF tho field, numbers engaged
and duration Of tho struggle, Monk
den overshadowed all previous bat
ties in history, but 1t has doubtless
been eclipsed by several battles in
the present war.

Harrison Gray Otis, editor OF the

foe Of orgarszed labor. was born
seventy-eight years ago today in Mar.
ietta, Ohio. His father was a pioneer
n Marietta-which was named after
Queen Marie Antoinette of France
and his paternal grandfather was a
soldier In the revolution. Although
his family was IN old and distin.

reared in poverty. wor!:ing on a farm
in summer and attending a log school
in the winter months. While still
in his teens he became an appren.

had his Introduction to Journalism.
In 1860 he was a delegate from Ken.

which nominated Lincoln for Presi-

he enlisted as a private in an Ohio
regiment. He was twice wounded,
but advanced rapidly In rank, and

Of the struggle he was a lieutenant.
