Headquarters of the Japanese Third
Army, Before Port Arthur.-Since the
general assault of Nov. 1921 against
the forts Rihlung and Kekwan noun
tains. resulting in furious fighting and
great loss OF life and described at
length by the Associated Press CORE
spondent in a dispatch filed Novem-
Der 2S), the Japanese have been en-
gagged in tunneling under the north
fort of Kekwan mountain. Two main
tunnels ran under the north wall Of
the fort from the moat for a distance
of 40 feet and there were four short
branch tunnels. On the morning of
December IS seven dynamite mines
were laid, the object of which was to
destroy the north wall and so give the
Japanese access to the fort. The fort
had so long resisted the assaults of
the Japs that it was considered that
the explosion of the mines and the
subsequent attacks should be carefully
planned.
General Samejima, commanding the
left division, asked for volunteers who
would be prepared to capture the fort
or to die in the attempt. Two entire
battalions answered the generals call,
one from the left division and the
other from the general reserves. The
first battalion remained in the capon
iere galleries during the explosion of
the mines, while the second battalion
was in a parallel close to the wall OF
the counterscarp.
In order that the dark blue uniforms
of the men might not show against
the brown of the soil which would
be turned by the explosion, all the at
tackers wore brown wooden under
drawers over their trousers and brown
sweaters over their tunics. Instead
of cap each man wore a brown wool
en- headpiece which extended to the
shoulders, leaving only the face visi

Carried Rifles and Dynamite.

Every man carried a rife in his
right hand and dynamite grenades in
his left, while a lighted slow match
was attached to his cartridge belt
with which to ignite the fuses of the
grenades. In this peculiar garb with
the lighted matches at their waists,
the troops presented a strange appear
ance. The soldiers from the battalion
in the caponiere galleries, who were
distinguished by white badges on their
arms. were ordered to attack i'm
medlately after the explosion of the
mines, and those of the second bat
talon in the parallel, who were dis
tinguished by red badges on their
arms, were to make the second as

the wall and ordered them to gain the
lower level of the interior of the fort
by twos and threes and to find cover
in the holes which had been made in
the surface by the Japanese shells.
In the whole center of the fort great
holes had been torn by the gun fire
directed from the rear of the fort In
these holes $50 of the attackers had
found cover by o'clock in the even
ing. Advancing carefully. the Japan
csc approached the Russian defenses
in the rear of the fort and by working
from hole to hole under cover of the
darkness the entire battalion gained
the interior of the fort despite the des-
perate resistance of the Russians.
The first charge made against the
wall of sandbags proved unsuccessful,
but charge followed charge until mid
night when the last corner of the Rus
sion defenses was captured.
The fighting was desperate in the
extreme. with bayonets and dynamite
hand grenades and the entire garrison
was killed with the exception of a
party of 20 who escaped through the
covered wall which they destroyed be
hind by exploding four mines and thus
preventing the Japanese from pursuing
them.
Garrison Died Fighting.
Though the numbers engaged and
the numbers of fighting men were
small the assault and defense were
more furious than any in the previous
history of the siege of Port Arthur.
With the exceptions noted the garri-
son died fighting to the last man with
wonderful determination.
The final rushes of the Japanese
were irresistible. Their wounded re-
fused to retire and insisted on con-
tinuing the fighting, saying that they
had vowed to take the fort and that
they must proceed.
Four field guns and three machine
guns were captured and over 800 Rus
SLAMS were killed.
The skilful manner in which the
second assault was executed prevented
heavy losses and insured the capture
of the fort, which, though not the
largest, is one of the strongest of the
eastern fortified ridges. The fort is
important to the Japanese as it opens
a way up the gorge between it and
the eastern part of Kekwan mountain
and is the easiest point at which tC

by the Russians was due to the fac

General Samejima personally con-
Quoted these assaults at O'Clock on
the afternoon of December 10 after the
explosions had taken place. The first
mine exploded without warning and
the explosion was not entirely sue
cessful, owing to the heavy concrete
about the mine. The explosion of the
second mine followed Immediately and
this was succeeded by five smaller ex-
plosions The sight was wonderful in
the extreme. Huge clouds of brown
earth and debris were thrown 200 feet
in the air and it looked as if the whole
fort had been thrown heavenward
When the clouds of earth had set
tied down the snow for some 500 yards
around the fort was covered with
brown earth, pieces of timber and
blocks of concrete.

Japs Swarm Through.

The explosions made two large
breaches in the north wall of the fort,
through which the Japanese in the
moat, swarmed. They charged so
quickly that so of them were either
killed or wounded by the falling de-
bris. The Japanese succeeded in gain
ing the ramparts and charged the in
terror of the fort, but they were re-
pulsed by a portion of the garrison
from behind a wall at the rear of the
fort which had not been touched by
the force of the explosion. Behind this
wall there were four field guns and
three machine guns. In the meantime,
the Russians had rushed reinforce
ments of some 300 to the fort through
the covered wall at the rear. The sec
ond battalion of attackers were not
able to advance Immediately, as the
sapping trenches from the parallel to
the most were filled with debris. When
this debris was removed the battalion
reached the ramparts through the
breaches that had been made by the
explosions

chairman of the National Prohibition
Committee, said to-day: Gen. Miles

by the Prohibitionists at Indianapolis
June 20 if he were known to be identi-
fled with the Prohibition party. His
record in opposition to the army can
teen is one of which Prohibitionists are
proud. They confess to great admi-
ration for him. If he were to state
publicly that in the coming campaign
as patriotic citizen he would affiliate
with the Prohibition party and support
its ticket, my judgment is that there
would be no other name proposed in
the national convention.
"Since Gen. Miles is not with us to
the extent of at least being willing to
make an open public statement to that
effect it has become the settled con-
viction of most thoughtful Prohibition
lists that we must look elsewhere for
our candidate"
