The fact that the Russians discovered another Japanese mine almost in the exact spot where the battleship Pobleda was injured is taken as evidence of the desperate thoroughness with which the Japanese must have carried out their mining operations on April 11.

Thin people are usually weak and ailing and Vinol is what they need." The cake table will be one of the features of the bazaar.

Stegmaier Brewing Co The Russky Invalid, the army organ, eays: "We believe that two Japanese divisions are moving forward from Fengwangcheng on the Linoyang road. The presence of a large force of artillery at Siuyeu, about fifty-five miles southwest of Fengwangcheng, may indicate a Japanese intention of fortifying that place so as to protect the left flank of their base of operations, which probably is now included in a quadrilateral bounded by lines connecting Siuyen, Takushan, Fengwangcheng and Antung. lines are probably connected with Japanese bases through Chantaidzy, on the road leading to Pitsewo and Wiju and Anju into Korea."
