resistance. Another detachment was sent up the coast to take Pitsowo, the point at which the Japanese landing was effected in the war of 1894-5.

Pulantien had historical interest for the Japanese (says the Japan Daily Mail). It was there that the Chinese made one of the few really able strategical movce standing. to their credit in the campain of 1894.5. At two places the Liaotung Peninsula takes the from of narrow isthmus. Those places are Pulantien on the north and Kinchow on the south. When the Japanese troops had marched down the Peninsula and had just taken Port Arthur, news suddenly reached General Yamaji, who commanded the invading force, that the Chinese hud moved down from Fuchow and occupied Pulantien. It was terribly significant intel- ligence for it meant that the invaders were reduced, as the Japanese proverb has it, to the condition of a
