ceived by the general staff show that
the Japanese are practically masters of
all of the southern end of the Liao
Tung peninsula save Port Arthur and
the territory commanded by its guns

about is due to the failure of the Rus-

London May 19— It Is considered
that any 4xy may bring news of a
great battle in the Mukden district as
the transport difficulties are believed
to be so great as to make it almost
impossible for General Knropatkin to
effect a rapid retirement
No further news has reached London
throwing light upon the appearance
of Japanese troops northeast of Muk-
den or indicating by what route they
reached that point so unexpectedly
The Japanese are so successful in
hiding their movements that it is only
possible to guess at tbem from the
vague indications in Russian official
dispatches
According to the Standard’s Tien
Tsin correspondent General Knropat-
kin hs left for Harbin Viceroy Alex-
ieff still being at Liao Yang with
20000 troops ‘ r
It is noticeable that Rnssian official
dispatches seldom name the place
whence they are sent
A question greatly discussed in the
London papers ia whether General
Kurqpatkin has succeeded in ascer-
taining that the Japanese are threat-
ening his rear so near the Mukden
line and has been enabled to begin a
retreat of whether he has elected to
fight ’ - '
The Russians were surprised by the
appearance of the enemy at Kai Chau
They were expecting theYalu army
The number of the Japanese force is
not known
New Cliwang— In confirmation of
recent Associated Press dispatches the
Russian evachatton of this' city has
been completed Nothing remains
but the destruction of the gunboat

- It was believed that the Japanese
would move into the interior until
they had thoroughly established their

THE mu BEHIND THE GUN
Is our name for the patent Separating
Grate and Check Plata in the famous
RED RIVER SPECIAL THRESHER
It has the Big Cylinder with lota of
concave and open grate surface
- It has the Man Behind the Gun that
does most of the separating right at the
cylinder- -
Besides these it has all the separat-
ing capacity of othar machines
The average old-style small cylinder
thresher wastes enough grain and time
to pay your thresh bill - -
Why not save the grain ordinarily
put into the straw stack? Why not
save the time which - the ordinary
threshing outfit wastes for yon?
This can be done by employing the
RED RIVER SPECIAL
It runs right along saving yonr grain
and saving time regardless of conditions
