W hats the use of 'ating those YOU are

II Is different. The war is closer to
their native soil and they regard the
Japanese as their natural enemies. For
THIS reason the only animosity that has
been displayed toward the Japanese
wounded has been in those hospitals
where there were a majority of Siber-
ians. The Sisters of Mercy on the 9TH

TALLY for japanese patients, and there
has been some jealousy aroused among
the Siberians, who thought the Japan
csc were getting the best Of it, at the
hands of the nurses.
Most of the japanese wounded have
therefore, been placed in the hospitals
with Russian soldiers The Finlanders
almost alone of the Europeans take
interest in the policies of the fighting,
but they make none the worse soldiers

'One of the most inexplicable things
TO the Russian soldier is the habit of
the Japanese to commit suicide when
endangered with defeat. There are so
many eye7wftnesses' reports of this
nature that il is impossible TO disered-

ly seem to make a practice of saving
their last cartridge for themselves. A
Russian under the circumstances would
rather go down fighting, leaving his
enemies TO do the killing If he thought
there was nothing to be gained by hold

japanese batteries were captured one
officer shot himself across his gun. An
other drew his sword and fenced at
the empty air until he was shot. Dur
ing the same fight two villages occu-
pied by the japanese were surrounded
and burned. Numbers of the Japan
csc remained quietly in the huts and
were burned 10 death. A Russian officer
hauled two japanese prisoners out of
a blazing hut but one slipped back and

MERELY SCOUTING.
japanese Vessels Not Expected Il
Fight the Russians.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-The announce
mcnt that four japanese cruisers and
twelve torpedo boats are proceeding west
from Singapor is received here with
much interest II is not believed how
ever. that such a small squadron can
have been sent out by Japan with any
idea of engaging in offensive operations,
but ii is regarded as more probable that
il is the purpose of this squadron to keep
a surveillance over the two detachments
of the Russian fleet, which are expected
to soon unite IN the neighborhood of Ma
ddgascar. 1t is generally believed that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky intends TO es-
tablish a naval coaling base on some small
island between Madagascar and the Phil
ippines. and that the Japanese cruising
squadron is to mark the rendezvous for
Vice Admiral Togo's information. The
belief is expressed that Admiral ROjest-
Vensky will be able TO catch up with the
Japanese scouts, who, il is believed, he
could easily destroy thereby weakening
the Japanese in the final naval engage
ment.
