TO TAKE PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Will Sacrifice 700 Men

London, Feb. 17.-All the energies
of Japan's war directors are now bent
on gigantic movement OF troops,
which will soon bring about a decis.

Car in Manchuria, and, they hope,
the capture Of Port Arthur, thus cut

Every dispatch, official and IIncfl.

to corroborate this view The navy
has done its work, it is now held in
Toxic, and done it thoroughly, and
the capture of Pert Arthur or the
routing Of the Russians massed along
the north bank of the Yalu river, or
both, is what will be attempted next.
Three hundred thousand troops are
destined for southern Manchuria.
Many will reach there by landing at
Chemulpo, Fusan, and other Corean
ports, and marching northward, while
many others will be taken to the very

The supreme wish of the Japanese
now is the capture cf the stronghold
at Port Arthur and the destruction of
the Manchurian railroad in as many
places as possible These two things
accomplished. japan believes the war
would practically be over But be

even q chance to gain Port Arthur
A loss of 10000 soldiers more or less
would amount to nothing in view of
the great advantage which would ac-
crue from the occupation of that for
tress.
Already Japan has made strenuous
efforts to throw thousands of men In
to southern ManchurIa, within less
than 100 miles Of Port Arthur Two
of these attempts have failed, one
with large loss of life, but no dim
mutton of the effort has been shown.
Already, according to dispatches ie-
ceived today from semi-off1cial sources
10000 have been landed from trans
ports under the protection of guns
from the warships, and are ready to
join troops which may be landed att
other points on the peninsula of Lao
Tung, at the southern end of whicn is
Port Arthur
The Russians are in a b. posi-
tion. With hundreds of miles of
coast to guard to prevent the landing
of troops, with an attack on Port Ar
thur expected, and the Manchurian
border along the Yalu to protect, it
is necessary to spread their forces
over a wide territory. This makes it
| all the easier for Japanese force to
be landed, say war experts, and they
| consider it wonderful that such stub
born resistance has already been
met.

week. On that occasion class spirit
ran high and the freshman girls waved
some new banners, artiscially made up
out of the class colors; likewise the

the freshman battlefags disappeared. A
vigorous search was instituted and the
missing standards were drawn forth
from their hiding places. Then a raid
was made on the sophomores The end
