The - The frontal attack on. the Yental mlnea developed a desperate battle in which prolmbly 100,000 a ten are en. gaged; but though the dispatches so far deal almost exclusively with this feature of the battle. It ia pointed out that there is a much wider field involved. A fight on the Russian left flank baa not yet developed and posInsibly here General Kuropatkin tends to deliver his main blow. While It la now asserted that General Kuropatkin enjoya a considerable numerical superior force, the main fear expressed is that this superiority ia insufficient to enable him to carry out the big operations he baa undertaken. Apprehension is caused by tha Tokio dispatch aaylng that Flyld Mar ahal Oyama report that he is gaining ground and has cut off n Russian column below the Taitae river. It is only natural, after the repented reverses already Buffered, that Russians fully realise how much General Kuropatkin has staked on the assumption of the defensive. The battle now in progress will undoubtedly outweigh in importance the hard fight at Liao Yang. Defeat would certainly spell ruin for Kuropatktns military reputa- tlon and probably prove a uaaster of the first magnitude to thd ' Russian army. If the Japanese should roll up Kuropatkin advance now, nil hope of an aggressive Russian success in this campaign, or of relief of Port Arthur would be ended probably for this year, means n winter but even auceeee-noenhanced campaign and immensely prestige, not only for Kuropatkin per tonally hut fur the Russian army in Manchuria, in the eye of tfie Chinese, which-an important factor in the present situation. .
