the State Department by cable from Port
au Prince Haiti. to the effect that the
German charge. Doctor Zummerer, has been

Disconcerting the Russians.

The success of the japanese thanking oper-
ations is disconcerting the Russians. One
by one the passes in the mountains which
the Russians had fortified in advance with
infinite pains have been attacked by the
japanese, who have always managed by
trails not marked on the maps, to circum-
vent the Russians.
When operating along the interior lines
with the railroad to facilitate the move
ment of troops, the Russian general stan
believes this fine quality of the japanese
will disappear and that when the japanese
debouch into the plains, the Russians, who
are accustomed to maneuver in fiat coun-
try will be completely at home.
