Why the Russian should have abandoned the best defen sive position between the Yalu and Llao Vang- without a right and Boon afterward make to costly and un . successful efforts to regain It. remains it , yet o mystery. Two days before this attack tne Jupunege knew throuffh their remarkable Intelliirence aervlc that It was plunned. They foresaw largely how tt would be executed, though probably they did not anticl pate how stubbornly the Russians, fired with ambition to maintain the nrestlae of Euronean trootia and in spired by the name of Skobeleff linked with the memories of Bchluka Pass, would storm the atrenghold. It wiw Skobeleff'a flghting and Skobeleff i men against the men and the methods of a quarter century later. On the morning of the 17th several of the correspondents who were camped at the division general's headquarters some miles from the pass were awakened at daylight by the sound ol distant volleys. A thick, white fog covered the hills, like a London fog in December, so dense that tents could not be seen a hundred yards away. The ground was muddy and trees dripped us though, there had been a heavy rain. The correspon dents were soon In their saddles, but word came from the press censor that thev were not to ao until given per mission. Within on hour most of the military attaches and newspaper men had gathered In front of headquarter? fretting to be unlushed. Delegate from each rump were laboring with the staff officers. Word came from within that the general was acquies cent, but part of the staff unwilling. We were to "wait a little," a phrase become familiar during two months ol waiting In Tokio. Later the general might go and perhaps the correspon dents could accompany him. MACHINERY BEHIND THE STAGE The waiting was protracted until o'clock and meantime could be seen the machinery of battle behind the stage. Several Infantry battalions came up the road at a dog trot, the men's khaki tunics plastered to their backs with sweat, while they mopped their faces with towels presented by the patriotic societies of Japan, bear. ing blue prints of the Mikado's soldiers storming impossible blue precipices in the face of gigantic blue-bearded kus elans. Most of the men looked as eager for their work as a football team racing onto the Meld. There were no . shirkers, although some followed thf rear of their companies panting pain fully under the llfty pounds weight of equipment which they all carry. A hospital company'' marched past, with the stretchers roped to the backs of horses, and some of the Red Cross men shouldered wooden crutches to help soldiers with leg wounds from the Held. Trains of the small black japa nese stallions passed, bearing ammu nition boxes and trenching spades, which are also utilized for burying the dead. Ammunition caissons with lath ering six-horse teams rumbled over the road, and two or three fluid bat terles in reserve appeared and un harnessed on the square, where the marks of Russian tents remained, to await possible orders for the front. A company of engineers, shouldering bamboo poles and coils of copper wire, began to stretch a new telephone line, which extended across the fields, as fast as the colls could be unwound, Probably no other army has as light and durable material for many uses as the Japanese find In their bamboo. Occasionally an of fleer, wearing the sold and white sash of the staff, gal loped in from the direction of the firing. But there was no confusion nor disorder, nnrl seemingly little hurry. Every officer and man and every organization knew Its business and proceeded about It wunoui excite ment or fuss. The whole machine operated with the same smoothness that it has exhibited from the day the mobilization began in Tokio. The sounds of battle were increasing at 7 o'clock and the expectant wit nesses became impatient. The guns began booming about that time and the explosion of a shell was heard every two or three minutes, while the unremitting rattle of rifle fire became ..... louder, punctuated by frequent vol leys, and every one Jew that the volleys came from Russian rifles and that the Japanese were firing at will in accordance with their usual tactics. Some fancied that the work was eom- ins; closer. It certainly sounded nearer than on the morning of the Fourth, and the listeners began to speculate whether the Russians had carried the pass. The Chinese were getting fright ened and parties of women and chil dren went skurrylng up the hill roads with bundles of valuables. CORRESPONDENTS TO THE FRONT. 