Bravery Astounds World.
Russia, with pride and admiration,
followed each move in the contest. The
whole world was astCunded at their gal
lantry. but daily their ranks were
thinned. their powers Of resistance d.
minished, and, under repeated attacks
by the enemy, they were obliged to give
way. Peace, honor and undying mem
ory will be the portion Of you Russians
who have fallen in defense of Port Ar
thur Far from home, you have laid
your bodies upon alien sofia sacrifice
to the dictates of your own honor and
the demands of your emperor. Peace
and honor be your portion. Always will
you be so held in our hearts and men,
ory.
Honor to the living. May God re-
store you to health and strength and
give you patience to face this disaster
with which you are confronted.
Strengthened by Adversely.
"My gallant troops and sailors, do
not let this sorrow dismay you. Our en-
emy is strong and daring. This fight
against them occurs 1000 miles from
oar home; but Russia is powerful. In
the thousand years of her existence
there have been still heavier trials,
worse and more threatening dangers,
but Russia ever arose from trial with re-
newed force and strength. Do not let
your souls be troubled by lack of success
and heavy losses. Russian strength
growth with adversely. With all Russia,
I join in the belief that the time Is COM
ing when God will give strength to our
glorious army and navy to arise and
break the forces of the enemy.
