advance became a race fur pr.sitiotifi,
culminating In a iiriuiiuit charge.
"The heaviest lose of the day was
sustained by the Americans, the
Fourteenth Infantry having nine klllei I,
1 62 wounded and several missing. The
Bengal lancers unsuccessfully attempt

Another Yangtsung special inyn:
"(iwing to a mistake, BrltUh and

when the battle was over, the Cos
