$lOKl S ARMY, NEAR T1ELING, March
(Correspondence to the Associated
J'ress The first realization of the im
mensity of the Jaitfinese forces was brought
home to the observer ahtn the two central
armies roiled across Hie Shaho on the
morning cf March In the wake nf the re
treating RuBKlans. Hitherto during the
buttle parts of two or three brigades of in
fantry, with few battalions of reserves, a
dozen or more batieries, with pack trains
and field hospitals, were all that one per
son could see in the mountainous country
of the great armies engaged But when the
whole array movd northward, with Its
Impediment following. It was an Impressive
bust. UuoktnK from the heights where the
Russian batteries had been one could sec
r.ary khaki colored processions for miles
on either band emerging from the valleys
and passes where the Japanese had been
concentrating since October, streaming
across the dry bed of the river and the
rarrow channels of ice and winding away
among the hare hills and sandy plains
northward 11 was a businesslike army.
aathed tn dark blue and khaki, with no
apectacuiar show of gold braid, nor brass.
nd hardly a touch of color except the
scarlet blankets worn over the shoulders.
Most of the ranks were boys yet. but they
were tvuhned by a year of campaigning
Into hardy veterans. They filodded on
sUirnlly, as usual, w Ith no show of rejoicing

Vsnchuria was spreading at the rale of two

For ten days from that morning the
w hole country within the area of the fight
ing was covered with a mist Of fine dut
stirred up by the feet of more than a mil
lion men and animals. It never settled for
a minute, It choked the throat and blinded
the ees slfled under rlothlng. made food

ttames from burning houses and stacks of
grain showed through it in the nights like
the moon through a fog The sandstorms
which began on the second day of the pur
suit apd continued at intervals for a week
came from the north directly into the faces
of the Japanese and made the discomfort
and hardship worse. There was great con
trast between the icountry' south of the
Shaho and north of tt. The villages toward
Mukden were larger and more prosperous,
with better buildings, and the picturesque
temples and tombs surrounded by groves
of dark green firs made a welcome pano
rama to the eyes of the men from beautiful
Japan who had spent months among the
dreary and monotonous hills. Chinese fam
ilies grthered in front of their bouses and
greeted the Japanese with shouts. Doubt
less they were equally ready to e eclat m
the Russians and denounce the Japanese
when it was politic. Outside the larger
towns Chinese offlciuls wearing their robes

banners and soldiers In gaudy un'forms. re

Kurokl and bis staff rode into the village
w here his headquarters are now through a
double file of villagers kneeling on both
siies of the road
The hegtnnlng of the Russian retreat
from the Shaho was orderly and they left
a clean field None of their jmrtaiile effects
worth taking had been abandoned, except
hundreds of stacks of tin cases In the
trenches and huts containing cartridgea
Retreat a aermsakle.

