President Roosevelt passed the first
Sunday after his inauguration quietly

anticipation of his leaving the White
House thousands of people gathered

st. Petersburg, March 6, 1925 q. m
The fate of General Kuropatkin and
his army hangs in the balance today
depending on the result of the fight
ing almost in the outskirts of Mukden
According to latest reports this morn.
ing the fighting went we'll for the Rus
SLAMS, who beat back the wave that
threatened to roll over Mukden as II
had over the Notifications of Port
Arthur. but nothing is known as to
what is going on beyond the line OF
breakers; whether part Of General
Nogis force, is in full career for Tie
pass or whether the Japanese have
staked all in a cast against Mukden.
The imminence of the peril on the
west wing has withdrawn attention
from the operations on the center and
left where the fighting has been ex.
tremely heavy. and on the left, es.
pecially. where the Japanese gains are
sufficiently great to cause apprehen.

airy" They entered the battle with
the greatest dash and fought day after
day with vigor, but those of them who
were taken prisoners dropped to the
ground utterly exhausted and hardly
able to speak. They had not eaten
for two days which accounts in part
for their utter fatigue.
General Kuropatkin's line Of com
munications has not been touched
though 1t is in extreme jeopardy.
At the close Of yesterdays battle on
the west front the Japanese who were
taken prisoners were unable to walk
or remain awake on account Of ex.
haustion, and lay like dead under the
guard. This incident shows the tre
mendous effort back Of General Nogi's
engagement.

THE JAP FLANkiNo MOVEMENTS.
The Past Week Saw Fierce Fighting
In the Far East.

IN the T ar East.
The week closed In Manchuria with
nearly million men engaged in the
fiercest conflict OF the war. 1t is about
a week since Kuroki first began his
attempt to envelop the Russian left
flank. This was followed by a Jap.
anese demonstration at the center.
manifestly to prevent reinforcements
being sent to the Russian left, and at
last the entire line became engaged.
with the Japanese left trying to get
around the Russian right and possibly
slip In between Mukden and the Rus
SLAMS rear.
AS a result OF this swift and savage
advance, the Russians are said to be
retiring with a view to taking up q
defensive position at Tie pass. where
preparations for q stand were made
last fall.
The fanking movement has been
the favorite military device Of the JAP
anese. and while It has not resulted In
the development of the enemy. 1t has
rarely failed to result In a Russian re-
triement. At the Yalu, at Tellisu, at
Liaoyang and at the Shake It was
the desperate effort Of the Japanese to
get around one or the other tanks OF
the enemy that caused the Russians
to fall back. At Tellisu General Stalk.
elberg tried to turn the Japanese left,
but before his troops had fairly begun
their advance he was obliged to recall
them because Of a flank movement
around his own left At Liaoyang 1t
was Kuroki's brilliant dash to the
northeast and around the Russian left
that necessitated Kuropatkin's order
to fall back toward Mukden. When
Kuropatkin attempted in October to
crush the Japanese on his left front
he was quickly stopped In his work
by Oku's decisive flank movement on
the Russian right. and last month
when General Grippenberg attacked
the Japanese left he found himself
nearly outfanked. and because Of al.
legged lack Of support from his COM
mander returned to st. Petersburg in
a hun.

Reports early Tuesday morning show
that the supreme crisis Of the great
battle is at hand. The vast armies
will, in the course Of the day, enter a

Japanese right flank, has thrown his
