the troops soon again, that they must
settle the Japanese promptly and they
were not going home until this hail
been done. The general is understood
to have meant that he would return
from Lao Yang with a large force and
give battle. 1t is pointed out he can
afford to leave comparatively small
garrison at Lao Yang in view OF the
absence of any direct advance from
Seng Wang Cheng and concentration
of the Japanese forces south. In the
opinion Of many conservative military
men Kuropatkin's massing Of troops at
kai Chou does not necessarily indi
cate his intention to give battle, but
merely to check the Japanese advance
and defer occupation of New Chwang,
possession OF which would be a great
advantage to the Japanese during the
rainy season, affording the enemy
housing. accommodations. and enabling
them to land supplies and harass the
Russians. Occupation Of Siung Yo