Kurokl's troops overtook their rear guards
eight or nine miles north of the Shaho and
from that time the retreat became a
scramble for safety. At the various supply
stations huge piles of grain were fired and
smouldered for days. The pursuit con
tinued all through the night of the eighth
and the right division of Kurokl's army
came to the branch line of railroad run
ning from Mukden to the mines at Fushan.
On the morning of the ninth the sand
storm hetac which threw both sides into
confusion and made orderly retreat or
pursuit on a large scale Impossible. AU
the telegraph wires connecting the head
quarters and the different divisions were
blown down so that each contingent pro
ceeded largely on Its own responsibility.
The left division c-ossed the Hunho undet
cover of the thlk dust clouds without a
battle. Apparently the Russian com.
mander was afraid to risk a defense on
such a day, even In the elaborate works
which should have made the Hunho the
most formidable line of defense, perhaps
ttecause his own men were In a panic.
Probably this was the decisive day of the
liattle. for the Japanese forces west of
Mukden were being pressed hard and the
brigade, or the extreme left, was almost
wiped out. Had Blldering repulsed Kurokl
two or three days at the Hunho the Rus
sian reserves might have been able to
turn the tide at Mukden. Good general
ship and good fortune made history other
wise. Kouropatktn had hurried his reserves
from Mukden east to Fushan as the Jap
anese had planned that he should, and
then hurried them back to Mukden, but
only too late. The Japanese center army
from Kurokl's left was pushing past Muk
den to the north and Kurokl s left divi
sion was marching still further north,
protecting its right flank. Having lost
the Hunho the Kusaian, general army left
Mukden to its fate and continued Its now
disorderly retreat to Tiehllng. That all
their d.-ad were left w here they feli showed
what the retreat bad beoome. On the
morning of the tentn the left division
again encountered the Rusalan rear guard
In considerable force northeavt of Mukden
and as the Russians attempted to make
a stand they were beaten In two engage
ments, and In the afternoon the division
arrived at Ui tow a ot (Mat- taa miles
beyond Mukden on the main road from
Mukden to Tiehllng.
Mew earl 7 Exkssitrd.
Tntll the 10th the army had been pushed
forward day end night In the face of every
difficulty to draw the attention of the Rus
sians from Mukden, .and the men were
nearly exhausted by their forced march.
The military roads from Fuahun to Tieh
llng wound along the plains among sharp
hillB. and the division followed this to get
to the north of Mukden, while General
Linevitch took mot of his men directly
north through the mountains with the Jap
anese right army pursuing. Several times
the Japanese had brushes with the rear
guard, but no Important action until the
11th, when they approached the range of
high, steep hills seven miles southeast of
Tienling, which was strategically the
strongest defense of the city. There was a
broad, level plain in front of the hills and
no avenue of approach for an attacking
force except to cross thin plain under such
cover as could lie found in the gullies and
behind occasional ridges. Consequently it
was decided to attempt the night attack
with the bayonets once more, and thus the
first line of trenches below the hills was
gained. For the general advance in the
morning of the 14th two battalions were as
signed for a frontal attack, one for a di
version on the right and the largest force
of eight, on the left.
A direct charge upon the main trenches
was Impossible because the slope before
them was almost too steep to be scaled
even with no resistance. A lower hill to
the west and In front was vulnerable on
its west flank and after an artillery en
gagement the main bdy occupied this
Night stopped the fighting and before
morning the RusKlans had retired In haste,
leaving 2ue dead, while the Japanese had
si0 casualties. The last stand of the Rus
sians liefore Tienling was on a chain of
hills S.O0C meters southeast of the city
equipied elaborately with a long etiain of
trenches and well constructed gun po
sitions, which they held with twenty-four
guns.
Rasaiaw Klawk Exposed.
While the general of division was recon
noitenng the positions on the afternoon of
Lbs liiih another Jajia&aa brujada from Ute
south ttegan to engage one of the Russian
batteries. This partly exposed the Russian
flunk to the enemy and thirty-six Japa
nese guns were concentrated in a bombard
ment of that position. Darkness again In
terrupted the work after an hour's bom
bardment and again the Russians retreated,
abandoning without serious resistance their
most valuable depot between Mukden atid
Harbin, which was their strongest military
position as well. General Kouropatkln had
been there in his special train until the
afternoon of the ifith. It was said. When
the first Japanese company entered the
settlement at 1 o'clock in the morning they
captured the station master and two other
officers who had been left with orders to
apply the torch et the last moment, but
only a few buildings were burned and
there were valuable stores of munitions
undamaged.
No more dramatic encounters occurred
during this eventful week than the capture
of the Fifth and Nineteenth regiments of
Russian rifles by Kuroki's left division on
the morning of the 11th. In the panic
which prevailed at Mukden then these two
regiments left et S In the morning with no
general commanding them, and a mixed
crowd of soldiers from other organisations
and camp followers attaching themselves
to the retreat.
When the two forces discovered one an
other they quickly formed into fighting
line and the Russians came on with the
officers In front of the ranks to attempt
to cut their way through The contact
was so sudden that there was no oonfuslon
at first. In which the Japanese general and
his staff with two foreign attaches came !
fleeing every direction, some trying to get
back to Mukden, others to find roads of
escape northwards, and many hiding In
the ravines and in Chinese houses. How
ever brave they were in fighting when cor
nered some made spectacles of themselves
hardly to be expected from men of a mil
itary race. Doubtless the men were un
nerved by the strain of long fighting, but
the Siberians captured earlier In the wa
bore themselves with the dignity of sol
diers. Whether the European troops who
have been sent to the east are the best
quality of the Russian army there Is no
means of Judging, but certainly they have
not eomiared favorably in physique or
fighting qualities with the Slteriitns. par
ticularly the EJiFt Siberian sharpshooters.
That is the opinion of the Japaneue of
ficers The total of prisoners taken that
day was nearly 4,noo. They were a fierce
and savage looking crowd, all wearing big
black and white sheepskin huts, many in
dirty fur coats, most of them heavily
Iiearded. all unwashed for days. Among
the officers were several old men, one ol
the-n a veteran of the Russo-Turklsh war
with s white beard hanging to his waist,
who gave his age as 71. The next morn
ing they went down the road In a big
cloud of dust a long and picturesque pro

their officers riding In Chinese carts and
Jeering Manchurlans running along the
flanks to Join the army of Russians In

under the fire of the Japanese rifles and
guns.
F'tgbt Short sii Derisive.
The fight was short and decisive. The
Russians could not stand In the open
fnids under the shrapnel and Bfon scat
tered like sheep, while many parties waved
towels and handkerchiefs to surrender.
The Japanese had only casualties, while
dend end wounded Russians were all over

The antitoxin for laziness is more than s
Joke. It Is a genuine product of science.
The discovery is based upon the theory that
physical exhausnion is the result of a poison
in the tissues caused by strain To use a
mechanical figure: The furnace fires of the
body are forced and fanned into tremtn
dous heat. In the combustion of the fuel the
grates are clogged with cinders. These cin
ders left over In the tissues are poison The
pnison Is counteracted by the counter poison

Bald Heads and Disease.
There are advantages accruing even from
bald heads. It Is pointed out by a writer
In a medical Journal that bald-headed men
never suffer from consumption and that a
tendency to baldness is an assurance that
the dreaded scourge will pass over him
whose thatch grows thin.
At first glance It would seem absurd tc
argue that a man's hair Is indicative of his
Immunity from disease, but the writer who
advances this novel theory declares that
In the five yeurs during which he seriously
added a record of his patients' hair or lack
of it his case cards have failed to show a
single Instance of "bald" being entered
upon the card of a consumptive.
He had under treatment more than TO
cases and he makes the further statement
that in a census of more than o.OOO tuber
culosis cases he failed to discover a single
sufferer who was bald.
He makes no effort to explain his theory
Upon medical grounds, but simply offers
the results of his observation for the bene
fit of the profession and has incited his
brother physicians to write him of any case
of a bald-headed consumptive coming under
their observation.
