and thickly populated and the villages
are large and rich in foodstuffs.
1t is showing and bitterly cold, and
the troops eagerly seek the protection
of the villages which, in this district,
have escaped destruction.
On Jan. 26 there was a heavy fire
along the right flank front and an
advance was made. The wind at the
Russians back drove the snow into
the faces of the Japanese and it was
very difficult to see any distance. One
Siberian rife regiment suffered some
what heavy losses.
Jan. 27 the fighting continued on the
right flank but it does not seem to be
developing along the center or eastern
flank.
Probably the cold weather prevents
a further continuance of the battle.
There is more artillery on both sides
than in any former battle of history.
