LONDON, Sept. 2-The well-laid plans
Of General Kuropatkin have all gone
wrong and Liao-Yang, instead OF be
coming a trap for the Japanese. has
proven the scene Of a reverse to Rus
sian arms to all appearances the worst
in her history.

bined forces Of Generals Oku and Nod

result Of General KurolCis masterful

been forced 70 abandon Liao-Yang. and
his forces in great confusion have
crossed the Taitse River retreating to-
ward Mukden.
The Russian version of the latest move
In this greatest Of all conflicts says the
retreat across the Taitse must not be
considered IN the light Of retreat,
but as part OF a well-defined plan, the
object Of which is to separate the op-
posing japanese forces by the deep.

Field Marshal Oyma. however. in COM
nand Of the combined Japanese armies.
takes a far different view Of the mat
ter. His official report Of the battle
OF LiaO-Yang states that the Russian
withdrawal from the left side Of the
Taitse was the result Of their inability
10 stand the fierce japanese fire.
Oyama's Terse Report.
His official report reads:
The enemy. being unable TO resist our
fierce attack. began retiring on Septem-
Der /, toward L1ao-Yang. Our left and
central divisions are hOtly pursuing the
enemy who. in great confusion, are try
ing to retire to the right bank OF the
