PAGE TWO. ASTORIA, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1904. i 1 RETURN OF WAR, WRITERS Say Japanese Infantrymen Are Best Soldiers On Earth Cavalry a Farce. RUSSIAN CAVALRY IS SUPERB Co to Battlo With Bands Playing and Chorus Singing Stories of Cruslty False Believes Russia Will Win. Three correspondents fresh from the battlefields in Manchuria have just reached here, says the San Francisco Bulletin. They are James F. J. Arch! bald, who I well known in this city, and who represented Collier's in the far east; Robert Dunn, representing Outing, and W. H. Lewis of the New York Herald. Archibald had been with Kuropatkln's army for about eight months. Lewis was Vith Oku's forces, and Dunn has been an Invalid since July last. He had been shot In the foot by the Chun Chuses, or Red Haired bandits, in Northern Korea. As a result Mr. Dunn spent three months in a Yokohama hospital and saw little of the war. Praises Japs. The Japanese infantryman Is the best soldier on earth," said Mr. Lewis. That is a statement which I believe I can make without exaggeration. The Japanese makes a better Infantryman than ny other class of soldier. The Japanese cavalry Is a farce. The Japanese artillery is not so well man aged as it should, be, Although It has dope trrlbl elocution. 1 1 cannot express an opinion as to the outcome of the war. The battle of Llao Tang was almost fought to standstill. The Russians were able to hold the Japanese at that point It was a wonderful battle and the losses were enormous. I presume about 65.- 000 men were lost on both sides during the eight days' fighting. James F. J. Archibald, who repre sented Collier's Weekly on the Russian side, was in China when the war broke out and at once went up to Newch- wang. He followed the Russians to Liao Tang where he witnessed the battle from the Russian side and char acterlt.es it as a negative victory for the Japanese. Russsians Praised. The Russian cavalry is the best in the world," said Mr. Archibald. The Japanese have none worthy of the name, but the Russian cavalry up to the present has had no opportunity. There has been mud on all the pas sages from three to five feet deep. The corn fields with corn growing to fifteen feet in height were impossible for cavalry to penetrate. "Russian bravery is real bravery. The Russian soldiers recognize the Japanese as fine soldiers and admire them The stories of Russian cruelty are all a farce. "It is a fine sight to see the Russians go into battle with their bands playing and choirs singing at the van. Every Russian is of a deeply religious nature, and the singing of the vespers at even ing is one of the grandest things I have ever known. "I believe that the Russians will fight until they whip the Japanese. They will continue to pour troops Into Manchuria until they overwhelm them. "An army that can stand such de feats as the Russians have had, and preserve its morale, must be something great." ACTRESS DETECT8 CRIMINALS. Cloy Elmer Is Sometimes a Detective Aided Police in Famous Cases. San Francisco, Bulletin It Is not generally known that in famous crimi nal cases the work of clever women de tectives is often invaluable. There are very few women who are equal to the taciturnity demanded by the work. No TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM. Is the Oaly Possible Way of Bartas Am Effective Care. If you see a woman or a man with lux uriant glossy hair, you may be sure nei ther has dandruff to amount to anything. In nearly every case where women and men have thin brittle hair, they owe It to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep arations that "claim" to cure dandruff, but not one but Newbro's Herplclde tells you that dandruff is the result of a germ burrowing into the scalp, and that per manent cure of dandruff and Its conse quent falling and baldness, can only b bad by killing the germ; and there Is no other preparation that will destroy that germ but Newbro's Herplclde.

"Special Agent" .1 one would guess that dashing Cloy Kl mer, who sings coon songs at Fischer's, la one of the keenest woman detectives In the country and can be as "allent as the grave" about a case she may be working on. Miss Elmer came to San Francisco recently as a private deteo tlve for the Flnkertons of Chicago, She was in search of a recreant hus band who left a wife forlorn in Chi caco. The man. who la prominent in the Windy City, was found and the af' fair was settled by the clever little de tective without a hint of it reaching the public "It takes a quick brain and a silent tongue," said Miss Elmer of her novel work. Then when I'm on a case there is no rest until the work Is accom plished. It la really so much easier to (111 a theatrical engagement with no re sponsibllity but to sing my song every ntsrht. Still, on the other hand, detec tive work is interesting and full of ex citement. So I divide my time and ef forts and my stage career doesn't In terfere with my being a detective on occasions." Cloy Elmer's work in the famous Leutgert case of Chicago won her the respect of the Chicago police and de tective force. Leutgert was the butcher who several years ago cut up his wife and used her remains for sau sages. Miss Elmer's name was never known In the case, but '"Billy" Pinker ton. who had implicit confidence in her ability, put her on the case and It was her Individual efforts that did most to weave the web of incriminating evi dence about the Chicago sausage maker. Part of her success may be due to the fact tfcat in spite of a pair of keen eyes Miss Elmer's attractive feminity holds no suggestion of the woman de tective.
