HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL KC
ROKI'S ARMY, near Tiding- Pass, Man
churia, March 15. The combination of the
most efficient staff with the bravest and
most intelligent soldiers to execute Its
plans decided the mastery in Manchuria.
Again the Russians gave a splendid ex
hibition of the old school of fighting.
hey were courageous almost beyond
criticism, and stubbornly defended their
lines, but in generalship and the employ
ment of more modern methods the Jap
anese surpassed them. Their retreat be
gan in as good order as that from Liao
Tang, but, -when the soldiers realized that
they were being surrounded, it became a
panic with incidents which must have
been humiliating to the officers.
The battle, like Liao Yang, had for the
Japanese some days of suspense, when it
appeared doubtful If the Russians could
be forced from their positions. It was
full of surprises, and the climax, when
Kurokl's soldiers, who, judged by all
standards, should have been completely
exhausted from ten days' fighting and
exposure, marched rapidly northward in
a thick sand storm and appeared across
the Tiding road beyond Mukden, was a
decisive surprise. The Russians about
Mukden had delayed their retreat too
long. Only on March 9 Kuropatkin ap
pears to have realized the danger and
warned foreign officers and correspond
ents to leave. Thoe who started that
day are still with the Russian army, but
the others who delayed until March 10
were captured.
Defeat "Unexpected Caused Panic.
Tho Russian soldiers expected victory.
They were told that the Russians were
winning along the Shaho and at Fushun.
When the soldiers found tho army ap
proaching from every aide. Ignorant peas
ants, deluded with tales of Japanese
atrocities, they scattered and fled like
sheep, and, being surrounded, surrendered
in squads to unarmed Japanese trans
port men and coolies, begging not to be
massacred. Many who have been hiding
about the country inside the Japanese
lines arc now driven by cold and hun
der, and are coming Into camp. Corpses
of Russians and even Japanese lie nu
buried away from the roads, where they
were got noticed or were passed over by
the army in its hurried advance, and no
doubt numbers of wounded who were not
discovered died from exposure.
The Japanese staff hail long ago resolved
upon a Winter campaign. They would
have launched It sooner, bufwero obliged
to await the fall of Port Arthur for a
force large enough to give a reasonable
assurance of success. If Stoessel had
persisted another month, the Japanese
would have faced the difficult problem of
bridging the rivers to be crossed Instead
of .walking over on the ice, and the odds
against' them, .would have been far great
er. .After Port Arthur surrendered. It
was necessary to partly reorganize, there
by filling the decimated ranks with re
serves, and to march them up to Liao
Yang. The heavy siege guns had to be
brought north by trains and foundations
constructed for them.

from Shaho, all of their 2S-centimeter.
guns -wouia nave fallen Into the hands
of the enemy, but a Russion success was
not contemplated in the plans. These
big guns proved as effective In field fight
ing as against forts. The shells tore
through the Russian entrenchments and
the protected huts as though they had
been paper, leaving soldiers without shel
ter or refuge from the fire. The cavalry
and Cossacks, of whom the Russians have
a great force and whom they expected to
play a leading part In the operations on
level country, were not a factor in the
battle.
Japanese Plan of Attack.
The beginning of the battle found the
Japanese forces organized into five bodies.
Three were along the Shaho and west
ward to the Hun. yogi's veterans were
ready to march northward and attack
Mukden fronr the northwest, and they
executed their part of the plans brilli
antly. On the extreme cast was an un
tried force which had started in January
from bases on the Yalu and was to make
a junction with the Japanese right wing
and sweep around to the north of the
Russian lines of defense. Its work was
to outflank Fushan, the terminus of the
Russian branch railway and Kuropat
kin's eastern stronghold, as Nogl did
Mukden.
Kuropatkin mistook this contingent for
the Port Arthur veterans, and paid It the
compliment of arraying a great body of
his b.cst organizations against it. Thus
he was able to check its advance with
strong entrenchments on the hills south
of the town of Bagantan, 15 miles south
east of Fushan, for several days, and
prevent it from flanking the body of
LJnlevltch's army. Along the Shaho the
Japanese armies were the same organi
zations, although with greatly changed
personnel and altered in details", that met
the Russians at Liao Yang. Two divis
ions of Kurokl's army were sent cast
ward as soon as the battle began. Indeed,
they were qn the march before tho open
ing of the bombardment, to co-operate
with the right army.
There was a break af almost miles
in the line between the easternmost di
vision and the others at one time, and
the ground was covered only by a cavalry
brigade and some infantrv reserves That
division encountered tho same experience
wnicn oeieu the laiu rorce. and the town
of Shatcray, in the mountains northeast
of Wltesan. was its stumbling block.
There was also an Interval left uncov
ered of some miles west of Witesan, be
tween Kurokl's left and the right of an
other army. General Kurnkl vnt .
cral battalions In reserve to meet an at
tack at that point, but the expected at
tack was never delivered. Afterward it
was learned that the Russian line was
equally weak along that stretch of the
river, and the Russians were wondering
why the Japanese did not strike them
there.
As the attack upon Mukden progressed
nne army drew away from the Shaho to
the north to co-operate with the one
flanking Mukden, and the Japanese
iotccs on mcsouui nad a great space to
cover, but plenty of artillery to engage
the enemy." The battle nn th iin
was practically a deadlock until the Rus.
ians were oraerea 10 retire for the de

was to hold and entrace the. Rnnion.

