forces at any one point. Tho resump-
ton of the Japanese advance Is now
expected 10 occur any day. but ii Is
not improbable that several days will
intervene before the armies come 10
close quarters. The interval is being
devoted on both sides TO feeling out
the strength and disposition of oppos
ing forces. The Japanese probably
will attempt to capture the passes OF
the Da-Mountain range running half
way between the Hun and Taitse riv-
ers. Possession of these passes is i'm
portant for the Japanese as 1t will
not only enable ;hem to march north
ward, but also screen the movements
of their troops from the prying gaze
Of Russian scouts.
II is fully appreciated here the Jap
anese must try for the possession of
Mukden as otherwise it will be diff
ficult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. The average
winter temperature there is forty de.
grees below zero and the cold is in.
tensified by continual winds and an
almost entire absence of snow.
In spite of this. however. the cam
paign probably will continue during
the winter IL the japanese succeed in
getting into Mukden. In this contin-
gency Kuropatkin for various reasons
will not be likely TO allow the Japan
ese to remain in the undisturbed pos
session of this point
II Is important not only from a
strategic but political point of view.
