And it must be admitted that all women do not want to be de- fended against the ogling. If there were no responses from women themselves the disgusting custom would soon die of its own fu- ‘tility. i it is @ matter to which women's clubs might very consistently devote a part of their superfluous energies, The evil ts to be Best met by the owmen themselves.

The First batch of military at- Ttaches who are to observe the work ‘of the Japanese army in the fiela for their various governments, have reached the front. The Japanese government is taking good care of them, although they were not al lowed to get away in time to see the first fighting on the Yalu. The first that was hoard in Tokio from them after they left Japan was by Col, Wood, miltary attache to the United States legation. He re vea & telegram the other day from one of the American observers, It read like this: Landed Antung today. Proceed at once to the front. For heaven's sake send us some laundry soap!

Every day one of the no ges to the navy office and asks for news from his father and copies of all his official reports are always given to the family.

The most disappointed men in Tokio are the naval attaches. There are & score or more of them, and not one has been allowed to accom- pany the navy on even one of its cruises. Scarcely a day passes that there is not some story published regarding the work of the navy The fact that most of them are un- true does not Interfere with their discussion. If you drop into the Toklo club late any afternoon, you will find a dozen or more of these attaches alt- ting around a table hotly discussing the latest phase of the naval war. The latest addition to the circle is LAeut, Chandler of the United States navy, the officer who was in command of the flotilla of destroy- ers which was recently sent from the United States to Manila by way of the Suez canal. He is ¢ torpedo- boat expert and is a neh cham pion of the little crafts, There is no other ship worth having, he | thinks. Some of the other attaches were trying to argue the matter with him the other day. He re fused to change his mind “There are only two classes of warships that are worth sea room,” he declared, torpedo ships and ba’ tleships. And,” he added, “the onty thing battleships are good for is to have something for torpedo boats to blow up.” WILL H. BRILL.
