no NC 4Ndpie una spectacular
na't'e IN the annals OF modern warfare
was the battle of Nan Shan bill. when
50,0GO Japanase defeated 20 o0O Plssians
capturing the city OF Kin chou and a
line OF fortified hills extending across
the i.ioo Tung peninsula.
The Japanese literally waded through
riNAlets OF their own blood and over II
'bootas to climb the heights to victory.
They ~actually had to climb over WIN
rows of their dead "a dying fellow
patriots to the coveted goal. But they
won.
Says 1000 Were Killed.
l5ully 1000 Japanese were killed out
right in the terrible onslaught. the
Russians lost 1000 ana would have bann
annjhilated had they not retreated.
Such daredevil heroisol and stubborn
resistance has moi been sann since tba
American civil war.
Charge after charge was made IN he
steep sides of Nan shan. Time after,
llillP tHt Russian INNS hnIrhal down
death upon every man of the attack
ing force. The dead lay in serried
heaps upon the grassy hillsides.
Recovering from the shock of the
slaughter of the front ranks the re.r
forces would again bI,,l .hon,eol.o. g c.,
ward. only TO be laid lifeless upon the
bodies of their fellows.
Twenty times the long line of little
brown men raced up the hill toward the
hiddea Russians. Twenty times every
man was laid low.
Kin Chou Fell at Daybreak.
