Push Towards Japanese.
Mukden, Oct 25.-The Russian
forces on the left again crossed the
Shakhe river on Oct q and are now
pushing forward toward the Japanese
positions. intrenching as they advance.
At the same time, Russian batteries
are continually bOmbarding the Japa-
nese. who can be plainly seen busily
engaged in the making of trenches.
This plan of the Russians to in
trench as they advance was adopted
because it was found in the recent big
battle that it was impossible to ad-
vance without some protection in the
face of the Japanese shrapnel fire.
Russian Guns Better Screened.
The Russian batteries are now bet
ter screened than they were in former
engagements. but the troops on both
sides apparently make no great efforts
to conceal themselves.
The Russian and Japanese armies
are now separated by less than four
miles. and the whole field of operations
of both armies can be plainly seen.
The question of fuel is becoming a
serious one. The greater part of the
