Russian Army Effected Its Retreat

JAPANESE LOST OFFICERS
Splendid Spectacle WitiiesvMl
During .Retirement of Hussian
Transport While Artillery
Held Back the Enemy.
Liao Tang. Aug. i9. The Russian
rmy has effected Its retirement with
transport and artillery on Liao Yung
ud is now in position awaiting the
advancing Japanese. The progress of
the latter has been rapid and deter
mined, sparing of no sacrifice. In the
attack on the Siaolindxy position, one
Japanese battalion lost all its officers.
The retirement of the Russian trans
port of four corps yesterday evening
across the plain, while the artillery and
troops in the rear held oft the Jep
nese, afforded a magnificent spectacle.
All along the extended lines there was
an Incessant roar of batteries, the Rus
sians -working their guns with great
coolness and not retiring until the
transport was in safety. General Ron
tokowsky was among the killed
the smugglers Interested the court t
the barefaced way In which they con
fessed to selling Information to the
police on both sides of the frontier.
They Informed Rgainst one another In
most indiscriminate fashion. The pro
ceedings In the cellars sf Vorwarts of
fice, on which the prosecution so much
relied, do not seem to have been so
mysterious after all. One crown wit
ness deposed that no one was permitted
to enter the cellars except certain se
lected Russians, and that the Russian
literature stored there was kept under
lock and key. It now n pea is that this
very cellar was used by the Vorwarts
employes as n common cloak room, and
thai the "fearful" literature was lyins
about for any one to examine who
wished to do so. It further transpired
that one of the crown witnesses named
Abel, on whom the prosecution relied
for much of its information, had bcei
dismissed from the office of the Vor
warts. and had been several times in
jail for theft, blackmailing and other
malpractices.

MODERN SOLDIER NEEDS
They Did Not Havs so Many Gim-
cracks in the 60s.
An officer of the quartermaster's de
partment who Is near the age of re
tirement was grumbling In a whimsical
sray a few days ago about the modern
equipment of the army. "Look at the
thugs that the quartermaster's depart
ment has to move nowadays," he said.
"Such things weren't heard of in the
AOs, and yet we had a mighty big army
and a good army."
Tet here is the beggarly list of arti
cles which Captain James A. Moss, TJ
o. a., nas omeiany recommended as a
prtjpper addition to the regular equip
ment of-officers in the field during the
maneuvers at Manasas:
"Canvas bedding roll, mat about 3x6
feet, rubber bath tub, comforter, canvas
bucket, ' dipper, six candles, pair camp
candlesticks; carry-all with pockets for
comb and brush. whisk broom, tooth
brush and powder, comb and brush,
razor, strop, shaving brush, soap, hand
mirror, kahki shirt, kahkl trousers,
clothes hanger, cot, shoes, rubber
boots, three handkerchiefs, small
hatchet, matches, pillow with colored
case, rubber cape, twelve feet of quar
ter-Inch rope, scissors, shoe laces, toilet
soap, laundry soap, sponge, stationery
including- fountain pen, pencil, note
book and postage stamps , sticking
plaster, two face towels, bath towel
three pair socks; three pair drawers,
three undershirts, wash basin, ball of
twinet tw:o dozen ten and twenty-penny
nails.""
Judging from this list the hardships
of an army officer in the field may be
Imagined, for there Is no mention of a
corkscrew,- can opener, soldering iron
clotheswrlnger, flatfron, filter, trousers-
stretcher, glue pot, step ladder, water
proof matchsafe, bomb-proof whiskey
nasK, tobacco caddy, telescope water
cup and scores of other essentials.

SMUGGLING PRAYER-BOOKS.
Some proceedings at Konlgsberg, in
Germany not long ago revealed a pret
ty state of affairs on the Russian
frontier. Smuggling was shown to be
a matter of daily occurrence. They
are well known resorts on both sides
'it the frontier which are haunted' by
the smugglers, and the evidence
strengthened the suspicion that the
frontier guard' on the Russian side
closed one eye to this illicit traffic,
for a consideration, of course.
It was Incidental! mentioned by one
witness that 20,000 proyer-books In the
Lettish language were annually smug
gled Into Russia, the reason being that
the Russian government insists on
the Letts reading their language with
the Russian characters, and as they
ran read only Latin or Gothic type,
they draw their supplies contraband
from Germany.
An Interesting witness was the Rus
tiKn consul In Konlgsberg, who, when
asked to find certain passages In the
sequestrated tracts which he alleged
were treasonable, could not discover
them. It was also announced that the
Prussian government had determined
to give a number of Russians recently
expelled from Berlin to Switzerland
safe conducts to Konlgsberg. They
wfll testify to the harmless character
of the Russian political agitation,
Judged from a German point of view.
