 While the roar of a mighty battle comes from every side, and the air is thick with flying missiles; while two great armies are locked in a death embrace that knows no quarter, a Japanese colonel sits cooly in a clump of pine trees near Mukden, di- recting an attack by his forces Every few minutes telephone bell at his feet rings and he reports to the commander of the Japanese army. Other officers, generals, eolonels and men of lesser rank are waging battle with the same marvellous system, slender wires covering the battle field so perfectly hat every division of the army is in accord. That is warefare up to date From the time the first paleozoic man hurled his stone hatehet until the present day the world has been learning how to fight. and none can deny that the struggle now going on in the far east is the art of shedding human blood at it's highest stage of de- velopment.
