trampled and destroyed. saw only
one village where any Chinese were
living, although [ passed thru forty
towns lately populous. The villagers
have fled. not because of Russian cru
city, but because of bullets and shrap-
mel. The soldiers are using the furni-
ture and rafters OF deserted houses and
telling trees for fuel Figures resembl-
ing burly Chinese men dot the fields.
These are Russian soldiers in Chinese
winter dress. In startling contrast to
the cheerful autumn weather are the
deserted villages and barren fields
wherein are multitudes Of starving dogs
and great flocks of crows.
The whole country Is burrowed by
trenches and artillery positions, some
occupied, but many abandoned. In
some places the ground is streWn with
fragments of shells and bloodstained
boots cut from wounded legs: pieces
of cloth are there, too; and Japanese

soldiers at the front are living, SEEM

Russian graves are everywhere.
Near Shalopu the Japanese have one
division and four batteries. Another
battle is expected along the railway.
The fighting is continuous. The Jap
anes,s occupy the south end Of the viii

north end. Food can be brought to
either party only by night, and there is
