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."

Cloy Elmer Is Sometimes a Detective
Aided Police in Famous Cases.
San Francisco, Bulletin It Is not

TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.

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. "Destroy
the cause, and you remove the effect."

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

citement. So I divide my time and ef

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

the fact tfcat in spite of a pair of keen
eyes Miss Elmer's attractive feminity
holds no suggestion of the woman de

Have been suffering from Impure Blood

has done me a great deal of good. I intend
to continue to use it, as I believe it to be
the best Blood Medicine on the market
Cleveland, Tenn. W. E. DBTBB4.
For over fifteen years I have suffered
more or less from Impure Blood. About s
rear ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my neck. I saw S. S. 3.

taking three bottles all Boils disappeared

with bad blood, skin eruptions and boils,
I had boils ran trine from five to twenty in

S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
seeded in my case. It drove out all impu

boils. This has been ten years ago, and I
have never bad a return of the disease.
