The Russian people no longer need
to be warned that they must strain all
the resources of the Empire if they
would come out of this war, not mel ely
with honor. but without disgrace.
They already feel the pinch of fnanci.
al adversely. Some enthusiasts have
suggested that people who have broken
or superfuous articles of silver should
send them to the mint to be coined;
but more mosaic minds are seriously
discussing the necessity of raising an
other foreign loan. In the centers of
Russian intelligence there seems to be
a general conviction that Russia must
prepare for second campaign.
Naturally the disasters in Bulgaria
are the theme of profound wonder, dis
appointment and anger. Nobody ina.
gined that the Turks were so we'll
armed, so well led, SO clearly a match
for the best troops of Russia even in
the open field. The war was begun
with the vague idea that after some
hard fighting the Turks would beg for
peace, or be driven back 70 Constanti-
nople. The Russians find that they
have been profoundly mistaken. The
alarming fact is that the military skill
Of Russia seems to have fallen off, al
though the atmosphere of her public
life is military. She also shows far
greater tendency than in past times to
keep the highest posts of command
within the narrow circle of the Imperi-
al family. No such fault was commit
ted in her great wars with Napoleon or
in her former contests with Turkey
The Princes have shown no capacity
beyond what might serve General of
Brigade in quiet times, and none of
them have given the slightest proofs Of
ability to handle the masses Of men.
Nor is the worst part Of the mischief
summed up in their positive errors.
By keeping all the power in their own
hands, they have, it would seem,
stunted the growth of such military
capacity as Russia can furnish.
These facts are the theme of bitter
comment in Russian society, and they
will bear political fruit after the war
