uient waa the carrying out of a well-
defined Idea rather than a retreat The

have a significant bearing on the cam
paign, ia that filed at Mukden at 8:27
r. M., Thursday, atatlng the train er-
vice between Mukden and Liao Yang
waa Interrupted, and it may mean the
cutting of the railroad communication
which may deprive General Kuropat
kln of an opportunity to retreat to hla
moro northern base at Mukden. Aa
