nave added that Asia will become all
 Slav or all civilized.
 The evident mission" of Russia is
 to spread all over the world and con-
 vert everything to the temporal do-
 minion of the czar and the spiritual
 dominion of the Greek church. The
 declared mission" of Japan is to
 carry western civilization to the orient,
 to be the leader of the far east in the
 march of modern progress. Tn the
 course of events these two missions
 collided. The result was war.
 In time of peace the Russian con-
 stantly prepares for war On peace
 footing the army numbers about 1.000,-
 900 men, and each year 370.oo0 young
 men reach twenty-one and are liable to military service. In time of war the
 government has 3,6O0,O0O men, half a
 million horses and 5000 guns Exemp- tions from entering the army are
 many and various. These are, first, physical disability; second, when the candidate is a breadwinner for a fam l fly; third, medical men, chemists teachers, members of learned profes-
 sions: proficients in technical studies, etc. (this applies only in times of peace, of course); fourth, those exempted be- cause of special circumstances. All ! these causes serve to disquaify near. ly half of those who apply. If the remainder amounts to more than the

 The Russian Purpose.
 Russia can be compared to 8 lake fed from some invisible source and ever increasing in its area. Like the lake, too, it has only spread over con- tfguous territory. This is the peculiar difference between the Muscovite and every other conquering nation. Rome and England have taken colonies wherever they could be secured. Rus sia took only those adjacent. She even sold Alaska, which. though near, was separated by water. There is no nation so unified, so organic, and this unity Is not only governmental, but geographic Whatever she takes she assimilates. It may be never so much at enmity to her, she makes it Russian. This process may require centuries. Her purpose is longer. She may leave the captured territory the fiction of a separate government, even permit it to remain ostensibly under the control of some other great power. It suffices that she has goined 2 foothold This

More and more money is spent each year on education, and yet the univer- sities are veritable hotbeds of revclu- tion. Thousands of students and other educated men are banished every year. The revolutionary spirit is strong in the army, and on numerous occasions troops have refused to fire on rioters when ordered to do so The present war will doubtless have somewhat of a oppressive effect temporarily upon the revolutionary movement, but only a greater measure of personal liberty will satisfy the people and cause them to cease endeavoring to change the em- pire's form of government.
