The CosSacks.

The latest and probably the most
accurate description Of the Cossacks
has been published recently in Paris
by Colonel de la Panouze, who Is now
retired from active service, after a
brilliant career as French officer Of
cavalry and military attache to
French embassies in some European
countries. He says, among other
things:
On the opening of hostilities there
would be at first naval phase. Then
would come the operations on land
The small forces OF cavalry which
Japan would land would be employed
only for the service Of outposts, and
could not combat the superior forces
of Russian cavalry assembled in Man
churla. That cavalry. composed Of
Cossacks, amounts TO such a figure
that the total of the japanese caval-
ry. were it possible to disembark IL
in Manchurla, would be still out o.
proportion to the Cossack cavalry Of
Asia.
In Europe the Cossacls operate
conjointly with the ordinary cavalry,
but in Asia they are the only mounted
troops of the Muscovite empire.
In exchange for a homestead
and other privileges the Cossacks are
bound TO military service, and 10 fur
