critics-Apparent BIunders, Such
as ZassaItch's Fight on the YaIu
and Stakeiberg's March, Seen to
Have Had Valuable Results-Now
Able to Accept Battle.
st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Experts
who, until recently, were inclined to
criticise General Kuropatkin's manage
nent OF affairs in the far East, de-
clare. as the situation develops, that
his strategy has proved, so far, beyond
reproach. He has successfully tided
over a pressing danger-how pressing
only those in close touch with the far
East realize. His apparent mistakes,
like the prolonged resistance offered by
Lieutenant General Zassalitch on the
Yalu, turn out to be acts Of the nigh
est military judgment. General kuro-
patkin then had so few and such poor

would have had an easy task to crush
the main force Of Russians. had they
been permitted to cross the Yalu with
out severe punishment, and the thous-
ands lost by Zassalitch practically
saved Lao Yang, Zassalitch, until dis
graced, occupied an important staff po-
sition. General Baron Stakelberg,s
march, which also was criticised, is
now admitted to have been necessary.
The march was a reconnaissance on
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 retreating
column, and thus distracting attention
from the vulnerable spot between Lao
Yang and Mudkden. Meanwhile, the
rnen at Kuropatkin's headquarters are
improving. Fifty thousand OF the best
troops from European Russia have
reached Lao Yang within month, and
il the Russian commander-in-chief IN
he far East now chooses to accent a
battle. he will be able to inflict heavy
blow. All Russia is looking forward
with confidence to the issue OF the
fight.
