The Japanese are utilizing Manchurian carts and mule transport to a considerable extent. Grain is plentiful. The Chinese state that the Russians were perfectly orderly while in this region. This concides with the opinion ex pressed all along the Russian line of march that their behaviour has been exemplary.

An heroic incident of the battle was a fight In which a company of Japanese reserves was engaged while in pursuit of the Russians. They arrived two hours before their comrades and found themselves in the rear of the enemy. They were immediately attacked, but fought until only one officer and half the company were left, when, their ammunition being ex- hausted, they fixed bayonets and prepared to charge, preferring death to surrender. But the opportune arrival of the main body of reserves

Hardly had the Japanese sealed the position of Kiu-lieng-cheng than the reserves of two divisions, who hitherto bad taken no part in the proceedings, were set in motion. Both bodies of men, accompanied by mountain gun hurried right and left respectively of the Peking road with the intention of cutting off the retreat of the defeated Russiana. The reserves of the remaining division followed more leisurely along the road, employing delaying tactics.

Fearful of losing the fray, the flanking bodies in their haste outstripped their guns, and, after I', advancing parallel to the road until abreast of the retiring enemy, suddenly closed in, com- plately surprising the Russians, who were forced to take up a defensive position at Hohmutang, six miles from Kiu-lien-cheng.

The body pursuing in the rear quickened its movement, and all three simultaneously en gaged the Russians. A desperate fight ensued, the Russians at short range using their gura with deadly effect. The Japanese greatly out- numbered the opponents and inflicted terrible lasses with their rifle fire. Without guns the Japanese might well have retired and walted for support, but the men, jealous of the laurels earned by their comrades earlier in the day, were wild, to get at the enemy. With loud cheers all three bodies with bayonets fixed charged the Russian position in almost solid masses. Such impetuosity, backed by superior numbers, could not be withslaod, and the Rur sians hoisted the white flag in token of sur,

render.

While a remarkable victory rests with the Japanese, the fact remains that they outnumber. ed the enemy by nearly ten to one, and must necessarily have effected a crossing and scored a success. But that they should have inflicted a calamitous defeat upon the Russians was beyond prediction." It is accounted for by the

were old-fashioned.

With the Japanese no fault can be found, ex cept that they achieved results at great expense which might have been secured more cheaply, A demonstration in front of Kiu-lien-cheng, which might have been accomplished with little loss, would have held the Russians and per mitted a flanking movement on a wider and larger scale. A similar one actually took place on the Russian left. Seeing that they were in possession of Tiger Hill, such a move on the part of the Japanese would have been perfectly practicable, considering the number of men'

It is expected that the engines will develop at least 65,000 horsepower, If this amount were divided possibly more. between three shifts, each would be obliged to transmit more than 20,000-in certain emer«. gencies fully 15 000 By dividing the work among the four shafts, each would be required to handle only from 16,000 to -18,000. The Lucania and Compania have engines develop. ing 30,000 horsepower, half of which is used in each shaft. When one pauses to consider what

Indeed, as a turbine can stand a considerable overload, the reduction would probably not be even that much."

Two factors doubtless influenced them-one, the necessity of giving the army, clamorous to emulate the deeds of their naval brethren, the opportunity to learn distinction; the other the political expediency of inflicting a stunning blow on the enemy and demonstrating at one and the same time their ability to cope with

Though the fighting strength, of the Russian forces in the Far East has been impaired infinitesimally-for many of the guns captured were old, and it is assumed that they are still well furnished with modern weapons the moral effect to the Russian army must be tremendous. They realize now that the Japan-- ese soldier is not an object of contempt, but an equal, bold and relentless in war. This will not be without its effect on the ill-paid Russian soldier, who is almost half a slave. The Japan- ese have calculated upon this effect.
