The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-09-16

One of the big heroes of the Russo
Japanese war is out to make another
reputation in the present conflict. He
is Lieut.. Gen. Rennenkampf, who, as
commander of division, was con-
slant obstacle to the Japanese in that
war.
Rennenkampf played a brilliant
part in ManchuTia and was promoted
from major general to lieutenant
general and otherwise honored dur
ing that war. He commanded a cav
airy division and a brigade of infan-
try under Count Keller, who con-
frOnted Gen. Kuroh's army on the
march to LaO-yang.
Rennenkampf showed himself a
determined, energetic and enterpris-
ing commander and was a perpetual
thorn in the side of the Japanese and
was Keller's right arm until the bat
tie Of TOwan, where, most Unfortu-
nately, Keller was killed and Rem
nenkampf was wounded.
AS a consequence, he was not able
to take part in the battle of Lao
yang. --.-.- -.r---
The high esteem in which he was
held was Illustrated in the battle of
Mukden, when he was hastily shifted
from the extreme right Of the Rus

sian forces to the extreme left, owing
to the inability Of Gen. Alexiev, COM
handing in that quarter, to check the
rapid thanking movement of the jap
anese army under Gen. Kawamura.
Rennenkamp speedily brought
Kawamura to a halt, inficting very
severe losses, and the Japanese were
unable afterward to dislodge him.
It is doubtful if any other Russian
wrung such an enhanced reputation
from that disastrous war as did Gen.
Rennenkampf.

Beyond all bounds Of space or time.
