st. Petersburg. Sept. 20, 2:15 n, III.
There is n story afoat that n sud
den call has been issued to officers
OF the guard regiments stationed at
st. Petersburg to report for service
at the front. According TO reports
the order directs that eight out OF
total of SO officers of each regiment
should be chosen by lot, and drafted
to serve with regiments now in the
far east. 1t Is stated that the order
has aroused great discomfort. Whole
regiments are anxious to go to the
theatre of war, but the officers in
tensely dislike the prospect of the or
ganizations being split up. 1t Is i'm
possible at this time to obtain an
authoritative confirmation or denial
of the report.

Not Likely at MukGen.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10, 6:56 p. m
While still insisting that Gen. ku-
ropatkin has sufficient troops at Muk-
den to contest the Japanese advance
the war Office admits that 1t Is not
likely that a decisive battle VIII De
fought there. Everything goes to
show that the main Russian position
is now at Tie Pass, llanked by hills
out on the left an by the river on the
right.
Official reports to the war Office are
to the effect that the Japanese die
not make any further move toward
Mukden until September II, when
reconnoisances in force disclosed that
they were still massing at Yentai ana
Bentsaiputze. No Japanese have been
discovered east of the latter point.
The reconnoisances, KurOpatkn says,
were brilliantly carried out by Gen
erals Samsanoff and Rennenkampl's
Cossack brigades, with mixed de-
tachment of infantry and artillery,
under Rennenkampf' personal com
mand. They captured village north
of Bentsiaputze. which was used as
a pivot. The Russians drew off later,
losing few men killed or wounded,
after securing valuable information
regarding the Japanese strength and
position. A couple Of days ago, Gen.
Mitschenkos' detachment OF CossacKs
reconnoitered toward Yentai, at the
cost of few score wounded as report
ed in the Associated Press dispatch
from Mukden, September l6.
kuropatkn Reviews Troops.
Gen. Kuropatkin says he reviewed
yesterday the 37th division which was
then lust arriving at Mukden. II
belongs TO the first European corps,
of which the 22nd division, General
Afanzovitch reached Liao Yang in
time to take part in the battle there.
The appearance of the newly arrived
European troops at Mukden, instead
of being evidence of the complete
Russian concentration there, as many
persons hastily assumed. Is more ike
ly due to the decision of Gen. Kuro-
patkin to get these fresh and untest-
ed troops In contact with the Japan
ese and give the soldiers who suf-
fered the brunt Of the fighting at
Liao Yang an opportunity to rest and
rccuperate.
Gen. Kuropatkin has ordered the
issue Of heavy winter clothing In the
middle of October. The Russian
troops have already exchanged their
summer khaki for their ordinary
cloth uniforms.
