The usual notification was given to the public that something “was doing” in the military way by knocking to pleces the train schedule, which had not yet recovered its old equilibrium after the wrench it got when the first corps was’ sent away last month. Not a| word of what is going on appears in ' any of the local newspapers and no | one in any authority will discuss it with even his friends. The outsider is | left to put two and two together in the | best way he can. If the result is four, well and good; if it is not the trouble is more likely to be with something else | than his mathematics. But this cur-| tailing of the public service on the railways means that the second army | is moving out to the port of embarka- | tion. It should be made clear at the out- set that the Japanese army is not or- ganized In corps. It consists of twelve divisions, each composed of two bri- | gades, and the Imperial Guards, In all | thirteen divisions. In peace times the | regiments number only about half the men called to the fighting line in war. | The extra men used to fill up the line to its fighting strength are taken from the First Reserve. Consequently, when the first order of mobilization was sent out on the evening of February 6 it was not a general call to all the men liable for military service, but only to | i such as were needed to fill up the regi- ments then under orders, or about to receive them, for the front—wherever that mythical place may be. The troops selected for the first service have received no official designation as a whole, but for the sake of conveni- ence they may be called the First |Corps. They were the Guards, the Second and Twelfth divisions. 5 Each brigade consists of two regi- | ments of infantry and for each divi- sion there is a regiment each of cav- | alry and artillery, with a“battalion of | engineers and a train, or transport battalion. The guards are all station- | {ed in Tokio in peace times, although | their infantry is recruited from all |over the empire. The cavalry| |and artillery are recruited from | the Tokio district. The brigades and regiments of the Japanese army are numbered individually, without ref- | erence to the divisions and brigades | | to which they are attached. - Thus the | | Second Division Is composed of the | | Third Brigade, from Sendai, and the | | Fifteenth Brigade, from Shibata. Th | Third Brigade is composed of |Fourth and Twenty-ninth infantry | regiments, both from Sendai, and the | Fifteenth Brigade of the Sixtenth In- | fantry, from Shibata, and the Thir-| tieth, from Muramatsu. The head- | quarters of the division is at Sendai. | The Twelfth Division has its head- | | quarters at Kokura. It is composed {of the Twelfth Brigade, headquarters at Kokura, and the Twenty-fourth headquarters at Kurame. The Twelfth Brigade consists ' of the Fourteenth | and Forty-seventh infantry, from Ko- ! kura, and the Twenty-fourth Brigade |of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, from { Fukuoka, and the Forty-eighth In- fantry, from Kurame.

KOREA'S SEIZURE EASY. ‘When the order was issued calling the reserves of these three divisions to the colors the plan of the Japanese contemplated some much more ge- vere work than the event proved was necessary. Before the war began there was much talk that the first op- erations would involve the seizure of Masampho, on the southern coast of Korea, with its splendid harbor, as a great base, from which the main ad- vance would begin. That involved marching practically the entire Jap- anese army the whole length of the rugged Korean Peninsula before even a start was made at ejecting the Rus- sians from Manchuria. But at that time the Japanese apparently had fig- ured on having to fight for Seoul and Korea. The first naval operations, | however, resulted so successfully for them that they were relieved of that hard necessity, and were enabled to seize Seoul and make sure of Korea with hardly a struggle. Thereupon the plans were changed. The main body of the first army, or first corps, was landed at Chemulpo, and as events con- tinued to favor them several thousand of these men were taken some seventy miles farther by sea and landed at Haiju. The first objective now was Ping- yvang, where the Japanese had a sharp engagement with the Chinese in.their war nine years ago. To this point troops were sent at once, and at this writing the Japanese occupy it in force and have sent their advance /consider- ably farther north, to Anju, where they have had several little brushes with Russian scouts. But still no se- rious engagement is in sight for the| near future. The naval successes have produced a curiously mixed up change in the Japa- ‘ nese plans. They have undoubtedly ad- vanced the campaign as a whole by a | considerable time, possibly a month or more. At the same time'they have elayed the departure of troops from apan. The time it would have taken to march up from Masampho, or wher- ever they might have landed on the south coast of Korea, has been saved, and it has not been necessary to start the troops away from home. As a mat- ter of fact, If it were not for the un- favorable weather conditions, which make landing still farther up the coast ot only difficult, but productive of unnecessary hardship upon the men, the second corps would probably have been mobilized some time ago and al- ready landed north of Haiju, perhaps even up at Chenampho or even in the Korean Gulf. The first corps was mobil- ized very quickly and transported with willin&!y. Buster Tho-e po blue cheviot: Suits are marked Boys’ sizes from 4 a suit. Boys’ can If every $7.50.

Nature WIll Assist the Action of Pe-ru-na to Make Your Cure Speedy and Permanent. APRIL, MAY AND JUNE. April, May and June ‘constitute the spring season. From an astronomical standpoint March has usually been reck- oned as a spring mohth. But from a prac- tical climatic standpoint March belongs to the winter months. Not until the twenty-first day of March does the sun reach the equator in its journey north- ward, which brings us the first intima- tion that the rigors of winter are pass- ing and the balmy influences of spring are beginning to be felt. The spring months bring peculiar phy- sical llabilities to those who are well. They also bring pecullar modifications in Claude J. Kem, Clerk U. 8. Census Offlce, 1244 10th street, N.

