full In the End.

A mere statistical statement Of the
numbers of soldiers or ships which ia
pan and Russia can give no conception of
the military strength of either nation. If
it could Japan would be defeated by
mere numbers before war was declared.
Military resources consist of more than
men or ships, it consist of funds with
which to equip armies and navies and
maintain them, it consists of food sup
plies, of means of transportation, and of
discipline, enthusiasm and patriotism.
1t is in the later that Japan excells.
The standing army of Russia on a
peace footing numbers about 10000
men. On war footing this is increased
to 1900, 900 men, while the total number
of men Russia could put into the field
numbers close to 100000. This vast
army is Well equipped with arms, cloth
ing and commissary supplies and fairly

sentials. First it Is scattered over q

to have commanded such men a. those
who were dead, but it was still greater
honor to have died for Japan. This one
lesson is impressed upon the soldier
from the day he joins the eolols. It Is
made a part of his military education,
and it is small wonder that it produces
q wonderful effect upon the army dis
cipline. The autocratic government OF
the car, on the other hand, demands and
receives blind obedience rendered
without other interest than the obeying
of orders so as to escape the punish
ments that come with disoDedience. The
effect of the Japanese training makes OF
their army an agile, enthusiastic, mobile
body, that stands out in strong contrast
to the slow moving, massive, machine OF
Russia.
The first conflict of the contest must
necessarily be on the sea. Japan must
control on the water before she can sue
cessfully transfer the conflict to the land.
Mr.. O. X. Davis, the correspondent OF
the New York Sun in China during the
Boxer troubles, contributed to the De-
cember erybody's an article on the
Japanese Russian situation in which he
embodied q good comparison of the
naval strength of the two nations, and In
which he says:
'fIn number of ships Russia outclasses
Japan. She has 81 battleships to
Japan's eight, 16 coast defense ships to
three, % armored cruisers to seven, and
sc protected cruisers and gunboats to

into three fleets, one for the Baltic, H.
600 miles from Port Arthur, and another
5000 miles away in the Black sea. To
reinforce the faf eastern feet after war
begins will be impossible. for Russia
has not coaling station on the way,

which resembled combat between the
swordfish and the whale, and which re-

themselves upon their success in secur-

informed observers that Japan does not
herself seek the absorption OF Corea. She
does not seek to make that country jap
anese territory. All she asks is that the
integrity of Ccrea be guaranteed In a
treaty, and that afterward all the world
be free to compete for trade and to par
ticipate in the development Of that re-
gion She asks no special privilege for
herself, and stands for the open door of
opportunity and friendly competition in
accordance with the principle laid down
by the great American secretary of state,
Mr.. Hay. She has not asked that Corea
be assigned to her political sphere OF in
fluence, and is willing to take her
chances in the rivalry Of the future. But
Japan does demand that Russia shall in
