Russian Base Of Nava operation. in Orient.

for the supreme Importance OF sea
power. 1t may safely be asserted that.
this command of the sea. furnished by
ships and sailors. is the paramount
condition whereon the employment of
land forces in time of war depends.
What, then, are the conditions that
exist to-day, and what will be the prob
able disposition of the contending
energies? In the new theater of war
the naval forces of Russia and Japan
in the China seas are in displacement
and tonnage so nearly equal that the
Japanese superiority measures less
than 5000 tons displacement These
small odds are discovered in armored
cruisers. as in batteshIps the Rus
slams have tonnage greater by more
than 1000 tons.
But relative naval strength is not
measured by size alone. and this ap-
parenil equilibrium disappears when
the higher speed. the greater homo
geneity in type, and. as a whole. the
more modern character OF the Jap
anese fleet is considered. Then, too,
Japan has great strategic advantage
in the extent and situation of her
bases of supply and equipment. in the
immediate readiness OF reserve, and
in the availability of fishermen and
other seafaring persons to replace the
waste of battle and OF disease.
The crews of both fleets are secured
by conscription. but Russia has of late
been forced to employ her rural
classes. while Japan has over 1000 600
of sea bred people on whom she can
depend for the personnel of her squad
ron.
1t can safely be assumed that in
courage. physical fitness and endur-
ance. and in discipline, training. and
self-devotion the enlisted men of the
two conflicting fleets are equal. Nor
can there be any great difference be-
tween the officers, as they are. in the
main. highly educated. scientifically
trained in the art of war. and used to
the sea.
A well known expert. comparing the
battleships of both sides. says:
II think it may be said that in
point of homogeneity, OF weight of
metal. OF protection, and OF speed. the
six Japanese ships are superior to the
eight Russian ships"
The probabilities Of sudden dash
at the outset must be kept in mind, as
Japan has of late been a keen believer
