JAPS SHIFT
THEIR ARMY
KprOpatkin Loses Track Of KurOki,
Commanding Right Wing, and
Sudden Move on the Town
From the West Is
Feared.

St. Petersburg, Oct 3.-Alarm is felt at
the War Office because of the sudden
shifting of the Japanese right wing before
Mukden.
The Russians haYe lost trace of General
Kuroki's main force and f. ar is expressed
that the most determined thanking move
ment by the Japs may come from the west
instead of the east, where Kurokl's army
lay until recently.
Kuropalkn had decided that Kurokl
was moving forward to attack and had
prepared for it, believing General Oku'f
move on the west was flint. But from
Mukden tonixht comes report that the
japanese are active westward Of Mukden'
The Russian cavalry forces sre strong in
that direction. A sudden attack from the
west would not be surprising.
KURoKI FOOLS THE ENEMY.
Ten days ago Kuropatkin was convin'
ced that the Japanese we're concentrating
at Sianschan and that an immediate ad-
vance was imminent in force. Accor'
dinghy the Russians fell back from the
passes of the Qa Mountain range. But
after several days they discovered that
the Japanese were not pressing forward
and lhereupon the Russian scouts pushed
out to ascertain the cause. They pene-
trated as far as Sisnschan, bringing back
the, startling intelligence that not more
than a brigade Of japanese troops was
there.
This forthwith was followed by impor-
tant cavalry movements and The re-occu-
patton of the Da range passes, but
Kuroki's main body was not located. 1t
il believed that his main force must still
be between the Yentai Mines and Ben
sihu, five miles east of Yentai Station.
Mukden reports tonight increased &C.
tivlly to the eastward, but that the Japs
are being reinforced, but Kuroki's main
army is missing. A slight Japanese move.
ment has been observed at Fengiiapu,
about sixteen miles southeast, but there
has been no collision.
