the thoughtless ones that insist on

not nice to recall memories Of your
dear friends calling for aid or seeing
them blown to pieces right by your

ting delirious at a time when you
could not help them and seeing the
dead nice. fine. brave lads who had
given their all that you folks might

one tells you that soldiers do not re-

Japan, naturally alarmed, demanded
that Russia evacuate Manchuria, and
Russia repeatedly promised to do so,
but neve fulfilled her promises. Japan
saw a great European power confront
ing her In a threatening attitude; per-
haps threatening her very existence
as an independent nation. On Febru-
airy of 1904 she severed diplomatic re-
latiOns with Russia and two days later
Admiral Togo made a torpedo attack
upon the Russian fleet lying at Port
Arthur, followed by a fleet attack the
following day. BY these two attacks
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur was
practically put out of commission. On
the day of the last attack a japanese
fleet defeated the Russian squadron
lying off Chemulpo.
Japan Declared War.
The next day Japan formally de-
clared war.
The subsequent events of the war
were the bombardment of Vladivostok
March 6; bOmbardment of Port Arthur
March y occupation Of VIII Mt the
mouth of the Yalu river April 6, and
the passage of the river and the defeat
of the Russian army opposing on May 1.
The japanese army was now In Man.
churia and another japanese army &C.
cupied Korea. The japanese navy
utterly destroyed Russia's sea power
in the Pacific and the Japanese army,
after a series of victories, laid siege to
Port Arthur. Another japanese army
drove the Russians nOrthward In Man
churia and administered a crushing
defeat at Mukden.
The Russian transportation and sup
ply CORPS utterly broke down and be-
came useless grand dukes at the Man
churian headquarters reveled in car
loads of cOurtesans and champagne
while the soldiers needed food and
clothing, and there was an orgy of
official graft.
Port Arthur made a valiant defense
but surrendered on January l, 1905.
