JAPs DELAYED TOO LONG
Russians Retreat North of Lao Yang,
Leaving Strong Guard Behind.

St Petersburg. Aug. 11.-Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the comman-
der of the Japanese armies seems to
be disappearing. According to a state
ment issued by the general staff. rains
are again falling over wide area in
Manchuria. with the prospect of i'm
peding operations. but even more i'm
portant is the information reaching
the Associated Press from an excep-
tional source that the Japanese once
more have delayed too long.
General Kuropatkin has now with
drawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Lao Yang. leaving only a
strong rear guard line southeast of
Liao Yang to contest the advance when
II comes.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about 100000 men in
the armies operating against General
Kuropatkin. rendering il too hazardous
for him to risk general engagement.

St. Petersburg. Aug. l1.-DiscOunting
the fall of Port Arthur and the disas-

the hands of the combined Japanese
armies, some diplomats are already
speculating upon the situation in which
the combatants would be left and the
question as to whether II is possible
that a way would be opened for peace.
The almost unanimous opinion is that

Of continuing the war indefinitely. ia
pan would welcome peace. and the al
most unanimous verdict is that Russia
would adopt contrary course. Even
should every Russian soldie: be driv"n

lieve that Russia could not afford to
yield. but would be compelled to dog

army in Siberia and take the offensive
