GETTING READY FOR WAR.
Russia lrritat,d by Engiand's Polio,
Of Resistance,


st. Petersburg. April 20. via London,
April 23.-Rus.sian opinion is intensely
irritated by England's patent policy of
preparation to resist the expansion of
the czars empire. 1t is learned that
this feeling is fully shared in official
quarters, where 1t has become especial
" acute as the result OF the attitude
OF the Balfoui cabinet with regard to
the Bagdad railway. England's first
deep offense against Russian suscepti-
bilities was the recent conclusion of a
war alliance with Japan. plainly aimed
at Russian ambitions in China. This
was followed Immediately afterward by
extraordinary measures on the part OF
Great Britain to erect barriers against
4 Russia's southwark march thru Per-
sia.
Now comes the third distinct offense
OF the same kind-England's undis-
guised attempt either to prevent the
construction Of the Bagdad railway or
so to hedge the enterprise about that
Russian participation will be rendered
impossible. In this manner the Brit
ish ministry is all the time crying
..Halt!" to Russia in the far east, the
middle east and the near east. The
Moscoyite naturally considers this poll
tey an audacious project to stereotype
MS empire within its present limits.
That the British really believe such
an undertaking feasible is regarded in
st. Petersburg as an established fact
and the government is planning naval
and military arrangements on an un !.
precedented scale. This policy is an Of
fetal secret fermetically sealed, but 1T
is easy to surmise that it's attitude is
not one OF acquiescence. The least ap-
prehensive observers, therefore, can not
pretend that the relations of the two
countries are ON a safe footing.