As the hot weather set in I felt tired and worn out, had no appetite, and could not sieep at night, and when I would get up in the morning I felt more weary than when I re- tired.

Thompson, Member of Congress, Fifth Alabama District, writes from Washington, D. C.: “My cashier has used your Peruna for indigestion with the most unexampled and beneficial results, and I cannet too highly or earnestly recommend its gen- eral use.”—Chas. W. Thompson. Indigestion is most always followed by catarrh of the stomach. ‘There is no use of taking remedies to palliate indigestion. There is no use calling it dyspepsia, and then taking pepsin and other reme- dies to produce artificial digestion. The only rational procedure is cure the catarrh of the stomach. The catarrh on cured indigestion disappears, and there is no more dyspepsia. ,K Taking artificial digestants {s simply temporizing with the difficulty. In this way valuable time 1s lost while the catarrh is fastening it- self stronger and stronger upon the mu~ cous membrane of the stomach. A very short course of treatment with Peruna is sufficient to cure these cases. 1 Peruna is recommended by thé highest authorities and the most conspicuous people in the land. ‘1 Can Eat Anything Now,” Writes Miss Moore. Margaret J. Moore, 252 Garside street, Newark, N. J., writes: “I had dyspepsia so badly that I could not take a drink of water without suf- fering severe pain. or could not eat any- thing without bringing on_dyspepsia. I took one bottle of your = Peruna three months ago and can eat anything with- out suffering at all. I am as well as I ever was."—Margaret J. Moore. A short course of Paruna now wiil be just in time. During the months of April, May and June is the stra- tegic time to rid .yourself of chronio catarrh, ore of the most persistent, stubborn dissases in the whole list of human ailments. Stomach Trouble Cured After Three Years. Mr. Edward E. Conn, 315 Woodward | street, Jersey City, N. J., writes: “I have had stomach trouble for three years up to one and one-half years ago, when I first started with Peruna. After | taking one bottle I found relief, so I | kept on with Peruna, for I was glad that { I found a remedy that wéuld cure me. Every bottle that I took made me feel better. When I began taking Peruna I only weighed 110 pounds, and now I weigh 160 pounds. I owe my health to Peruna, and highly recommend it to those who are suffering from catarrh.”— Edward E. Conn. Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach by Pe-ru-na at the Age of 81 Years. Mr. S. D. Foss, 116 S. E. Sixth street, Minneapolis, Minn.. writes: | 71 wish_to congratulate you om your | medicine, @Peruna. I am an old man, eighty-one years of age. I have been a i sufferer with catarrh of the stomach for over two years, but since I have com- menced to take your remedy I have been steadily improving, until now I can safe- | ly say I feel no more of my old trouble, and as a matter of course, I will always ! have a good word for Peruna. I recom- | mend it to-all my friends.” | If you do mot derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of ! $ Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hart- | ¢ man, giving a full statement of. your | ¢ case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. | Address Dr. Hartman, President | of The Hartman Sanitarium, Colum- bus, Ohio. a celerity and ease that are models for any fighting nation. The second corps has had thirteen days in which to mobilize, and as far as can be judged by one who has no more facilities for observation than the extraordinarily secretive Japanese.permit its work has been done as well as that of the first. The last of them should be in Ulina, whence it is expected they will depart, within two days. MAKE-UP OF SECOND CORPS. This second corps is composed of the First Division, whose headquarters are at Tokio, the Third from Nagoya and | the Fourth from Osaka. The First Division comprises the First and Sec- ond brigades, composed of the First Infantry from Tokio, the Fifteenth | from Matsumato, the Second from Sakura and the Third from Takasaki. Tn the Third Division there are the Fifth Brigade (headquarters at Na- | goya), composed of the Sixth and Thirty-third "Infantry, both quartered at ' Nagoya, and the Seventeenth Bri- gade (headquarters at Toyohashi), composed of the Eighteenth Infantry, quartered at Toyohashi, and the Thir- ty-fourth, quartered at Shizuoka. The headquarters of the Fourth Division is | at Osaka. It is composed of the Sev- | enth Brigade (headquarters at Osaka), ' which comprises the Eighth and Thir- ; ty-seventh Infantry, both quartered at Osaka, and the Nineteenth Brigade (headquarters at Fushimi), compris- ing the Ninth Infantry from Otsu and the Thirty-eighth from Fushimi. Lieu- | tenant Generals Oshima and Ogawa command these | divisions respectively. The brigade commanders are Major Generals Mat- | shura, Firat: Nakamuba, Second: Prince Kanin, the separate cavalry brigade attached to the First Division; Oseko, the separate artillery bngndt: similarly attached; Yamaguchi, Fifth;, Haraguchl, Seventeenth; Nishijama, Seventh, and Ando, Nineteenth. In transporting these troops over sea the Japanese have the advantage transported were not so crowded as the official estimate would seem to imply. On most of the transports horses were taken also, or supplies of could carry. The Japanese did not attempt to fit bunks for their soldiers, as we do. Each man sleeps on a mat two and a half feet wide by five feet eight inches long, which he lays down on the deck. On these transports the men slept on the upper deck and horses were carried on the main and lower decks and in the hold. Each horse had a stall two fee} six by six feet. ; What the Japanese intend to make their main objective is at present pure speculation, and one man’s guess is Jjust as good as another’s.
