AND NEW YORK CAST | OF TWENTY KNOWN PLAYERS court bench, but it is impossible to overlook the non-political and un- in Hartford ed over the making of such & inding_someone to blased recommendations which are be- of enforce ing presented in behalf of forms President Taft. The letter which h petitions for his choice and in numer- ous instances democrats who have been mentioned for the vacancy have urged the naming of the ex-president. From the press throughout the coun- try his name has received hearty en- dorsement without regard to politics. The Buffalo Times, published by Nor- man Mach. former national demo- cratic chairman, recognizes his fitness, as does the New York World, the New York Commercial, and the Brooklyn Eagle, and in each instance the real importance is attached to the quali- fications of the man rather than his politics, the real fact which should got consideration in making the se- lection.

There are many days which receive epecial observance throughout the year, but there is none which deserves more respect or calls for a wider rec- ognition than that of child laber day, which has been fixed this_ year for Sunday, January 23. This has been observed for the past ten years with ticipation therein this vear's observ- ance should be the greatest of them all. The day Is observed for educa- tional purposes as part of the great movement for bringing fhe people to = greater recognition of the conditions of child labor throughdut the'countey in ‘the commendable effort fo im- prove them. . Much has been done in the different states to better the conditions under which children are employed. The purpose is to safeguard their inter- ests in every way throush state and national legislation.

Russia Wants Part of China, Russia’s desire to control that por- tion of northern through which the Trai runs is uppermost in the minds of all Russians in the Harbin section, and are constantly expressing the hope that the European war will sult in such a_readjustment in affairs of the Far East that Russia may galn actual possession of the territory through which its rallway passes. Although Harbin has an immense Chinese population, it is almost. as Russiah in its architecture and in the manners and customs of its peoplé as a clty in ‘the very heart of Russia, The other cities and towns along the Trans-Siberian line in Manchuria_are also practically Russian in everything but name.

The Russians have even taken the escaped German pris- oners away from Chinese soldiers ‘who were protecting them in Chinese territory, This has called forth bit- ter complaints from Germans in Man- churia. Conditions in Mongalia, south of the Trans-Siberian Raflway, are much the same as in that part of Manchu: by Rus- fect a Russian dependefcy rather than a Chinese territory. The Kutuku, the head of the Budd- hists in Mongolia, who is resident at Urga and who is the most powerful | city leader in Central Asia, negotiated an agreement last June by which China’s nominal control of Outer Mu ia was to be recognized, but he has re- cently refused to carry out terms of the agreement. Although Russia, 2s well as China, was a party to the agreement, it is charged by = some Chinese that the Kutuktu has been influenced in some way by the Russians who desired to create friction. The _Mongolian _ people, themselves, have frequently endeavored to get Russian to recognize them as an independent state and defend them against China and Japan. Chinese officlals are endea: 40 persuade the Kutuktu to carry out his - ment, but it is reported that Chen-lo, the Chinese diplomat who is at Urga conducting the negotiations is held Stories of the War Fe |23 British defeat as all the more signifi- cant. According to Ottoman sources of information the British losses in this battle were 17 colonels, 208 other officers and 5,000 men killed, and at least as large a number wounded. General Townsend, the British com- mander, himself, 1s said to have been severely wounded. Much war materi- and several river craft and trans- port barges were also captured by the Turks, “When the mews of the battle of Ctesiphon reached Constantinople the city was decorated with flags and bunting as never before.
