IS THE END NEAR?
With each victory of the Jap
anese has come the question to
an outside world, standing
aghast at the fearful carnage
and awful loss of life in this
great struggle: “And is the end
yet?” Kuropatkin driven north
ward from the disputed territory
of Manchuria by a succession of
crushing defeats, which each
time become more costly to the
Russians not alone in lives lost,
but in prestige of their arms, is
bait,line- for etrress through Tie
Pass, where mountains leave but
a narrow valley along the Liac
river through which retreat tc
Harbin must be made.
The heavens aglow upon this
war scene from the burning Rus
sian stores at Mukden, the
forces of Kaulbars routed upor
the left and this wing driver
1 backward to the north and ir
: their last ditches to protect the
1! railway and road to Harbin. The
: j veterans of Port Arthur, led by
; J the indomitable Nogi and valiant
| Oku are driving home the turn
ing movement and may rend the
Russian line of communication
from the north.
Kuroki, whose feints and fear
less sacrifice of life had duped
the Russians into believing that
upon their right and center was
the real brunt of the battle and
thus brought reinforcements
! hither, leaving a weakened left,
! now attacks in earnest the flower
of the Russian army as they fall
I back, seeking retreat northward.
Such seems the picture of Wed
nesday night in far-away Muk
den. as the lighted heavens pro
claim the success of the mikado’s
arms and in lurid colors herald
to the world Russia’s most bitter
and disastrous defeat.
TVeiirnn IVT^npllliriQ
disputed territory in possession

! fh ing the flag of her new con
querors, who had been expelled
by the northern aggressors upon
the close of the China-Japanese
conflict, the czar’s Pacific fleet
sunk and scattered and Togo’s
‘ j warships free to await the com
ing of the Baltic squadron,—the
victors by land and sea have only
to rest upon the laurels won, de
fenders henceforth and not ag
gressors.
’Tis their turn to lie behind
I well constructed entrenchments,
' defended by heavy artillery set
in masonry upon chosen battle
j grounds, and the Cossack hordes
; will find the war of aggression
, a ditferent matter. Genera
5 Kuropatkin, famous for retreats
and admitted to be good in this
line, will find himself out of £
- job, where initiative is required,
The turning point of the wai
has been reached and its furthei
continuation promises only great
er disasters to the Russiar
f armies. The laboring men oi
her populace centers demanding
reforms, the students of hei
1 schools and universities urging £
\ constitutional government, the
peasantry of her realms discon
tented in their poverty and ig
r norance and susceptible to the
teachings of socialists, the fire
brands of revolution threaten to
imperil the existence of the auto
cratic government so long sub
mitted to or force upon the Czar
an assembly which shall have
the voice of the people heard in
the government of the Russias.
The fall of Mukden may suspass
this limit of endurance and pub
lic sentiment, which has been
powerless in Russia until today,
! may force peace.

Sustain People of Monticello and
Promise to Send a Successor
to Miss Mary Holmes.
Pine Bluff, March 8. — Another
chapter has been added to the
incident of the negro school at
Monticello and the ultimate clos
ing of the school because of the
visits of Miss Mary Holmes to
that place.
The reports as sent out through
the columns of the press regard
ing the attempt to foist social
equality, the “coffin incident’’
and the exodus of the negro
pupils from the city reached the
attention of the educational as
sociation of the Northern Pres
byterian church, which associa
tion Miss Holmes represented in
the running of the school.
The association very promptly
sent a committee to Monticello to
investigate the whole affair. The
members of the committee visit
ed the city and found that the
o in moin
Miss Holmes did make too much
of a display of affection toward
the negroes, and she did it in
public. She stopped over night
at the school, instead of going to
a hotel or boarding house.
She was seen driving on the
streets with the negro Mebane
and some of the negro teachers.
The coffin was left at her door.
The affair was ended by the
committee promising that if the
good people of Montieello wanted
the school to reopen, it would be
done and promised that it would
be conducted on the right lines,
so that the actions of none of the
teachers or agents of the North
ern Presbyterian church would
be an offense to the customs and
the practices of the good people
of the south.
