To-day the shells and fragments used in the war between Russia
and Japan are to be found only in the junk-shops of Port Arthur,
and crops of vegetables and millet mantle with living green some
of the fort-hills where desolation and death reigned during the
five months of the siege.
The bloodstains and the gruesome dis-coloring of the soil
around the edges of some of the shallow, overcrowded graves
have disappeared. There was no trace left of the largest blood
blotch, a dreadful black smut twenty feet by four or five feet
on the side of 203-Meter Hill, which was in evidence for many
months after the last fighting. God’s healing rains have washed
the hill clean and are filling in and covering with the green
of His love the trenches and other scars left by man’s lust and
hate. (Text.)
