was inevitable. Even assuming that the Russian feet remained intact and Japan did not possess command of the sea, it would have bees' poor policy to maintain headquarters down in one- corner of the county to be covered by the campaign, Besides this strategic reason, there are, however, thers still more potent. Poit

. Arthur is a typical Chinese fortress, and com

bines all the disadvantages consequent upon Chinese character. When a Chinaman seck# a suitable spot for a fortress his first objectivu is to find a place, well surrounded by hills which shall hide his presence from a passing! foe. The Chingman is never filled with desire for offensive action, and only seeks 10 be left quietly alune; the defensive is the utmost action be can think of. Thus, in Post Arthur we find the town situated snugly at the bottom of a saucer, of which the rings of hill

form the rim Clinging to the water's edge the Lown has to face all the dangers of floods ani insanitary conditions.

se the streets so filled with water that the The inost magnificent collection ever

ricksha conlies are nearly waist deep. The town lies in the natural course of the water draining from the hills to the sei. The bill are bare of vegetation, and the numerous for tifications which surmount them are the only cru s which are raised in the neighbourhood of Port Arthur. The fact that the Chinese had established a dockyard at Port Arthur led the Russians to decide upon making this place then ch of fortress in South Manchuria. They would have been far better advised to have relinquished the dubious advantages of the salary dry dock in favour of the site where the new town of Delay now stands. Here they would have had an ample deep-water harbour, while the natural conditions compare most favourably. I was another example of the strength of the Chinese habits over invading faces, The history of China teems with is. stases of how races lose their national char acteristics and adopt Chiasse ideas. Th action on the part of Russia can only be ex- plained on this ground, since what else could Induca practical naval and military men to choose as a base Port Arthur without suitable harbour accommodation for a fleet or possibility of maintaining a large garrison? And the defences are such that a large garrison, a least 24,000 men, is nacessary to the safety of the fortress. The little value of Port Arthur as anaval base has been demonstrated already, the fleet having had to fe outside the harbour risk- ing torpedo attacks, owing to the fact that the channel at the entrance is only 100 yards wide, and the space inside, insufficient to enable ves- sels of a feet to get up steering way without catastrophe. The military weakness of the fortress will be demonstrated in good time, Although there is little likelihood of any mi tempt on the part of the japanese to take it by assault. There is, indeed, no reason, from their point of view, why they should incur losses bound to be heavy. They can attain their object without any such costly a policy.

The retreat of Admiral Alexeieff to the north signalises the fact that he expects the com- munications between Liao-yang and Port Arthur to be cat by the Japanese. This will then leave Port Arthur isolated to work out her own salvation, or destruction. There can never be any difficul.y a' out the isolating of the fort se by the breaking of the railway line. South of Kin-chau, the line runs along the shors itself of the Yellow Sea, and the neck of land adjoining the Port Arthur territory to the mainland is both narrow and flat at this paint A couple of Japance Runboats could destroy the line and ison' the fortress without land. ing any troops.

fresh supplies for Port Arthur come from Che-additions, amusing arithmetic, measuring for SOAP AND SODA MANUFACTURERS. foo, but already those bave been shut off for all trades, calculations for all branches of many days. There remain only for the soldiery the stores laid op by the authorities. These, owing chiefly to the necessity for every officer to make his commission, are not what they are made out to be. Besides being insufficient, the stock is very much smaller than it is supposed to be. Thus the garrison is confront. ed with disapse and starvation and these with- out any chance of striking at the foe. The presence of the fleet will also have assisted in the reduction of the food supply.

ARE THE FORTIFICATIONS IMPREGNABLE?

The moral effect of the Japanese attacks and the knowledge that they are abandoned, as it were, to their fate, cannot fail to be great. Granted that Port Arthur's fortifications are impregnable, hunger and disease are certain to prove more efficient foes than several Army Corps of Japanese. And there are serious doubts as to the efficiency of the fortifications, recent mangeüvres having dis- closed serious weaknesses. But the Japanese are not going to stack Port Arthur from the land, for a considerable time at any rate. The

extent of their land operations near the fortress

will be the landing of troops at Kin-chau and the holding of the neck of land. The more men that were poured by Russia into Port Arthur the better were the pythorities at Tokio pleased. The greater the garrison the shorter the siege, was their motto Man can and do starve for incredible lengths of tinie when face to face with a foe, but it is another matter to starve in silence, quite out of the rays of the limelight,
