DEFENDER OF THE FLAG
BATTLES WITH HIMSELF
Surgeons Wonder Whether Corporal
Blair Sought Entertainment or At
tempted to Commit Suicide.

Corporal Douglas Blair, Company F.
Twenty-eighth Infantry, shot himself
three times through his shoulders at
the Preside Tuesday afternoon. 1t is
not quite clear whether he wished to
mutilate himself or to commit suicide.
His condition is somewhat serious, al
though the army surgeons stated yes
terday that his wounds were not nee
essarliy fatal.
Blair used a 3S-caliber revolver for
his target practice. He was alone in
his quarters at the time of the shoot
ing. Two bullets were sent into his
left shoulder and one into his right.
The wounded man was Immediately
removed to the hospital and placed
upon the operating table. Two bullets
were located and extracted without
difficulty The third piece of lead
could not be found even with the use
Of the X-ray, but another attempt to
get ii will be made this morning
Blair refuses 20 satisfy the curiosity
of the hospital people as to why he
shot himself, but maintains a sphinx
like silence. Army officers have a
persuasive way with them, however,
and If the wounded soldier pulls
through all right he will undoubtedly
reconsider his determination not to ex-
plain. His comrades allege that he has
been drinking.

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1904-10-25

Russians killed in the battle south of
Mukden at 10000 Other reports from
the Japanese headquarters in the field
estimate the total number of killed
and wounded Oh both sides at 10000,
but this is considered too low.
The railway yards at Mukden are
congested with the trains bearing the
wounded from the battle field to the
hospitals at Hardin, and it would not
be surprising if Kuropatkin had lost
nearly one-fifth of his army in killed
and wounded Complete figures are
lacking on the Japanese losses, but
they will be large, although smaller
than those of Russia.
The extent of the slaughter has
shocked both Japan and Russia. In
Toxic the appalling tragedy is consid-
cred to be a strong appeal for peace.
The japanese, usually quick to cele-
brate victory for their arms, are re-
ceiving the news in a subdued spirit,
although it contains the report of
sweeping success for Oyama's forces.
A member of the diplomatic corps
makes a strong argument in favor of
an adjustment of the conflict
In Russia the defeat of Kuropat-
kin's armies is making the war more
unpopular than ever, and fears are ex-
pressed openly that Japan's success
will cause China to abandon her neu-
trality and come out openly in favor
of the japanese.

Danieloff receiving his wounds in that
engagement Gen. Nodzu took the Of
fensive that same day and began to
force the Russians back The saGs
gle was extremely fierce here evely
day, and probably the great pssst cf the
losses are in this region.
Farther to the eaf Gen kiroli met
the main force OF the attack at his
chosen positions near Benishu. The
Russians attempted to outfiank him.
however, or at least made a feint of
that nature. by sending several thou
sand men across the Taitse farther
north to work around to the Japanese
rear. Gen Kuroki seemed to expect
to bag this expedition bodily. but if he
did it no report has yet arrived. The
country here is broken with small hills,
and there seems to have been a large
pumher of separate engagements on
Tuesday aud Wednesday. On Wednes-
day Kuroki received re-enforcements,
and Thursday he sent a strong force
under Prince IZanin to cut off the Rus
slams north of Bensihu This force
formed a wedge between the Russian

sitions of the hostile armies at differ
ent stages of the battle. The jagged
triangle including Yentai, Liaoyang
and Sykwantun marks the heart of
Oyama's position, the three points be-
ing heavily fortified and garrisoned.
North of his triangle Oyama had adj
vanced heavy line of outposts at the
position indicated by the line of Oct S.
But he was not north of Yentai in
great force.
The Russian advance from Mukden
began on Oct. s. Two days later it
came in contact with the japanese
outposts. In two days fighting the
Japanese scouts were forced hack to-
ward their main positions. At the same
time re-enforcements were sent for
ward from the triangle. The retreat
ing outposts and re-enforcements met
at the line marked "Oet. TO-" On the
following day the heavy fighting be-
gan.
We can most easily get an idea of
the fighting by considering the Kuroki
Nodzu and 0ku armies separately. Ku-
roki has the right, occupying the re-
gion at the bend of the Taitse. where
that river turns from southerly to a
westerly course. Nodzu is in the cen
ter, holding the region from the Yen
tai station on the railroad Oku is
west Of the railroad, holding both sides
Of the Hun river.

crossed the Hun river Were it flows
easterly just south of Mukden His
advance guards on the same day cross
ed the Schili and attacked Yentai. bat
We're driven back in the evening. Tues
day a larger force crossed the Schili.
