win be cut through the main office
connecting with the off1ce-room now
occupied by F. A. Cox adjoining.

OPINIONS ON RUSSIA'S NAVY
BY EXPERT AMERICAN OFFICERS
Russians Are Not Good Sailors Are a Half
Century Behind the Other Nations in
Efficiency and Spirit

hold the opinion that considerable
number of the officers are incompetent.
They have the exclusive patriotism of
the Russian, and however genial they
may be to foreign visitors, they never
admit them to any really intimate
friendship, and are reluctant to discuss
service matters. The smartness OF the
American officer is rarely found in them
and some of them are slovenly.
Russian sailors are conscripts serv-
ing seven years on the active list and
three in the reserve. and they are or
ganizd in 'equipages' in each of which
the company of a battleship is the
nucleus, the men of smaller vessels
making additional companies. There Is
comparatively little sea training, and
this organization is an attempt to carry
on the sea work on shore. The man is
generally-for, of course, there are eX-
ceptions-of a far lower level than his
company The Russian navy has made
enormous advances in the last few
years. but still the old influences exist.
There is still the despotic power. still
the men are cowed by its exercise, and
still their personal condition leaves
much to be desired They are apt to
be sluggish but there is something or
religious fervor in them. and they may
be expected to act and fight with cour-
age and endurance. if with little initia-
tive i'm handling arms and machinery.
probably the darkest spot in the
state of the Russian navy is the sever
itv of it's punishments. A story is told
that. within Comparatively recent years
the whole company of a ship, off,
GERS and men. were deported to the ST.
berian mines for mutinous conduct
British officers have told me of meet
ings with Russian ships in ports, of
evidences of hard treatment of the
Russian ships putting to sea and re-
turning with man the less. VINO hao
been hung at the yardarm for the ex-
| ample of his shipmates.
''It is commonly stated that Russian
officers have been known to knock their
men down. They are certainly able to
order the lash-a commander nfteen
strokes a captain twenty-five, and the
captain of an 'equipage' fifty The sys-
tenn is a rigid one and contributes ht-
tie to the creation OF esprit de corps
or confidence and good understanding
between officers and men. In short. the
code is still harsh and cruel, and can
not be without a reacting influence on
the characters both of officers and men.
There must be severity in every navy
but the peculiar character OF Russian
measures seems to indicate that, in
this matter at least the navy is CEN
tury behind that of the United states
or Great Britain"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 90
General Miles, on the occasion of his
European tour several years ago, and
several other American military men
also have had the privilege of becoming
personally acquainted with Russia army
men and methods by attending man
euvers reviews, etc, in the land of the
car. Very few American naval officers,
however, profess to have an intimate or
expert knowledge of the Russian navy.
1t has always been the policy of Russia
TO work under cover, and foreigners
have had little opportunity to acquaint
themselves with the details regarding
the growth and development of her
navy.
An American naval officer of wide
experience in his profession has just
returned to Washington after the COM
plet1on of a period of duty on the Pa
cine station, which service brought him
IN close contact with Russian ships and
men and afforded opportunity for many
interesting observations. A result of
