RUSsIA'S CHANCES THE BEST.

The SympathieS Of our army officers
may be with the Japanese, but there is
no doubt that they are OF the opinion
that Russia viii win in the war. Eight
81 them recently made application to
the Russian and japanese govern
ments 10 be allowed to join their
armies They have been advised that
their applications have been taken un-
der Amusement. which means that
they viii not be granted.
They base their opinion that Russia
viii be successful mainly upon Rus
sia's superior strength and her logged
determination. There is no doubt that
Russia can put into the field twice,
perhaps three times as many men as
Japan. and the Russians can stand de-
feat. The belief is that the japanese
will become discouraged if they meet
with two or three setbacks.
OF course Japan has shown her SUI
periority on the sea and she will con-
tinue to be victorious there, but the
war will not be fought out on the sea.
1t will be fought mainly in Manchuria,
and may last two years. Indeed, the
opinion among our army officers is
that it will last fully two years, and
that the Russians will eventually chase
the Japanese out of Manchuria and
down into Korea, where the war will
probably be finished. the Koreans like
ly siding with the Russians.
OF course the Russians are long
way from their base of supplies, but it
is said they have meat and -four sufi-
cient for a long time in Manchuria and
that the railroad will be kept open for
the transportation OF troops and muni-
tions of war. The japanese will have
TO transport their supplies to Man.
churia by way of the sea, and so they
are not much better off than the Rus
slams in that respect.
The Russians have the tenacity of
purpose and the logged determination
that tell in long fight, and though
they may be slow in getting into ac-
ton they will stay there as long as
there is the least hope of winning. A
long fight, however. will be regrettable
from every point of view. 1t will dis
turb many interests. Its i'll effects
will be felt in this country and about
every other commercial country.
