river at Chuunchatsu, it may be
compelled to retreat not only to
Harbin, but also further westward
along The railroad, abandoning to
the japanese northern Manchuria
and the Rossien Maritime Amur
Siberian provinces, as we'll as the
vast territory already lost, Is the
latest startling news from the
front.
The strategic weakness of
General Llnevitch's position as he
falls back northward Is made clear
by Gunshu dispatch, in which it
pointed out that unless Chunchia-
tsu and the Sangari lines, a scant
100 miles below Harbin, can be
heidi will be difficult to maintain
position farther back before Har-
bin, where, with the front of the
army paralleling the railroad, the
practicability turning movement
to complety sever communications
and isolate the army 5000 miles
| from home is too serious for Rus
sian consideration. That such a
dispatch should have been permit
ed to pass the censor ut the front,
is significant ;and, if General Line
witch has communicated u simi-
lar estimate of the situation di.
rect to emperor Nicholas, it may
account for his mujestys increased
disposition to listen to peace coun
sells and open Negotiations befere
the japanese establish themselves
on Russian soil.
1t can now he definitely stated
that the decision to appoint Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch to
the supreme command in the far
East vas re-considered, because
of the opinion that the outlook at
the front does not warrant the
risk of compromising the prestige
of member of the imperial FAM
lily.
AT the general staff, the view
that General Linevitch may be
compelled to abandon Harbin aad
retire towards Lake Brikal, leav-
ing Vladivostock to Its fate, is re-
CARED as almost unwarranted by
anything that is officially known
there, it is being pointed out that
Field Marshal Oyama may have
long and luborious task to bring
up an army of 800, 200 or 100000
men.
Meanwhile, Russian re-enforce-
ments are arriving at Harbin at
the rate of 1900 men per day.
Nevertheless, it is significant that
there is now wellmarked peace
party at the War Office.
