WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Kuro pathin Has a Job to Get His
Army in Shape to Fight again.
GFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. Sept. At is expected here that
there will be fighting for the next few
days but only such as is necessary TO cover the
retreat Of the Russia rs to Moukden. and II is
not believed that the stand at Yentai will result
in any benefit to the Russians except to hold
back the pursuing japanese. 1t Will take days
for General Kuropatkin to get his troops in
shape to take the offensive with any show Of
success and It is believed here that he will re-
tire to Moukden before undertaking a reorgani-
cation of his forces. The opinion is expressed
that the Japanese will not undertake to
force a battle at Moukden, but knowing that
the Russians are in a bad way and unable to
give any serious trouble for time. it is
thought likely that Field Marshal Oyama will
now send part of the Manchurian forces south
to assist in the attack Port Arthur.
1t is thought here that the movement against
General Kuropatkin was for the purpose OF
driving him so far north that he would be
able to assist the Port Arthur garrison. and IN
this the Japanese have already succeeded. 1t
now remains to press home with vigor the at
tack on Port Arthur, and by hurting an over
whelming force on the forts. capture that place
before General kuropatkin RECEIVERS from his
whipping.
1t is pointed out here that Il would be dan
gerous for the Japanese to attempt TO follow the
retiring Russians too far north, and thereby ex-
tend their line Of communication which is al
ready long enough The retirement OF the Rus
slams shortens General Kuropatkin's line of
communication. while the pursuit of the Jap
anese extends theirs. 1t is, therefore, of the ut
most iInportanNe that the japanese be not drawn
too far from their base. and it is of equal impor-
lance that they capture Port Arthur as soon as
possible and make that their base With the
freedom of the sea and Port Arthur in their
possession the Japanese will, il is believed, re-
organize their forces and get ready for winter
campaign.

Auxerre, France. Sept M. Combes, the
Premier, made an important speech here to-day.
II reviewing the policy of the government in
the last two gears he declared that the munich
pal and department elections had given full evil
dence that it was approved by the country. Re
garding the future. the Premier said that he
would continue To carry out his policy for ma

of society. The religious power had openly torn
up the Concordat and it was not his intention
TO try to mend it.
The risk of France losing her position the
protector of eastern Catholics. the Premier said
was a wholly insufficient motive for foregoing
the separation of church and state, which cir
cumstanCes had obliged him to inscribe on his
programme alongside the reduction of military
service, the income tax and Workmen's pensions,
NJ. Combes was heartily applauded.
