Details of the thrilling battle in
which the Japanese, in hand to hand
co. flict, stormed the heights and drove
the Russians back toward Port Arthur.
Combination of luck and courage gain
ed the day.
Russian war experts figure that the
Japanese will attempt to take Port
Arthur as soon as they can get their
men in position. A siege would not
be conducive to Japanese success, the
Russians believe.
In Toxic reports of the great battle
it is stated that large number of
heavy artillery and machine guns fell
into the hands of the Japs.
Tuesday War News.
1t is reported from Toxic that the at
tack on Port Arthur will be made by
June 10, and that the Japanese expect
to reduce the place by June 30.
The czar is said to be dissatisfied
with kuropatkin and would recall both
him and Alexietf but for the effect up
on the public.
. The better class of Russians are said
to be in favor of making peace, should
Port Arthur fail.
A Cossack detachment is defeated to
the northwest of the Yalu.
Wednesdays War News.
For ofur days the Japanese and Rus
SLAMS have been fighting north of Feng-
wancheng. The Russians claim to
have inflicted severe losses on the Jap
anese, but both armies probably suf-
fered. This fighting is interpreted to
mean that the japanese have a large
force in readiness to hurl at General
Kuropatkin's armies at the proper mo-
ment.
The japanese, who are now in COM
plete possession of Dalny, report that
only the great dock has been destroyed.
They find many warehouses and other
valuable buildings standing.

WOOD COUNTY REPUBLICANS.

Now that the campaign OF 1914 has
closed and the Republican party has
been victorious, 1t may not be I'M
proper to make known to the general
public that the editor of the JOURNAL
is a candidate for the Office of Clerk
of Wood county, subject to the de-

This is but the fulfillment of a
statement made six years ago at the
time of the nomination of the present
County Clerk.
We have endeavored at all times
to so shape our political course and
action that we might be considered
worthy of the support of the Repub-
licans at home in Perrysburg town
ship as well as in all parts of the
county, and we therefore respectfully
ask the support of solid delegation
of Perrysburg Republicans and the
nomination by the delegates in the
County convention.

The most sincere sympathy of the
newspaper friends and all his ac-
quaintances is due to Editor Huls of
Cygnet Review. He came to this
county stranger few months ago
and had scarcely become acquainted
with his surroundings when his news
paper Office was destroyed by fire.
During the weeks of hard work and
worry that followed he was worn out
and had scarcely established him
self when he was taken sick and the
work of getting out the paper fell up
on his wife who has proven a noble
help to him. The people of Cygnet
have shown the nobility of their char
acter by giving every possible as
sistance to the struggling editor and
it is pleasure to know that he is
slowly but surely coming out of his
big bunch of trouble. 1t takes {
brave heart and strong arm to carry
a country paper through all its trou
bles at times and we are pleased tc
observe that brother Huls has all the
mental, physical and moral strength
necessary to carry him through.
