OF the line at Lake Baikal, and a
days delay means apother mile OF
easy transportation for troops and
subsistence completed for the Rus
sian army.
Experts claim that such war
would be a contest between armies
rather than navies, and yet it can
easily be seen that there would be
sufiicient to keep the warships of
both nations busy.
When we attempt to compare the
hghting strength of the two navies
1t is a harder task than the compare
son of the armies. Russia has by far
the greatest navy of the two nations,
Dut how much of her navy could she
put upon the scene of operations is a
question that time only can answer.
At the present time, though Russia
has been rapidly adding to her Asiat-
ic fleet in Siberian and Chinese wa
ters, it is far from being a match for
the navy of Japan, with it's new
modern boats. The Russian navy is
divided into four distinct fleets which
operate independently of each other.
The Baltic fleet is practically cut off
from all support by the other por-
tions of the Russian navy; the
operations of the Black sea fleet,
one of the strongest of the Rus
sian fleets, is confined entirely to
that small body of water, and cannot
leave that sea eXceDtinp nv uSe of
force which it would hardly be wise
to exercise in case of war with ia
pan; the Caspian sea fleet, which
would be utterly useless at such a
time, and the Asiatic fleet, with which
the Japanese navy would have to deal

The Flgbting Strength
Of 7apan md Russia
A Comparison Of the Military and Naval Resources
of These Two Nations


wv ready to unleash the dogs of
war at any moment for what
may prove, if it is once begun, the
greatest armed struggle of modern
times, the entire world is interested
in the fighting strength of the two
nations.
At first thought it would seem that
Russia, with her vast resources, her
dense population and long years of
civilized and modern government,
would settle the struggle to her own
advantage even before it was well be-
gun. But study of the subject soon
demonstrates the fact that Japan is
no mean antagonist.
If it were not for the fact that
figures sometimes prove but little we
would say that Russia would crush
the island empire with the first stroke
of the bears paw because of the
sheer weight of her armies. In times
of peace Russia keeps under arms a
total of 100000 men and $4,000 Off
GERS. This is third greater than
any other peace army in the world.
But great as Russia's peace army is,
it is but a fraction of what she can
put in the field in time of war. Men
who have devoted a lifetime to the
subject of military resources of va
rious nations agree that she has a
trained army of not less than 3,500,-
600 men available for almost instant
service should war ever come. While
it is said that Russia could call such
vast army OF trained men as this
almost instantly, there is no reliable
information as to how the troops not
in the regular or standing army
would be arranged. The men are for
the most part trained because they
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-04-25

have at some time coG3t.tN.GS part
of the standing army or militia, and
it is generally understood that Russia
man she could command in case of an
emergency.
To combat this enormous force, or
such part of it as could be successful
ly brought against her, Japan has an
army during peace times of $4,000
men, which can be raised in time of
war to trifie over one-half million,
all of which would be trained men
who have served either in the stand.
ing army, in the army reserve, in
what is called the territorial army or
the militia, and for each of these
men Japan has an equipment pre-
pared. At the close of the China
Japan war Japan had in China an
army of 10000 men and an organized
reserve waiting for orders to embark
for Chinese ports of 100000 men.
That much had been accomplished
without any seeming strain on the
part of the government.
But the question naturally arises,
how many of these men could either
nation put into the field at a point
where they would be valuable as a
part of fighting machine? The ma
jority of the Russian army is, on or
dinary occasions, in Russia proper. At
the present time, because of the trou-
bles in China and for emergencies
that are likely TO arise, Russia has
modified "A strong army in and
around Manchuria. During the Boxer
troubles in China Russia sent into
Manchuria and the districts around
Picking an army of close to 10000
men. No great part of these were
reported as part of the allied army,
but they were near enough to be
available at short notice had Russian
interests demanded their presence.
The greater part of these troops,
aside from the army corps stationed
in eastern Siberia and Manchuria and
Port Arthur, had to be transported
from points in European Russia. They
reached the field of operation with
in months time by means of the
Siberian railway and steamers down
the Amur river, and that without at
tracing the attention of the powers,
who eagerly watch every movement
of the czar's government in the far
east. This shows that Russia could
mobilize an army in the disputed ter
ritory quite as quickly as Japan could
transport one across the Sea of Ja-
pan into Corea and Manchuria, which
would undoubtedly be the scene of
operations.
If there is to be a war between
these two powers every day of delay

Japan has forged rapidly to the front
in naval construction. One of the dis
tinguishing features of her boats has
been the unusually heavy armament
provided for them, the wisdom of
which was proven in the war with
China.
Japan now possesses six battle
ships, all built in England, namely:
The Fuji, the Yashima, the Shikish-
ina, the Asahi, the Hatsusi and the
Mikasa. All of these are now in Jap
anese waters with the exception of
the Hatsusi, which is now on her way
there from England, where she was
recently completed.
In addition to these Japan has
fleet OF six wonderful vessels ranked
as second-class battleships, some Is

cruisers, five armored coast defense
vessels and a fairly complete compile

naval activity has not within recent
years kept pace with her possible an

more effective navy in Asiatic waters
than has Russia, and her chance of
success upon the seas would seem to

The modern Japanese navy began
with the purchase of the Stonewall
Jackson from the United States in
1866. She would be considered a small
vessel now, but at that time was
counted an effective one. The real

LAWS AGAINST ANARCHISTS.
Crumpacker Points Out Some Difficulties in
the Way Of Passing Them.
(By the Associated Press.)

W SiAS ~ASSOSANeSN ASSs''(
Indianapolis, Sept. 20-Congressman
Crumpacker, of Valparaiso, who was
here today, is of the opinion that it will
be difficult to enact laws for the con-
troll and punishment of anarchists and
still more difficult to enforce them. 1t
would be an easy matter now, he thinks,
to enforce laws against anarchists, as
the public mind is inflamed over the as
sassination of President Mckinley, but
a few years from now there might be
large number Of anarchistic organiza-
tions in the State without the average
person knowing anything about it.
He believes however, that Congress
at the coming session will consider care
fully the scope of it's power in the mat
ter, and If possible, will enact such laws
as will have o tendency to restrict an
archy. The trouble, he says, in passing
such a law is that it might have ten
dency to restrict freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. He declared,
however, that any State could enact a
law making an attempt on the life of the
President capital offence, with would
help to hold anarchists in check.

FLUNG THE POLE INTO THE SEA.
Good, and Teddy Will be the Next" he Had
Cried.
(By the Associated Press.)


Norfolk Va, Sept. 20.-The captain of
small oyster sloop, which has been
dredging in the upper Chesapeake, and
which arrived here today, informs the
Associated Press correspondent that
shortly after President Mckinley was
shot a Pole appeared at Bivalve, Md,
and secured place as hand on sloop
whose master is named George Rowell.
The man was fairly we'll dressed and
was educated. He told the oyster men
that he came from good family, but was
cut off from them with a small allow
ance.
The day after the President died a
passenger on passing steamer threw
a newspaper containing an account OF
the death aboard the sloop. The Pole
secured it and while the crew were
waiting for him to read them the story,
he exclaimed: Good, and Teddy will be
the next in short time" The crew set
upon him and severely beat him, render
ing him unconscious. The captain and
mate made them cease, but later, when
the master had gone aft, the crew picked
the unconscious form up and threw it
