RUSSIAN COMPARISON
OF THE ARMAMENTS
Russian Papers are Boosting, Endeavoring to
Bolster Up the Dropping Spirits of
the People at Home

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
ST. PETERSBURG. March 16.-The
Journal today prints comparative
statement of the opposition forces Of
Russia and Japan in the far east, say
ing that Russia has the superiority of
land armament by seventy-six cannon
but is inferior in war ships, which,
however is compensated in the artillery
Of the Russian force and the valor Of
the Russian sailors.
1t is necessary that the Japanese set
apart a number Of war ships as trans
ports escort and to guard the lines Of
communication. There is no doubt as
to the issue of the naval war being the
complete destruction of the Japanese
fleet. 1t is only question of time when
the Baltic squadron will make it's ap-
pearance in eastern waters under the
most brilliant of Russian admirals.
The article was apparently written to
calm public opinion.

break away. We would have 70 night

This Is the warn ng which has been

This IS what David Il. Hill announced
