Toxic, Oct. 5.--Reports have been.
received by the war Office to the effect
that the death struggle at Port Arthur
has been resumed. The Russians have
made several valiant attempts to re-

the losses on both sides number many
thousands. Several times during the
assault the troops came so near each

, yellow men and the white. When the
JAMS won that fight the great lesson
was taucht-that education, study,
training and patriotism will achleVe
lust as great results for yellow man
as for a white man.
The Japanese Valor is admirable. but
no greater than that of the S0udanese,
the Afridis, or the various other luz
zy-wuzzies" that the English have al
ways crumpled up. The difference IS
that the fuzzywuZZies did not piece
out their vaior With anything else.
They were not disciplined; they were
not educated; they were not forehand-
ed. They were only brave, and that
alone was not enough. Courage is the
foundation of a soldier, but something
must be added to a foundation to make
a satisfactory house.
While there are no great racial or
chronological lessons to Yentai, other
than those already taught by Liaoyong,
the battle has been laden with strateg-
zeal and historical Importance. Had
the Japs been whipped it is entirely
within reason that Port Arthur would
have been relieved. The Nipponese
would have come out Of the war de-
cidedly second best, even though their
mastery of the sea prevented Invasion
of their own territory.
When the news of Kuropatkin's de-
cisive defeat reaches Port Arthur, it
cannot fail seriously to impair the
morale of the city's defenders. Were
any other man but Stoessel in COM
mand of the town we might fairly eX
pecr it to be surrendered forthwith.
But even with Stoessel there it doesn't
seem as though the garrison can hold
out much longer. Stoessel will surpass
even the high estimate put upon him,

The great battle of last week took
place on a line between fifty-five and
sixty miles long. and the line of battle
proper, where the fighting was most
severe and continuous, was twenty
five or thirty miles long. The Hun
Nriver on the north and west and the
Taitse on the east and south mark out
the field in 4 general way. The Schili
river, frequently mentioned in the dis
patches, bisects this field on an east
and west line, and most of the fighting
thus far has been south of it. The bat
tie may possibly be known as the bat
tie of the Schili river.
Gen. Kuropatkin brought into play
every pound of military strength that
Russia has available in the far East.
Since the battle of Liaoyang he has
been REINFORCED by the First and Sixth
corps, and possibly also by the Fourth
Don Cossack division. A low estimate
of his strength is 100000 men. 1t may
be 100000. With all that he has been
gradually but surely beaten back, and
the chances are greater now than they
were at a corresponding stage of the
battle of Liaoyang that his army will
be partially dismembered. Then his
divisions were closely concentrated for
mutual support. Now they are much
more widely spread out.
On the last day of September CORE
spondents at Mukden made note of
great military activity, but their pre-
dictiOn Of movement southwark was
not credited. Oct. 2 Gen. Kuropatkin
issued his famous order for the adj
vance, though it was not till a week
later that Europe learned of it. In the
meantime the Russians had been en-
gagged in pushing in the Japanese out
posts. This preliminary stage of the
struggle eliminated with the driving
of the japanese outposts out of Bent
siaputZe.

country here is broken with small hills,
and there seems to have been a large
number of separate engagements on
Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednes-
day Kuroki received re-enforcements,
and Thursday he sent a strong force
under Prince Kanin to cut off the Rus