'About 9 o'clock the telephone bell in th staff office grave a long, dharp ring and an officer emerged to announce that all might start. Word had come . ' that the Russians were running. Cor respondents and officers were off at full speed, the tavalcade with - the . various uniforms of different nation alities making an', unusual group. The .tall German captain towered above all others, wearing , cap of the same color and pattern as a Russian of ficer's, which suggested the realiza tion of the Japanese fear that foreign era on the battle field might be shot by their own troops. Just at the foot of the high hill where begins the steep ascent of. the pass, came a squad of wounded soldier" going to the base hospital. Some had their arms in Wings, others were bandaged across N. ielr faces. - Most of them were very Hale from loss of blood and heat, but 'all smiled and saluted. A long pro cession of wounded descended the hill. Part were carried on stretchers, with their guns and '-X equipments beside ' them, for nothing1 la wasted or lost the soldiers go into fight they leave ' no trail, of discarded blankets and haversacks. AH v the wounded were quiet and stoical, as usual. One boy, shot through both arms, was walking, and as he could not salute, he stopped and bowed low to each -foreign officer. - Emerging from the pass and riding ' i down a stretch of tortuous road tinder . the; shelter of a4 hillside'' the party ,l came abruptly upon the stage of. ac- tlon. It is - Impossibles to;' convey v ah r t Idea of the country without maps, nor was It practical to" see 'more ' than that section of the flghting directly below the outpost) trenches which guard the? northern entrance a mile or more to the front. The trench lies along a ridge between two hills and is not more than half a mile wide. In front of. it is the slope where the daylight surprise of the Fourth was fought, and the road winds down to ward the left ' through a v gradually widening valley with fields of beans and corn on both sides and hills cover ed with young trees and thick bushes Down at the endof the vaiey gleams a white pagoda, where General 8a ku rort, according sto his report, witnessed the engagement of the Fourth and was filled with admiration for the valor of his men, and where he was probably a spectator of their, second, and -more disastrous repulse. The v advancing Japanese skirmish line was half a mile below the trenches steadily pusning the Russians back. The tire of the Japanese battery had ceased when the enemy began to retreat, m in.sts had k-laeri and the sun was shining hotly. The tiproar of Japanese rifles was like the popping or. nunarons oi corks, while v the . Russian; volleys crackled viciously and arter each vol ley came a erashlns of tree tops as though a,' gigantic ax-cut a swat :e through them. JAPANESE METHODS SUPERIOR. The Russians were yielding the ground .slowly, with their firing line spread out across the fields and hill sides In an almost solid barrier, iiehlnd the firing line and sheltered by n clump of magnificent ..trees, which must have concealed them from the Japanese ad vance, a regiment was stopping in solid formation on a cross-road. The men were a long, dark muss, blotting out the fresh green crops, and their officers. In white coats, could be seen riding up and down the lines, apparently trying to re-organlae them. With the regiment was a battery which had fine opportu nity for effective action, but was huil- Hed together In the field where a single well-placed Japanese shell might have worked great execution in Its midst. Further down the road more troops were returning to their camping places slowly,' and .with them many wagons of baggage. The whole attitude of the forces betokened indecision and lack of plans. Although the Japanese troops were nearest, they were so effectually concealed In the trees and bushes that few could be seen and their positions could be inferred only from the sounds of their rifles Attaches and corres-j pondents pushed on through a wood to their left, passing over a reserve line yiug ready for action and encounter ng many wounded Russians in every itage of suffering, whose plight at other lines would have excited sympathy ami ready aid, but who were forgotten In the Important business of seeing the attle. They pushed along the line of he outpost trenches,' where companies f Japanese were shooting over the henda of the men advancing slowly