! ing forward irresistibly all the time.
The morning of September 3 saw
the resumption of the cannonading
at dawn and the vast clouds of smoke
which arose slowly from the burning
warehouses in the foreign settlement
at Liaoyang could be seen for a dis
tance of ten miles. AS the corre-
spondent was attempting to get into
Liaoyang he heard Russian cheers in
the direction of Kowliang, to the west
of the railroad. and it was reported
that General Mistchenko had been
successful in clearing the enemy away
from the Russian right flank.
General Zassulitch of Kuliencheng
fame, with 1000 men, on September 3
was smoothing the road north of Lao
yang for the retreat of the Russian
artillery and troops. He was also try
ing to put into effect various devices
calculated to delay the advance of the
japanese.
l. When the correspondent passed the
fire-swept bed of the Taitse River on
his way into Liaoyang at noon of Sep
tember 8 the Russian infantry had re-
tired from the immediate front to
shelter behind the south wall of the
city. Upon getting into Liaoyang it
was seen that Japanese rifle bullets
were falling around the railroad sta
ton and that all the stored lumber
and wooden bridges in that vicinity
were in flames.
MANY CHINESE WOUNDED.
Two hundred and twenty Chinese,
who had been wounded by the shells
falling inside the city. had been
brought together at the Chinese Red
Cross station and were being cared
for 1t was apparent that the RUS
slams were using the walls of the city
for protection. This the Japanese dis
covered and consequently they con-
tinued to throw shells into Liaoyang.
The number of Chinese wounded in
creased.
Upon the assurance of a member of
the staff of General ZassuIitch that the
evacuation of Liaoyang would not oc-
cur before September 4, the corre-
respondent devoted his attention to
caring for Chinese wounded until
nsghtfaH, but during the night all the
Russian sentries were withdrawn from
Liaoyang, the pontoon bridges across
the Taitse River were hurriedly re-
moved the japanese entered and took
possession of the city and the corre-
spondent was taken prisoner before he
was aware of what had occurred.
The battle of Liaoyang is accepted
here as determining the mastery of
Manchuria. In it the Russians were
fully equal in numerical strength TO
the japanese, who had approximately
100. 900 in the field. The Russian ar
tillery was superior in range and
rapidity of fire to that of the Jap
anese. The Russians forced the jap
anese attackers to take dangerous po-
sitions by intrepid assaults In many
instances the Russians lost more men
behind their breastworks than did the
attacking Japanese.
In the fighting on the plains. where
the Russians believed they would
have the upper hand because Of their
superiority in cavalry and of the op-
portunities to deliver bayonet charges,
the Japanese resisted successfully.
The Russian losses in the fighting
around Liaoyang are estimated at 10
per cent of the number Of troops en-

ONLY A FLANK ATTACK.

Military authorities say that this
movement cannot be called an envel-
oping movement being merely an at
tack on Kuropatkin's left flank. The
guards division of Kuroki's army was
not seriously engaged in the fighting
on September 8. 1t had been hurried
northward to reinforce the twelfth
division on the morning of that day.
but the extreme caution of the jap
anese held the guards in reserve. for
fear of counter attack by the Rus
slams on the left center. Such an at
tack was impossible, owing to the long
line which was necessary 10 the Rus
slams to cover their position.
"kuropatkin's safe withdrawal and
virtual victory place him in the highest
position as a commander. In a mar
velously short time he has reorganized
an inefficient army, badly officered and
ignorant of the science of war, into a
good fighting machine under perfect
control. This was done with a large
percentage of the same troops that had
been defeated again and again by the
japanese.
Now the troops of the Mikado, with
victories galore to their credit. have
less chance of final success than they
had some months ago. StrategicaIIy
the Japanese campaign in Manchuria
is failure, because, conforming to the
national desire to posses Port Arthur.
sthe japanese devoted too much force
to their endeavor to take that fortress.
They devided their strength, and the
result was that they failed to crush

John F. Bass Says
Japan Has Lost
Her Chance.
Back From Campaign
With the Army
of Kuroki.
Special dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-John F. Bass,
war correspondent for the Daily News
of this city, reached Chefu to-day
after some months spent with Gener-
al Kuroki's army. In d cablegram to
his paper, dated to-day, Bass is un-
sparing in his criticism of the Japan
ese commanders. He declares that
the japanese have 10000 men in the
field, while Kuropatkins army is
much smaller than the Russians would
have their foes believe, and is made
up for the most part of raw Siberians
whom Kuropatkin has gradually
whipped into an effective fighting
force after they had been repeatedly
defeated by the Japanese.
Bass declares that the Japanese, by
their slowness, have forfeited their
chance to destroy the Russian force,
! which now is practically out of dan
ger and only awaits the arrival of re-
inforcements to turn the tide of war.
The war writer has only words of
praise for the Japanese troops, whose
utter fearlessness is marvellous, but he
says the strategy of the Japanese of
ficers merely consists in sending these
brave men straight ahead, no matter
what the obstacle.
After passing months in contriv-
ing an exact combined movement from
the south and west to crush the Rus
sian army at Liaoyang, the Japanese
! failed" he says, through the slow
ness and timidity of their strategy, to
throw sufficiently large force from
Kuroki's army far enough to the east
and north to cut off the Russian re-
| treat. They might have annihilated
the Russians when, after fighting one
of the greatest rear guard battles of
history, the retirement from Liaoyang
began on the night of September 8.
THE Japanese right wing, consist
ing of the twelfth division only, was
then thirteen miles east by north of
Liaoyang, calling for reinforcements.

coLFAx, GRANT PARISH La. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 22 1904


In an editorial In these columns
three weeks ago, we expressed the
view that because Gov. Blanchard
had taken an unwarranted part In
the affairs Of the city OF New Orleans.
1t would he well to express disappro-
bation OF his action by voting against
the constitutional amendments in
the NOvemberelectiO After mature
rejection over this question, we have
decided that such action would be
childish-biting your nose on to spite
your face, as 1t were.
We see no reason to change our
views that Gov. Blanchard's action
in the city matter was high-handed,
arbitrary and undemocratic. but
that is no reason for opposing meas
ures that we believe to lie for the best
interest Of the people. An editorial
opinion is, of course, the viewpoint
OF a single Individual. and only enti-
tied to weight and Importance as 1t
NAV stand the test Of reason and
common sense, but IN saying that
our people should vote for the amend
ments, we believe we express the die
tates of reason.
By the adoption of the school
amendment the people Of Grant par
ish will add So, 1881 to her school
fund. immediately available to build
