British MilitaryAuthorities Regard Japan's
Jubilation as Premature.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-English military
ton over the result at Liaoyang nor
lay stress upon the advantage which
Russian dispatches attribute to Kuro
petkin's latest move. The best informed
of informa ton not revealed in the dis
patches from Toxic and not given out
at St. Petersburg, declare that the bat
tie of Liaoyang, however dramatic and
historic in loss of life and tragic Incl
dents, can have no serious bearing on
the eventual issue unless the Japanese
have surrounded Kuropatkin.
The London daily newspapers, in
their headlines, depict the conditions
at Liaoyang as Russian route De
feat" etc. Their editorials, in a more
careful vein. point out that the latest
dispatches leave the issues of the
greatest battle of this generation" still
in doubt.
From the expert British point of
view, Marquis Oyamas sacrifices will
have been in vain unless he is able to
cut off Kuropatkin from Mukden. On
this point there are chaotic hypotheses

the dark as to the final outcome" add
.ing that 1t seems not unlikely that
kuropatl1in may still manage to carry
a fighting force with him to Mukden

The other critics doubt whether the
Japanese, in the face of 'indomitable
Russian pluck" are strong enough to

profit by the preliminary successes al
ready won.
The Morning Post concludes a careful
survey of the four days fighting with
an opinion that the battle of Liaoyang
will take its place beside that of Wa
terloo and believes that whether or
not Kuropatkin's force is able to con-
tinue its retreat 1t will be broken and
useless for some time to come
The Russian view that General Kuro-
patkin, by crossing the river, divided
the opposing forces, meets with slight
consideration as it is pointed out that
all the Japanese units can : attack
simultaneously from different direc-
tions, which eliminates any advantage
to the Russian side and really aggra
Yates the seriousness of their position.
the Japanese force being superior in
numbers.
The suspense with which the devel-
opments at Liaoyang are awaited could
be scarcely greater in Toxic that it
is in London.
KUROPATKIN'S "FORLORN HOPE"
The Daily Telegraph, which hailed
the initial successes at Liaoyang with
the degree of finality, now admits that
lit is not inconceivable that Kuropat-
kin may .extricate a portion of his
forces though this is characterized
as the supreme effort of a, forlorn
hope" The Daily Telegraph continues:
"One of the most exciting problems
ever known in war has been narrowed
down to one point, namely, whether
part of the retreating army will sue

ceed in tearing through Yentai, leaving
many thousands of men and some hun
dreds of guns behind them, or whether
General Kurok will receive the ring by
hammering blows. Perhaps a seventh
day must be waged before the issue
can be finally declared"
The Daily Telegraph's military critic,
in common with other English experts,
sees nothing but superior Japanese
force and strategy to account for Cen
eral Kuropatkin's present position. This
authority predicts an endeavor on the
part of the Russian force to reach
Chinese territory.
FEARS RUSSIANS WILL ESCAPE.
The Standard bluntly voices the
thought of many by asking: rs it re-
treat or rout?" The Standard says that
General Kuropatkin, in his 'precarious
condition, is not without some pros
poets of avoiding the signal catastrophe
of surrender en- masse if he can still get
away to the north. Even with the loss
of many guns and valuable supplies the
success of the Japanese will be good
deal modified"
The Times compares the battle of
I1aOyang 10 those OF WaSram, Lelp-
sig. Connigratz and Gravellotte, but it
says:
I'VE still have to learn whether the
Japanese reaped the fruits of victory in
such abundant measure as to make the
battle thoroughly decisive-the turning
point of the war; From the news thus
far available there seems to be a
strong probability that they will be
able to do So"

fense against mines is good Judgment

to be placed by the enemy. If it is
imperative that ships must go 10 that

The war has demonstrated that the
most powerful searchlights cannot
pick up floating mines, which were
unknown before this war.
The Japanese made as many as
fifteen Intellectual torpedo attacks in
one night. Torpedo nets are of very
little use. When a ship is in action
they cannot be used successfully. as
they retard her speed and hamper her
movements. II several ships are to-

They have been marching and fighting

a direct assault upon Liaoyang itself,
but devoted their energies to the troops
outside the city and an effort to cut off
the Russian retreat. Liaoyang is
strongly fortified and it is probable
that the japanese will not attack the
city directly until they have succeeded
in isolating it. Should the Russians
abandon Liaoyang, the Japanese, of
course, will enter.
,. PRESSURE ON RUSSIAN LEFT.
The fate of the great bulk of the
retreating Russian army hinges upon
the bravery and foYtitude of its left
flank. Before falling back General
Kuropatkin intended that his left, to
the eastward and northWard of Liao-
yang, should be greatly strengthened
in the hope of checking General Ku
rolxi's advance around his flank and TO
protect his line of retreat and COM
munication. The greater portion Of
this protecting force seems to have
been massed in the neighborhood of
Heiyingtai, twelve miles northeast Of
Liaoyang, where it was fiercely as
sauited by General Kuroki at IL o'clock
on Thursday morning. The result of
this fighting is not known. If Kuroki
wins and reaches the railroad, it viii
place the Russians in a serious predica-
ment.
Yesterday the japanese managed to
interfere seriously with the train SER
vice from Liaoyang. They used some
guns captured from the Russians, to-
gether with some of their own, to bonn
bard the railroad station at LiaOyang,
thus preventing the entraining of Rus
sian troops.
LIAOYANG NOT YET TAKEN.
Few details of the pursuit of the
Russian right have been received here.
1t is evident that the Russians are
moving back slowly, contesting the
ground and shielding their movement
as. far as possible.
Nothing concerning the actual occu-
patton Of Liaoyang has been received
here. Official dispatches indicate that
the Russians were still in possession
of Liaoyang this (Friday) morning.
The list of casualties in the fighting
before Liaoyang is growing and the
indications are that it will prove to be
the bloodiest battle since the Franco
Prussian war. The calculations of
casualties must include the losses since
August %. for the contest has been
practically continuous since then. The
Japanese have already reported more
than $4,000 men in killed and wounded.
