reasonable methods and the high

til we are Hrst assured tbat our in

Intelligent officers. We therefore ask
our brothers in the west not to get
discouraged by the crushing defeat
they have received, but build up
your organisation on a more 8 'lid
basis and some day In the future
when you' action will be wiser and
your officers sane, we will be only

Marshal Oyama'a tired troops aban
doned the attempt to head off Geo
ral Kuropatkln, whose army baa
irrived safely at Mukden after a
frightful experiences in floundering
through 'mud and moreover tbe Man

It is evident tbat tbe last deter

Kuropatkln tu nay has been made
out the Russian commander-in-chief
lact-d about two corps with artillery
ind heat off tbe Japanese, while the
remainder of tbe ttoops continued

Ihe Japansee could only hang onto
Ihe flanks and try to shell the re
treating columns from the hills.
The outposts are still in contact,
ant they are not even exchanging
shots.
An impenetrable curtain seems to
have 02en rung dowu on ths exact
situation at the theater or war. Tbe

ticaliy no newspaper dispatches have
been coming through troiu the frontv

the Russian transpoit is over. Tha
Japanese have crossed the Sbakhe
and are now resting. Only the Rus
ilaii and Japaneso outposts are In
direct contact. Thousands orwouod

The Russo-Japanese bank at Muk
den bas been closed and tbe civil
authorities are preparing to leave
Tha Russian retreat here has baen
accomplished without losses and
witb the precision or a review at
Krasnoye-Selo. The accumulation
of wounded between Lloa Yang and
Mukden tested to tbe utmost tbe
resources of tbe Red Cross. Most of
tbe transport was carried lo tte
roughest kind of two wheeled carta,
but tbe arrangements for providing
the troops witb fQod along tbe UCB
of retreat worked magnlncently.
During the Ave days from August 34
