FIGHTING STRENGTH OF JAPAN
AND RUSSIA.

Probably the latest and most re-
liable estimate of The relative fghting
strength of Japan and Russia is that
made for the London Times by its
military and Wal correspondents and
printed in tie issue of that paper
which reached this city yesterday
The outloon. according to these ex-
perts. is more than favorable to ia
pan at sea. while there is at least an
even chance for her on land.
The naval expert admits, to start
with. that there are factors on bo,l
sides which are hard to determine.
but he gives us the benefit of all the
knowledge available. He compares
the Japanese fleet with the Russian
ships which are either in The far East
or are now on their way there. ia
pan has six battle ships to Russia's
eight. but not even the best of the
Russian ships comes up to the Japan
ese standard. Moreover the Japanese
ships are practically all of one
grade, and can be handled therefore
to great advantage, while the Russian
heet must adapt itself in action to the
capacity of its poorest vessel. In arm
ored cruisers Japan has six to Rus
sia's five, and Japan's are the better.
In protected cruisers japan has four
teen to Russia's eight.
Even more important than this su-
periority of fleet is the fact that Japan
mas four fine dockyards, quite capable
both of constructing and repairing
vessels of any class" while Russia's
docking facilities are entirely made
quate even for the ordinary repair and
maintenance of the fleet" So great is
Japan's superiority at sea, everything
considered, that the writer would not
be surprised il the Russians should
withdraw their ships into the Gull
Of Pe-Chi-Li rather than force a aeet
action"
When the issue at sea has been set
tied, either by victory or blockade,
then will come the land campaign.
Japan's permanent army has 1900 Off
GERS and 10000 men. Her reserve
and territorial armies bring her total
land force to 100000 men. Russia. ac-
cording to the best estimate that can
be made, has about 100000 men in the
tar East. while 'it is probable that
the Russian troops which would be
available for service In Manchuria
when either Russia or Japan has prov.
ed its naval domination In the China
seas will not much exceed 100000
men"
With Japan victor at sea, the mill
tary expert believes that Japan's trans.
portation facilities would be far su.
perior to Russia's, He points out that
the Siberian railroad is exceeding vul.
nerable. that 1t would require an i'm.
mense force to guard It, and that at
the best its facilities cannot serve for
the maintenance of more than 100. 900
men. On the other hand, Japan, with
her railroads and harbors and with
her short sea haul. should be able 10
land an expeditlonary force superior
to any force that Russia by means OF
her land communications can conceu.
