The at or) of the operations, as far
as ;t has been given out, Is Intensely
Inlerestlnv aod gnos that there has
b en ao almost uninterrupted ss'ult
of the iu't di-sierate cl.arac'er from
November 20 to Decebmer 20, wnen
the Japanese, after 1 si. g over 22,000

The official account e"ds there, but
it is it d. rstood that the J.inancse d i
nut occupy the top of the M l, wh ch
is still exp'fied to a deadly fire from
the Rus-inn attlllety. The Japanese
are pHsdng a plur g'ng Are from very
heavy guns from behind the crest of
the hill, but that this tire Is efficien
tly dine ed is shown by the damage
r furred hy the Km-lan squadron.
The Japam s are credited with uslntf
eleven-inch and iJxtet n-lsrh mor
tars and homitsers. The effect of
these must he most oeadly when

BAD MANNERS IN SOCIETY.

llio present time. "In my day," ahs
