permit him to go to the front. and he
about six, miles. lie was, therefore, never
permitted TO see an engagement that nc
might describe for the publication he
represented an engagement from his own
point Of view.
Mr.. Fox went as far as Lao Yang, and

NagaSaki and Yokohama. The last night

by a Japanese officer who had graduated

to the front, he WIS released.

says, they are bound 10 win IN the end.
