Being Harassed BY Japanese Who

Gen. Linovitch Has Hard Task.
st. Petersburg, March 17-1:05 pm
With the Japanese hanging on the
heels and fianks of the remnants OF
the broken. defeated army, General
Kuropatkin, the old idol of the private
soldier, has been dismissed and dis.
graced and General LinevItch, com.
mander of the first army, is appointed
to succeed him in command of all the
Russian land and sea forces operating
against Japan. The word disgrace is
written in large letters in the Ionic i'm
perial order gazetted, which contains
not a single word of praise, and also
dfsposes of the rumor that Kuropatkin
nad asked to be relieved. The Russian
military annals contain no more bit
ter imperial rebuke. While it was
known that the council had already
decided to supplant Kuropatkin after
the Mukden disaster the decision to
confer the task of saving the remain
der of the army on Lieutenant Line.

was necessary.
1t became apparent yesterday morn
ing that KurOpatkin while concentrate
ing for a stand at Tie Pass seemed un-
aware that the Japanese had worked
around westward against and practi-
cally allowed himself to be surprised.
Old reports brought by General Grip
penburg regarding Kuropatkin's fail
ing mentally also had it's influence.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
it was considered imperative in view
of the exceeding perilous position of
the army to turn over it's command to
Linevitch, who alone had been able
to bring off his army in order after
the battle Of Mukden. His record dur
ing the Chinese war had also demon
strated his capacity as a commander
Kuropatkin will return to ST. Peters
burg forthwith.
The task confided to Linevitch OF
withdrawing what is left of the great
army of 100000 men to Harbin is a
desperate one. He is hemmed in on
all sides. General Kawamura, pre-.
sumably, is pressing northwar(
through the mountains eastward ready
to swoOp down. Generals Nogi and
Oku are on the west of the Russian
forces, the whole line of the railroad
is threatened if not already cut, and
Chinese bandits are even reported to
be in the rear Of Harbin. A consum.
nation of the Mukden disaster is fear.

SHE sung not like seraph sweet
She didn't sing at all
But when her boys are on the street
Then you should hear her call!
And at her summons sharp her boys
Came trooping In to her:
They left their playmates, play and noise
Without the least demur.
When 1t was time to go to bed
They slipped In for the night,
And not single word was said
Oh. they obeyed all right!
For, though the woman couldn't sing
Nor or the style take heed,
OF raising boys she knew thing
Or two: she did indeed
For she who wouldn't do her hair
In quite the latest lxink
Could guide her boys with patient care,
Their hearts 20 hers could link;
Could nnd smile for boisterous plays
For boyish hurts kiss.

FORTIFYING THE PASS

ST PETERSBURG, March 14.-Al-
though the general staff refuses to
make public what the position of the
Russian forces is at present, there is
now no reason TO doubt that kuropat-
kin. with approximately 100000 men,
has reached Telling safely.
He IL now engaged in erecting hasty
fortifcations to stem temporarily the
advance of the victorious japanese to
give him time to bring order out OF
chaos before continuing retreat.
The optimistic belief is general here
that Field Marshal Oyama is not in
a position to press a vigorous assault
on Telling at present.
1t is believed he will find it neces-
sary to reform his forces in front OF
the Russians defense before continu-
ing operations.
This will give General KuropatkiI
the all-important time needed to So
Hdify his troops.
