fact that the captain OF one of the
teams was this same little girl who
was 50 lustsly encouraging her team
mates. Playing there with thinteea
small boys. she showed herself the
equal Of any one of them, and her in

Wa-Tzu. situated az the crossing of tho
Sungari river. whence he is directing
the retreat OF the three Russian armies
and disposing OF the fresh troops of the
Fourth corps just arriving from Euro
pean Russia.
The protection of the Sungari bridge
Is vital TO the salvation Of the army, as
the river Is not fordable below Kirln.
Once the line OF the river is passed and
lhe bridge blown up the Japanese pur-
suit will, II is thought. be effectually
checked.
At the same time the Second army
Is falling back on the line OF the rail-
road. while the First and Third armies,
with the transport. are retreating along
the Mandarin road to Kirin. both de-
Btroying bridges and roads. denuding
the country behind them and making
II impossible for the Japanese TO live
IN the immediate wake OF the retreat
without their own commissariat.
Apparently it is a question as to
which army will outmarch the other,
although the general staff seriously
doubts the ability Of Field Marshal

flculties of getting guns, ammunition
and provisions over the ruined roads

The appointment is gazetted in the

teered TO remain In any capacity with
the army which he had so kong com
manded. The tender has beon accepted
by Emperor Nicholas and gratefully
received by the new leader Of the
grand army.
The change exactly reverses' the old
order Of affairs. when Kuropatkin was
the supreme leader and Linevitch di'
rected the first army.
