General Stoesse1
Not a Hero

The London Times correspondent at
PeEin, whoss has returned from a visit
at Port Arthur, describes the impress
sions he gathered there and says:
Without seeing them, nobody could
form any idea of the stupendous
strength of the forts or the Incredible
heroism displayed in the their capture.
No foreign officer is able to explain the
reason for the surrender of Port Ar
thur. Those who have seen the condi-
ton of the fortress believe that no
more discretitable surrender is recorded
in history. There were $4,000 able
bodied men capable of making sortie,
hundreds of officers, all we'll nourish-
ed, and plenty of ammunition, the
largest magazine being untouched and
full to the roof with all kinds of am
munition for naval guns. There was
further, APPLE food for three months,
even if no fresh supplies could be re-
ceived, and, beside, the waters are
teeming with fish. There was an
abundance of wine, and medical com.
forts, and large quantities of fuel OF
all kinds. The stroies that the Red
Cross buildings were wrecked by the
Japanese are admitted by reputable
residents to have been pure fabrica
lions to excite sympathy. All accounts
agree in condemning the majority o.
the officers, who feared the failure o.
comforts more than of ammunition
and agree that no man ever held {
responsible command who less deserved
