UNEVITCH IS IN COMMAND Kuropatkin in Peep- Disgrace No Word of Praise for Him St. Petersburg, March 18. With the Jap anese on the heels and flanks of the rem nants or the defeated Kussian array, General Kuroptkin, the old ideal of the-fby the "recent; Legislature is ot treneral He Hve8 wilh his' wife who neariog the 1'oes for the following special occasions: century mark. Shadrack - thinks that he Athens, Ga. Summer School. June 27, private soldier, has been dismissed and disgraced and General Lineyitch," com mander or the First Army, is appointed to succeed him in command of all Russian land and sea- forces -operating against V Japan. The word disgrace is written in large letters in the laconic imperial order -. gazetted, ,which contains not a single word ot praise and also disposes of the rumor that Kuropatkin had asked to be relieved. The Russian millitary annals contains no more bitter Imperial rebuke. It transpires that Emperor Nicholas, upon the advice of General Dragomiroff and War Mininster Sakharoff determined that the step was necessary when it became apparent yester day morning that. Kuropatkin; while con " ceutrating for a stand at ' Tie Pass, seemed unawre that the Japanese had worked around " westward again, and practically allowed himself to be surrounded. Old reports brought .by General Grippenburg regarding Kuropatkin's failing mentally al so had influence. Under the circumstances, therefore, it was considered imperative, in view of the - exceedingly perilous pisi--Hion of the army, to turn over its command to Linevitch who alone had been able to bring off his army in order after the battle of Mukden. His record during the Chinese war had also demonstrated his capacity as a commander. Kuropatkin will return to St, Petersburg forthwith. . The task con fided to Linvitch of withdrawing what is left of the greaf army of 350,000 men to Harbin is a desperate one. He is hemmed in on all sides, and a consummation of the . Mukden disaster is feard. ' ' But even in the face of the possibility of the complete loss of the army and the admitted fact that Vladivostock is already possibly lost, the Emperor still shows no sismsof yielding. Preparations for con tinuing the war on a larger scale than eve1" are proceeding. The dictum has gone forth that another army of 450,000 men is to be despatched to the far East, and to avoid delay it has been decided, instead of send-' ing only reserve men, to form new armies largely of regulars in garrison duty at home. A division of the Imperial Guard will be sent to the fronU Separate 'armies are to be organized under Generals Grodekoff, Grippenberg, and KamaroflF. 7 The war council, it is also understood, has definitely decided that Vice Admiral Botjesvensky shallcontinue Lis Voyage and give battle to. the Japanese in the forlorn hope of wresting control of the sea from Admiral Togo.

Military official here declare that there are now 269,000 men at General Ltnevitch's disposal in Man churia, . and it is believed that this force will"be sufficient to cause the Japauese to exercise greater caution in their pursuit.
