which will go down In history as the
battle of the Hun river, was fought
out on a seemingly unending plain,

solitary eminence of which Is the Lino

Manchurian winter, the mounds of
earth had become like granite and as
impenetrable as the stsel sides of a
modern battleship.

thunder of cannon, the din of bursting
shells, the rattle of musketry, but
neither steel point ehell nor nickel
