sponsible for their safety."
. On this occasion, however. the cor:
respondent, of The Associated Press
was able to see the conduct of the sol-
diers on the field and their treatment
of wounded and captured enemies in
the heat of fighting.
Whatever reasoas of military policy
may render secrecy desirable, there
certainly is nothing in the actions of
its soldiers that need make the Japan-
ese government keep spectators to the
rear. The treatment of the Russian
victims of the lncompotency of their
officers was all that the'most enlight—
ened nation could expect. When the
correspondent arrived at the trench
where less than a company of Japan-
ese. pushed from their beds without
time to dress. had slaved off the Rus—
slan onslaught, at first with bayonets
and swords, the Russian dead and
wounded still lay where they had fall-
ed on the wet grassy slope liow ilcrce

ore.
in this lighting Lieutenant Kono
alone killed several Russians. almost
severing their heads with a single
stroke of his sword. When he exhib-
ited the weapon afterwards. its edge
looked like a saw blade. It has since
been sharpened for further use,
Although the light had begun only
three hours before, the Japanese ad.
vance was half a mile down the val-
ley pursuing the Russians, the Japan-
ese dead had been removed to a tem-
ple behind the crest of the hill and
parties of soldiers from one of the com-
panies in reserve were going about the
field with trenching spades bUlylng the
dead Russians where they lay and
marking the graves with a stake or a
pile of stones. The Russians had gone
into action wearing their heavy over-
coats and carrying their bags of black
bread. They had dropped both on the
fluid. Already, while some details
were burying the dead. and some care-
ing for the wounded. others had gath-
ered the debris from the field and
piles of coats and canteens and a'hun-
dred .rliics with bayonets attached
were stacked on the temple steps. The
Japanese system is not only thorough.
but quick.
There was a company of Japanese
. soldiers whose khaki coats were black
with mud and sweat gathered at the
trench quietly discussing events with
no sign of excitement. Two big RllB’
slan prisoners not wounded were real-
lng there with a small Japanese alt-
ting behind them. The Japanese sol-
diers of the column are heavier men
than the average of most European ar-
mies, but the Russians in the Tenth
and Twenty-fourth East Siberian regi-
. ments are larger and the beards, which
most of them wear after a season of
campaigning. give them a particularly
fierce appearance. The bodies of
three Russians who had been
killed on the parapet of the
trench were laid in the road behind it
with their snuff-colored great coats
thrown over their faces. Four others
of the Tenth East Siberian dressed in
grey blouses and caps without any
regimental insignia were on the
ground beside them. One was shot
through both legs and had been bay-
oneted in an arm. and a leg, another
had a bullet hole in the abdomen, and
another was shot in the foot. The man
wounded in the abdomen was dying,
his face alleady had the color of a
corpse and his breathing was slow
gasps. A hospital attendant out near.

low displaying a white band with the

had done what he could for his com-
rades and was stolillly awaiting devel-
opments.
Thirty wounded Russians were scat-
tered over the ground before the
trench. They had received “first aid"
and were waiting their turn while the
stretcher men followed the firing line
further on. Groups of Japanese stood
about them giving some cigarettes and
water and talking with them in the
broken Russian which a few knew and
the Chinese phrases which the men oi
both armies pick up from the natives
of the country. Three days of' steady 9:4
rain had cut gullies and ditches in the
hillside which furnished some shelter
for a charging force. Many of the
wounded had crawled into these places
for shelter Over at the right of the
trench the road ran down the valley
and along its further side a brook
which had worn a bed among the'
rocks. Part of the Russian battalion
advanced up the bed of the stream and
a number were shot as they emerged
into the roadway. One wounded sol.
oler had crawled baolt to the brook

ATWOOD'S CHANCE TO MAKE
MONEY.
Another Law Found Under Which He
Can Collect the “Cola."
Since the somewhat sensational ad-
vent of D. Preston Atwood. of Bridge‘
port.. as the champion searcher for
laws that. have fallen into disuse and
have been forgotten. says an exchange
lawyers and others interested have
spent considerable time studying the
statutes of the state and have run
acress several laws of this character.
it is impossible that anyone will bring
suits for violationlof these laws. as
few have the “nerve" displayed by
“D. Preston," who was until recently
known to his friends as plain
“Dwight."
Others have no desire for the popu-
larity (?) gained by him and. too.
there is considerable reason to believe
that “D. P. " is paying out more money
than he will receive from his share of
the fines.
A Morillell attorney. in looking over
the statutes with a Merlden Record
man on another matter. ran across a
law which is aptly termed an "Atwood
law which reads as follows:
:‘The selectmen of every town shall
erect and maintain a sufficient pound
or pounds for the impounding therein
0! all creatures liable to be impound-
cd. And the selectmen shall forfeit
two dollars for every month in which
their town shall be without a suiliclent .
pound. half to him who shall sue
therefor and half to the county in
which the judgment is obtained."
The above in section 1892 of the re-
vised statutes. it is said on good au-
thority that half the towns in Connecti-
cut are liable under this law.
Waterbury is included in the list of
towns without a pound in accordance
with the law. it is evidently not "up
to" the selectmen. however. as all the
duties developing upon them. except
that of making voters. and one or two
minor obligations. have been trans-
ferred to the board of alderman. under
the consolidation act.

when impcrilled—to develop every muscle in your body. to expand your lungs and to benefit your entire system.
Of course any kind of a suit will answer, but how much more appropriate is one made specially for the purpose.
