ST. PETERSBURG. August 2-2:ss a.
M.-The greatest anxiety prevails here for
news OF the general advance against the
southern and eastern positions Of General
Kuropatkin's army. The public believes
that the decisive battle OF the campaign
is being fought but this has not yet been
established. S Ind eed, the Associated Press
hears from the lkeenest military attaches
in ST.. Petersburg that for several days
the main body OF the Russian a my has
( been moving north towards Mukden. and
that when the present line to the south
east is forced the Japanese will find that
they have crushed only the she'll. Should
this prove to be So, General Kuropatkin.

lind this is the way:
Cut around the circle that divides

cut out the round men at the top. This
is all the cutting you will have to do.
When you turn the teetotum you

any odd number-it all depends OH

ting, you have made a royal strike
