When the war broke out, Major Lynch went directly to Port Arthur, which was being besieged. The defenses were of a very elaborate character, but the tide turned in favor of the Japanese with the capture of 203 Meter Hill, which enabled the attacking army to direct their mortar fire over the city and harbor, and led directly to Port Arthur's fall. Although General Stoessel has often been blamed for his conduct at the time of the siege, and has even been court-martialed, the Russian leader really did all in his power to save the city...
...confess that our ideal is a committee which should have some authority for self-perpetuation. Until we secure one man who will direct the football policy indefinitely we shall be in the position of the country of fortnightly revolutions which is assailed by an established power.

...assume that some competitive system is desirable, for popular election or direct appointment are open to much greater abuses than the existing practice.

...remedy of all the abuses of popular sovereignty. To the Reactionary it is the victory of Socialism, a fatal blow at the rights of property. But there must be a middle course between these antagonistic positions and the consideration of this important and pressing issue has made the direct representation of Conscience in local politics peculiarly essential. Conscientiousness is a normally conservative quality and while it is intolerant of oppression it is amenable to reason. If it will it can treat Municipal Ownership dispassionately and in the interests of public welfare, of financial stability and of local exigency. But whether...
...direct responsibility for constantly falling short of success should be placed rather on the general scheme of management than on the head coach of each particular season. It is generally admitted that the principal fault of our football policy is lack of permanence. This will continue as long as the selection of the head coach rests upon the judgment of the captain alone. It is fundamental that change in control brings change of policy, and the first step in the direction of permanency in coaching is to procure permanency in appointment. Now it has been suggested that a permanent committee...
