IS RUSSIA'S CHANGE COME ?
Or Are Japanese Retreating For A
Strategetlcal Purpose.
London. Oct 11. Europe today has
curiously divergent views of the an
nounced advance of Kuropatkln from
Mukden. The Russian opponents say
the move la but a bluff In order to fore
stall the Impending Japanese advance.
On the other hand there Is a notewor
thy growth of the opinion that the
world is about to see the turning of the
scale and that from this time on Russia
will be a general winner . as the Jap
anese have been heretofore. The Brit
ish military experts point out now for
the first time since the crossing of the
Yala Kuropatkln hat the contemplation
ot battle without the possibility of de
feat or of annihilation, Nothing def
inite, however, is known, as to the mag
nitude of Russian success so far, apd
the pro-Japanese element cling to the
belief Oyama Is merely during the Rus
sians on to disaster.
