Is A WAR OF GRAFT.
George kennan's Comment on Russia's
Position.

Chicago-"If Russia loses in her
struggle to hold Manchuria there is
no telling what may be the result to
the nation. menaced as it is now by
as many enemies and so much internal
dissension. With Poland and Finland
on the north, Armenia on the other
side, and with the Jews, little Russia,
dissatisfied peasants, students and
countless other hordes of people who
now nurse in secret their wounds and
grievances against the government,
with all these dangers to the country
under normal conditions, what might
not be expected if this same country
were broken by defeat in war which
great majority of the people would
have averted if they had been allowed
a voice?"
Thus spoke George KEENAN,, the not
ed traveller and writer, famed for his
expose in 1867 of the horrors of 81
berian convict life. Mr.. KEENAN, was
in Chicago en- route to San Francisco
and Japan to write of the Russo-Jap.
anese war for the Outlook.
This war has been forced upon the
car and the people by the grand ducal
party and war party in military cir
cles. The car is a weak man; he has
no sand; he is dominated by the
strongest mind nearest him.
"This is war for graft. 1t is the
practice Of the Russian government,
when it conquers land by force. to
distribute the richest portions among
the nobility and military commanders.
OF course, the very richest goes to the
cars private estate, then comes the
grand ducal party and after them the
military commanders. Such was the
case when Siberia was taken; such
will be the case If Russia wins in this
struggle. Manchuria and Korea will
be plucked similarly. That is why the
grand ducal crowd and the military
were so anxious for war. They look
for rich pickings."
