The Russian troops are said to be
anxious to attack the japanese. Per-
haps their anxiety will not be so great
afterwards. Or their anxiety might con-
centrate upon getting back safe into
Port Arthur. The Russian sailor does
not seem nearly so anxious to attack
the Japs. He has had many opportuni-
ties, but he has never come out into the
open sea. 1t must be gall and worm
wood to the Russians to know that
transports by the score are carrying
more and more troops to Korea, per-
fectly unmolested, while there are some
forty vessels Of all classes shut up in
Port Arthur.
