Lao Yang, Aug. 2S.-7:1O p. m.-The
by another unexpected withdrawal.
The whole Eastern division and the
troops on the Anshanshan position have
been ordered to fall back to positions
nearer Lao Yang, just as the soldiers
were expecting another advance.
The Japanese are not following the
Russians.
The advance. from the South is ap-
parently being pushed home Sounds
of artillery from that direction are
palmer than they were yesterday.
The Chinese at Lao Yang are bring
ing out women and children, which
they usually do when expecting a Japa-
nese advance.
The Russians had sustained a hot
artillery fight all of Aug. 26 on the
eastern front, but held all their posi-
TONS
At . o'clock in the evening, the AS
sociated Press correspondent crossed
over to the left flank. The under
standing was that the Russians would
concentrate heavily in the morning for
al dItdCh VI llle JdDdIleSe Ill lHdI Ill
rection, and the surprise was greater,
therefore, at the order to retire.
The explanation is given that the
Tenth Corps especially Gen. Herschel-
mann's division on the extreme left, was
confronted by a greatly superior force
or japanese, Though the Russians
fought bravely and held all their posi-
tlons, they had lost an immense NUM-
Der of officers.
Most probably the retirement from
the Anshanshan position arose from the
same reason, for the whole mountain
division, as well as the eastern troops,
retired apparently not from the pres
sure OF the japanese, but for strategic
reasons.
The rains had made a thick and
binding mud, which almost paralyzed
wagon transport and made the move
ment of guns even more difficult.
Though the Japanese witnessed the
SLOW retirement of the eastern divis-
ION, they made no attempt to follow
the Russians, being apparently eX
hausted by the duel of Aug. "a and Aug.
% and the desperate and unsuccess-
ful all day attack on Aug. 26.
To-day the sound of cannonading is
heard palmer in Liao Yang. 1t is
more to the south than to the south
east.
The Japanese seem to be advancing
along the entire front, particularly
moving with "A large force up the val
ley of the Lao river.
