On tho opening day OF the Shaho
battle there were many deeds of hero
ism, writes the author Of "An Eyewit-
ness In Manchuria." One incident, he
says, brought out clearly the terrible
nature of the encounter. During the
Russian retreat general commanding
a division noticed an officer and some
forty men returning through the lines
It appeared as If it were a small party
which had been charged with some
outpost duty and had shown tho white
feather. Incensed at their apparent
cowardice, the general rode up to the
officer and asked him what he meant
by deserving his post. With some
what grim smile the officer. saluting,
said:
Sir, this is all that Is left OF my reg
iment."
That regiment had gone into action
over 1000 strong.
