That wail of personal suffering, which is never obtrusive in the Japanese despatches, becomes stentorian in the Russian report. "The troops have been fighting for four days," Kuropatkin says, "and many regiments have not slept for three nights." But he consoles the Tsar by adding, " Never- theless, I have full hope in their capacity to continue the struggle. The Japanese losses must be very considerable." Kuropatkin says, "The night of the 14th passed quietly." But hostilities were resumed next... morning : " Before hine o'clock in the morning a rather marked movement of the enemy was noticed in the direction of our positions on the Great Mandarin Road. Our batteries opened fire on them. 1 have received a report from the commander of the left wing that the enemy is being strongly reinforced there. As was the case at Liao-Yang, the amount of heavy firing caused a storm to burst forth. It was followed by torrential rain, and the roads are in a very bad condition, and the level of the rivers has risen." COWARDICE AND DISGRACE 269 The stars in their courses were fighting against Kuropatkin.
