At the same time his extreme left began a turning movement on the west and, forcing the Russians toward the Shili river, compelled them to abandon the main ridge of hills or lcfco a considerable force of infantry. Eight guns and 178 prisoners were taken in this movement, making a total of twenty-eight guns captured between Generals Nodzu and Oku. All the Russian forces were retired by order of General Kuropatkin to the main positions south of the Shili river, but the breaking of the Russian center prevented the retirement of the Russian left owing to the turning movement begun by Ivurokl after Nodzu's victory.

DIVORCE CANON ADOPTED. The fight between the Japanese and Russian center armies undoubtedly, from the bulletins coming in, was the most desperate contest of the war. While skirmishing had been going on from Monday morning the battle proper did not develop until Tuesday afternoon, when Marshal Oyamn found it necessary to order an advance of the center in force in order to break the pressure against the left of Kurolti's army. The Russians were well intrenched in the Mashl range of hills, having not fewer than 180 pieces of artillery and infantry estimated at 00,- (XX). with 120 squadrons of cavalry extending west to the railway and east to WuloRlm, a distance altogether of sixteen miles on the front of the Russian center. It was necessary for Nod.zu to make a frontal attack, and after an artillery duel, lasting till long after dark, he sent the Fourth and Sixth brigades of infantry across the intervening valley to fight the Russians, wh© had been shelled from the Episcopal General Convention Decides D up by fifty » £ years of success.

General Kuroki was informed through the field telephone wires that his left no longer was in danger from the Russian center, and he immedlately began an advance of his entire right army ill the valley north of Bensihu, driving the Russians northeast and 'practically separating Kuropatkin's left wing from his center. A 'terrific artillery duel at night was the feature of tills onslaught by Kuroki. The .Japanese guns, while lighter, outnumbered the Russians, and the Siberian Infantry under General Mildenberg were driven from slope to slope , until at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning General Kuroki's entire army had advanced live miles on its center, thus making precarious the position of the Russians attacking his left near Bensihu.
