FROM THE SCENE OF WAR.
Topeka Missionary Writes From
Pyeng Yang.

A letter from w. n. Blair a Presby-
terrain missionary in Korea, to Kansas
friends throws considerable light on the
personality of the Japs and Russians as
they are viewed by an outsider on the
ground of the conflict. Mrs. Blair, who
is with her husband, is a daughter of
Rev. E. w. Allen, who lives in Auburn
dale. Mr.. and Mrs. Blair have been at
Ping Yang, wf4eh was in the midst of
the first hostilities between the oppos-
ing forces. Mr.. Blair's letter was writ
ten from An Ju, near Ping Yang, on
May 13, Just after the first skirmish
there. In the letter he says:
II am having somewhat of an exper-
Yang last Tuesday everything seemed
settled and quiet in Korea. Imagine my
surprise when approaching An Ju to
learn that a company of Russian horse
men had suddenly descended from no
where and fought a six-hour battle with.
Japs at An Ju on the day before.
81 suppose the proper thing for me to
have done would have been to return to
Pyeng Yang and finish my trip later,
but I had for some time been trying to
purchase a house site here, so I push
ed on, reaching An Ju about p. m.
The gates were all shut and guarded so
we had to make our way to a break in
the wall and climb over, which was
somewhat difficult in the dark, espe-
cially with a heavily loaded pack pony.
This is my second day here and guess
of the week.
Have already succeeded in buying
the larger part of a site on which I
think we will some day build. 1t is
a beautiful place, high enough up to
look over the city away out to the river
and sea beyond. There are a number
of good springs on the place, two back
and at least % feet higher and close
by the spot I have selected for my
house. I think you. can guess what
good use such a spring could be put
to.
II have written a full account of the
An Ju battle for the Tidings from Affair,
and will only give you the outlines. The
Japs, not more than forty in number,
with some Koreans help, held the city
against from $50 to 200 Russians all |
day Tuesday. The fighting was con- |
tinued for at least six hours. The Rus |
slams scaled a nigh wall east of the |
city and fired down on the JapS. In the /
afternoon the Japs reinforcements ar |
rived and the Russians retreated to |
the east. No one knows how many |
Russians there may be east of us. but |
the laps are rushing in soldiers and I |
think they will soon control the situa- |
ton I have been taken for a Russian |
several times but my Jap passport |
usually satisfies them. Last night 1 /
was taking a walk and crowd of |
Jap coolies met me and not being able |
to read my pass got dreadfully ex-
cited and demanded that I go with /
them to the general which I was per- |
fectly willing to do, as wanted to meet
