the reported preparations for the aban-

This is the first intimation that such
a course is contemplated. If it turns
out to be true it means the abandon
ment of southern Manchuria and the
winding up of the present campaign.
May Winter at Hardin.
In fact, should Mukden be evacu-
ated, there would be no point for win
tering the army of 250,000 with its
many wounded short of Hardin.
On the other hand the evacuation
of Mukden would give Field Marshal
Oyama commodious winter quarters
and practical control of the two lines
of railway.
The report of the prospective evacu.
alton of Mukden, if we'll founded,
would indicate that the gripping ef-

eral Kuropatlins army is more seri-
GUS than has as yet been intimated.
