that blessed hour appears on the dial OF time ther
duty will be-and many already understand u so--n'l
to oppose the rising Of the peasants OF the people At

purifying FIRE.
Tbe most copspicuous mark of the Russian army in
eneratba of the officers as well Of the soldiers
j. that they never consider themselves as any eScres
cerce In the nation distinct superior TO the bulk Of
the people They do not look on the quality citizen
Is some hing below them q1te the contrary Te's Is
in Itself mighty pledge for the future Officers aud sol
diers both. anxously look for the moment when they
can yet rid of the thradom of the red collar aud return
to prvate.f. a. citizens laborers. Officers, if they
cannot helm themselves otherwise prefer 10 change the
military or the civil service. They do not share the
mean and coptenptbe notion Of the officers Of other Ell
ropesn armies as for example the Prussans, French
.tc tina; the red collar and military coat is something
n,eror it, position ana honor TO the common existence o.
be rest Of the patton We BY the above principally
officers of PURE Russian blood. They know themselves
We. ns those of other armies, to be the trustees o.
what is called falsely the national honor but this feeling
is intimately blended in them with the love OF country
Of which for many Of them the Car is not the pcrsonl
csticp but only temporary AMI transient particle.
When the time will come ,hs distinction between Gar
i'm and the fatherland will become more clear and
nren inert and then despOtsm will stand powerless ani
abandoned by the majority. Sustained BOW by cowardy
conservatives Of both hemspheres its muchadmred dis
c1 line will then be OF no avail
If the officers thus preserve the feeling OF eitz nship
much more is il the with common soldiers More
miserable more oppressed by the drill the discipline
and crushed By IT, living in poverty and destltnton, their
ro.ion is far more helpless than would be that OF
se-f under the mos. reckless master For the soldier
the LONG wears Of service are but daily nay hoary,
ron seryude Thus nothing separates him from the
destiny Of the peasant Of the serf He remains always
the serrs brother, and both however, in different
way bear IN their necks the heavy pressure Of caste
end desIotism And the change is not for the bet
ter for the soldier His feelings remain exclusively
viii the people Thus when brought into foreign
countries he Russsn soldier is the least unreasonable in
claims the easiest to be satisfied and if be remains
freven short time in the place he Identities him
