Importance tomorrow when it has been

The center of interest is not separable
from the movements of the armies that
Are furnishing the spectacle.
Owing. TO the rapidity OF the japanese
and campaign this center has been
shifted with almost daily regularity
since the crossing of the Yalu. From
present indications the advance of the
Japanese toward the railroad will be
likely TO bring the armies into active
contact at Mukden For that reason

perceived a long, double row of clean

1t is likely that the comparative free
dom from epidemics is due to the po-
rosity of the soil. This immunity is
even more remarkable when it is con-
sidered that all the water for domestic
