st. Petersburg, Feb. 19.--While
Russia manifests no intention to rush
the war in the orient in the least she
Is gathering an army such as has not
before been massed in the field for
thirty years in Manchuria, and it will
be almost a miracle if the Japanese
force is not completely crushed.
Japan is eager to force the fight
ing, but Russia is content to wait.
The war found her in a large measure
unprepared, but this lack is being
made good, and that in a thoro and
systematic manner. Were it not for
the difficulty of transportation, an
army outnumbering the entire Jap
anese force could be placed in the
field on short notice.
Within a short time the car will
be in position to dictate where and
when the quarrel will be fought out.
No one here doubts that the aggres-
