The War had been Insufficiently watched by the press. Nobody even thought that the war crald go through the winter; the war was not stodied by very capable men and men critical points might therefore have been inadequ tely investigated. The battle of Pingsang was the most critical stage of the war, and it was deplorable that there were no Europeens or WAY correspondents there at the time.
