Russian Soldiers Did Not Lack In

HOT FIGHTING ON Shake

Headquarters of General Kuroki's Army,
Near Tiehling Pas, Manchuria, March 10
Correspondence of the Associated Press. !
The combination of the most efficient
staff with the bravest ana more intelli-
gent soldiers to execute its plans decided
the mastery of Manchuria. Again the
Russians gave a splendid exhibition OF
the old school of fighting. They were
courageous beyond criticism, and stub
bornly defended their lines but in gen
eralship and the employment of more
modern methods the Japanese surpassed
them Their retreat began in as good
order as that from Lao Yang, but when
the soldiers realized that they were be-
ing surrounded II became a panic with
Incidents which must have been humili-
ating to the officers.
The battle, like Lao Yang, had for the
japanese some days of suspense when it
appeared doubtful if the Russians could
be forced from their positions. 1t was
full of surprises, and the climax, when
Kuroki's soldiers, who judged by all
standards should have been completely ex-
hausted from ten days of fighting and ex
posture, marched rapidly north in a thick
sand storm and appeared across the
Tiehling road beyond Mukden. was 3 de-

road was shelled frequently. The shrap-
mel burst in a cornfeld so near that
frequently they kicked up clouds of dust
almost at the back wall of the generals
house but never quite reached it. In this
village there were Chinese stolidly going

In the fields during the most incessant
fire Four soldiers came across the field
to the village bearing the body of an

about them, but although they shnffled
along at as fast a gait as their burden
would permit they did not drop it.
Left Division Sweeps Over.
Two days after the contingents of Gem
eral Kurolzis left division had secured
their foothold across the Shake the CEN
ter division which had been meeting a
strong opposition beyond the bend of
the river east in very mountainous tract
also swung over. The plan was for them
to cross when the other division did, but
the Russians in front of them were too
strong. Their experience was almost the
same as that of the left division They
found the approaches to the Russian
trenches bristing with wire barriers, with
pitfalls, and all the devices which the
Russians have learned to employ against
night attacks Nevertheless their night
advance to the first line was success
full and like the left division, they stuck
like leeches to the lower slopeS day and
night while the Russians made fierce at
tempts to shake them or. The rigat
division had very hard fight lasting
from the first of March to the morning
of the 9TH at Ofuray, several miles north
east and almost south of Fushun, In their
attempt to turn the Russian flank there in
co-operation with the Yalu army further
to the east The mountains had steep
slopes and pointed SUBMITS with several
rows of entertainments, while the i|s-
slams were equipped with many machine
guns The country was such that the
Japanese could not advance in large
bodies, and must go through narrow
valleys swept by the machine guns and
rifles from the heights. The division
should have waited for the other forces
to attack the Russian flank and make
frontal attack easier for them, but the
right army was meeting equal difficulties
at Bagantan Progress was slow ON the
right of the Japanese line until the Rus
slams began their retreat upon Fushun on
the night of the 9Th and 18th.

Delayed Retreat Too Long.

The Russians about Mukden had de-
layed their retreat too long Only on the
9th Kuropatkin appears to have realized
the danger and warned foreign officers
and correspondents to leave. Those who
started that day are yet with the Russian
army but the others who DELAYED until
the 10th were captured. The Russian SOL
diers expected victory. They were told
that the Russians were winning along the
Shake and at Fushun. When the sol
diers found the enemy approaching from
every side, ignorant peasants deluded with
tales of Japanese atrocities, they scat
tered and fed like sheep, ard being scr-
rounded surrendered in SQUADS to unasmed
Japanese transport men and coolies, beg
ging not to be massacred. Many VINO have

not discovered died from exposure.

Planned Winter Campaign.

The Japanese staff had long ago re-
solved upon a winter campaign. They
would have launched it sooner but were
obliged to await the fall of Port Arthur
for a force large enough to give reason
able assurance of success If Stoessel
had persisted another month the japanese
would have faced the difficult problem of
bridging the rivers to be crossed instead
of walking over on the ice and the odds
against them would have been far great
er. After Port Arthur surrendered 1t was
necessary to reorganize them by filling the
decimated ranks with reserve and to
march them up to Lao Yang. The heavy
seige guns had to be brought north by
trains and foundations constructed for
them Had the Japanese been driven back
from the Shake all of their twenty-eight
centermetre guns would have fallen into
the hands of the enemy. but a Russian
success was not contemplated in the
plans.
These big guns proved as effective in
field fighting as against forts. The shells
tore through the Russian entertainments
and the protected huts though they had
been paper leaving the soldiers without
shelter or refuge from the fire. The cav
airy and Cossacks of which the Russians
have a great force. and which they ex-
pected to play leading part in the op-
erations on level country, were not a
factor in the battle.

Japanese Force Oroanized.

The beginning of the battle found the
Japanese forces organized into five bodies.
Three were along the Shake and west
ward to the Hun. Nogrs veterans were
ready to march northward and attack
Mul1den from the northwest, and they
executed their part of the plans brilliant
ly. On the extreme east was an untried
force which had started In January from
bases on the Yalu and was to make
junction with the japanese right wing
and sweep around to the north of the
Russian lines of defense. It's work was
to outfank Fushan, the terminus of the
Russian branch railroad, and Kuropat-
kins eastern stronghold as Nogi did
Mukden.
Kuropatkln mstool1 his contingent fir
the Port Arthur veterans and paid it the
compliment of arraying a great body of
his best organizations against 1t. Thus
he was able to check it's advance with
strong entranchments on the hills south
of the town of Bagantan fifteen miles
southeast of Fushan for several days and
prevent 1t from fianlxing the body of Line
vitchs army. Along the Shake the Jap
anese armies were the same organizations
although with greatly changed personnel
and altered in details. that met the Rus
SLAMS at Lao Yang. Two divisions of
Kurokfs army were sent eastward soon
as the battle begun, indeed they were on
the march before the opening of the
bombardment, to cooperate with the right
army. There was a break of almost
twenty miles in the line between the
easternmost division and the others at
one time and the ground was covered
only by cavalry brigades and some in
fantry reserves. That division encount-
cred the same experience which befell
/ the Yalu force. and the town of Shateray
! in the mountains northeast of Witesan
was its stumbling block. There was also
an interval left uncovered of some miles
west Of Wtesan between Kurolzi's left
and the right of another army. General
KuroM kept several battalions in reserve

expected attack was never delivered
| Afterward 1t was learned that the Rus
sian line was equally weak along that
stretch of the river, and the Russians
were wondering why the japanese did not

infantry at the front were concealed in
the earth huts and burrows on the slopes

was neither as heavy nor as continuous
as along the lines to the west where the
big guns were planted The japanese
~-ldom engaged their full strength, and
there were few exhibitions of such rapid
fire as was displayed at LAO Yang. Close
by Witesan the japanese had two bat

early exhausted their ammunition be-
