THE RESULTS OF THE
 RUSSO-.JAPANESE WAR

Whichever way this present war will ultimately end. it will have two impor- tant consequences for Russia:
 It will weaken her foreign. prestige; it is even now admitted by her friends that her fighting resources on land and water have been greatly overest1mated and her unwieldiness has become ap- parent to the naked eye. Second, the close of the war will bring in it's wake urgent internal reforms, reforms that thinking Russians have been signing for during forty years past. Above all, the way will be found to new system of internal administration, consisting in the main of provincial self-govern- ment The elected provincial cnam- bers, representing the liberal spirit of the Russian people, will obtain the much coveted enlargement of their leg islatiye and administrative functions, enabling them to attend adequately to the local wants and Improvements of their districts all over the empire, The abolition of the present system of village communes. which renders 1m- possible the gradual rise of the peas antry to something like the dignity of responsible human beings, a movement which is now under way, will be the second reform.
