CHARLOTTE NEWS, FEBRUARY 22, 1 904 9 IS! .- - . ; - a ' x A nervous, irritable mother, often oh the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children ; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child, involves; it impossible for ; her to do anything calmly. " She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered, nerves caused by some derangement of the- uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condi tion needs attention, and she cannot do better than to take , V !i - ; . It builds up her system, strengthens-her nerves, and enables her to calmly handle a disobedient . child without a scene, The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet.

The Associated Press at the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan had not less than than nine trained war correspon dents at or near the scene of conflict. Cf these the staff correspondents at Tokio, Manila, Pekin and the resident correspondents at Seoul, Nagaski, Chee Foo, Shanghai andHong Kong were al fr.riy on the ground and had more or hs3 f. i-iliarity with the diplomatic iiegotia.l :rs that preceded the struggle and in ade'ition, of course, a more or less intimate knowledge of the topo graphical conditions of what was to become the theatre of the war. Three war correspondents who had served through the Spanish war, the Philippine campaigns and the Boer uprising were sent to reinforce this staff of workers z?, soon as it was seen that a clash was inevitable and immi nent. - ; When the news of the naval skirm ish off Pert Arthur, which cost Russia so dear, was received at the Asosciated Press office: in New York, it did not come in the way of any great surprise to the men in charge there. That ac tual hostilities were under way had been known there for three days, though the information was not to-be given to the newspapers. The Tokio corespondent of the As sociated Press,; Mr.i Egan, had been in formed - by the Japanese government that in order to mask the initial movements of the fleet, there would be a three days' embargo on all press dis patches, beginning at the moment the order to begin hostilities was t given. This information reached the New j York, office with little delay, and when I some time alter the code, word which, -meant that his dispatches had been held up was received from Mr. Egan the Associated Press people knew in an ! instant that this meant that war had begun. . .' Teh pact of secrecy was held invio late, as a master of course or per haps the Russian warships would have worked their searchlights with a little more diligence on that fateful night, but without loss of time a code word was flashed to every corespondent at a point on the Yellow Sea warning them to be on the alert for develop ments. ; 7 During, the -three days of rigid cen sorship the Associated Press knew that it could not handle any Japanese dis patches, but wor"ked its Chee Foo cable, which is near Port Arthur, but "not under the control of either of the con tending powers- for all it was worjth. Since then the Japanese censorship has been raised to a certain extent and news can. now be obtained from there, but on account of; its freedom from censorship Chee Foo will be maintain ed as long, as the . naval conflict lasts as the base from which cable news will, be transmitted. ' -- During the Spanish war the dispatch boat played an important part in the transmission of war news. The Asso ciated ' Press spent more than $300,000 during the three imonths that war last ed : for war, news', much of it to main tain its fleet of five specially chertered dispatch boats. TThese fleet little ves sel's, . besides carrying . dispatches to the various points in the West Indies, where, they could - be filed, followed the American war vessels and thus were able to report heir movements with great accuracy. There will be nothing of that kind in the Russo-Japanese war, at least not with official sanction, nor will the cor respondents be allowed to board either the Russian or Japanese naval vessels. What, may be done is quite "another thing should the war be carried so far cut to sea as to make the points of van tage already occupied by the Associated Press men on the scene useless, which, however, is net regarded as likely. The naval fightsN will' naturally be. to .cover the landing qf troops or to threaten some strategic point on shore, as was the case at Port Arthur. The Associated Press,, with the per mission of the Japanese government, sent two men with the expeditions landed in Corea. They will accompany the troops during their campaign in the Hermit Kingdom. Other corre spondents have been sent with the Rus sian force-starting from Port Arthur for the Yalu river. From interior points the sending of news will be slow necessarily and fraugt with difficulties, chiefly on. ac count of a rule issued by the Japanese government which makes it necessary for all dispatches destined for points beyond Tokio to be filed with the' cen sor in Japanese. This necessitates the sending of Japanese translators with each corre spondent; and, of course, retards the work of getting out the news to a very considerable extent. But' the Japan ese newspapers are very enterprising and are likely to get more freedom in the handling of neWs, and the Tokio correspondent of the Associated Press has been instructed to improve' the opportunity that will thus come his way.- oT get news through from the Rus sian side will undoubtedly be harder still. First of all, the censorship will be more rigid within the Russian lines, both as matter of well-known Russian jtfatCfr'O 0 O a& principle, on account of the -earlyx set- f . , r 0 9 7 jpgw k taw j...JbsHh:, TSfe.- ILCi -M jl(BaMlagjIh ?

But the Associated Press has taken all that into consideration and made am ple preparations to meet this emergen cy. Already its ability to get war news out of the Muscovite Empire has been put to the test during the present campaign and not been found wanting. From the interior of Corea and Man churia, where the land campaign un doubtedly will be carried, there is, one single telegraph line, operated by the Great Northern Telegraph Company, which, stranggling across the Siberian steppes and following the windings of the Trans-Siberian Railway, finds its way to St. Petersburg and furnishes the sole purely Russian connecting . link between the modern capital of Russia and its forbidding sentinel in the ex treme East, Port Arthur. While this line is likely to suffer, from the rav ages of warfare, it will form the most reliable medium for transmitting news of the movement. of Russian. troops in the interior, . In .view of this fact the Associated Press has established a full bureau in St. Petersburg, and has sent its Wash i ington correspondent, Howard Thomp son, who served through the Spanish war, to take charge. Already this bureau has rendered ex cellent account of itself. For over a wee'k it has transmitted graphic and very full dispatches of news from the Russian capital affecting the war. It was through Mr. - mom-pson tnat me full report of Admiral Alexieff's report of the Port Arthur defeat was sent out without ,delay, and practically uncen sored, though damaging to the prestige of Russian arms and Russian credits, and on- Tuesday evening the Czar's'waT edict, which was given to the world exclusively thorugh the' Associated Press, came through from St. Peters-, burg.. ., The Pacific cable will be an import ant factor in the transmission of war news. Its existence marks a distinct fprward step in the rapid handling of news. The old way of sending news from the far Eas was from Shanghai through the 'Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and Suez to London. This involved S2 or 33 relays. By this route dispatches were likely to be Jong in transmission and less accurate. Across, the Pacific, wiihjthe new cable, there are only five relays. . , ' . , Under, ithe old system the British capital practically became the clearing house for news from the( extreme East. The British papers and 'those in other European capitate as' well, not only had time to receive extensive news dispatches and get them into - print where only the briefest account of some far Eastern event appeared in the American papers, .but they, even had time to make the; fullest editorial com ment on them. This has" all been reversed by the Pacific cable, which ends in Manila, where the Associated Press has a well organized arid fully equipped bureau, in charge of an experienced correspon dent, and already at this early stage of the trouble in the far East it has been demonstrated that San Francisco and New York are likely to take the place of London 'as news centers in this war. . . , We are proud of the growth of our fx We " are headquarters for the majority of retailers in North y and South Carolina and they can all vouch for our treatment of - customers.