Bioet" every possiWe- preparation had. feeem
made, every isaa realized that tee cru
cial stage of the entire -war had arrived,
and all had confidence In. the leaders.
On Sunday morning General Kuroki,
with his staff, which included Prince
Kunl and the young Marquis Salgo, as
cended a small mountain to wltesan.
which was one of the bills nearest the
cnano neia oy tne J a panose, out tne
day was cloudy and soon after noon, when
only a few guns had been fired, a heavy
snow storm descended upon the hilltop
and cut off the view of the river, so that
the bombardment waa reluctantly aban
doned. This mountain was the General's
conning tower throughout the battle until
the Russians retired from the river. There
the officers stood at a great telescope or
sat around charcoal fires, while snow
storms and sand storms awept by In icy
blasts and Russian shells burst about the
batteries on the lower hills at either side
and upon Wltesan. A cluster of wlrea
connecting with the divisions, with the
artillery commanders directing the fire
from other hills and with the headquar
ters of Marshal Oyama, was fo cussed at
the rocky peak, and the tinkle of the tele-J
phone bell sounded constantly.
Three Days' Bombardment.
For three days the artillery duel con
tinued, with hardly a crack of a rifle, and
until Wednesday there were no Japanese
soldiera in sight along the: lines except a
few men occasionally darting from their
shelter around the guns. Alt of the in
fantry at the front were concealed in the
earth huts and burrows on the slops be
hind their trenches. The artillery fire was
neither as heavy nor a? continuous as
along the lines to the west, where the
hlg guns were planteB. The Japanee sel
dom engaged their full strength, and there
were few exhibitions of such rapid fire
as was displayed at Liao Yang. Close by
Witesan the Japanese had two batteries
of captured Russian guns, which nearly
exhausted thelrammunltlon before the
artillery' stage of the battle was finished,
but when the Russians retreated the bat
teries went forward toward Tiding, con
fident that they would get a new supply.
The Shaho River resembles the Yalu
on a small scale, having two or three
streams only a few yards wide and shal
low at this season, running in irregular
channels along a wide, sandy bed. On
the south side, the line of hills and moun
tains which were followed by the Japan
ese trenches were about a mile from the
stream, while the lower hills and bluffs
on the Russian side were much nearer.
The hills were bare of trees and rocky,
and the whole landscape had a barren
and bleak aspect. In front of Wltesan
and for some miles in both directions the
river ran nearly east and west. To the
cast It made a wide bend northward
among high, steep, hills. At the west it
took another turn toward the southwest
in front of the great rocky hill called
Monpaushan, or Tower Hill. One dlvielon
of Kurokl's troops was to cross in front
of Wltesan, another division at the bend
of the river cast and a third among the
hills several miles from the center di
vision. Dying Down to Be Shot at.
Wednesday the men who have done
more than any other branch of the army
to win battles the Japanese .nfantry
came into evidence. During the night
two companies had bene sent forward
and occupied a village in the plain to the
right of Witesan, In front of a hill where
the correspondent was watching events.
That day they were subjected to the hard
est test that infantry has to endure, to
lie still under heavy shelling all day and
take their chances of being hit. There
was no protection In the town except
huts with straw roofs and mud walls,
and mud walls around the yards. The
soldiers huddled in long rows behind the
wall?, while the Russian shells fell near
by and sometimes among them. The
Russian battery working oh this ' village
used mostly solid shells, but its aim was
poor, so that the majority dropped either
in front of the village or behind It, and
when night came the fields looked as
though they had been plowed at random,
but only 30 soldiers were hit.
During the night of Thursday and
early morning- of Friday the infantry
began to play the leading part in the
battle before Whltesan, and from that
time until the Russians raised a white
flag to ask for an armistice on the af
ternoon of Tuesday, March 7, they suc
cessfully endured an ordeal that has
few counterparts in the history of bat
tle. Two brigades crossed the river;
Thursday night and drove the Rus
sian advance line from the first
trenches at the foot of the hills by one
of the night rushes with the bayonet
which the Japanese army has success
fully attempted so often during this
war, contrary to the textbooks of the
best European theorists. Friday morn-.
Ing they were arrayed at the foot of
the hills which were the Russian de
fenses of the main line, and some de
tachments were part way up the
slopes. There was sharp fighting dur
ing the day. In which the Japanese
made further advances, and planted
themselves along a line two miles long
facing the Russian trenches, and in a
few places only a few yards distant.
They pot little further In the next four
days, but held their line and under
difficulties which made it seem impos
sible. "Winning Against Handicaps.
In the first night the Russians made
four attacks to drive them back, with
a fusillade of continuous rifle fire,
supported much of the time -by shell
ing. The fighting continued in this
character for three successive nights,
beginning before midnight and lasting
until daybreak, and it was continuous,
although not so heavy, during the
days. All the advantages lay with the
Russians. Their guns could fire upon
the Japanese lines at closer distances
and with greater effect than could the
Japanese guns across the river upon
the Russians, their trenches ran at
angles which commanded the ap
proaching slopes from front and
flanks, and behind them were roofed
shelters In which "the soldiers could
find rest and warmth.
On their side the Japanese had only
such protection as they could lmprp
vlse under great disadvantages, dig
ging the frozen ground and in the face
of rifle fire, and turning the face of
some of the smaller Russian trenches.
Going into, action, each man carried on
his shoulders a pair of small sandbags,
and for many these bags were the only
shelter for hours and days. To raise
a head or even, an arm drew fire. For
the first day they got no warm food,
only the rations carried in their hav
ersacks. All of this time the nights
were several degrees below freezing,
and in the days the temperature hard
ly rose -above freezing point. The
losses of this contingent, most of them.
In the first night's work reached 1500,
including CO officers.
The noncombatants gave a splendid
exhibition of their devotion to dut
with almost the same risks and with
out the opportunities for glory of the
men in the fighting line. All supplies
of rations and ammunition had to be
taken across the river and the open
fields under fire 'from the Russian bat
teries, and during the last stage .of the
trip before the Russian rifles. South
of the river bed was the plain, at- least
a mile wide, with no shelter, and over
this we'nt the pack-trains, carts and
hospital men bringing back the
wounded, the stretcher-bearers carry
ing bodies to the cremating fire be
hind Wi teso ri
Cal m Amid Shell Storm.
For two days this aone was swept
by an almost constant artillery fire,
and for three days the roads and ap
proaches were shelled at intervals for
several hours. Yet on the plain the
engineers were calmly repairing the
telephone lines, while the wen of the
hospital corps plodded back and forth
on their journeys. One of the base
hospitals was situated in a . Chinese
hamlet back of a lew kill on the bercfer
ef the plala. and was frequently struck
by shells. T6c road from this hwpUal

