THE "NOVOE VREMYA" ON THE CRISIS.
The Nove Vremys of 21st October has the following article on the present Russo-Japanese crisis:-
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1903.
in reason Russia will gracefully concede,” She will, bestow an unctuous benediction on the efforts of the Japaneje to colonise Formosa; she will approve, within certain limits and with certain reservations and guarantees, of their emigration vo Coren, but when asked to open up Manchuria she smiles the half-amused, half- pitying smile of the man whom a spoilt child
Ask for the moon.
The Port Arthur journal of this morning (Nov. 11) says:-
"The spreading of sensational reports ob liges us, in order to refute them, to explain the true circumstances attending the occupation of Moukden by the Russian. The fact is that only two companies of our troops were sent there in order to bring about the re-establish-
"The Russian Dewspapers of the Før East and the European yess published in the same quarter say that period of calm, has made its appearance in Russo-Japanese relations and that a serious conflict between the two Powers is now out of the question. though at one time it seemed possible enough. "We are very glad to tear such good news, nevertheless the important question of.the.pre- servation of peace cannot be lightly disposed of, and we cannot therefore unfortunately receivement of order.. The Tartar General was not as gospel the cheerful information in question The Press of the Far East tells us to-day that there will be no war; yesterday it told us that war was unavoidable; to-morrow perhaps it will again assure us that we must inevitably come into collision with Japan. But on what foundation are all these rumours,-past, present and fature,bused? Evidently on the prevalent
one of the Japanese newspapers.
These papers began by crying out that it was necessary to make war on us, and everybody began to talk about the crisis; after a while these cries decreased and everybody began to feel com- fortable and to affirm that the danger of war
was minimised.
THE JAPANESE PRESS INACCURATE, "To attach such importance to the Japanese Press would not be extraordinary if that Press were always a mandel of accuracy and famous for its faithful expression of the views of its Government. But it cannot be said that the Press of any country is a faithful exponent of the views of its Government. It certainly can. not be said of the Japanese Press, which is to a large extent subsidised by the English and the Americans. Japanese papers are some- times in fact edited directly by representatives of these nationalities.
"On this account there is no need to be alarmed to any particular extent by the furious outbursts of the Japanese Press, or to be lulled into security by its optimistic predictions. One must estimate for him how matters stand in the Far East, especially when there is anything serious the matter there and must not allow himself to be influenced by the tone of the Japanese newspapers.
RELATIONS STRAINED.
"It would be mere affectation on our part to deny that our relations with Japan are rather strained at present. They have been strained for some time past although there was no a gressive action on our side which might be re garded as having brought about this estrange ment. At all events Tapan pushed on the warlike preparations of her fleet which she sent to maneuvre in the Straits of Corea, and which also stationed in a line from the island of Kargodo to the islands of Tsushima and Kiushiu. Soldiers were placed on board her transports and brought to Masampho. This was done by way of transport exercise of course. The men were not fanded but return. ed to the island.of Tsushima,
"We just mention this little fact to give the reader an idea of the acts which are account. able for the present crisis in the Far East.
"There is a wide interval of course between Auch acts and an actual collision. A demonsira.
tion carried out by a feet is a comparatively cheap performance, as Powers which possess a strong fleet are not averse to showing it off, especially if by doing so they think they can bring pressure to bear on a neighbour,

WORDS TO WOMEN.
What Tr. Williams""Pink"Pills did for
London Lady.
Women who suffer from Headaches, Pains in the Rack or Side, fainting fits. Anamin nr general weakness, are asked to try what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale, People will do for them.
WHY THEY SH ULD TRY. There is no other medicine that has done so much to save women from the, miseries which constantly or periodically afflict almost every woman. The girl in her "teens," hindered in developmen; the tired mother, wenried with work; or the middle-aged woman beginning to feel old before her time. will all find, if they choose to ask, that sufferers like themselves bless the day when, they first heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
WHAT THEY SHOULD DO We only ask our readers to send a private letter to us-Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Helborn-viaduct, London-and we undertake to froze to them beyond all doubt that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have saved the health of many women, who but for them would be miserablu

A FOOLISH ÖLD IDEA. It was once thought that à medicine was all the more beneficial for having a nasty taste. and smell. We now know that such an idea is perfect nonsense. There is no more reason why medicine should offend the senses than why food should do so. Therefore, one of the greatest chemical victories of the past few years is what we may call the redemption of cod liver oil. Everybody knows what a vile taste and smell this drug has in its natural state. No wonder most people declare they would rather suffer from disenge than take cod liver oil, and the emulsions are quite as foul and abominable as the plain oil, no matter what may be alleged to the contrary. Now it is one of nature's laws that a medicine which
disgusts the nose and the palate, and also sickens the stomach, can have no good effect as a medicine; because the system revolts | against it, and cries out to be delivered from
it, In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION the desired miracle is wrought, and we have the valuable part of the oil, without the other. This effective modem remertv. is palatable as honey and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by
us from fresh cad livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. The palate accepts it as it does sugar, confectionery or cream. Taken before meals it goes to the very secret stronghold ofVálgestive disorders: prevents and cures Nervous Dyspepsia, Anemia, Throat and Lung Troubles and al diseases due to impurity of the blood.
