   • 1904 March 22, “Russia's Lines Falling Back to the Yalu”, in St. Louis Post-Dispatch‎, volume 56, number 214, St. Louis, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 2, column 2:

     NOTE.—Anju is on the great highroad which runs the length of Corea, chiefly near the west coast, and is 50 miles north of Ping-Yang and southeast of Wiju, on the Yalu river. The Ching-Chong river is the northernmost large stream in Corea at the west side of the peninsula, flowing parallel with the Yalu and about 70 miles from it. Just south of the river and parallel with it runs a high mountain range from the west coast to the center of the peninsula, with only one good pass through it, at Souk-Chyon, by which passage is made between Anju and Ping-Yang. These conditions make the line of the Ching-Chong a particularly strong one strategically, and may serve as the first great line of Japanese operations in Corea.
