Lao Yang. August 31.-A Russian
correspondent says:
The Japanese all a yesterday car
ried on the fight with an energy ap-
preaching desperation. but The Rus
slams We're buried up in their belief
that a point had been reached where
there would be no more ~retreating,
and the Japanese attacks were met
with shouts and hurrahs from the
trenches and the rifle pit.
Five times the Japanese hurled
themselves against the line. but each
time they were repuised at the point
of the bayonet.
There were about 1000 guns in ac-
ton on each side. but we have more
guns emplaced than have the Japa-
nese.
The losses cannot yet be computed,
but they have been great everywhere,
especially among the artillerymen.
For instance. in the first artillery bril-
gade, every officer was either killed OF
wounded and some of the guns were
silenced absolutely, owing to the death
Of all the gun crews. The spirits OF
the men are OF the highest at al
points.
