LEFT FLANK ORDERED BACK
JAPS THREATENED TO CUT OFF
A SECTION OF THE RUS
SIAN ARMY.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-General
Kuropatkin reports that he has or
dered the Russian troops on his left
flank to retire because Japanese rein
forcements threatened TO cut them of
The dispatch says, regarding the
fighting of Oct. IL and Oct. 13, that
the Russians on the right wing de-
Tended their advanced positions and
also portions of the different main po-
sitions, particularly in the direction OF
Sialiupedzy, until towards evening,
when Kuropatkin ordered them to
withdraw a short distance. In spite OF
the fact that the Japanese attacks
were chiefly directed against these
troops they held the ground to which
they retired.
On the left wing, after very OBJ
stinate struggle, the Russians occupied
the Rocky hills, south of Bentsiaputze
and near Bensihu, about eight miles
north of Yentai, but the arrival of
large Japanese reinforcements pre-
vented them from profiting by this
success and as this body was separated
from the rest of the troops Kuropatkin
ordered 1t to retire.
The dispatch reiterates that the Rus
SLAMS suffered heavy losses, but nc de-
tails have yet been given out.
1t Is now evident that Kuropatkin's s
plan was to press his advance, not
directly from the front, but toward the
left for the purpose of getting in the
rear of Oyama's triangle.

Panie-Proof Theaters.

In an article on the 1roquois horror

go theater was fre-proof. This sounds
like bitter irony now. II needed but
one sheet of flame from the blazing
scenery to bring to naught all the care
of builders in constructing its walls.
floors and balconies so that they would
resist fire. But II is not a flre-proof
theater that will save life; it is one
which the audience can leave freely
and instantly at the cry of fire. The
sides of theater from parquette to
gallery should be practically all doors.
Reliable employees should be there to
throw them open the moment the audi
encc takes fright. To calm the terri
fled people is best. of course; but all
the doors should be flung open at once
whether they are Gained or not. 1t is
mot TO provide against fire alone that
theater construction must be planned.
but TO provide for panic. "The people
ought not to get frightened" What
nonsense The people will get fright

then is perfectly free egress.
