I do not belleve the Japanese seriously mean to attach the Chinese forts. They are too wise and value their ships too bigbly to do that, I am of the opinion that the recent affair at Wel hai-wel was reconnaissance. I believe the Japanese will clear the sea before winter, and that the campaign will be mainly on land.
