Suddenly a telephone bell rings In the
Japanese advanced trouch-the advanced
trenches were always connected by tele-
phone TO the divisional commander. and
from there to the commander in-chict and
the general commanding the artllery-and
at the same time the artilley fire ceases.
The men In the trench are up In min
ute, and are sCrambuug over the sand bag
wall in front OF their trench. They rush
In confused mass at the enemys trench.
a short thirty yards up the hillside. The
Russian fire rcdoubles in its fury and
numbers OF the attackers fall mortslly
wounded or killed
Eventually a small proportion Of the
men who left their trench have reached
the Russian line. The bearded Siberians
stand up to receive their enemy with the
bayonet and the conflict resolves itself
into a series Of hand-to-hand encounters
all along the line, The rifle-f fire has prac-
tically died away, and hand-grenades and
bayonets are at work. The treuch-line
is "a struggling malestrom of figures. and
the once bright bayonets are dyed a deep
red.
land grenades are thrown into
crowded trenches and burst with fiendlsh
results. Quarter is neither asked for nor
given, and the sole idea OF each soldier
is to kill as many Of his opponents as
possible before being killed himself.
Wounded men scream in their agony, but
there Is no one here to help them. Men
are using the butts Of their rifles to dash
eacn others brains out; men seize each
other by the throat, and become In
furiated animals as they fight with the
weapons which nature has given them.
This is the sort Of thing that used to
occur every day until the hill was finally
captured by the Japanese. Sometimes the
Russians would be driven out Of their
trench; shortly afterward however, a
counter-attack would be delivered, and
the japanese would be driven pell-meu
down the hill and back to cover Of their
own trench To AM fro, they fought.
day after day and time after time, and
on each occasion the ground between the
trenches would be freshly piled with dead
and dying
10 help the wounded men was out Of
the question; and happy was the wounded
man whose sufferngs were put a stop
to by merciful rifle bullet, and who did
not have TO die by slow degrees
No wonder, then, what ones feelings
are when one looks at the scene OF all
this fighting. The ground is stil dotted
with the yellow splashes caused by the
bursters OF the shells; shell-craters
abound everywhere. and shell-splinters
are scattered over the hillside as II from
a gigantic pepper castor Every bowlder
is splashed with bullets. The trenches
themselves, for the most part, have been
led in, but human remains are stilI
plentiful and the slope is stll dotted
with remains OF accouterments and fraE-
ments Of uniform.
One could write a long account OF the
horrors OF modern war, but the fighting
which took place at 2O3 Meter Hill stands
alone for its awful ferocity. The Japa-
nese, although a young nation compared
with ourselves, are excellent examples
for us to follow and II we have an army
of the same bravery and morals as theirs
we cannot go far wrong.-Chambers'
