1.-The Russians and French held the
left, the British the left center, the
Americans the right center and the
Japanese the extreme right. The
British and Americans advanced on
the village at a rapid rate for 5000
yards, under a sever shell and rifle
fire. The Russians opened, and the
British-American advance became a
rush for positions, eliminating in a
brilliant charge. The heaviest loss Of
the day was sustained by the Ameri-
cans, the Fourteenth. infantry having
8 killed, 60 wounded and 2 missing.

tempted to cut off the Chinese retreat"

lowing to a mistake, British and Rus
sian guns shelled the Fourteenth
United States infantry during the
night, wounding ten"

cans, who seem to nav borne them
selves with conspicuous g%allantry, were
increased by a deplorable occurrence,

and British n The incident en-
phasizes the necessity of that close CO.

Commenting upon the American re-
ply to the Chinese overtures, the Daily
News says: 1.-The reply is more con-
ciliatory than hat of NJ. Delcasse. and
in some respects it is a little ambigu-
GUS. Still it's substance is the same.
1t may be observed that the United
States government does not sem to
separate itself from the allies"
