St. Petersburg, Sept. 1, 2 a. ni. With the knowledge that the Russian
and Japanese armies about Lia.i Yang are locked in a death struggle the
tension in St. Petersburg tonight is strained to the utmost. It la believed
litre that the fight cannot stop short of a crushing defeat for one side or the
other. , ,,,!
All reports so far are favorable ti the Rustlans. It is ct.ited officially
that the report that the railroad lines and telegraph lines have been cut
north of Liao-Yang Is untrue.
The highest military authorities here consider that tho most critical
stage of the battle has not yet been reached and they believe the fight may
continue some time before either side acknswledges Its defeat. .This is ar,
Important consideration by the light of which to Interpret any immediate n
ewe. M4TsU".
It Is thought here that, in view of the numbers engaged, desperatene?
. of the assaults and the length of the line, seven miles, looses in the two
days fighting cannot fall short of 1C.0C0 on each side. ' '
Both sides are straining every nerve, realizing that ths fortures of the
war fcr the whole year are in the Sc-Jc, and neither side Is in a mood or po
sition to spare men in an effort to ac'iieve final victory.
. The battle of Liao-Yang will prcbibly rank as one of the grca.est san
guinary battles sf history. It is believed by the general staff thai the Jap
anese armies engaged number seventeen divisions of 15,000 men e. ch. or al
lowing for inefficients, about 240.COO men. .Each division has thirty-six
guns and there are two independent artillery brigades with 100 gjns each,
malting a total of about 800 guns.
In the preliminary fighting Monday the Russians captured 220 pri--ers
who have already arrived at Harbin and 'the report persicts th- ity
captured over 40 Japanese guns yesterday. ,
Gen. Kurcpatkin's effective fcrcc is variously estimated at from 170,000
to 200,000 men. The Japanese Wednesday mornirg attacked thrjc sides of
the Russian position. .The Associated Press correspondent also menti is
the Japanese movement northeast of Liao-Yang, showing that the Japans
were undoubtedly trying to workaround Ku'opatkin's rear. 1

It would seem that human endurance cculd not persist much longtr without

The Japanete are reported to be using morUrs to drop shells In the
Russian positions. These are probably the high angle fire howitzers which
were reported as being In action earlisr in tc week.
It is plain, however, that the Japanese arc no longer enjoying the super
iority in artillery which stood them in such good stead In tec earlier
months of the war. It was then hill fijhting and the Japanese mountain
batteries, in which arms tr.t Russians were deficient, told wth deadly ef

Russian field guns and the Russian civalry can come uit mere effective
use.

regiments of Japanese at day break attempted to capture the batteries of
