Give-the musicians loyal sup- port, as they are doing their boat to advertise our town in a very cf- feotive way. Spring is here, and residents ol~ Stroud who have never learned the value of beautifying our _ streets and brushing up -the general ap- pearance. should givc the matter -some thought. A village gels some kind of reputation. and if itsl people do not care what the rmuta- tion is, it is not likely to 5.3 very good one.

Iiu$a;u;q ` Admiral Rojestvensky is keeping `his fleet moving, but is not, appar- ently, getting any nearer to Ad- miral Togo, who is waiting to wel- come his entrance into Japanese waters. ,On Friday the Russian fleet was at Kamranh Bay; `two days later. Sunday, it was reported at Turan Bay, 350 miles north of Kamranh Bay`, _on the Anam coast. The belief that Rojestvensky pro,- poses to await the arrival` of Vice- Admiral Nebogatoff is strengthen-ed by the movements of his fleet. It is possible. however. that `he may find it difficult to secure a har- tbor that will afford adequate, shelter for his fleet alongthis coast, which is rocky and reported to be `par: ticularly Jdangerous, owing to` the currents and the prevalence `of `tropical storms.

A revised estimate of the strength `of Vice-Admiral Nebogatoff 8 8117086- ,ron is that it -consists of but two. or at the most three. battleships and -three cruisers.
