Mukden, Dec 9.-Numerous Japanese
prisoners are being brought in as re.
suit Of constant night sort ties. The ST.
berians especially delight in this sort of
work, and seem to regard the stalking
and capturing Of pickets and sentries
as exhilerating sport.
Some Of the prisoners declare that the
prevailing inactivity is having greatly
depressing influence upon the masses of
Japanese troops. Others Of the captives
refuse to answer questions. The Jap:

Why is Korea of strategic value to

Fol two reasons. First, because ves-

Korea to pass from Vladivostock, ST.
IBERIA, to Port Arthur, the Russian har-
Dor in Manchuria. In this journey
they must traverse a narrow strait
between Korea and a Japanese island,
comparable to Gibraltar. To insure
free passage, Russia seeks to control
the end of the Korean peninsula. Sec
