tivity has been resumed in the theater
OF war. 1t Is believed here that gen

eral advance along a broad front.

Besides this direct movement, the
Russians are attempting to strike the
Japanese right at two points widely
separated.
A considerable force of Russians
of the enemy crossed the Taitse river
