AIMING FOR WAR.
Russia and Japan Prepare For
Great Struggle.
TWELVE RUSSIAN BATTERIES READY
Tokyo Government Invested with n
"MOnte Christie" Credit For Mill
taTy Defense and Right TO Gre
ate q War Council.

LONDON, Dec 30.-A Russian dis
patch says twelve batteries of the four
grenadier brigades of field artillery,
Btationediin and around Moscow, have
been selected for service In the far
east and have received new guns
which the Russian artillerists claim
are superior TO the French fieldpieces.
The early departure Of three of these
batteries is expected, which will place
10S field guns, with the latest equip
ment, at the disposal of Viceroy Alex
Elf.
1t is said here that all the volunteers
living at their homes, who. as gradu-
ates of high schools, are privileged to
serve only year with the colors, have
been ordered into barracks.
An official report from Tokyo says
an emergency ordinance, promulgated
late Monday Right invests the govern
ment with unlimited credit for pur-
poses of military defense.
Three other ordinances were issued,
relating. first, to the Seoul-Fusan rail-
way hiNi 10 DlOubhl NlpSCi hhOCA
official control second, to the revision
of the organize ton Of the imperial mil
itary headquarters in war time; third,
to the creation of a war council in war
time.
These ordinances, II is considered,
look like war and completely provide
for all emergencies.
The ordinance also provides for all
possible military expenses for the pro
lection of the railway and other in
terests.
1t IL reported that the Japanese min
isterial council has demanded the
transfer Of S25, 100000 from the edu-
cational fund for emergency purposes.
Russian irritation IL centered largely
against the English and American peo-
pies on account Of their undoubted sym
pathies for japan. To understand this
fully one must realise that in the high
est circles dominating politics in Lon
don the conviction is irrevocably i'm
bedded that without the support and
encouragement OF those two countries
Japan would never declare war upon
Russia.
