RusslA's WEAK POINTS
IN THE EAST

o.
A correspondent Of the London
Times. who is familiar with the details
of transporting and supplying an army
by railway. gives some instructive bs-
ures touching The difficulties with
which Russia contends in sending
large bodies of troops TO the thenter
of war and caring Tor them after they
get there. Il was held by the Japan
ese stan before hosNlltl IS beEMf nnd
no doubt on sufficient grounds. that
Russia, relying on a single track rail-
road, could not maintain an army OF
more than 100000 men in the Far
East. The London Times writer goes
into particulars 10 show that ii the
railroad were continuously in The best
condition. not moro than 20.p0n men
a month could be sent East In shape
to take the field. and the question at
feeding them after arrival mould be
left unsolyed, A gap in The railway
still exists at Lake Balkal which Is
filled by two steamers, only one OF
which carries railroad cars. The food
alone OF an army OF 100000 men and
G5 900 horses represents weight OF
l.10O tons a day. or load for five
railway trains OF Menty i've cars
each. During the recent wip,er the
Russians. with the entire tAck in NJ
der. could not get through more than
six trains a day, or barely enough to
carry the food. to say nothing uI ,hc
transportation of troops.
The greatest strain Of this kind In
the American civil war was in tde op
erations in Kentucky Tennessee and
Georgia during Sherman's operations
against Atlanta The Union army
was supplied from single track rail-
way running from Louisville TO Nash
vile and Chattanooga. The distance
from Louisville 10 Nashville was los
miles; from Nashville 10 Chattanooga
15l miles. and from Chattanooga to
Atlanta f3s miles, total of IA miles
Every bridge and treslle On this route
had to be guarded. aud tens of thou
sands of soldiers were mus employed
A little army held some of the sta
tions, as at Allatoona where a famous
battle was fought, whole Confed-
crate division making the assault The
distance from Baikal to Harbin is al
most three times that from Louis
vile to Atlanta, and there are thous.
ands of miles of railway to he reckon
ed with west oi Baikal. Interruptions
on SO long line are certain to occur
frequently, the track now being laid
with comparatively light iron
These physical difficulties must be
kept in mind in estimating what is go
ing on in Manchuria. aud what the
decisive results are likely TO he The
London Times analysis of the railway
situation concludes that as long as
Japan retains command of the sea,
she has the power OF continuously
placing two or more men In the field
for every one that Russia brings mp.
She can regulate her action by mat Of
her enemy, and always anticipate it,
since she can throw troops into Man
churia with greater facility, greater
speed and in more efficient condition"
Russia must supply her troops over
a single track railway or live off the
country. The last method is imprac-
ticable for any length Of time. and the
the other must he regarded as having.
in the present conflict. limitations tnat
can not be overcome.