be- ow them, and made their way to the vantage point of a high hill close to the ight whose summit afforded such a lew of battle' as can be achieved but seldom. EXPERT USE OF COVER. This letter Is not intended to describe the engagement, but to give some of the impressions of a spectator who could see only a part of the field, and hat during the closing hours. By far the most significant and interesting feature of the spectacle was the ap pearance and methods of Japanese sol- llers at the work toward which all the lrlll and equipment of soldiers Is di et-ted, and the comparison of them with the Russians. The eountry af forded the best possible cover for troops who knew how to avail themselves of It, nd the Japanese officers and individual men appeared to have every point In the same at their wit s end. In addition to the irregular road, here elevated and here depressed, the banks of a.moun tain- brook running beside it and the lumps or trees and bushes, and also few low Chinese mud houses, gave shelter for the riflemen. The Japanese utilized all the cover as they advanced, while the .Russian tactics of preserv ing close company formations sacri ficed much of the natural advantages of the ground. That stiffness and precision of the German school which some foreign officers, noting In the home manoeu- res, had thought might handicap the Japanese in the field was entirely bandoned. When a battalion went nto action the companies worked most independently. Sections of com panies found positions separately where the country and cover favored them, without atempttng to preserve long, straight lines, while the units isplayed great initiative and dash. The rolling ground permitted them to advance by rushes effectively. After firing a few rounds they would dash ahead to another hillock, and, dropping nto tne grass, empty their, magazines again. The uniforms of khaki from slan firing Is almost nil by volleys with quite mechanical regularity. Kveu In the use of artillery, they follow a plan oi aiscnsrgmg out gun after another rapidly and with precision To-day four Russian guns saluted the Japan ese for an hour as a regiment of the latter was moving into position before tne Russian front. The manner of It was "One! Two! Three! Four!" again. Their Infantry work is on the same order. Occasionally the Japunese use volleys, but most of the time they fir it will, giving the enemy ls Informa tion of their (xisllloii and gaining the advantages of individual marksman ship. .They lie like a hunter In th hush walling for his game, and when they see It. thev bluxe away. "Hoer tac tics," their officers explain. "For the RusKlniiH It Is as thou it h the Uoer war had never been" an Enalish of fli cr exclaimed, while n atchlnn- the tight of the Seventeenth.

No one who has seen this campatgi I questions Russian bravery. The great sup'rii-itv of the Jananege lies In the head work of officers and men. Th scene around the to-nple nearest tin pasn whi'ii the correspondents arrived on the Mrl'l bore witness eloquently l the courage nf tile IV'ltiellt Sl.iV Through finir ti rrllilf hours the Thirl y fourth European Regiment held tlieii ground under a fierce fire from the Jap nnese redoubts above them. The tem ple consists of one-storied gray brick hulldliiRs, forming three Hides o' p square, with a brick wall In front. Tin coinpouiiit Is perhapsj a hundred feet square, and looking in through Un gates one sees the monster si-urlel and gold-painted mud effigies of grotesqut deities of war, who. by their spells kevt liink the Japanese from the No-Tlen-I.lng 10 years ago. This montt. their shrine has sheltered many Japa nese struck down bv Russian bullets, the led cross hangs In Its gateway and thf telegranh ticks on Its altar. To tin- liRht of the temple, (facing the pass) runs a road which, there.

For fou hours, from to 9, the Russian attack ing line held the temple and the road above It to the corner where It turn? toward the mouth of the pass, and foi four hours the Japanese in theli trenches poured a continuous and dead ly (Ire across the Intervening chasm. The temple itself became u veritable slaughter house. In the liiaxt und the bushy field beyond It the Russians left more than a hundred dead and wound ed, and It was said that at the angle of the road, the nearest point to the pass which they Rained, the bodies lay so close that It was necessary to idle them away to make room for the am munition trains that followed the pur suing columns.

