st. Petersburg, July 1T.-2:5O a. m.-
clined to criticise General Kuropatkin's
management of affairs in the Far East,
declare as the situation develops, that
his strategy has proved, so far, beyond
reproach. He has successfully tided
over pressing danger-how pressing
only those in close touch with the Far
East realize. His apparent mistakes,
like the prolonged resistance offered
by Lieutenant Zassalitch on the Yalu,
turns out to be acts Of the highest mil
itary judgment.
General Kuropatkin then had so few
and such poor troops at Lao Yang that
the Japanese would have had an easy
task to crush the main force Of the
Russians had they been permitted to
cross the Yalu without severe punish
n1ent; and the thousands lost by Zassa-
Itch practically saved Lilac Yang.
1assalitch until disgraced occupied an
important staff position.
General Baron Stakelberg's march,
HAASh was CIIliClSeu, Is lfOW
to have been necessary. The march
! was a reconnaissance on a grand scale
and not only ena bled General Kuropat-
kin to ascertain the enemy's strength
and disposition, but materially disturb
ed the japanese plans relative to the
siege Of Port Arthur, gradually drawing
the bulk Of the Japanese army to fol-
low the retreating column, and thus
distracting attention from the vulnera-
Die spot between Liao Yang and Muk-
den.
Meanwhile the men at Kuropatkin's s
headquarters are improving. Fifty
thousand Of the best troops from Eu-
ropean Russia have reached Liao Yang
within month and if the Russian COM
mander-in-chief in the Far East now
chooses to accept a battle, he will be
able to intiict a heavy blow. All Rus
sia is looking forward with confidence
20 the issue of the fight.
