the descendant Of a Russian officer who
fought with distinction in the great
struggle with Napoleon, Anatoli Mix

from the ranks and won renown in the
expedition to Picking. He proved himself
then to be a hard fighter and a daring
leader. but few observers anticipated
that he would show such great initia-

displayed in the defence Of Port Arthur

JAPANESE HAVE
REACHED HIGH TIDE
Russians Convinced That EOb Must
Come in the Spring = General
Kuropatkin Can Wait.

ST. Petersburg, Dec ID The genera
staa apparently is entirely satisfied
with the military situation in Manchu,

have reached their high tide. A high
officer said to the Associated Press TO-
day.
"The japanese army Is unique in
military history and probably the
strongest in the world, combining the
strength OF harbarism with civilization
drawing from the former fanatieal bray
cry and scorn al death, and from the
latter the latest knowledge Of the
science of war. We have been fighting
them under heavy handicaps, but have
at last definitely stopped them.
They have missed the psychological
moment. They should now be at Har-
bin with Vladiyostok and the eastern
iittoral cut off and de faeto theirs in
stead of wiaterlng where they are. The

attempt to turn Mukden now, and will
not be even if Port Arthur falls and
10000 re-enforcements are sent mp to
join Field Marshal 0yama. In the mean
time, Russian troops are piiing up be-
hind Mukden.
In February, before the port OF
