can get hold Of important secret docu-
ments and publish them. Its latest
achievements in this respect, as the
cable dispatches have doubtless already
announced. is an important document
s!gned by the Russian Minister of War
General Kuropatkn. and addressed 10
the different commanders Of TROOPS
throughout the empire Here are the de-
tails Of the document
The minister begins by stating that
the activity Of political agitators 10 the
army has latterly assumed such a ue-
gree OF impudence and such dimensions
that Il is necessary TO draw the atten-
ton OF generals in command 10 H. The
minister then enumerates two or three
dozen instances which have been report
ed 20 him in witch revolutionary u So
cial Democratic missionaries have been
at work circulating literature among he
common soldiers. and in numerous cases
also among officers. Their sphere OF &C
tivity is not confined 10 one province or
department. but FTetChes from vest 20
east OF the empire. from the gaTrisons
Of wilma 10 the garrisons OF Siberia.

The pamphlets circulated among the
troops are usually printed but litho-
graphed copies also appea-. In one the
officers are adjured not % do hangmaa's
service for the Government, IN another
the soldiers are entreated not TO raise
their arms against their civilian com
rades struggling for freedom Another
pamphlet tries 10 incite against military
service in general. and another stirs up
soldiers against their officers. Several
leaflets tried 10 make the soldiers side
with the students in recent distuT-
Dances. Officers are asked 10 throw in
their lot with the pan Russian reyolu-
tionsry movement" and so on.
General Kuropatkin asserts that IL
often happens that the most Jealous
agents FOR circulating this literature are
found amcng the soldiers themselves.
He even cites one instance Of an officer
IN Sebastopoi being engaged in the work
peculiarly Russian instance is that OF
a young aristOcrat who. when drafted
into the army declined 10 accept short
service. which is the privilege Of his
caste. and preferred 10 enlist for long