On the Peking relief expedition Jap- nese teglmenta took the field dressed ntlrely In white duck, which' presented t gleaming target across the corn- covered-plains of Chl-ki, within any reasonable rifle range. Since that campaign, in the evolution of this moat modern of armies, economy of Uvea has come to be reckoned with. So far has the spectacular deferred to ef fectiveness in uniforming, that even the regimental numbers on shoulder straps are abandoned, that the enemy may find no distinguishing . marks about prisoners or dead to give a clue to the Identity of the organisations which oppose them. The occasional glint of an officer's sword scabbard when the sun struck It Was the only guide for a marksman a few hundred yards distant. The officers yet re tain their swords in the field because t close quarters they wield them with the old fury and skill of the Samurai lighting before their-clans. How per fectly Khaki ruses with an ordinary background was Illustrated later In the day when the Russian battery, with an nexpected burst or energy dropped half , a dozen shells over a hill to the right of the temple. No -one had noticed soldiers there until, after the dropping of the shells, t suddenly seemed to swarm with men and two or three companies scrambled down the slope running for shelter. One of the shells 'fell short almost on the crest of the hill where the attachees and cor respondents had been grouped until a few minutes before, when they with drew, thinking that the flghting was practically finished for the day. The Japanese, for some reason, refrained from making the most of their guns on this occasion. The Russians, retreat ing in large, compact bodies, presented splendid targets. A few shells now and then might have thrown them into confusion,' but after the retirement be gan,' the Japanese artillery; was silent. The spectators with this army have yet ': to see ' it engaged nr: Impromptu field work,- for all Ha action as at the crossing of the- Talu, has been shooting at, distances and elevations previously known. ' - j4-- Japanese: Use ( boer s 'taqticb. shrapnel anion the Russian infantry at a range of about 2. (Mill yards. Several shells struck the tenable walls. Two of them penetrated lii inches of compact bricks and dropped Inside the yard. AM over the temple yard, over the road and the fields about It. shrap nel balls were strewn thickly, and the ground was sown with rltie bullets, which could be picked up on every square foot. They testified convinc ingly to the staying powers of the Rus sian soldiery, as convincingly to the Judgment of thrlr officers In electing to make a frontal attack against the gateway to southern Manchuria. MANY RI S.S1ANS COURT CAPTURE Evidence more striking was the har vest of the bullets. Not since Harna tan has this aicny seen more men dis abled on a small area. Along the line where the Russian wave broke It left a fringe of dead and wounded. Five bodies were close together In the road Just above the temple, all lying with their faces toward the enemy as they had dropped, apparently in the first rush. One corpse was on Its luinds and knees, still lutchlng a ride, and but for the head fallen forward on the chest, might have seemed nllve and stooping to shoot, others lay on their faces as they hud been strlpken with Instant death. And others, same not yet dead, had erawled behind bushes and rocks in hope of shelter. Two rifles stuck up in the road against little piles of stones, with handkerchiefs tied to the bayonet Just as had been done at Hamatan. The owners. It seemed, tired of the fight and surrendered when the Japanese came down upon them. They were not the only ones to aban don the- business. The squads search ing for wounled discovered several stalwart soldiers' without any marks on them huddled In the shrubbery. Of one of these a foreign attache, speak ing Russian. asked If he was not ashamed. "N-," replied the soldier. "I have had enough of this war. and I made up my mind to be taken prisoner the first time I found a chance." The reports current In the umiy credit many Russian prisoners with the same action. The Russians go Into battle with heavy marching equipment, weighted down by all their effects. One soldier mortally wounded, wore his heavy coat in a roll over his shoulder, an. en trenching spade, a cooking pot. a can vas bar filled with black bread, a can teen and a bandolier of cartridges were strapped to him. and I saw a Japanese stop to cut these weights from his ene my and drai him into tne snaue m a bush, putting a blanket under nis neao and a handkerchief over his face. Rus Blan Impedimenta were strewn all over the field. Most noticeable were the heavy snuff-colored coats which prove Useful in Japanese hospitals, the crude wooden water flasks, the pouches of coarse bread, numerous rifles dropped In the retreat, and two or three drums emblazoned with the double headed eagle, whose abandonment is almost like giving up the colors. KUROKI FISHES DURING THE RATTLE, General Nlchl observed the end of the engagement from the summit of i hill close by the temple. He had dressed at his usual hour, taken a leis urely breakfast, keeping in touch with his command by a cobweb of telegraphs and telephones, and only when he learned that the Russians had begun to retreat and the business of the day was practically decided hal he start ed on, an unhurried ride to the. scene.
