Russian strategy.

Russian strategy is great mystery. It is slow, incomprehensible, and unsuccess- ful to a degree that puzzles the prophetic journalist to the verge of distraction. Just as the Great Bear seemed to have firm grip of Kars, Ezeroum and in fact all Ar menia, he turns tail. and makes for the everlasting Circassian hills. Then, in the West, the hordes of the invaders had made a successful dash over the Danube, split the Ottoman army of defence in two, and pierced the Balkans. Constantinople was in despair; the Sultan was reported packing his trunk; and Diplomacy began to get ready to divide the estate of the Dead Man. Just at this juncture some 3o,OOO Russians attacked 40,000 Turks in intrenchments, and were badly beaten as anyone would have supposed. This de- feat paralyzed the whole Russian army. They have been concentrating, calling in reserves, withdrawing from the Balkan passes, and giving other unmistakable signs of weakness ever since. @ Now our conclusion from all these
 strange military proceedings is simply
 that there has been an immense deal of lying about the Russian preponderance of force. The Russian retreat from Kars is incomprehensib1e on any theory but that of numerical weakness. Just so in Bull garia, instead of the half million troops attributed to the Russian army, the force must have been vastly weaker than the weakest umber ever allowed them, to have been so thoroughly crippled by the
 reverse at PIevna. Forit cannot but be noticed that they still have a central po- sition between the Turks in the ''quadri- lateral" on their left. and the Turkish ar- my near Plevna un their right. In fact
 there is no other civilized country in which there is so great a discrepancy be- tween the military force on paper and the military force in the field as in Russia. It was this discrepancy. as it existed in France under the Bogus Napoleon, that led to the defeat of Sedan and the surren- der of Metz. Still the Russian force ac- tuallY in Bulgaria no doubt outnumbers that of the Turks, and they will probably win substaatantial successes in the end, but they are evidently too weak to rush on Constantinople in the magnificent man. ner expected of them. llr >a
