Tells Different Story From General

] els Dinerent story General
kuropatkin.
Odessa-General Kaulbars. governor
general of Odessa, today said the
charges brought against him by Cen
eral Kuropatkin in his book on the
Russo-Japanese war, were entirely
false. He continued:
"On the eve Of the battle of Febru-
airy %, 1904, the Russians were camped
between the Sha and Hun rivers. l
submitted to Kuropatkin a plan, SUBJ
sequently rejected, to attack jointly
the Japanese from our entertainments,
the Japanese having none The de-
feat was chiefly due to Kuropatkin's
removing my reserves to reinforce our
left, thus running into a trap of the
Japanese, whose demonstrative ad-
on their right effected the de-
sired concentration Of our troops on
our left. My forces consequently were
inadequate to repulse the thanking
movements Of Nogi's Port Arthur
army. Moreover, my army was en-
trenched with 1870 guns for an at
tack on Sandpur when Kuropatkin in
stead ordered me to. oppose Nogf.
whom, with his reserves, he could
easily have beaten.
ION February 81 my army effective
ly covered the retreat of the other
armies. 1t was hunmanely impossible
to do more to save the battle, in which
l lost $4,000 men,
In conclusion General Kaulbars
points out that the real causes of Rus
sian defeat were the lack of patriot
ism, and the revolutionary ideas with
which the reserves were imbued, and
the activity of the Chinese bandits in
obstructing the railroads.
