War in the Far East

By Editor

Since our last there has been fearful and bloody fighting in the far Orient, especially around Liao Yang. The number of dead on both sides is estimated to be all the way from 20,000 persons to 70,000. One report places Russia's loss at not less than 50,000. Finally General Kuropatkin burned the town and retreated to Mukden, a town which he has already abandoned. Port Arthur holds out still, but how long the Russian stronghold can resist the persistent and tremendous assaults can not be told. Praise God the time is not long hence when the King of righteousness and peace shall come and reign forever. Hail that glad day!
