JAPS WANT TO FIGHT
AROUND LAO YANG

Mukden, Oct. g. via Tien Tsin, Oct. 0.
"A crossing of the Taitse river east
of Bensihu by Russian cavalry shows
that the Japanese are retiring on their
position at Lao Yang and in the nest
of hills east of Yentai, as though they
were still desiring decisive campaign
near Lao Yang.
The Japanese, after approaching the
Hun river, appear merely to hold Ku-
rokt's late battle-ground, where cannon
firing on the Russian cavalry occurred
during the morning and afternoon OF
Oct. Z. 1t was quiet there yesterday.
The Japanese right is said to be
guarded by a Japanese force beyond.
where outposts of Cossacks are sta
toned, but no action between the Cos
sacks and Japanese have been report
ed within q week. Iii order TO fetaKe
lost ground the Russians now have to
make a similar move to that of the
Japanese-that Is, to made road ever
a hitherto unmapped region, but the
season being dry is highly favorable
to the task of road making.
The inactivity OF the Japanese IL not
unusual. 1t recalls their retirement
from the vicinity of Kaiehou before
the battle OF vafangoW. It also res
calls Gen. KuTUki's strategy through
out the firing in Molten pass. The
Japanese north front has been situat-
ed on line extending from Bensihu
to the Yentai coal mines and bending
north in the center toward Hua pass.

HOW LONDON VIEWS
KUR0PATKIN'S ORDER

London, Oct. 10.-The new phase of
the war involved in Gen. Kuropatkin's
stirring address to his army Is keenly
discussed by English military critics.
In the light of the probable motives
underlying Kuropatkins decision to
take the offensive it is not forgotten
how recently the Russian plan of cam
paign was represented to be to draw
the Japanese northward in order to at
tenuate their communications, and
hence there is greater surprise at what
is considered a remarkable order.
Various reasons are advanced by the
critics as having possibly actuated Ku-
ropatkin, first, that Japanese inactivi-
ty led him to suppose that he was
stronger numerically; second, that in
trigues connected with the appointment
of new commander-in-ch may
have determined Kuropatkin to pre-
cipitate matters, and, third, according
to the English critics by far the most
acceptable explanation, that he again
has been overruled from st. Petersburg
ana is acting on imperial order.
He seems to be thrusting his head
into the lions jaws" says the Daily
Telegraph, under instructions from ST.
Petersburg to give the Gear victory at
any cost"
The concensus of opinion is that
Field Marshal Oyama has nothing ia
fear from a Russian advance and that
he likely will welcome the prospect of
a decisive battle. since 1t is consid-
cred, after such an order, further re-
without decentralization; and as Spen-
Ger Wilkinson remarks, should Kuro-
patkin be beaten now, nobody will ex-
poet the second Russian army to suo-
coed any better than the first.

ST. PETERSBURG PRESS -
APPLAUDS MOVEMENT.

st. Petersburg, oct. 10, 7:40 a. m.
The news of Gen. Kuropatkin's south
ern movement Is greeted by the press
of st. Petersburg with deep thankful
ness and an expression of confidence
that 1t marks the turning point in the
campaign.
There is little detailed comment on
the situation, but the expectation IL
expressed that the coming battles will
be even more serious than those OF the
past, and that while Russian arms are
destined to ultimate victory, it will be
bought at the expense OF much blood
and suffering, and that IL is a prospect
TO be looked upon seriously and SOL
EMMY without exultation or heroics.
The Russ says
"Our advance has begun. We are
facing a powerful and cunning enemy
The Japanese have not failed to take
advantage of naturally strong positions
and fortlfy them to the utmost. our
movement morally will be easier, be-
cause we are going forward instead
Of retreating, but materially Il will be
even more awful than the past. we
are going 70 Victory, but must be pre-.
pared to pay a heavy price"

Capt Medlioott Of the Royal Irish

plant.

the rifles rang out-there was only his

The elephant, with a scream of triA
umph, withdrew his trunk, and waved
aloft a. remnant OF human clothing
a khaki coat. The captain had lost
his coat. Casting II on the ground,
the huge animal danced with rage on
this outer shell of the human form,
and, having pounded IL into the now
dusty earth, he resumed his search.
The next event, after a prolonged un-
foreground search, was the abstraction
of a shirt which his lordship tore into
'shreds and castwto the four winds of

pair Of trousers, and these, after be-
