CLEAR STATEMENT OF
SITUATION ON YALU

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2S.-Disappoint-
ment prevails at st. Petersburg that no
official dispatches giving details of the op-
erations on the Yalu river have been made
public. The press dispatches are so meager
as to becloud rather than enlghten the peo-
pie, who are hourly awaiting news
The Associated Press has obtained from
the general staff the following clear state
ment of the situation: Before beginning
the passage of the Yalu river the japanese
evidently completed the. concentration of
the armies along the river commanded by
Generals Kuroki and Oku. Each army is
composed of three divisions and three re-
serve brisades- The total force is 10000.
The Russians the Manchurian bank OF
the river are inferior in strength. Having
perfected the essential preparations, the
japanese, without waste OF time, COM
menced the passage of the river, and the
RUSSIANS realized that IL would be impoS-
sible to prevent their crossing. The Jap
anese front extended from Wiju as far as
Pick-Tong, over eighty miles. We faced
score of places, and all could hope for
was TO harass and impede the crossing for
every day gained enabled us TO push our
preparations and bring up more men,"
There are only two instances in history
where an army was unable to cross a
river-that of Napoleon at Aspern and that
of Prince Eugene of Savoy at Loeb. Both
failed because of floods. The Yalu proved
no exception TO the established rule. We
know that the Japanese crossed at at least
two points. Their first attempt 10 force
a passage near Chand-C Che-kow, twenty
miles above Wiju. near Siaopoussikhe. on
the Poussikho, a tributary of the Yalu. was
successful. This is important because
road leads from Siaopoussikhe northeast TO
Kwan-Tiou. which commands one of the
roads to Mukden.
1T is evident that the japanese devoted
most of their attention to crossing near
Wiju. The river here is divided into sew
eral channels by islands. the largest of
which is Samalindo. Above and below
Wiju the nver was bridged at three points.
Up the stream near SindiagOu the Japanese
were watched by a small detachment of
cossacks, but the enemy was practically
unopposed. At Tureachen. lower down, our
outposts directed a fire from a field piece
so successfully that they destroyed the
moorings and wrecked the pontoons. The
enemy was thrown into disorder and suf-
fered considerable loss Still further down
the stream the japanese proceeded TO make
a third attempt at crossing
I'VE do not think the Japanese will at
tempt TO land at TakuShan or Tatung-Kau
now that they have crossed the Yalu. The
object of such landings has been to cause
a diversion so as to enable the japanese to
cross the river. Takushan is not a good
strategic point. The road leading there

REPULSE OF JAPANESE
ON THE YALU RIVER

LIAO-YANG. April H.-The Japanese
troops which crossed the Yalu north of
Tchangdjiou charged during the night of
April 1927, the Russian position near Liza
vena, a village on the Ma alchurian bank of
the Yalu. They were repulsed, but their
loss is not known.
Two gunboats steamed up the river to
the support of the Japanese, when a Rus
sian field battery at Amisan opened fire
on them, resulting in a duel which lasted
for twenty minutes The Russian fire was
too hot. and the gunboats were forced to
turn and steam out of range.
The japanese were facilitated in crossing
by their occupation of the island of Sam
ainda.

A SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN.
Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went
Out Purchaser Thought Him

The late Thomas Bracket Reed used to
relate the following incident, which hap
pened one summer while he was spending
a few days in q small fishing village on the
New England coast, says the New York
Times.
A young eountryman who had been ad-
vised to take sea baths registered at the
village hotel one evening, and shortly after
ward sauntered down to the beach. Espy-
ing a grizzled old fisherman mending his
nets beneath a sign which informed one
that B had boats and tackle to let and

also. On receiving an affirmative reply
the countryanan returned to the hotel, OBJ
tanned a couple of buckets, and having paid
the price asked, filed them and returned
to his. room to carry out the doctors IN
structions.
On the following morning ne happened
down at the beach when the tide was
out, and after contemplating the broad re-
ceding beaches for some minutes, ap-
preached his acquaintance of the evening
before and remarked in a tone Of admira-
ton: Gosh! but you must have done
some business last night.
