Show Hi ' Tromendous fighting has been going on around Hi 1 and above Port Arthur for many days. The three Hjjf ( armies of the Japanese almost enveloped and took Hl , in the forces of Gen. Kuropatkin, but he extricated B himself and though for the time defeated, the Hn it, Japanese did not gain nearly the substantial suc- Hh j. cess they hoped to. With desperate courage the K Japanese have made assault after assault upon HL ', the works around Port Arthur, suffering mighty Bj j losses in men and material, but up to this writing Bj had been countered and driven back every time. IB The fighting is taking on proportions which are B gigantic and establish that' the Japanese as a B warlike race have no superiors. Direct and re- B peated assaults, day after day, upon almost im- k pregnable fortresses is a fearful test of the prowess B of the common soldier and demonstrates that Bj there are no more gallant or devoted soldiers on B earth than the little brown men of Japan. |
