tiers as Well as Shells.

That the Japanese soldiers besieging
Port Arthur sought from time 10 time TO
induce the Russians 30 surrender. in order
TO prevent much possible unneces-
sary sacrifice OF life and TO save tho Rus
slams from unnecessary privafions, Is
made plain by the following story told by
correspondent of the Osaka Asahi:
In the early part of October last the
Japanese occupied an outpost OF a Rus
sian fort on the northern slope OF tho East
kikwan mountain. Now that the oppos-
ing forces were brought very near TO
each other. the Japanese generals in
charge thought of hundred and one
plans to induce the individual Russian
soldiers to surrender. Finally they ar
rived at an ingenious device.
Miyagoshi Jusaku was q kussian-Japan-
csc Interpreter in the service OF the Jap
aneSe army. He could write In Russian
very nicely So he wrote the following
letter. which was fastened 10 an arrow
and was sent with the latter by skill

OF his arm in bending the bow:
