Russian Headquarters, Huan Noun
tain, Feb. 2.-The five days combat
which will go down in history as the
battle Of Hun river, was fought out
on seemingly unending plain, which
is broken only by the southern Ame-
this mountains around Yentai. the soli-
Yang tower of bloody memory. The
bright glare of the sun reflected from
a dazzling expanse of snow was pain
full to the eyes, and it was with diff
ficulty that one could follow here and
there black streaks marking the Rus
sian columns or wavering sksr1nish
lines dashing against what resembled
dull gray rocks, but which in reality
were the villages of Lidfatoun and
Tanlepu and the extensive hamlet of
Sandepas Fashioned by Chinese de-
fenses and converted by the Japanese
into veritable fortresses, with wire en-
tanglements and earthworks.
Exposed to the intense cold of a
Manchurian winter the mounds of
earth had become like granite and as
impenetrable as the steel sides of a
modern battleship. For fi1e days Rus
sian soldiers hurled themselves against
the defenses and field artillery pounded
them until the frosty air reverberated
with the thunder of cannon, the din of
bursting shells, and the rattle of mus
kerry, but neither steel pointed shell
nor nickel bullet availed against the
frozen earthworks The gunners ac-
tually wept with despair at the i'm
potence of the attack. Mortar bat
teries came up at a gallop in the hope
of demolishing the Notifications. Night
and day the stream of shells was pour
ed against the earthworks, but it had
very little effect.
The men seemed Indifferent to hum
ger or cold, which latter was or Arctic
intensity. Their fingers hands and feet
were benumbed, while singing snow
and dust blinded them. The slightest
wound caused eXcruciating pain Warm
blood no sooner exuded from lacerated
flesh than it began to freeze. The
wounded could not be left exposed, and
if they did not receive attention within
an hour they died. The surgeons, their
assistants and nurses We're almost
powerless in the bandaging of wounds
for they were obliged to wear leather
gloves or mittens in order to resist the
cold. The men seemed to be living
again the horrors of the winter cam
paign of 1912 against the Turks. Ev-
erything that could be, was done, but
man was powerless in the face of ma
ture. which heaped tortures upon the
troops and defeated the we'll thought
out plan of the commander.

sixth member of the gang stood guard
over Jones and his son at the depot

threatening them with death il they
made an cutlery. The explosions nee
essary to break open the big safe were
heard by the men In the depot, and

as his father, and after working for

bers were breaking into the bank, but
she was too frightened to give the
alarm
