Colonr! Pokatile was among the killed. The Japanese, he adds, are continuing the attack. The heaviest losses suffered by the Russians south of Liaoyang were due to their determined attempts to guard their commissariat trains in the flight of the latter northward. Regiment after regiment was exposed to almost certain destruction to defend wagons which ordinarily would be abandoned. That indicates the belief of the Russians that they cannot hope to retreat miKli farther north than Liaoyang and tends indirectly to confirm the unofficial report that General Kuroki's right has swung around far enough to command the peninsular railway between Mukden and Kuropatkin's left.