which were on the reverse of a swajl
slope further to the front, ran for sev
eral hundred yards in sight -of a Rus
sian battery. The Russian guns were
sending a shell every few "aalnutes
during the night as well as the day.
The carts and horsemen were sent
across the road and at full speed to
present the least possible target. One
of the roads to the river led from the
headquarters village down the farther
side of the slope, and this road was
shelled frequently. The shrapnel burst
in a cornfield so near that frequently
they kicked up clouds of dust almost
at the back wall of the General's house,
but never quite reached it.
In this village there were Chinese stol
idly going about their work and children
playing la the fields during the most In
cessant fire. Four soldiers came across
the field to the village bearing the body
of an officer while' shrapnel were drop
ping all about thera, but. although they
shuffled along at as fast a gait as their
burden would permit, they did not drop it.
Center Division's Hard Fight.
Two iays after the contingents of Gen
eral Kurokl's left division had secured
their foothold across the Shaho, the cen
ter division, which had Seen meeting a
strong opositlon beyond the be.nd of the
river east In a very mountainous tract,
also swung over. The plan was for It to
cross when,the otner division did. but the
Russians In front were too strong. Its
experience was almost the same as that
of the left, division. It -found the ap
proaches to the Russian trenches bristling
with wire barriers, with pitfalls and all
the devices which the Russians have
learned to employ against night attacks.
Nevertheless its night advance to the
first line was successful, and. like the
rleft division, it stuck like leeches to the
'lower slopes day and night while the
Russians made fierce attempts to shake
them off.
Thq right division had a very hard fight,
lasting from March 1 to the morning of
March 7 at Ofuray, several miles north
east and almost south of Fushan," In their
attempt to turn the Russian flank there
In co-operation with the Yalu. army fur
ther to the east. The mountain had
steep slopes arid pointed summits, with
several rows of entrenchments, while the
Russians were equipped with many ma
chine guns. The country was such that
the Japanese could not advance in large
bodies, and must go through narrow- val
leys swept by the machine guns and rifles
from the heights. The division should
have waited for the other forces to at
tack the Russian flank and make a frontal
attack easier for it. but the right army
was meeting equal difficulties at Bagan
tan. Progress was slow on the right of
the Japanese line until the Russians be
gan their retreat upon Fushan on the
night of March 6 and 7.

"Words cannot describe the terrible Eczema I suffered with. It

body. I was almost a, solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked
more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and
