able to hold the positions won until such

They are recalling to as the bitter truth
that American citizens have been ruth
lcssly slaughtered, their women raylshed
and their properties destroyed by an
armed rabblc in Mexico. and that the
truth has pcrcolatcd through 20 the masses
of Asia. The families Of the hundreds Of
peaceful Chinese also butchercd i'm cold
blood have carried the facts 30 China, and
along with this truth has also spread the
other story that these Mexican "barbari-
ans have not once dared 10 lay hand
ION any subject Of the Mikado. Only Chi
nese and Americans have been led to the
Slaughter and only their wives and daugh-
tiers have been made the playthings Of the
Mexican savages. The Oriental respects
force and bows down 20 superior might.
For the murder Of two missionaries they
were mulcted Of harbor and surrendered
their rights to a province. The Mexican
"barbarians" nave paid nothing. All the
explanations in the world will never make
the Oriental understand those motives Of
atrusm behind our self-restrant The
die is cast. Americans and Chinese are
now in a class together, and the Mkado
is the lord over both.
Our fcllow-countrymcn in China are
telling us these things. Already that

that. All hearts, all energies are fixed on

Good, very good said the chief, SIM

And the minutes undoubtedly seemed
longer to him than ever. The fusillade
cracked everywhere now, intermingled
with explosions Of bombs. Each army
was testing its power Of destruction, each
man was making sure Of his ECU. gnent

After long moment General Z,
not being able 70 contain himself further,

then very soon it didn't move at all. The
men have come back; two Of them arc
wounded. Sub-Lieutenant V has taken
command. He started at once from the
trench. He ought 70 be not very far from
the barbed wire now"
The hour set for the attack approached.
Was the ground cleared and free, as II
should be? Would the troops be able to
launch a decisive attack, with all their
ardor, all their will 70 advance, 70 conquer,
20 recover the soil-their soil?
The general was preparing TO telephone
70 the batteries, to ask that the action be
delayed moment, when he saw Sub
Lieutenant V appear, carried on tho
shoulders Of two soldiers, between whom
his body hung pitifully. The officer had
both knees broken. The general hurried to
meet him.
Where are you wounded" he asked.
But Sub-Lieutenant V, trying 10
assume a military attitude, answered sim
ply, with a firm voice and eyes illumined
with JOY:

but that each one Of them shall be man.
That is the more difficult, beyond doubt.
