TACTICS OF "LITTLE JAPS."
Russian View of the Enemy's Art of
War.
Yes, we were greutly iniataken when
we called them "little Japs." We have
never before bad to deal with such
skillful opponents. Tbey have Included
In their tactics all modern methods,
strictly adapting them to their own
national peculiarities. For IiiKtanee,
knowing tlie weakens of their cav
alry, they never allow it to go out un
supported. There Is always Infantry
behind lt, and our cavalry often runs
against It, not expecting it preaer-.ee.
The Japanese reconnolnsanee Is ef
fected thus: A compact force of rille
men marches, sustained by screens,
and patrols move about five versta
ahead. At a distance of three versls
tlie scouts are preceded by a number
of Chinese. Those last come to the
Russian lines, examine the camp and
make signal to the Japanese con
cerning the whereabouts of the cav
alry patrols. As the country Is moun
tainous, they advance ut the rate of
seven verata a day, Intrenching and
fortifying every step they take. Their
path is nu uninterrupted row of forti
fications. Knowing the excitable, Im
pressionable temper of their soldiers,
they never pursue the enemy before
nettling down In good order upon the
position occupied, because during a
pursuit troops often become disar
ranged. Judging by their operations'
one 'could imagine tbey ure the most
phlegmatic and methodical people in
the world so strong Is their military
education and their knowledge of tho
nrt of war.. They very reasonably
avoid the bayonet. Their lending ranks
run away to the right and left, open
ing the front for the fire of the suc
ceeding lines. Ilunnir.g round these to
the rear, they sixain form their ranks,
thus taking the place of reserves.
If Hie troops uncovered are unable
to stop our attack I y tire they repeat
the maneuver. What le-if control,
what, disci;. line are r.!i;iirod in order
to do this, and what a consciousness
