utter cheerful word in place of the

MEAGER NEWS COMES

Turning Movement.
St Petersburg, Oct. S.-1:3O p. m.
The meagerness of the news from
the front is increasing the uncertainty
'egarding the developments. There IS
good warrant for the belief that Gener
al Kuropatllin is strengthening his left
flank to meet the japanese turning
movement, his troops occupying a tri-
angle, from Fushun to Mukden and
Tie Pass. Over 300 guns have arrived
at the front and the activity of the
Russian skirmishers below the Hun
river creates the impression that .Ku.
ropatkin may contemplate assuming
the offensive.
The war office, however, gives no
encouragements of this idea, though
naturally, if such movement is con-
tcmplated, the war office could not be
expected to admit it.
