General Macdonald's main body arrived at 10-30. The British Mountain Battery opened on the fort on the hill at eleven and si'enced it in quarter of an hour. The Pathans then carried the villages and monastery to the left of the enemy's position, the 32nd and 23rd Pioneers carrying the right of the position,_supporting the Mounted In- fantry. The enemy held on to the villages and the guns and Maxime again opened on them continuing till 11.30 when the enemy's fire was entirely silenced. The fighting inside the fort and villages was of a sharp nature. The enemy were engaged at close quarters by the Pathana and Pioneers and severely punished. The enemy would not break, however, and it is doubtful whether all were cleared out. The column advanced to Gyantee and arrived in the evening. Our casualties were four sepoys killed, Beven wounded including Major Lye, 23rd Pioneers alight, in the hand, from a sword! cut. Quantities, of Martinis" and other rifles were captured.

The troops were all in position by 3-30 in the morning, the three assaulting columns advancing to the attack. It was pitch dark when they reached the villages ut the foot of the Jong, but the moment we opened tire the onemy replied with a very hot fire from the houses, the right column being exposed at a range of about ten yards and being temporarily checked. There was not light enough for oar guns to come into action till past five, the enemy's jingale meanwhile hotly bombarding Parla Village, but doing little damage. The check to our avance was only temporary and the Infantry had sccupied the town by six, half a Company of Gurkhas oven forcing their way to the main gate of the Jong, but being com- pelled subarquently to retire.

Our ten-pounders did excel- lent work in demolishing the main gate of the fort, the towers and the big curtain wall. By eleven o'clock the troops had established themselves in a portion of the town at small cest, our casualtics being three killed. By two o'clock the guns had breached the main wall and the storming party was ordered to start at 9-50 for the town. The advance of the Companies of the 8th Gurkhas, one of the Fusiliers, one Maxim, and the 9th Gurkbas was admirab ly carried out, the entire force roaching the font of the position in half an hour; about four o'clock the enemy's magazine blew After a short delay for preparation by shrapnel and Maxim fire, the force started to rush the breach, the Gurk- Lieuten 'nt by Дан leading, hended Grant.

Food will surely create Poison,
if Digestion is Faulty.
Well-digested food is the source of strength. Every act, every thought, every movement of muscle or mind uses up some of the substance of our bodies. Food repairs this loss, but only when it is digested.
Undigested food ferments in the stomach, poisons the blood, starves the body and lowers vitality.
To be strong and healthy, assist your stomach, liver and kidneys to do their work perfectly by taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, which contains food- digesting ferments and gentle tonics for the stomach, and has cured more dyspeptics than any other medicine in the world.
MOTHER
SEIGEL'S SYRUP
"For nine years I suffered from severe pains in the vicinity of the kidneys, lost my appetite completely, and could only take milk and beef ten; anything more substantial would not remain in the stomach. I became so ill A that I was forced to take to my bed. A doctor treated me for almost two months, but without success. On arriving at Cape Town at the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup. One bottle relieved me, and now I am never without a bottle in my house." X. Norodien, Malay Location, Johannesburg, March syth,
Makes Food nourish you.
It aids Digestion, and Food well digested
means Strength, Vitality, Health.

Figures are proverbially dangerous, and in war they are especially so when you have to reckon with an Army like the Japanese, whose mobility is greater than that of any dismounted force in the world. That the Russians were out-man œuvred and taken by surprise is as certain as that they fought with desperate bravery.
