For this reason Lieutenant General

In the course OF the assaults which
took place in the four last days Of
August. two companies of Japanese
soldiers, according to Prince RadziyiI,
found themselves az the mercy OF the
Russians and hoisted a white nag. To
this. however. the Russians paid no
attention and continued to volley rap
idly into the helpless ranks Of the
enemy. In the meanwhile japanese

among the bodies Of previous assaults.
For days afteryard the wounded men
