The great battle of last week took
place or a line between ffty-hve and
sixty miles long, and the line Of battle
proper, where the fighting was most
severe and continuous, was twenty
I'VE or thirty miles long. The Hun
FLYER on the north and west and the
Taitse on the east and south mark ont
the field in a general way. The Schili
river, frequently mentioned in the dis
patches, bisects this field on an east
and west line, and most of the fighting
thus far has been south Of 1T. The bat
tie may possibly be known as the bat
tie of the Schili river.
Gen. K%uropatkin brought into play
every pound of military strength that
Russia has available in the far East.
Since the battle Of Liaoyang he has
been REINFORCED by the First and Sixth
corps, and possibly also by the Fourth
Don Cossack division. A low estimate
Of his strength is 100000 men. 1t may
be 250,O00. With all that he has been
gradually but surely beaten back, and
the chances are greater now than they
were at a corresponding stage Of the
battle of Liaoyang that his army will
be partially dismembered. Then his
divisions were closely concentrated for
mutual support. Now they are much
more widely spread out.
On the last day of September CORE
~spondents at Mukden made note Of
great military activity, but their pre-.
diction Of a movement southwark was
not credited. Oct. . Gen. Kuropatkin
issued his famous order for the adj
vance, though it was not till a week
later that Europe learned Of it. In the
meantime the Russians had been en-
gagged in pushing in the Japanese out
posts. This preliminary stage of the
struggle eliminated with the driving
of the Japanese outposts out of Bent
siaputze.

curate idea of the battle field strategy.

Almost Routed by Japanese i'm First
Battle with Conditions Equal.
The seven days battle north OF Yentai
was the heaviest blow yet struck the
Russians by the japanese, so far as loss
Of life is concerned. The left Japanese
army during the week buried 400 Rus
sian dead left in front of its lines. A.
village in front of the left wing contains
many Russian dead, but the shell fire
Of the retreating Russians prevents the
Japanese from reaching them. Conserva-
tive estimates place the Russian casual
ties at not less han $4,000. Probably
many more dead are on the field in
places not yet searched. The Japanese
report their total casualties at a little
over 1900 killed and wounded. The
principal Russian casualties occurred in
determined counter attacks on each vii
lage captured by the Japanese. The
Russian attacking parties were in many
cases entirely annihilated.
For the first time the Russians met
the Japanese on an equal footing, not
having strong defense positions to de-
pend upon, and for the first time they
attacked the japanese in their own
trenches. The Russians everywhere
fought bravely, but they were unable to
drive the Japanese out or to hold their
own positions against fierce charges.
Almost in every case the Russians re-
tired from their POSITIONS art the first
charge, then made repeated attempts to
recapture them. The japanese left
army, with a front of nearly ten miles.
moved forward about five miles, fighting
over every inch OF ground. The final
retreat of the Russians was almost a
rout. The Japanese extreme left advanc-
ed, driving the remnant of Russians
ahead. The Russians covered their re-
treat well with artillery and carried
away much baggage and many wounded.
The Japanese soldiers were practically
the same that fought before Liaoyang.
Chinese report that heavy works are
ready for the Russians along the Hun
river. The japanese are undecided where
the next stand will be made. Details of
the operation OF the right and center
armies are not obtainable.

hospitals at Hardin, and it would not
be surprising if Kuropatkin had lost
nearly one-ffth of his army in killed
and wounded. Complete figures are
lacking on the japanese losses, but
they will be large, although smaller
than those Of Russia.
The extent OF the slaughter has
shocked both Japan and Russia. In
Toxic the appalling tragedy is consid.
cred to be a strong appeal for peace.
The japanese, usually quick to cele-
brate victory for their arms, are re-
ceiving the news in a subdued spirit,
although it contains the report of a
sweeping success for Oyama's forces.
A member of the diplomatic corps
makes a strong argument In favor Of
an adjustment of the conflict.
In Russia the defeat Of kuropat-
kin's armies is making the war more
unpopular than ever. and fears are ex-
pressed openly that Japan's success
will cause China to abandon her Gcu.
trality and come out openly in favor
Of the japanese.

These lines indicate the respective po-
sitions of the hostile armies at differ
ent stages of the battle. The jagged
triangle including Yentai, Liaoyang
and Sykwantun marks the heart of
Oyama's position, the three points be-
Ing heavily fortified and garrisoned.
North Of his triangle Oyama had adj
vanced a heavy line of outposts at the
position indicated by the line of Oct. s,
But he was not north Of Yentai in
great force.
The Russian advance from Mukden
began on Oct. Is. Two days later it
came in contact with the Japanese
outposts. In two days fighting the
Japanese scouts were forced hack TO-
ward their main positions. At the same
time re-enforcements were sen for
ward from the triangle. The retreat
ing outposts and re-enforcements met
at the line marked "Oct. TO-" On the
following day the heavy fighting be-
gan.
We can most easily get an idea Of
the fighting By considering the Kuroki,
NodZu and Oku armies separately. Ku-
roki has the right, occupying the re-
gion at the bend of the Taitse, where
that river turns from a southerly to a
westerly course. Nodzu is in the CEN
ter, holding the region from the Yen
tai station on the railroad. Oku Is
west of the railroad, holding both sides
OF the HaR river.

SAFEST FOOD

In Any Kind of Trouble IL Grape-Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is predigested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there Is nothing SO valuable as
Grape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and Is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
Some time ago 1 was very i'll with
typhoid fever, 30 i'll every one thought
I would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak / could not properly digest
food of any kind and / also had much
bowel trouble, which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
II needed nourishment as badly as
any one could, but non of the tonics
helped me until / finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that I thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again, so
I can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace OF
bowel trouble and for that reason alone
Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight
in gold" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore p~redigested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar.. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories, and therefore
any one, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong,
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and ten days
trial proves.

'Russia's religion, brings out the fact
that the power and wealth of the
Greek Church are immense. There are
6B, $50 of these churches In the empire.

ton with these churches there are 49,
G5S monks and 80, 146 nuns There are
1850 head priests and 3,743 ordinary
priests. These. together with 3d. 56
deacons and under deacons, make a
grand total, along with seven other
divisions, the figures of which are not
given exactly, Of 10000 persons in

last year for the support of this vast

an expensive lantern, and musicians who

deal to do to make this campaign the
listless one it has been up to the eve

While the omission of the spectacular

Field Marshal Oyama, in a report to

estimate the total number of killed
and wounded on both sides at 10000.
