ASSAULT EXPECTED DAILY

fully tided over a passing danger, how
depressing only those in close touch
with the Far East realize. Gen
eral Kuropatlzin had such poor
troops at Lao Yang that the Japan
csc would have had an easy task in
crushing the force of Russians had
they been permitted to cross the Yalu
without severe punishment and the
thousands lost by Sasalitch probably
saved Lao Yang.
General Baron Stakelberg's march
which also was criticised, is now ad-
mitted to have been necessary. The
rudiments of war are that the army
should be in constant touch with the
enemy, otherwise it would be impossi-
BILE to know the strength of its OPP
ponents or to be informed of their
movements. General Stakelberg's
march was a reconnaissance on a
grand scale and not only enabled Gen
eral Kuropatkin to ascertain the enc
my's strength and disposition but ma
terially disturbed the Japanese plans
relative to the siege of Port Arthur,
gradually drawing the bulk of the
Japanese army to follow the retreat
ing column and thus distract the at
tention from the vulnerable spot be-
tween Lao Yang and Mukden.
