The japanese are still driving the
Russians from their strong positions.
and it is believed that in a short time
they will have no footing ut all in
Korea. The Gar seems to have had
some hope of removing the disgrace
on his army by gaining one victory,
but that hope can hardly berealized,
as his forces are becoming more dis
couraged each day, while the Japa-
nese are becoming more confident
and are all che time victorious.
Peace is what the Gar needs and he
must soon be convinced OF that fact.
