General Nogi, it is true, praised the heroic defence of the city-, and Stoessel himself was a sort of popular hero all around the world dur- ing the siege, It is true also that the defence was hopeless, and that the la- panese sapping and mining would have brought, victory before many more mouths hail passed -perhaps even With- in a few weeks. But when the Russian ' prisoners marched out, triple the strength that the world had. believed, and when it was seen that they were in comparatively good physical condition and had -not been lacking food �r bther supplies, it was hart' to recognize the military jus- tification of 'the .surrender, except upon the argument that Russia no longer pro- fited bef the siege -and that was not for Stoessel to decide. Beyond. that, it ap- 'peered that Stoessel had not been be real hero of the defence, but had played a weak second to One or two at his own Subordinates.' Whether he is given the extreme punishment or is pardoned, the world- Nyill not bother much about him, for himself, alone. But then there is also 'Admiral Masl- en, the viceroy, the pet of the grand du- cal clique, the blind, ignorant represen- tative of...the czar in the far East, the man who had so much to do with irri- tating.Japan before the war and who managed Russia's affairs so inconapete .ently during the early stages of the war. For him to be passed aver with no- -thing more serious than a recommenda- tion that he be reprimanded is to make .the whole Russian investigation cif the War look like a farce. .

When a man comes to love God he, longe to serve Him, and his gratitude and obedience arid sacrifices are as irrepressible as the waters that gush from the wing on the mountain -side.
