CITH FOO.-Tho gonoral assault
on Port Arthur, which began in a
prcllmlniry way on October 21, de
veloped into a llorcoly racing battlo
when, according to a hitherto in
lalllblo authoilty, the Japanese Hung
heavy forces against the forcis in
their third attempt to secure a com
manding position.
The Japanese havo been preparing
for this assault for a month. It is
believed that tho Japanese did not
expect to capture tho town on tins
occasion, but to accomplish another
Important stop. This plan was
adopted following the first assault,
wnen thousands of lives woresaorl-
llcod in an attempt to swarm over
tho fortliicarl(ii.s by a mere force or
numbers, regardless of loss.
This assault, like the previous
one, was an incident of weary weeks
of trench digging, gun-mounting and
binall eriLMiuciucuts. In tho opinion
of exports, tho assault will coasr
when tho J.tpaneso havo seourod
such positions as will onablo tnem
to creep steadily closer under tin

lieved that two morcgonernl assaults

the end of tho slcec practicable.
