way of the Feag-Waag-Cbeag road.
Immediately In Croat of Chlaofnntuu
the Japanese stubbornly attempted to
occupy a round-topped bill, which was
literally shaved by Russian sheila,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently tt was Impoaalble
tor anything to live. The cannonading
continued from this point to the vicin
ity of Wangpaotnl until this evening,
without apparent advantage to either
aide. The Japanese dropped shells with
