The Russian and the Turk.


The New York Times war correspondent
INDUCES in comparison between the Rus
sian and the Turkish soldier, and not always
in favor of the former. aIIe thinks the Turk
the more patient of the two. He loves good
food, but il his bread is bad abe thanks
Allah that it is no worse, and will fight as
cheerfully as If fed ON the fat of the land"
The Russian, on the contrary, will refuse to
eat at all il his victuals are not to his liking.
He is brave and obedient to his officers, and
though he will work OH half rations, he ac-
cepts privation not philosophically, as the
Turk does, but with grumbing spirit
Give Russian soldier his black loaf, half
barley and half rye, his thick barley por-
ridge and his herb soup, ain whose ran
cid grease floats threequarters of pound
of buffalo meat" his spirits and his tea
give him all these creature comforts
every day, and he is happy and in prime
condition for a fight. But materially
alter the bill of fare and he is surly and
discontented. lie has not the Turks adapt
ability to circumstances. and is, withal, far
less sober To indicate how "nice " the
Russians are about what they eat, the cor
respondent states that the outlay made by
the government for the famous vegetable
sausages on which the Germans throve
during the French campaign, has been all
in vain. They will not touch the nutritious
sausage, and mutton is equally repugnant to
their fastidous palates. This reads strange
the common soldier, of whatever nation
atty, being popularity supposed to posses an
appetite made of sterner, or at least of more
accommodating stuff. Wonder how these
Russians would get along with the hard
tack of which the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic have vivid memories :
Continuing the contrast, the writer insists
that the Russians excel in the quality of
endurance, while, at the same time, owing to
the reasons which we have outlined, the
Russian army, as whole, is inefficient. If
the Turk equalled him in endurance, he be-
lieves that on the morrow after Plevna the
forces of the Car would have been swept
into the Danube"
