Japanese must try for the possession
of Mukden, as otherwise it will be diff
ficult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. Liaoyang does
not afford sufficient accommodation.
although many houses there escaped
destruction in the recent battle MoV-
able hutS are quite unsuitable for the
housing of Japanese. owing to the Sc
verify of the climate. The average
winter temperature there is 40 degrees
below zero. and the cold is intensified
by continual winds and an almost en-
tire absence of snow.
In spite of this. however, the cam
paign probably will continue during
the winter if the Japanese succeed
in getting into Mukden. In this con
tingency Gen. Kuropatkin for various
reasons will not be likely to allow the
Japanese TO remain in mndisturbed

St. Petersburg. Sept. 22.-A resump-
tiOn of the Japanese advance is now
expected 10 occur any day. 1t is the
third week since the fighting at Lao
yang, and the Japanese have had time
TO transport reinfOrcemcnts from Yin
kow and bring up sufficient men to
the front to replace their losses, but
it is not improbable that several days
will intervene before the armies come
to close quarters.
The interval is being devoted on
both sides TO feeling out the strength
and disposition of the opposing forces.
The Japanese probably will renew
their attempt 10 capture the passes of
the Da mountain range. running half
way between the Hun and Taitze riv-
ers. The possession of these passes
is important for the Japanese, as it
will not only enable them to march
northward but also screen the move
