Must Fioht or Retreat.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The situa-
ton at the front is regarded as critical
The enveloping movement OF the three
Japanies armies of Generals kuroki,
Nodzu and Oku, around General Kuro-
patliins position appears to be almost
complete. and the extended line Of the
Japanese seems to be the only draw
back to concerted action. 1t is realized
here that the Russian general must
now either fight or withdraw the whole
army northward. He is being closely
pressed at Hai-Cheng. AT that place
kuroki's northern column makes it
extremely dangerous to remain there
because while holding the position to
give battle against the japanese. whose
advance always is notoriously slow and
careful, Kuroki might push thru and
cut his railway communications to
Lao Yang.
While nothing is definitely known.
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing for
either a battle or a retreat. For in
stance, the refusal to accept further
press kilograms from Hai-Cheng is
shown by the fact that one of the coz
respondents of the Associated Press
had to ride thru to Mukden to file an
account of the Tatchekiao fightl This
might be construed either that prepara
tons are being made for retirement
or that the wires are very crowded
incident to a concentration at Hal
Cheng or Liao- Yang.
A few days are expected to deter
mine which course kuropatkin has
selected to pursue.

CHECK NG FORGERIES
Receiver Of GrinneIi Bank Brings Many
Farmers to Town - Spencer Follow
ed vineaux's Plan Of ingenious Forg-

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. Aug. To-day farmers
from all parts Of the county began to
appear in town in response to notices
from the receiver Of the First National
bank, regarding notes held against
them. AS was to be expected many,
and, of course. the first to arrive, were
those upon whom forgeries had been
perpetrated. SO ingenious were the
forgeries that 1t is more likely large
numbers of the notes will have to be
taken into court to prove the fact of
forgery.
Spencer adopted the same method
used by the notorious Vineaux, who
forged life insurance policies. VIZ. to

Spencer had some life insurance. but
it is not known yet whether this can

lao Yang, trying to out flank him on
he right. Still further north, tie Japs
moved forward against Houtsyaze
lwenty- five miles from Liao Yang. AT
III points the Japs employed artillery
o the best advantage. The loss of
Keller who was the first high Russian
military commander to lose his life
this war, is deeply felt in court cir
