,,, - ,o.s,,a earvfce for the reserves which
r,or1- eorn, a large mart of the army IN Man.
crr,r;a HOW largely the Russian army must
ha reinforced may be estimated from his state
ment that the Russian general stan calculates
the present japanese strength at from 4oo,ooo
To 100000 That estimate, too, we may add,
comedies with those already made In these col
umns. If it is correct then the Russians VIII
nave 70 wait until long after the middle of De-
cember before they can hope to take the ag-
gressive for the ZOO soldiers that Colonel
Gaedke looks for by that time as maximum
will not be able to make headway against
100000 Japanese-or more, for the japanese
force will also keep on increasing.
That is Mr. Naudeau's view Of the case. "A
Russian offensive" he says, sis no longer possi-
bic for some time" He still thinks that if Rus
sia sets her teeth TO the task she will win in
the end. But to do so she will have TO make
astounding efforts and sacrifices out Of all pro-
portion to the end TO be gained. OF course, II
she is fighting for national pride. there is moth
ing more to be said. She must keep on to the
bitter end; perhaps until she has built new
navy and another railroad or two across the
continent. But this sympathetic French OBJ
server justly urges that there are times when
national pride should not be blindly needed, and
he thinks the present is one of them. 1t would,
in his opinion, be to the interest Of both helig-
erents-to say nothing of the unfortunate in
habitants of the ravaged provinces-to renounce
their national pride and make such mutual con-
cessiOns as would end the war. In that opinion
a large part of the world will heartily agree
with him. That either of the belligerents will
accept and act upon it is greatly to be doubted
If they do not, then these revised estimates of
the situation simply forecast an indefinite pro-
longation of the war, with all its miseries and
irreparable losses.

WILD CHARGES REFuTED BY RECORD

From The NeW-NOrh Globe
The reply which Governor Odeu has made 90 the
wild assertions or the Democratic platform IN re-
gard 10 his management Of the affairs OF tha State
is convincing as II Is Gigni1ed. He meets every
charge OF exJravagant expenditure with citations
rroa the record. and shows that whatever increase
there has been In expenditure has been duo TO
CROWN m poputation and IN public needs.
In the first place, he shows that in conuaring
appropriations now with those OF the last Demo-
cratic administration the Democrats omitted an
item or nearly 100000 in fees from the DEPART
ments which were formerly deducted from appro-
prtatiQns and are paid directly into the treas
ury. In the second place. he shows that the popu-
lation or the state has increased 1200,0 dur
ing the period named. In the third place that
larger number or Supreme Court justices require
considerable increase In expenditure. Then. too.
the SCHOOL population has Increased nearly quar-
ter or a million. requiring larger outlay for teach
efs Tho same thing Is true OF all the States char
table and other institutions. Then there are the
expenditures for good roads, grade crossings and
other items. all made necessary by the growth and
development OF the State.
The actual increase has been only about 50 aOc0 90
In ten years while the revenues OF the State have
increased In the same period from 100000 70 So,
10000 This Is certainly a record that Il VIII be
dlneult 10 assail successfully before the people OF
the State. ~

opinion Of the military observers here Is that the

MIR. DAVIS LIKES THE "RoBsgR TARIFF

From The NeW-YOrk Nall
The Old Mon Opulent OF the Democratic ticket IS
getting further and further away from the ST.
Louis declaration that protection IS a robbery OF
the many 20 enrich the few" He said In Wheeling
yesterday that incidental protection to our indus
tries is right and proper" So long as the rob
berry Is "tncdental rather than deliberate-'srot-
berry IN the second degree-he is for Il. rather
Davis we learn that the tariff needs revision not
because II Is too high but because Il Is too low
He notes that during the sixty years OF Demo-
cratic control the tarin on bituminOUs coal aver
aged about 81 50 q tOn," while IL Is now 81 cents
which IS az least mot excessive"
This IS rank treason. OF course Does the ven
cradle statesman accept the Hancock view that the
tarir Is "a local ISSUE" a West Virginia issue?
Democrats will ask.
