BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE deep courage
Of the individual Japanese soldier was
never better illustrated than in the fol-
lowing story from Odessa of Cossaclx
named Uriadtseff.
Near Taschichao we pursued Jap
infantryman into Chinese house,
where he rushed up loose stair or
ladderway leading to loft. and began
to shoot. We had no ammunition, SO
thought we would burn him out, when
down went one of our men with a
bullet through his back. This made US
mad and we rushed up the stair.
There was room only for one at time
and Misha Medvedtser rushed first
The Jap waited till Misha was on him,
and then fired right through his body,
wounding the man behind. The rush
from behind drove Nisha's dead body
on top Of him. and the third man, TAX
ing advantage of this, hacked at the
Jap, cutting his cheek. Yellow Face
yelled, and fired again, killing our third
man. Now it was my time. and
though knew was done for, felt no
fear, but only thirst to cut down the
Jap, who laughed at every shot. How
ever. wasn't going to give myself
away, 80 instead of rushing on stuck
my lance. The Jap drove it down with
his rifle muzzle. but it went through
him keen. He yelled AMI shot at me.
and tumbled down, and remembered
no more. There were three blood
thirsty demons behind, and Master Jap
wasn't safe yet. / heard afterwards
how he rushed at one man who hesi-
tated to 80 on. pulled him over the
bodies, and struck him with knife.
The other two men were knocked down
by shots. When more OF our men came
up. they fired the house. after pulling
me and the other wounded out. The
Jap. seeing he was done for. put his
head through window and laughed
Then he jumped. and was caught on q

There are sometimes occasions, says

obtained from our go-ahead cousins OF

the matter Of rapid work to our old

Russia and Japan have for some

and as they were being supplied to
other great military powers of Europe
il was deemed advisable by the wal
office to place itself on level terms with
these countries. The authorities. how
