KEPT UP BY EXCITEMENT.
Japanese Attacking Party Had Not
Known They Were Wounded.

Owing to the small caliber OF the
bullets used during the Russo-Japan-
ese war many soldiers did not know
that they had been struck by them
until the frenzy of an attack had
passed. During the battle Of Mukden
a company of Japanese infantry, OF
strength of 80 men, attacked a Rus
sian party holding the opposite bank
OF the river. The attack was carried
through with great spirit until the
Japanese arrived under the river
bank, when the Russians evacuated
the position, evidently believing that
their fire had been without any eff
feet. 1t was only then that 40 out OF
the 80 Japanese discovered that they
had been wounded during the adj
vance. The company commander only
made the same discovery in his own
case by seeing the water of the river
redden by his blood There was ap'
parent no physical effect of the
wounds SO long as the men had been
sustained by the fury and excitement
of the advance. But on seeing thai
thcy were wounded all. from the ON
Ger downward, experienced the mora
effect OF their injuries, and all at once
felt they could advance no farther

that the ancients used gold flaps or
