IN THE FAR EAST.

The New York World of Thursday
gives the following Interesting resume
Of the war situation in the far East
Toxic reports show that during the
last few days the Japanese lanl forces
have been feeling the enemy's lines
mcrc aggressiyely. St Petersburg
hears that a strong Japanese force is
heading for Kirin, beyond reach OF
the Russians eastern outposts.
For weeks the Manchurian plains
have been deep in mud. A thaw set
in soon after the battle Of Mukden.
Even if Oyama's troops had not been
exhausted by furious fighting and
forced marches extensive operations
would have been impossible. With
spring Oyama's opportunity to strike
again has come. His losses have been
replaced by fresh drafts. He has had
time to rest his men. to repair the
railroad, ana TO bring up supplies for
q campaign against Hardin and Nladi-
yostok. His army is probably strong
er than it was before Mukden. The
appearance of Rojestvenshy's feet In
the Pacific should have been sufficient
werning to Japan that its GaHchurian
army must be provided with men and
munitions against a possible tempo
rary interruption of sea communion
ton.
Linevitchs main army still lies ath-
wart the Port Arthur-Harbin railroad
After the Mukden disaster. where
more than one-third OF Kuropatkin's
army was lost, the Russian rear-guard
did not halt until it was more than
100 miles north Of Mukden. It imme-
diato duty is to oppose the passage
OF the Sungari river by Oyama. To do
this is must hold the old Chinese city
of Kirin. the eastern terminus Of six

main line half way between Mukden

MY guess. perhaps, is no better than

But one thing On which all auhori-

less true, is that the Russian fleet is
numerically and in tonnage and arma-
ment stronger than the forces Of the
Japanese, They have several more
heavy fighting ships according to re
