A Russian correspondent correspond-ent of the Associated Press sends the following from the southeast front: After midday the Japanese concentrated concen-trated the strength of all their artillery fire against hill No. 98 and the village of Maetum, endeavoring to break into our left . At the same time they viciously vic-iously attacked our west line to the right of the hill. . Attack followed attack for three hours. Between 2 and 5 o'clock In the afternoon we repulsed three headlong charges against our line. After this the Japanese, with the, strength of all their batteries, opened fire along the whole southern front but this attack, too. was driven back with what seemed tremendous tre-mendous loss, although it was impossible impos-sible to tell clearly what happened amid the sheU fire and fighting. The roar ef siege guns, mortar batteries and mixed volley firing went on until darkness set in. To the north a storm accompanied by thunder and lightning broke, while along the front thousands of shells were bursting constantly. It seemed like a magnificent display of fireworks, beggaring beg-garing description. As a result of the exhausting efforts on the part of the Japanese, our position posi-tion of the eastern front is becoming stronger. i |
