TAKE AND LOSE IMPORTANT
POSITIONS AT PORT ARTHUR

= Chefoo, Sept. Sit is apparent that
heavy firing reported by Chinese
refugees as having occurred before Port
Arthur August 81 and 81 occurred
chiefly on the first two days, the Jap
anese thereafter directing their efforts
almost entirely to holding the posi-
tons they had obtained. That these
positions were of considerable import,
ance is evidenced by the fact that the
Russians risked the lives of valuable
men in open fight in their efforts to
dislodge the Japanese from them. The
Japanese troops retired from nearly all
the points on the night Of August 81.

st. Petersburg, Sept. S.-Two dis
tinct emotions prevail in connection
with General Kuropatkin's retreat
admiration of the military feat anu
grief at the moral shock, It is felt
that the army has acquitted itself with
a peculiar glory and yet that Russia
has suffered staggering blow that
must affect it's fortunes throughout
the east and to a less extent through
out the world. ff. eH,f-
Maintain Task Is Too Great.
News from the front continues to
discover to influential minds the con-
viction that the task the government
has set the nation in the far east can
not be accomplished without sacrifice
too great to be contemplated. These
men maintain that Japan commands
means of permanent superiority in the
area of cofict and that Russia's fright
full handicap can never be overcome.
Hence they say that peace must soon
er or later be arranged on terms &C
ceptable to the islanders.
Gar MobiIizes More Troops.
On the other hand, the authorities
remain militant and mobilization pro-
ceeds. In reply to foreign critics who
take the view that Kuropatlin's policy
in Manchuria has subjected him to Sc,
we're damage while he has gained moth
ing in return, Russian military men as
sert that Japan has suffered a loss of
$4,000 troops and spent an amount or
national energy that cannot be re-

RUSSIANS MAKE STAND
FEW MILES SOUTH OF MUKDEN

London, Sept. S.-Five miles south
of Mukden the fleeing Russians turned
and again attempted to make final
desperate stand against theil relent-
less foes. For hours the battle ragged.
The fire of the Japanese light artillery,
which had not been left behind In the
pursuit, was terrific and moved down
the Russians by hundreds. Corpses
strewed the battlefield. For the
length of time the fighting continued
it was the most sanguinary battle Of
the war. EIE# a#
The Japanese, seeing the awful eff
feet of their machine gun fire on the
Russians, charged with fixed bayonets,
disdaining to use their rifles.
Charge after charge they made with
reckless bravery. The battle became
a furious hand-to-hand conflict and de
generated into a butchery as the Jap.
anese pushed the Russians back.
Then the line of the czar's troops
broke and they turned again in flight.

High Praise for Japanese.
London, Sept. Examining the sa-
lient aspects Of the defeat of General
Kuropatkin at Liaoyang, the military
critic of the Times says that the dia-
bolical offensive power of the Japanese
overshadows the whole struggle.
"They possess" he says, "the thor
oughness of the German, the dash of
the French, the stubbornness of the
English and the 'slimness' of the
Dutch. They have brought into play
the most extraordinary combination OF
military qualities. this generation has
witnessed" rEst ss-
Calls Kuropatkin PhIegmatic.
While praising the Russian troops,
the critic pronounces them, great as
they are, unequal opponents. He con-
dennis General Kuropatkin's general
resort to parapets and intrenchments
and declares that any army that wins
must study how to stand still. General
Kuropatkin, he says. is a phlegmatic
man. mo phlegmatic man." he de-
clares, "ever made a great soldier or
