period, but records several desperate
attacks on the Russian position. The
Russian consul at Chofoo says the
Novo Krai relates only facts, but col
ors them with tho intention of inspir

emulation OF heroic deeds.
Following grand three days as
sault upon the defenses of Port Ar.
thur, tho Japanese rested during the
day time Of August 23. At II o'clock
that night they concentrated strong
force to attack Zardodoui fort, which
Is strong position on the Russian
right flank. The Japanese made cley.
er use Of the available cover, creeping
forward in Indian fashion for one
hour, in spite Of the Russian fire. Mid.
night found them properly formed
within striking distance Of the forti.
fications. They then made a powerful
rush, but were moved down in all
but one quarter. Here a body of Jap
ancse succeeded in entering the fort
over the dead bodies of their com
rades. but nearly all were bayonetted
inside the fort. The remainder re-
treated, losing heavily as they feel.
After repulsing the enemy the Rus

The Japanese searchlights showed
CHASTITY heaps Of dead, like magic Ian

The Japanese were soon reinforced
and recommended the attack furious

Thursdays news from the seat el
war closed with the receipt Oh TWO
dispatches, giving information OF a
most significant character as bearing
on the domination Of Manchuria at the
close of the present campaign.
The first came from the Associated
Press correspondent at st. PETERS
burg. filed there at 1916 p. M, ana
said that General Kuropatkin had
withdrawn his whole army to the
north bank cf the Taitse river, so DIS
to meet Genoral Kuro(l's thanking
movement The inference drawn from
this dispatch was that L!ao-Yang had
been evacuated, that city lying on the
left or south bank Of the river. Moth
inn to confirm this was received until
several hours later, when dispatch
from the Associated Press correspond
ent at st. Petersburg. datel Septem-
Der 2, and timed at 1926 a. m, Friday
morning. said that the news OF the
evacuation OF Liao-Yang and the with
drawal Of the Russia army to the right
bank OF the T0itso river had caused
intense excitement"
Late Thursday night the st. Peters
burg CORE pendent Of the Associated
Press obtained an opinion from the
war Office that the withdrawal to the
right bank OF the Taitse river became
necessary so that the Russians would
be able to repel blow in that direc
ton and that General Kuropatliin's
movement was the carrying out Of q
well-defned idea, rather than re-
treat. The same dispatch points out
without comment that the Japanese
took advantage Of General Kuropat-
kins withdrawal to occupy the city
Of Liao-Yang.
The second dispatch which may
have p significant bearing on the cam
pt|gn is that filed at Mukden at 9:27
D. m. Thursday, saying that the train
service between Mukden and Lao
Yang was Interrupted and it may
moan the cutting OF railroad commun-
iCation which would deprive General
Kuropatkin Of a. ready opportunity to

There was no appearance of colored
marks upon his arm, and the question

ever been tattOOed. NJ. Leroy applied
strong friction to the skin of the mans
