RAILWAY IN DANGER.
Belief the Japs Wait Only for Signal
TO Attack it.


London, March 81. - The military
expert of the London Times declares:
The most surprising thing about the
events in the far east during the last
few weeks is the apparent immunity
from attack of the Russian railway
lines. 1t had been promised by the Jap
anese before the war began, he declares,
that the railways would be impeded.
and even in part would be demolished.
The Japanese had made thorough
study OF the country before the opening
OF the war and knew more about the
country outside of the immediate vi
cinityg of the garrisons than even the
Russians themselves.
There has been ample time to dis
patch bold rajding parties, who would
be landed from small warships, or even
merchant ships, at points along the
coasts, and the assumption is that the
japanese are wanting in resource and
audaclty, or that preparations have
been actually made, and given sig
nal is awaited before the blow is
struck.
Nothing that has yet occurred iusti-
fies the belief that the Japanese are
wanting in intelligence aud resource,
therefore we must fall back on the as
sumption that the Japanese believe
that the hour to strike has not yet ar
rived.
I'm what position, therefore, will
the Russians stand if they awake some
fine morning and find the railway sew
cred, not at one place, but along the
entire line, and hostile army threaten
| ing Vladivostok? If the Russian army
can exist in the Lao valley, with It;
line of communication severed, it will
surprise many people, and it is general
ly conceded that if this happens it will
have to retrace its steps to Hardin.
The Russian army is in fact as
much tied up to its railway line as was
the British army in the Transvaal. and
1t has to depend on single line of
track, while the British had three, and
the Japanese are not whit less enter
prlsing than the Beers. 4"
