No serious Eng-llcritic supposes that Kuropatkin will dream of making such another atadvance tempt to stem the Japanese aa he did at Liao Yaag. If the Russians can reach Harbin they will, according to English opinion, be lucky. Before that becomes a question of moment, however, II is added that tbe the engagements must be fought andeven to risk are expected Japanese heavier casualties than they sustained at Liao Yang in the final endeavor to annihilate General Kuropatkln either on the way to Mukden or in the neighborhood of Mukden itself. The fate of General KuropaLkin's force depends ay tbe English observers of the strugIngle In which they are so fitfully terested, upon tbe Russian general's ability to confine Ibese engagements to rear guard actions.
