Reveal an Amazing Lack of Discipline
in the Russian Army
Incompetence of Subordinates, Failure to Obey
Commands and Drunkenness Are Evils
That Hamper Kuropatkin

A general order was issued on July
13 censuring officers for publicly be-
lifting the ability of their superiors.
Another order stated that ammuni-
ton and transport wagons were often
needlessly abandoned on the field and
directed that greater care be exercised
in view of the difficulty of replacing
them. Quick firing batteries were CEN
sured for wasting ammunition and for
Wild firing.
Another order, issued on July %,
strongly rebuked non-commissioned Of
ficers for destroying Chinese property
and miStreating women. The trouble,
apparently, was not stopped, for on Au-
gust . an order again denounced acts
Of this character and ordered regi-
mental commanders to be more vigi-
liant.
The correspondent adds that these
orders show conduct that is In strik-
ing contrast to that of the Japanese,
whose sobriety. orderliness and perfect
discipline have excited the admiration
Of observers throughout the war.
